Zohran Mamdani and Samar Ali Raised by Fathers Who Want to Erase Israel

What is the effect of growing up in a stew of Jew-hatred and wanting to destroy the Jew’s ancestral homeland and only Jewish majority country in the world?

Zohran Mamdani
Zohran has his father to thank for radicalizing him against all things Israel and its Jews. Zohran’s father Mahmood Mamdani “has called for the “dismantlement” of the state of Israel, compared Israelis to Nazis and spread hatred of Israel and Zionism.” To no surprise he supported the pro-Hamas college encampments.

Learning at his father’s knee, mayor-elect Mamdani has publicly endorsed the BDS campaign against Israel, has accused Israel of committing a genocide against palestinians and unrepentently throws around the “globalize the infitada” threat, which is widely understood to be a call for violence against Jews.

 As explained in the American Jewish Committee’s Translate Hate Glossary, the First Intifada (1987-early 1990s) and Second Intifada (2000-2005, aka, the Al-Aqsa Intifada), palestinian Jew-hatred included protests, demonstrations and suicide bombings in “civilian areas and passenger bus bombings.”

During the Second Intifada’s terror attacks, a palestinian blew himself up in a popular and crowded Sbarro pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem, killing 16 people including 7 children and a pregnant woman; 130 others were wounded.

During the Second Intifada, 1,137 Israeli civilians were killed and 5,676 were wounded.

Indeed, for Jews, the intifada reference is no figment of their imagination given the intentional post-October 7th violence against Jews in the U.S. and in other countries. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the campus pro-Hamas demonstrations to the post October 7th pro-Hamas marches around the country including in Nashville, to the intentional slaying of the young couple outside of the DC Capital Jewish Museum or the Denver molotov cocktail attack on a public gathering in support of the hostages then being held by Hamas.

Mamdani also tosses around the “free Palestine” catchphrase, short for “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free”, meaning there would be no Israel or Jews between the Jordan River and Mediterranean. It is the popular anti-Israel war cry of the BDS crowd which includes Mamdani and his circle of like-minded comrades. Not by coincidence it is also used by rabid Jew-haters like the Denver molotov cocktail thrower.

Samar Ali
Unlike Mamdani, Samar understands the political environment in which she operates, so instead of the direct Mamdani approach, she aligns with others who do the anti-Israel work. 

Don’t underestimate the self-described “peacemaker”. In a poorly sourced and biased op-ed penned by Vanderbilt’s 2023 student body president, Samar defends Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s use of “from the river to the sea” because Tlaib didn’t “intend” for it to reflect her antisemitism. Samar’s round-about explanation and alleged sourcing of the phrase makes no mention of it’s adoption as the badge of the BDS movement whose expressed goal is the elimination of the State of Israel.

Tlaib was censured by Congress including support from twenty-two Democrats, for defending the slogan. The resolution formally condemned Tlaib for “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel”

Samar has served as Zulfat Suara’s, campaign treasurer during both of Suara’s Metro Council successful elections.

During Suara’s many years of leading the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), the organization platformed some of the most vocal and poisonous Jew-haters including Linda Sarsour and Ash-Lee Henderson to “challenge Zionism”, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel.  Martin Luther King Jr., often cited by progressives as a symbol for social justice, understood that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. As he said, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism.”

At the same time, local Tennessee Jew-hater Drost Kokoye served for years on Suara’s board who apparently didn’t get Kokoye to either tone down her anti-Jew rhetoric or resign from the board.

Years before connecting with Suara, in 2012, Samar traveled with Jimmy Carter to witness the election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohamed Morsi as Egypt’s new president. That’s the same Morsi who In a 2010, video declared, “[w]e must never forget, brothers, to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews”.

Two years later in 2014, Carter again blamed Israel for the strife in the Middle East and demanded recognition of Hamas as a “legitimate political actor” despite its designation as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997, by the U.S. government.

After Samar’s trip with Carter, her father’s foundation began donating to the Carter Center.

Closer to the Ali home, is her father Subhi’s mentorship under Hisham Sharabi, the founder and chairman of what became the Jerusalem Fund (JF). Subhi served as vice-chairman taking over as chairman in 2005, shortly before Sharabi died. 

In 2006, Samar served as the transatlantic liaison for one of the Jerusalem Fund’s projects. Her father Subhi continues to be listed as chairman of the Fund’s board.

Subhi’s mentor Sharabi was a board member of WISE(World and Islam Studies Enterprise) which was incorporated and led by Sami al-Arian who was subsequently sentenced in 2006 to prison and deported for conspiring to provide material support to the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). According to the indictment, WISE funneled payments to the PIJ martyrs through the Islamic International Arab Bank (Arab Bank).

In 2003, while Subhi was serving as vice-chair of the board, the Jerusalem Fund hosted a conference titled, “Israel’s Policy of Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing,” reflecting the Fund’s real purpose. Sharabi who described Hamas as “the true faida’i (self-sacriaice) resistance in Palestine since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada, ”justified a Palestinian “armed struggle” if necessary, to end Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza. 

Under Samar father’s leadership, the Jerusalem Fund continued it’s anti-Israel agenda, celebrating its 40th anniversary featuring a keynote by then sitting Israeli-Arab Knesset member, Haneen Zoabi who compared Israel to Germany in the 1930s, claimed Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state and suggested that Israeli-Arab members of the Knesset should work to undermine the State of Israel from within.

Speakers hosted by the Jerusalem Fund persist in spreading the false propaganda of Israel as an apartheid state. 

Vocal antisemite Hatem Bazian, founder of the anti-israel groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), has been a invited speaker for the Jerusalem Fund (JF). A recent report from the Endowment for Middle East Truth, suggests stronger connections with Bazian, who, “is also a link between JF, AMP, and SJP, through his membership at Al-Shabaka: a global think tank for pro-Palestinian academics.”

According to Canary Mission, Bazian who is also a leader in the BDS campaign against Israel, he has “called for “intifada” in America, defended the Hamas terror group, expressed support for terrorists and fundraised for a Hamas-linked charity. He has politicized academic coursework, demonized Israel and Zionists, and showed support for pro-Hamas student encampments.”

Under Samar’s father’s leadership, the JF became even more vocal in pushing the BDS campaign against Israel. Yousef Munayyer, the Fund’s director and vocal BDS anti-Israel agitator, left in 2014, to take leadership of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). Tablet Magazine has exposed a troubling money relationship between USCPR and U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations in the piece BDS Umbrella Group Linked to Palestinian Terrorist Organizations.

No surprise perhaps that Samar’s very close ally Metro Council member Zulfat Suara’s post-October 7th “ceasefire” resolution was “a template taken from the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) website”.

A closer look at Zulfat Suara’s alliances and activities related to Israel, Zionism and Jews, explains more perhaps about why Samar Ali has chosen to put herself in Suara’s camp, one that Samar has been raised to appreciate. Her mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria and her father is a Palestinian who lived for a time in Ramallah, the city where Yasser Arafat, often referred to as the “father of modern terrorism” because of his “decades long involvement in terrorism“, established his Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) headquarters.

Arafat popularized the black and white keffiyeh now being paraded on college campuses by pro-Hamas idiots.

As stated in the report from the Endowment for Middle East Truth, Subhi Ali’s Jerusalem Fund “…is a prominent part of the Islamist network in the United States.”

It’s Time to End the Islamization of America

Today, when law enforcement finds a “manifesto” explaining the details of why and how an act of violence has occurred or will be occurring, it becomes a valuable, integral part of an investigation. These manifestos have been treasure troves of information, perhaps giving a deep look into the why the suspect committed the act of violence. Manifestos are so valuable, they have been the center of many lawsuits to prevent their contents from becoming public.

So why has the Muslim Brotherhoods “manifesto” been ignored and put on a back burner? Is it because there are no outward statements of violence? In the case of “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” ( the Brotherhoods manifesto, first several pages are in Arabic, English follows)) there is no violence but rather a systematic, methodical outline of organizations and groups and how they will come from within to destroy America. Why would law enforcement ignore this valuable document? It even was admitted into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation Trial held in Dallas Texas in 2008.

 Today, as we witness the outward aggressive progression of Muslims that have taken over many American cities, the question that begs to be answered is why the US Government is not doing anything about this. Except for Texas, where yesterday Gov Abbott proclaimed the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) to be terrorist organizations.  CAIR, doing what it does best immediately issued a statement followed by threats of lawsuits against the state of Texas and its Gov Greg Abbott. A proclamation signed by Abbott claims that CAIR “is an Islamist organization that, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, was founded as a ‘front group’ for ‘Hamas and its support network’ in the United States.”  It’s founder and current executive director Nihad Awad has admitted he is a supporter of Hamas.

I’m a supporter of the Hamas movement” Nihad Awad Executive Director of CAIR

Abbott has been the first Governor in the United States to take such action, but whether it has teeth or not will be seen in the future. Governors in every state should immediately follow Abbotts decision to do this, despite all the accusations of being Islamophobic. Whether or not the courts will reject this doesn’t matter… forcing CAIR to put money out to battle lawsuits would be detrimental to their finances for sure. It would also cause Muslim Brotherhood front groups to be exposed as to their intent to destroy America from within.

In order to be effective, politicians must first have a spine and not fear being called Islamophobes, bigots or haters. They must take into account the validity of their manifesto and understand the intentions of Muslims in todays America. We either will remain a democracy that embraces its Christian -Judeo principals or be turned into a land under sharia law.

I urge every American citizen that understands this legitimate threat to contact their state representatives and encourage them to take a stand against the Islamization of our cities. It no longer is something to be placed on a back burner, our country’s future is at stake.

Jihad in the U.S. including Tennessee

The U.S. House Subcommittee on Counterrorism and Intelligence just released a snapshot report titled “Foreign Jihadist Networks and Homegrown Violent Extremism: a Persistent Terror Threat to America”. https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Updated-Terror-Threat-Snapshot-copy.pdf

The 14-page report lists selected incidents of U.S.-based jihadi attacks, foreign terrorist networks and homegrown violent extremism. The report is a thin summary of the many jihadi-inspired attacks in the U.S. over the years. More on that at a later date.

The report’s contents should not surprise anyone who has been paying attention since the jihadis have been here for a loooooong time. They have been enabled to metastasize and enlarge their circles of influence through immigration, conversion and preaching a doctrine that hates the Judeo-Christian west with the end goal of eliminating it – subjugation through acts of terror, political sharia, providing material support to jihadi groups, killing individuals with vehicles and knives – whatever it takes.

It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that at least since the 2007 successful prosecution of leaders of the Holy Land Foundation and the exposing of the Muslim Brotherhood’s presence and plan (referred to as the 1991 Memorandum for North America, linked below), our government has known about these actors and their intentions.

It does not appear, however, that our government was either consistent or persistent in taking the Brotherhood and jihadi commitment to our destruction, seriously enough.

Originally named the “Occupied Land Fund”, the Holy Land Foundation was the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. which claimed it was raising funds to bring humanitarian relief to needy Palestinians in the “occupied territories” – a claim dispelled by the prosecution of the fund’s leaders. 

The 2007 prosecution by the DOJ shut down the Foundation for funding Hamas and other Islamic terrorist organizations. 

Several of the Islamist organizations operating in the U.S. and named in the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 plan titled An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group In North Americawere named as unindicted co-conspirators for providing material support in the form of raising money to support the U.S. designated terrorist organization Hamas. 

In 2009, when ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), and several other of the big Islamist organizations still in full operation today, unsuccessfully challenged their unindicted co-conspirator status, the judge held that “[t]he government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, with NAIT, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and with Hamas.” 

(As a side note, Metro Nashville Council member Zulfat Suara has been an active participant with ISNA which named her “Muslim policy advocate of the year”,speaking at their 2018 conference on a panel with her good friend and fellow Jew hater Rashida Tlaib.. That was the same year that during Suara’s leadership of AMAC, they featured virulent Jew-hating anti-Israel speakers to attack Zionism).

The point of this history lesson is to question why members of Congress like Rep. Mark Green who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee aren’t talking about the organizations operating in the U.S. which are affiliated with or otherwise connected to and supportive of Hamas?

Mark Green could perhaps start with a hearing featuring people like CAIR’s executive director Nihad Awad. The committee and viewing public could watch Awad’s 1994, unconditional statement of moving his support from one terrorist organization, the PLO, to Hamas:

I used to support the PLO, and I used to be the President of the General Union of Palestine Students which is part of the PLO here in the United States, but after I researched the situation inside Palestine and outside, I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO.

https://www.investigativeproject.org/223/cairs-awad-in-support-of-the-hamas-movement

Shortly after the October 7th massacre Awad amplified his support for terrorism and Hamas. 

Better yet, why not indict and move forward with prosecutions of the organizations confirmed in the 2009 court ruling based on “ample evidence” to be connected to Hamas, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization? (Maybe Mark Green should meet with Steve Emerson ((investigative project on terrorism)) who has one of the most detailed catalogues of this type of documentation).

Why not peel back the layers of the Israel hating BDS group like the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights which, sounding similar to the Holy Land Foundation scheme, “helps facilitate tax-exempt donations to a Palestinian coalition that includes Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other groups the U.S. State Department designates as terror organizations.” https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/bds-umbrella-group-linked-to-palestinian-terrorist-organizations

Will the day come when Congress tires of simply compiling “reports” to tell us that jihad in the U.S. is a continuing problem and instead, take action to dismantle at least some parts of its U.S. based jihadi infrastructure? After all, the report says it is a “persistent” threat. Maybe email Mark Green and ask him what comes after the 14-page snapshot report? https://markgreen.house.gov/email-me

AMAC & TN Higher Ed Help Foment Jew-Hatred in Tennessee

The big question is why has this happened in Tennessee and why hasn’t it been questioned?

Have Islamists like those who founded and run the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), reduced Tennesseans to useful idiots? Have they done such a good job of perverting and subverting our rights to serve their doctrinal hatred of Jews as to make questioning their Jew-hatred verrboten?Has their continual whining about imagined and alleged discrimination made it off limits to “offend” them in some way?

From Vanderbilt, to University of Memphis, to MTSU to UTKnoxville, Islamist Jew-haters have not held back on publicly posting their Jew-hatred. In 2016, details were reported about what was happening on Tennessee college campuses with students posting messages such as calling to “annihilate Jewish, Zionist dogs”. https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/11/28/tennessee-students-calls-to-annihilate-jewish-zionist-dogs-uncovered-by-covert-campus-watchdog/

An early vocal and venomous Jew-hater who started as a high-schooler and continued in college is former MTSU student and Muslim Students Association organizer Dana Swaies whose antisemite profile is posted on Canary Mission website which exposes haters of the U.S., Israel, and Jews. https://canarymission.org/individual/Dana_Swaies. According to this entry, as of March 2021, Swaies’s LinkedIn page said she was a Scheduling Coordinator at the Murfreesboro offices of Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, in Tennessee, since November 2020.  Makes you wonder what she says to her co-workers.

2016 is the same year when under Zulfat Suara’s leadership of the AMAC, they brought zealous Jew-hater Linda Sarsour to be a featured speaker at an AMAC event and provide a platform for her to spread her lies about Israel and suggest ways for others to advocate against the sole Jewish state in the world. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-normalizes-anti-semitism-in-tennessee/

It was under Suara’s leadership that in 2016, AMAC also officially began its relationship with publicly recognized antisemites meeting in Nashville with Pramilla Jayapal and Ilhan (it’s the Benjamin babies) Omar. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-board-member-welcomed-anti-semites-ilhan-omar-and-rep-pramila-jayapal-to-nashville/

With the help of AMAC and student groups like the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and the Middle Eastern Studies Association (MESA), Sarsour has been enabled to foul and pollute college campuses in Tennessee. In July 2023, because of its extreme antisemitism and advocacy for the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions campaign against Israel, MESA got booted from its headquarters located at George Washington University.

 

Sarsour’s special brand of Jew hatred has been wrapped in the intesectionality/allyship, a socialist theory of connecting groups in a common struggle with the “oppressed” against the “oppressor”. Not surprisingly, the “oppressors” are stereotyped as privileged white supremacists.

Intersectionality, allyship and the other garbage that those like Sarsour and her sycophants like former AMAC board member and anti-Jew agitator, Drost Kokoye dish out, deliberately weaponize these theories against Jews even if they aren’t white or privileged.

It’s notable that Kokoye, a Kurdish refugee who came to live in Nashville at the largesse of the U.S. and was a long-standing board member of AMAC, was one of the earliest anti-Israel provocateurs, standing on Nashville streets with her sign parading the Israel genocide lie and taking her bullhorn to rally for the destruction of Israel. She also has an extensive write-up on the Canary Mission website https://canarymission.org/individual/Drost_Kokoye

Amira Sakalla, another speaker featured in AMAC’s 2018 anti-Zionism program, was among UT Knoxville’s earliest anti-Israel campus agitators. Her dishonest rhetoric and hateful actions earned her a write-up on Canary Mission. https://canarymission.org/individual/Amira_Sakalla

Joining Sakalla in AMAC’s 2018 Jew-hate fest event, was super Jew-hater Ash-Lee Henderson whose greatest wish to destroy the U.S. and Israel is detailed in the Dailyrollcall documented eight part series.

Zulfat Suara, was a co-founder and leader of AMAC since 2012. Suara is now a Metro Nashville council member who stepped down as public leader of AMAC when she ran for office. But her commitment to the same anti-Jew agenda has not stopped so she remains a named board member of the organization.

Linda Sarsour & Suara

As a Metro Council member Suara has steadfastly refused, even after the October 7th massacre, to condemn Hamas. To drive this point home, Suara used templated language from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), and sponsored a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the war started by Hamas.

The Jew-hating USCPR’s focus is to turn Americans against Israel. The USCPR has troubling ties to Tennessee.

Just as Suara has refused to condemn Hamas, neither does her resolution, despite the fact that Hamas has vowed to repeat October 7th over and over again until all Jews are dead and Israel destroyed. Instead, Suara validates Hamas by citing it’s U.S. counterpart CAIR’s allegations of Islamophobia. FBI statistics consistently show hate crimes against Jews dwarf anti-Muslim activity.

Author and social media influencer Alyssa Rosenheck exposed the fact that Suara’s resolution was “a template taken from the USCPR website, a group funneling tax-exempt donations to Palestinian organizations, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other U.S.-designated terrorist groups.“BDS Umbrella Group Linked to Palestinian Terrorist Organizations.” StandWithUs.com also has a great fact sheet exposing USCPR.

It has been known and documented for decades since the Holy Land Foundation prosecution, that the Muslim Brotherhood tentacles are wrapped in and around Islamist organizations like CAIR and the Muslim Student Association (MSA).

Don’t for one minute forget that CAIR’s leader Nihad Awad has publicly voiced his support for the U.S, designated terrorist group HAMAS and more currently, his support for the barbarism of October 7th against Israeli civilians. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/tennessee-muslims-with-radical-anti-jew-pro-palestine-activists/

For all intents and purposes, AMAC is Tennessee’s CAIR chapter and CAIR is HAMAS. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-tn-american-muslim-advisory-council-is-cairs-tennessee-chapter/ and antisemitism is the lifeblood of CAIR, its organizers, employees and fellow travelers.

Sarsour, CAIR’s Nihad Awad & Yasir Qadhi former Memphis imam

The Investigative Project on Terrorism has produced an extensive well-documented report – “CAIR Antisemitism Unmasked”. https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/1172-cair-antisemitism-unmasked.pdf. By its actions, AMAC is right in the mix.

And Yet Another Terrorist Group Opens in America…

Islamists have been telling us for years.

But instead many have embraced, supported and accepted their warnings under the guise of religion.

Now as we watch the UK fall to its knees, we must either acknowledge their deceit or prepare to accept their way of life. What will it be America?

Undoubtedly, we will be labeled Islamophobes, haters and bigots but just like the democrats who are now showing us their communist colors, Islamists are no longer hiding their destructive agenda.

As we have witnessed terrorist organizations publicly attack American icons and desecrate our flag, we stand silent. Why?

Now, let me introduce you to another organization coming out of the dark here in the United States. Cage International. Cage is an anti Jewish, anti- American Islamist advocacy group that appears as a human rights group on behalf of known Al Qaida and convicted terrorists. Once again, many will see this as helping Muslims who have been unfairly treated in America. What needs to be known is Cage wants to see dangerous terrorists released from prisons. One such person is Al- Qaida operative Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist convicted and sentenced for attempting to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. Siddiqui was sentenced to 86 years, which CAGE now claims the nine allegations she was convicted of were “lies and inconsistencies”.  

The biggest voice for Cage here in the United States is Omar Sulieman, founder and president of the Yaqeen Institute in Irving TX and also an adjunct professor at the Southern Methodist University. Sulieman is a strong supporter of the BDS movement, as well as CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations AKA Hamas) and AMP (American Muslims for Palestine). He believes the war on terror equates with a war on Muslims, a popular belief by Muslims in the United States, as they continually portray themselves as victims.

Because Suliman is considered by many as a pious Islamic preacher, his relationships with Christian preachers will be used to further this cause. What religious leaders here in the United States need to understand is embracing those advocating for the release of convicted terrorists that have killed Americans, or attempted to, were tried and convicted by our criminal justice system and must not be released under the false guise of “Muslim persecution”, or Islamophobia.

Leaders of Cage International promote jihadi and terrorist ideology, using the victim card as the chance to see violent Islamic terrorists in the UK and the US be released from prisons under humanitarian and social justice rights.   

It is only a matter of time, all the Islamic organizations here within the United States ban together and declare the call to jihad. It’s happening in the UK, and it is not far behind for us.

The Rise Of Muslim Extremism Is Happening, This Time In America.

News flash: Over 30,000 people clash with Capitol Police and the Secret Service using smoke bombs in an attempt to crash through fencing.  Sound familiar? Only this wasn’t the staged Jan 6th 2021, this was June 8th 2024.

 

This wasn’t an insurrection, this is a level of Islamic Jihad. And yet Americans continue to support and embrace pro-Palestinian rallies and protests.  For years and years Islamists have claimed the West would be taken “from within”, and Sharia Law would be the law of the land. America and Europe will fall to the Islamic State ( or as some say, the Global Caliphate.)

America they are telling us their goal, why don’t you believe them? One only has to look at Britain to see how far Muslims have advanced, but one has to remove their blinders and rose colored glasses to do so. Islam is not a peaceful religion, Islam has vowed to be superior to all other religions at any and all costs.

Jihad is the means to achieve that. Muslims will tell you Jihads definition  in Arabic is “to struggle”, In Islam jihad means holy war. The Quran specifically exempts the disabled and ‘weak’ from Jihad ( Sura 4:95, 9:91), which would make no sense if the word is being used within the context of spiritual struggle. Jihad is mentioned over 50 times in reference to the words of Muhammad (in sahih verses).  Each carries a clear connotation to holy war.

 In one of the most detailed, revealing manifestos ever seen by US law enforcement and intelligence experts is the Muslim Brotherhoods manifesto titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”, written in 1991. This document was found in a Hamas members basement during a raid by the FBI. It later was used as evidence to help indict several Hamas members and co-conspirators for funding Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization on the US State Depts Terror watch list. Their intentions in this document are very clear:

 

 

As things are to go, the first stage of Islamic conquest has already taken place with the successful attempts to portray Muslims as peaceful and victims of racism, (Even though Islam is not a race) calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime, threats of legal actions against those “discriminating” against Muslims, and interfaith events to indoctrinate non-Muslims.

Muslims are masters at being victims, and America loves victims. We have embraced and accepted their agenda all under the guise of religion, despite the exposure of their goals. As the numbers of Muslims increase, so does the threat. Islam is a united front, what occurs “over there” will also occur here, in a matter of time.   

In a recent article by Robert Spencer published on PJ Media, a disturbing trend has in fact taken place in many cities where the mayors are Muslims. Why does that matter? Effecting change can only be done by changing policies, rules and laws and politicians are the ones that are able to do that. Dismissing traditional policies to implement Sharia law has already begun, and will continue as numbers of Muslims grow.

As we saw this past week with Muslims openly declaring war on America with the burning of our flag, and the desecration of historical monuments, it no longer is just about the war in Gaza..it is about their disdain for America and all we stand for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only in America with the current political and social climate could a terrorist organization take to the streets without any consequences.  In case you are one of many still asleep, Hamas is a designated foreign terrorist group here in the United States.  Here is the link :

https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/

Hamas is no different than Al-Qaida, Boko Haram or ISIS. Yet we have allowed them to flourish here in America. We have given them platforms across the country to spread their ideology also known as Islam. We have given them permission to enter our colleges and universities under the guise of “religious” freedom. We have embraced them as they portray themselves as constant victims. We have bowed to them as they tell you how pious they are during “interfaith” gatherings. And now we are standing back and watching them destroy our history and our country. For those that remain ignorant or gullible, Islam is the foundation to how  and why these groups operate.  It is beyond time to believe what the Islamists are telling us.

Vanderbilt University Bribed a Jew-Hater With Fully Paid Tuition

Several university chapters of the National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organization have this week, publicly voiced unwavering support for Hamas and for the barbaric murdering of Israeli civilians, butchering of families, decapitating babies, the elderly and the taking of hostages which include young children.

SJP’s co-founder, Hatem Bazian came as a college student to the U.S. from the Hamas stronghold of Nablus in the West Bank. He brought his Islamic Jew-hatred with him and created the SJP  campus hate group.  Across U.S. campuses, SJP’s chapters activities and actions, along with the group’s DNA as pictured below, make the group ineligible for chartering as a campus student organization. 

And yet, campus administrations, too many of which have failed to condemn the SJP-supported Hamas murdering of civilians, and too many of which ignore the antisemitism on their campuses, willingly look the other way and let these Jew-hating groups operate with administration support.

UT-Knoxville had an SJP chapter as early as 2013. 

In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that Vanderbilt University had a SJP chapter launched by Hytham Al-Hindi, who, as a Vanderbilt Ingram Scholar would have his undergraduate degree tuition fully paid for.

 

In exchange for the $160,000 plus in free education, Vanderbilt was going to get its own Jew-hating, HAMAS- connected Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) student organization, started by Al-Hindi.

Who was Hytham Al-Hindi and what are his motives to align with SJP?

Hytham Al-Hindi hailed from Jonesboro, Arkansas. His father, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hindi is a cardiologist who graduated from Jordan University of Science & Technology in northern Jordan, the country presumed to be where Dr. Al-Hindi immigrated from to the U.S.

In 2008, about 3.5 million people in Jordan were believed to be of Palestinian ancestry. Is Dr. Al-Hindi’s ancestry Palestinian? Does Dr. Al-Hindi have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan? Is he an anti-Israel sympathizer? Does he have political views that may have influenced his son?

Hytham Al-Hindi’s Ingram Scholars bio documents his high engagement with the immigrant and refugee populations in Nashville. He volunteered with the refugee resettlement agency NICE (Nashville International Center for Empowerment), that was started by a former refugee turned government contractor “entrepeneur.” (Remember this when the propagandists tell you how great it is that refugees come and start businesses.)

Hytham’s facebook page looked like the who’s who of Muslim Brotherhood organizations. His listed “favorites” included:

Since he was starting an SJP chapter at Vanderbilt, it’s no surprise that he also listed as “favorites” some of the most aggressive and virulent leftist anti-Israel and Jew-hating individuals and organizations that promote the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel). After all, demonization and delegitimization of Israel along with promoting BDS is the core belief of SJP:

  • Angela Davis – former Black Panther party member and Communist
  • Noam Chomsky – “America is worse than Nazi Germany”
  • Rachel Corrie Foundation
  • Jewish Voice for Peace – listed by the Anti-Defamation League as one of the top 10 anti-Israel groups in the U.S. and an aggressive promoter of BDS
  • SJP Loyola
  • Loyola Divest
  • NU Divest (Northwestern University Divest) – its student government passed a divest Israel resolution by two votes

The end goal of the BDS campaign is to eliminate the State of Israel since its existence is hateful to Hamas, Iran and other Arab countries that chosen to support Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism. When pro-BDS and pro-Hamas agitators chant “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” they are saying that their vision is that there will be no Israel between the Jordan River and Mediterranean—and no Jews – it’s Judenrein.

SJP emulates the language and values of HAMAS. For this reason and because of the extreme anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred displayed by the chapter members, SJP is more accurately labeled “Hamas on Campus.”

SJP chapters on college campuses sponsor events like “Israel Apartheid Week,” disrupt pro-Israel events, and are the primary agitators pushing anti-Israel BDS resolutions introduced to student governments. SJP chapters have created hostile and intimidating campus environments for Jewish students. SJP prides itself on bringing conflict and divisiveness to college campuses along with using a well-financed disinformation campaign that spreads their hatred towards Jews and Israel.

Does Vanderbilt invite Jew hatred?

Vanderbilt actively recruits international students. Recent data from “Open Doors on International Education Exchange” shows that annually several thousand students from places like the Palestinian territories, Iran, Yemen, Qatar, Kuwait and Lebanon, for example, attend U.S. universities.

They are all Muslim majority countries, some of which promote hatred of Jews and Israel. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader who died last year at age 96, supported Palestinian suicide bombings, was based in Qatar. Saudi Arabia follows the strictest form of sharia law which prohibits Jews from being citizens. Iran is behind the recent Hamas massacre of Israelis and supplies Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon with weapons so they can attack Israelis and Jews. 

So, what ideology do these students bring with them? Do they gravitate more to student groups like the MSA, SJP and the Middle Eastern Students Association? Homegrown in Waverly, Tennessee, Samar Ali co-founded the Middle Eastern Students Association at Vanderbilt because as she said, “I will always be Arab and I will always be American and I will always be Muslim….My parents always taught us to never forget where we came from and to never forget where we are now.” This sounds eerily similar to the motives behind the anti-Israel work of her father’s Jerusalem Fund organization here, here and here for example. 

Vanderbilt and every campus that has an SJP chapter must ask itself whether a group tied to HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, can be chartered under any school’s rules for student organizations. Can public money be allowed to flow to these groups? Should private money be permitted to enable these groups?

In true leftist-progressive fashion, Vanderbilt made Christian campus groups unwelcome by enforcing the zero tolerance all-comers’ policy. While the SJP chapter at Vanderbilt quietly faded away, if some form of it reemerges with the administration’s support, will Jews at Vanderbilt be the next group to have to leave?

Belmont University Dilemma..Christian Speaker On Christian Campus Offends Muslim Students

The Muslim Student Association is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization in many Middle Eastern countries, and if 2021 proposed legislation is passed in DC, the Brotherhood will also be on the United States State Depts Foreign Terrorist Organization list. The following is an excerpt from The Muslim Brotherhood “manifesto” which details their goals and how to accomplish them.

The Muslim Brotherhood, aka the Ikhwan, has several groups represented within the United States, including the state of Tennessee. The Muslim Student Association was founded in 1963 at the University of Illinois-Urbana for the sole purpose of dawa, or the proselytizing of Islam to non-Muslims. It was during a trial held in Dallas Texas that several Muslim organizations were included in the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto, with the MSA being listed as number 2.

This “manifesto” is named the Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,  (English begins on page 15) which was presented as evidence in the trial in TX known as the Holy Land Foundation.

So it should be very disturbing to learn Belmont University has allowed the Muslim Student Association to be one of its student organizations. What is even more disturbing is the President of Belmont, Dr Greg Jones has apologized for not vetting a Christian speaker to come on to the campus. Imagine that, a Christian speaker going to a Christian school, and Muslims at the school are offended.

 The event was put on by the Crescent Project, a non-profit that attempts to build bridges with, and eventually hopes to bring Muslims to Christianity.  Members of the Muslim Student Association were so offended, they asked for an apology from the President, as well as making sure it never happens again. Belmont President Jones tasked staff to establish a set of guidelines that any future speakers would agree to before being allowed to speak, and of course apologized like any good scaredy cat would do.

A question that begs to be asked is why Muslims are even attending a school that is steeped in Christian values? While Muslims like to say their universities and colleges are open to all, non-Muslims are rarely accepted into them.  Well, the answer is because it is the Muslim goal to bring Christians to Islam, and dawa is the tool that is used.

Another interesting note is that the efforts to begin a Muslim Student Association were repeatedly turned down prior to Dr Greg Jones becoming President of the university. It was only until a year ago, the MSA was allowed to organize. If you search for this group to be listed in the general directory of student organizations, you won’t find it. However it is found under the link for school events and news called Bruinlink.

Unfortunately, President Jones displays a passion for diversity, equity and inclusion more than the Christian values that were maintained for years.  One only has to compare the vision and mission statements from years ago to the ones Jones created to see it’s more about social justice than Jesus.

Belmont University President Dr. Greg Jones

District 63 (formerly Glen Casada) – Please, No More State Legislators With Questionable Money Handling

Exchanging sexually demeaning text messages and the scandal it created was enough for Glen Casada to resign as Speaker of the House. But it was not enough for District 63 to reject him as their representative, choosing instead to re-elect him in 2020 to serve for two more years. 

Sparing his district from further humiliation, but with stunning hubris, Casada, whose home was searched by the FBI for suspected ties to “shadowy” handling of campaign money, ran for Williamson County Clerk in the most recent primary. County voters handed him a resounding defeat.

Isn’t it time for voters in District 63 to clean up their act and elect someone who won’t continue to make Tennessee a national joke (watch video at end of post), and who demonstrates prudence when it comes to money? 

District 63 candidate Laurie Cardoza Moore has put up a highly stylized campaign website that looks good and sounds good but ….?

In contrast, Republican candidate Jake McCalmon’s campaign website is straightforward, reflecting a no nonsense grassroots, self-made working man who has earned his money instead of living off donated funds like Moore does from her 501(c)3 Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN).

Moore describes herself as a homeschool mom but talks a lot about what she believes is going on in the state’s public schools. In contrast, McCalmon has three kids who right now actually attend his county’s public schools where he has a front row seat and a very personal investment.

Given the legacy of Casada which doesn’t appear to be over, District 63 voters should pay scrupulous attention to any money-handling information related to their next representative. For example, Moore’s non-profit organization PJTN 990’s raise reasonable questions.

The vast majority of money accumulated by Moore comes from donors which is then used by PJTN to employ Moore, her husband and her children. 

Nashville Scene’s Betsy Phillips has also noticed Moore’s handling of her organization’s finances. While her 501(c)(3) shouldn’t show a “profit”, it has, however, proven more than profitable for Moore, and her family members.  As Phillips notes, of the nine officers listed in the 2019 tax filing, Moore is the sole officer being paid, while “[t]he person who prepared the tax return and who is one of these officers was paid no salary.” 

In time for the 2020 tax year the PJTN Treasurer received a $60,000 salary.

The 2019 tax filing shows Moore’s salary at $145,120, despite running a balance sheet of liabilities outstripping revenue. The following year Moore took approximately 12% of donated funds and increased her salary to $160,000, continuing to run a balance sheet of liabilities exceeding revenue.

Daughters Christina and Jessica have been paid as “contract labor” since 2011, while daughter Josephine moved from contract labor to a $47,876 salary beginning in 2019.

Moore’s husband, owner of MP Films, Inc., has likewise profited from the PJTN business. Tax filings between 2011 and 2020, show that MP Films, Inc. was paid over $700,000 for “production expenses”. But according to the Tennessee Secretary of State’s website, MP Films, Inc. was dissolved in 2009. 

In 2020, Moore raised $1,360,051- almost all from donors. She paid herself $160,000, paid her husband’s business $97,301 and paid a total of $63,824 to employ three of her kids. In addition, she annually claims an “occupancy expense” which has been as high as $40,000 but a measly $36,484 in 2020. Phillips notes in her piece that Moore is using her “own nonprofit [to] pay[s] her this money to keep offices in a property she owns, like rent for having her own home office.” In PJTN’s early days, donor money also paid $15,445 in “rent and utilities” to Moore’s husband Stan who served as an officer of the organization.

In just one year, Moore’s “business model” paid out $421,433 to benefit her family. That amounts to 31% of donated funds going into the pockets of the Moore clan.

Another very serious question District 63 voters should address with Moore is the $150,000 loan made to its board chairman Stanley Tate. Despite Tate’s personal wealth, a sizable balance of the loan has not been repaid. According to Tennessee law, 48-58-303, non-profit corporations like PJTN are not supposed to “lend money to or guarantee the obligation of a director or officer of the corporation”.

Scattered through PJTN’s tax filings are amounts claimed for lobbying expenses, a chunk of which are not subject to tax. Moore’s 2017 claimed lobbying expenses of $86,000 presumably included her failed performance in front of a Tennessee House subcommittee. Despite lacking a credible factual foundation, Moore insisted that the University of Tennessee Knoxville campus was a hotbed of antisemitism driven by the campus’ Hamas related student groups. Three students from UTK, two Jewish and one Muslim, told legislators a completely different story sending Moore and her bill down in flames.

Moore’s stated positions on the issues posed on her campaign website are pretty standard fare from members in the General Assembly. Even her positions on Israel and antisemitism which have fueled her fundraising have long been the meat and potatoes of Tennessee Jewish Federations, the state’s Jewish community’s leader organization. 

This year, leaders from the Jewish community worked with state legislators, many of whom are members of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the largest pro-Israel grassroots organization in the U.S., to pass two landmark bills; a pro-Israel bill and another pushing back on antisemitism. Both bills will help educate all Tennesseans about antisemitism. Nor are Moore’s “ideas” about law enforcement training in Israel new or unique – it’s already being done and it’s the same for increased trade relations with Israel.

Plenty of free money in “production expenses” and a home-based business has made it easy for Moore to promote herself on social media and youtube. After all, that’s what brings in the dollars. If elevated to public office though, will she manipulate a new promotional perch from which to financially enrich herself and her family?

After the Glen Casada fiasco, District 63 has an opportunity to rehabilitate itself by sending someone whose representative duties won’t be inextricably tied to their organizational fundraising and nepotism that provides jobs for her family.

Et Tu Jim (Cooper)?

Reprinted here with permission from our friends at the new “Jewish Nashville Uncensored” blog.

3,000-plus rockets targeting Israeli civilians was more than enough for U.S. House Republican supporters of Israel to attempt an expedited vote sanction U.S. designated terrorist groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and governments like Iran which support them.

It wasn’t enough, however, for Tennessee Democrats Rep. Jim Cooper and Steve Cohen to break with Democrats and instead, voted* to block bringing Florida Rep. Brian Mast’s Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act (H.R.261) bipartisanreauthorization bill to the House floor.

Tennessee Republicans DesJarlais, Rose, Kustoff and Burchett were all co-sponsors of Mast’s bill.

In a very narrow 217-209 vote on Tuesday, May 18th, all Democrats, including Cooper and Cohen, voted to block the move despite the same bill passing unanimously in the House in 2019 although the Senate failed to take up the bill at that time. With the House blocking the bill’s consideration, Rep. Mast, committed to standing with Israel, brought the bill back this session, stating:

“Hamas preaches the destruction of Israel and death to everything we hold dear in the United States.  The recent attacks again show why we must cut off their financial support. But today 200 House Democrats backtracked on their previous support for this bill, and in doing so sent a clear message to the world that they stand with Radical Islamic terrorists like Hamas instead of with our ally Israel.”

Prior to the vote, Minority leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy made clear the importance of once again passing this bill – “[s]upport for Israel should remain a proud, bipartisan, but most of all, clear policy principle in Congress. As our greatest ally in the Middle East faces the most intense siege in 7 years, the House should make it clear to the world that we stand united in support of Israel.”

Today’s media out-of-control anti-Israel bias willingly adopted and spread the propaganda justifying Hamas’ attacks and villainizing Israel’s defense of its citizens – the same propaganda spread by Imam Bahloul in his recent Tennesseean oped. It’s the same propaganda used by Geraldo Rivera to condemn Israel in the name of Palestinian children in Gaza.

However, where are the voices of outrage for Israeli citizens terrorized by indiscriminately fired Hamas rockets? Who protects and speaks for Jewish children in Israel like the three little Fogel children, 11 year old Yoav, 4 year old Elad and their infant sister Hadas, who were murdered in their beds by Palestinian terrorists? The three boys kidnapped and murdered by Hamas? Hallel Yaffa Ariel?

CNN refused to call these acts of savagery terrorism even though the IDF had already said it was “an act of Palestinian terror.”

If this had happened in our country or our state, would our defense be more measured than Israel’s government? Would Nashville’s rabbis and imams who signed onto the “we may be opponents we need not be enemies” letter to the Observer in 2014 continue to stand by a slogan which trivializes Hamas’ vow to wipe the Jewish state off the map and BLM’s commitment to “dismantle the Zionist project”?

Opponents play games. Enemies, like Hamas, want to kill Jews. If the end goal is to destroy the Jewish homeland and kill all the Jews, what difference does it make whether you are an enemy or an opponent?  

No amount or degree of appeasement and funding from the U.S. will convince Hamas and its fellow jihadists to abandon their raison d’etre. Since 1994, U.S. funding to the Palestinians has totaled more than $5 billion dollars “and has been a key part of U.S. policy to encourage an Israeli-Palestinian peace process, improve life for West Bank and Gaza residents, and (since 2007) strengthen the allegedly moderate West Bank-based PA vis-à-vis Hamas in Gaza. U.S. contributions to UNRWA through global humanitarian accounts since 1950 have totaled more than $6 billion.”

Predictably, the Biden administration is pledging billions to rebuild Gaza. Inquiring minds want to know: does this include the miles of tunnels and thousands of missiles that Israel destroyed? And much of the funding will Hamas control? 

Viewed from this vantage point, Rep. Mast’s bill is not only timely, but overdue

Rep. Cooper is the June guest for lunch with the rabbi. 

We suspect Cooper will have prepared a pat justification for his vote to block sanctioning Hamas and that no one will be permitted to question his explanation. “Progressive” Odessa Kelly has already announced her 2022 primary challenge for Cooper’s seat putting pressure on him to up his own progressive bona fides even if it means refusing to acknowledge the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization that ought to be condemned by anyone with a functioning moral compass. 

Kelly was recruited and is being supported by the Justice Democrats organization which operates out of an address in Knoxville. This is the group which successfully installed and then expanded the anti-Semitic squad in Congress.

Tennessee’s 5th Congressional district voters who are committed to standing with Israel, there are options – Quincy McKnight and Robby Starbuck. While McKnight to date has been silent, Starbuck didn’t hesitate to remind his twitter followers that Hamas is a designated terrorist organization and in a recent podcast, demonstrated a fundamental understanding of the need for the U.S. to assist Israel in remaining safe and secure. Those who care about Israel and its six million Jews should take note of who stands with her when it counts. 

*confirmed by the GOP Whip’s office, roll call 146 where the vote was 217-209, is the procedural vote which dealt with Rep. Mast’s bill.
