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?

 

 

Hagerty Redefines Bipartisanship and Shares Political Consultant with David Briley!

Up until Briley lost big in his Nashville mayoral race on Thursday night, he and Hagerty were using the same fundraiser and political consultant, a young woman named Kim Kaegi.

Talk about redefining bipartisanship!!!!!

Kaegi jumped on the Briley team before Hagerty announced – a fact that would likely would have been known to experienced politicos Hagerty and Ward Baker who is running Hagerty’s campaign. And before Briley, Kaegi was on the payroll of the self-disgraced super radical, former mayor Megan Barry.

The optics of this may only bother the little people like the voters, not those who consider themselves above all those little details. After all, isn’t it always about “bipartisanship”?????

More recently team Hagerty announced that the super-establishment swamp leader Mitch McConnell has endorsed Hagerty for the Senate.

That’s an announcement not likely to make Tennessee conservatives feel all warm and fuzzy nor want to support Hagerty for Lamar’s Senate seat.

Talk about tone-deaf when it comes to Tennessee conservatives.

No one should be surprised about McConnell’s endorsement which is just a product of swamp politics. Ward Baker is close to swamp buddy McConnell. Baker has served as a political advisor to McConnell and for a time, was the executive director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Hagerty has WAY more baggage than Baker’s other Senatorial campaign winner, Marsha Blackburn. Piling on endorsements – even from Trump – is not likely to distract Tennessee conservatives from seeing what Hagerty is really about.

Hagerty describes himself as conservative family man in his campaign launch video. If he was telling the truth, he’d admit to being a political opportunist whose allegiances at the end of the day will be to elitist establishment globalists who he’s counting on to get him elected.

After Haslam appointed Hagerty to ECD Commissioner, Hagerty used his position to benefit Lamar Alexander’s son and daughter., He promoted Lamar’s son Will Alexander, to chief of staff at ECD. Before leaving ECD, Hagerty hired Lamar’s daughter Leslee to work for ECD.

On the heels of Will’s promotion, Hagerty hired Alice Rolli a former Lamar staffer in D.C. One year later, Rolli served as campaign manager for Lamars 2014 primary.

And being the political opportunist that he is, Hagerty signed on as a Jeb! delegate and only flipped to Trump after he won the primary.

And Hagerty political resume would be complete without again mentioning his role in Mittens Romney’s presidential campaign.

Starting to see a pattern of political allegiance?

The other big “gift” that Hagerty bestowed on Tennessee was hiring sharia finance specialist Samar Ali after her father called and asked Hagerty to take a look at her resume. Did Hagerty even bother to look at other resumes – you know, from just regular Tennesseans who didn’t have Hagerty’s cell phone number?

Samar’s father Subhi Ali has been chairing the board of the D.C. based Israel and Jew hating organization Jerusalem Fund, since 2005. Before becoming the chairman, he served as vice-chair alongside the Fund’s founder Hisham Sharabi, a prolific writer who glorified Arab terrorists.

Under Subhi Ali’s leadership, the Jerusalem Fund has hosted speakers who deny Israel’s right to exist, promote the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel, and attempt to deconstruct the narrative of HAMAS as a terrorist organization.

HAMAS is a U.S. designated terrorist organization.

Samar Ali served as treasurer helping Zulfat Suara, chair fo the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) from 2012 – 2019, get elected to the Metro Nashville Council. Suara is an ardent admirer of anti-Israel Muslims in Congress Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and under her leadership the AMAC signed onto TIRRC’s illegal immigration agenda for Nashville.

Putting Hagerty in a U.S. Senate seat means everyone from the globalist and big money Tennessee Republicans to his cell phone buddies, will have access. It will be Tennessee’s conservatives left standing outside the door.

It’s Easy as ABC Why Hagerty is Bad for Tennessee

A is for Ali as in Samar and Subhi Ali. 

Samar is the sharia compliant finance (SCF) expert Bill Hagerty hired after Haslam appointed him Commissioner of Economic & Community Development. Did she study SCF while serving as an intern at the Islamic Arab Bank in Jordan while it was under investigation for terrorist financing? Maybe it was her support for Democrats like Obama and Hillary that really sealed the deal for Hagerty? Or maybe it’s her oh so very close relationship with Israel-hating Jimmy Carter?

Samar says she got the job because she knew Hagerty from when she was an Obama White House fellow. But Hagerty said it was Samar’s daddy, Subhi, who called him and asked him to consider Samar for the job. Either way, it looks like the Samar and Subhi have Hagerty on speed dial.

B is for BDS! That’s the “Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions” campaign against Israel. Subhi Ali has been the Chairman of the D.C.-based Jerusalem Fund since 2005, an organization steeped in anti-Israel hatred and support for the BDS campaign against our ally Israel!  The Jerusalem Fund used to post the HAMAS charter on their website. HAMAS has been designated as a terrorist organization by our government!  What does Hagerty think about this? Did he know about Subhi’s anti-Israel organization when Subhi called him? Mayabe Hagerty agrees with the Jerusalem Fund’s agenda? Will Hagerty keep taking Subhi’s phone calls and maybe even a visit in the Senate office? 

C is for campaigns like Hagerty’s support for Bush in 2016 and his part in Romney’s 2008 campaign. Bush and Romney were both supporters of comprehensive Immigration reform otherwise known by true Conservatives as “amnesty”!

  Say no to Hagerty! It’s easy as ABC! 

 

Tennessee Has Its Own America-Hating Progressive “Squad” Member

In case you haven’t been following the news, Alexandria Occasional Cortex, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, four America-hating progressives in Congress are now being referred to as “The squad.”

At least two members of “The Squad” – Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib – have also voiced their hatred of all things Israel and Jews.

Pressley is only interested in black and brown people who will only agitate for black and brown people.

Occasional Cortex hates everything about us and falls in line with her squad comrades.

Tennessee’s squadster began tweeting out her America-hating-Jew-hating messages long before the others were elected by the other America-hating progressives in their districts.

Drost Kokoye is a Kurdish refugee who like Ilhan Omar was resettled to the U.S. when she was a child and like Omar, hates Americans but greedily takes advantage of the freedoms our country offers haters like herself.

Kokoye cultivated her “I hate America” persona, as a Multicultural Organizer and Board member for the TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC).

In the same year that Kokoye helped launch the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), serving as a board member since its founding, she was featured by TIRRC in their “Faces of New American Voters” campaign.

Two years later, Kokoye was busy tweeting out her rejection of our country and its values:

Putting her words into action, Kokoye worked to subvert our rules that help ensure the integrity of the voting process. While registering voters at a Nashville mosque, she advised voter registrants that they could misrepresent registration information to better fit her (and their) anti-Israel political agenda.

Honing her hatred of all things Jew and Israel, she led a pro-HAMAS rally outside the Tennessee capitol building and teamed up with virulent Jew hater Linda Sarsour who subsequently became a featured speaker for AMAC events.

And never once, did AMAC’s leader Zulfat Suara have her outspoken board member Drost Kokoye tone down her anti-Jew rhetoric.

Kokoye is also a vocal supporter of the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) movement, which has been outed for the Jew-hatred it tries to conceal using alleged concern for Arab humanitarian rights.

Zulfat’s political idols Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have introduced a pro-BDS resolution Congress. Omar has falsely equated the BDS movement with the boycotts of Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, a comparison in keeping with her slew of Jew-hating anti-Semitic remarks.

Often referred to as “Little Kurdistan,” in 2004, Nashville was selected as one of five U.S. sites where Iraqis living in the U.S. as U.S. citizens, could vote in Iraq’s elections. Needless to say, Kokoye rushed to quench her allegiance to her native country.

As far as we’re concerned, Kokoye is welcome to return to her native country and take her hatred for America and our ally Israel, with her. We promise not to write.

Samar Ali Working For Metro Council Candidate Who Publicly Embraces Anti-Semites

Straight lines and connections coming at us in every direction!

It starts with Gov-elect Bill Lee’s second meeting with the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) just days before his inauguration.

The photo from that meeting included Samar Ali which was noted to be a little strange since she has not been known to publicly affiliate with the AMAC hijab wearing crowd. It’s true that even though Samar was born in the U.S. and raised in Waverly, Tennessee, she desperately clings to a Middle Eastern identity.

When Samar was an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt, Ali co-founded the Middle Eastern Students Association 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.”

While Ali identifies herself and her family as Arabs and Muslim, she reserves the American identity part for herself. Her mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria and her father is a Palestinian from Ramallah, the city where Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) established his headquarters.

From its founding, the PLO was committed to the destruction of the State of Israel and only decided to follow a political course when acts of terrorism against civilians didn’t achieve the desired outcome.

Ali’s father, Subhi Ali appears to have brought his Jew-hatred with him when he came to the U.S.

Not much is known about Subhi Ali’s political activities prior to him joining the leadership of the Jerusalem Fund, an organization headquartered in D.C., that pushes an aggressive anti-Israel agenda. Subhi Ali joined the Jerusalem Fund in 2000, became Vice-President in 2004 serving alongside its founder, Hisham Sharabi.

After Sharabi died, Subhi Ali became President of the Board in 2005, a position he still retains.

Sharabi was a supporter of “radical Palestinian terror groups,” and advocated a Palestinian “armed struggle” if necessary, to end “Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.” He described HAMAS as “the true fida’i (self-sacrifice) resistance in Palestine since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada.

In 1997, the U.S. State Department designated HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization.

Sharabi was also a board member of WISE (World and Islam Studies Enterprise) which was incorporated and led by Sami al-Arian who was sent to prison in 2006, and deported 9 years later because of his leadership of the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

WISE was funded by the Muslim Brotherhood’s IIIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought). Tarik Hamdi, identified as an officer/staff member of WISE, is listed in a federal affidavit as providing material support to Al-Qaeda, Bin Laden and the PIJ. He left WISE to work for IIIT.

WISE served as the U.S. money-receiving front for PIJ and while Sharabi was a board member, funneled payments to the PIJ martyrs through the Islamic International Arab Bank (Arab Bank).

Later on, Samar Ali was an intern in Amman, Jordan, for the Arab Bank during the time that a lawsuit had been filed against the bank alleging that the bank was managing the funding of payments to the families of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) martyrs.

As early as 2003, the Jerusalem Fund was labeling Israel an apartheid state guilty of ethnic cleansing (of Palestinians) – just one of the many lies told by political propagandists seeking to delegitimize and target the Jewish homeland.

The Jeruslaem Fund’s former Executive Director Yousef Munayyer was explicit in his anti-Israel pro-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) advocacy. When asked by Sean Hannity, Munayyer did not answer the question, “Is HAMAS a terrorist organization?”

Munayyer left the Jerusalem Fund in 2014, to direct 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.

Under Subhi Ali’s leadership, the Jerusalem Fund has intensified it’s anti-Israel attacks with help from Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

The most important thing to understand about BDS is that it is being used to make anti-Semitism once again acceptable in civil society.

Today’s BDS is fueled by anti-Semitic rhetoric from agitators who openly attack Zionism, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel. BDS’ers deceptively embed their purported objectives in language about social justice and human rights, but at the same time, call for a genocide of the Jewish people. Rallying around their mantra “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea” BDS’ers want no Israel or Jews to exist between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Ocean.

Jew-haters like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib proudly push BDS. They are the Jew-haters publicly and personally embraced by the TN American Muslim Advisory Council and its chairman, Zulfat Suara, here, here, here and here.

Samar is picking up the threads of her father’s anti-Jew agenda by helping anti-Semite embracer Zulfat Suara, get elected to the Metro Nashville City Council.

Samar Ali working for Zulfat

At least one Tennessee conservative thinks Samar Ali is a “superstar.”

The Jew Haters Lee Supporters Say He Had to Meet With – Part 3

Tennessee’s American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), Zulfat Suara who attended the second meeting with Bill Lee, is pictured standing to his left.

She is also pictured here standing to the left of renowned anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.

Sarsour so admires Zulfat that when she created the “MPower Change” list of Muslim social justice warriors, Sarsour included Zulfat. Predictably, Zulfat’s list-mates included others with solid anti-Semite credentials including the founder of “Dream Defenders” whose is an admirer of the PLO, an organization known for violence targeting Israeli civilians.

The list also includes California CAIR director Zahra Billoo who has aligned herself and her Jew-hatred with Sarsour, earning them the title, Sisters in Hate.

Hatem Bazian is also admired by Sarsour and included in the list of 100. Bazian is the leader of the most organized national movement founded on and fueled by hatred of all things Israel and Jewish. He co-founded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the college campus anti-Jew group. Often referred to as “HAMAS on campus” SJP is responsible for annual anti-Israel activities, intimidation activities against Jewish and pro-Israel students, and pushing Israel boycott resolutions.

Bazian also founded and chairs the national board of the extreme anti-Israel organization American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) which helps train and support SJP activists like Tennessee American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) board member and anti-Semite, Drost Kokoye.

You can read more about Kokoye in Part 1 of this series.

Bazian’s AMP organization is a member of the larger anti-Jew coalition called the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), run by the former leader of Samar Ali father’s D.C. organization. Tablet Magazine has exposed a troubling money relationship between USCPR and U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Last year ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) presented Zulfat with the Muslim Policy Advocate of the Year award. ISNA, like its fellow travelers, promotes BDS against Israel. Speaking at AMP conferences, ISNA’s vice-president Safaa Zarzour says all Muslim organizations should unite behind BDS.

Sounds just like the maze deliberately created by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Holy Land Foundation prosecuted for funneling money to HAMAS.

Bazian lectures at Zaid Shakir’s Zaytuna College, an institution devoted to shaping young Islamists. Shakir, also on the MPower 100 list, professes to the same end goal of the Muslim Brotherhood – to see the “day in which America is a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law,” He came to Tennessee in 2013, to remind young Islamists like Kokoye sitting at his knee of the supremacy of Islam when he tells them that “if Islam is the basis, the kafir [non-believer] won’t be equal with the Muslim. The Christian or the Jew will be a dhimmi [second-class citizen]. They won’t be equal with the Muslim.”

Zulfat Suara’s admiration and connection to Jew-haters like Sarsour doesn’t stop there.

Apparently she personally met Muslim members of Congress Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom openly support the Boycott, Sanctions & Divestment (BDS) campaign against Israel. Explained extensively in Part 1, the popular pro-BDS genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” means no Israel or Jews to exist between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Ocean.

During her campaign for Congress, Ilhan Omar when asked whether she supported BDS, told the audience at the synagogue that she “didn’t think it was effective.” However, after being elected she came out in full support of BDS. In some circles that is called lying.

Zulfat has been so inspired by these newly elected Jew-haters, that after completing a training program for Democrat women candidates, that during her speech at the 2019 Nashville Women’s March, she announced her own candidacy for an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville City Council.

The Nashville Women’s March is a named affiliate of The Women’s March co-founded by Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory. In fact, it was Sarsour who instigated bringing BDS to The Women’s March. Granted, it wasn’t too difficult given that she and her co-leader Mallory are supporters of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who has praised Hitler and described Jews as “satanic.”

No doubt Zulfat is counting on getting elected using the ruling Democrat doctrine of identity politics. After all, that is what the “My Muslim Vote” campaign is all about.

She has spent plenty of time scoping out the Metro Council and making friends with its members, throwing the AMAC’s support behind the anti-police citizenship oversight board.

Zulfat recently moved from Bolivar to a new address at a Davidson County apartment while she waits for her $650,000 house to be built. For 16 years her husband was the Medical Director of the Hardeman County Community Health Center but is now listed as the Chief Clinical Officer for Neighborhood Health.

Zulfat, who came to Nashville in 1993, from Nigeria, loves to talk about how Muslim women in the U.S, are “oppressed” and that all women who supported Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court belong in hell. Too bad she can’t work up that much passion to help her fellow women being genitally mutilated in her native Nigeria, the country ranked third highest globally for mutilating women.

Bill Lee justifies his meeting with AMAC because he says he represents all Tennesseans. Having already met with AMAC twice, maybe Lee should consider setting aside time to meet with some other Tennesseans he also represents.
