Progressive Activists Lionize Ilhan Omar and Impede House Anti-Semitism Measure

By Shane Trejo

Congress is getting ready to consider a resolution against anti-Semitism in the wake of repeated problematic comments that Muslim US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has made about the state of Israel, but Democratic House leaders have a serious problem: their activist base has lost its marbles.

Omar is gaining steam because left-wing lawmakers and other radicalized ‘Never Trump’ liberals are using her as a rallying point. She is a woman, a minority, dark skinned, and represents a foreign alien culture so thus criticism of anything she says is off limits, as modern Democratic dogma dictates.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) questioned the necessity of the resolution with some of her trademark asinine blather that revolved around the usual victim narrative:

Right now, Congressional Democrats are preparing to fold as Omar’s support calcifies within the leftist faithful.

“We’re still discussing it,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said of the resolution’s progress on Tuesday. “The sentiment is that it ought to be broad-based. What we’re against is hate, prejudice, bigotry, white supremacy, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism.”

“Yes, we’re strongly against anti-Semitism, but we’re strongly against prejudice directed at any group,” he added.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) maintains that Omar will receive no repercussions regarding her seat on his committee despite her frequent anti-Semitic comments.

“I don’t think the Foreign Affairs Committee should be used as punishment for anybody,” Engel said. “But I do think [Omar] needs to understand what she said is very hurtful. Whether she is on the committee or not is not the issue.”

Meanwhile, a Twitter campaign is building of progressives who are using the hashtag “#IStandWithIlhan” to stand in solidarity with the woman who has made repeated insensitive and incendiary comments toward Jewish people.

Meanwhile, racial grievance lobbyists affiliated with notoriously anti-Semitic leftistLinda Sarsour are circulating a letter addressed to Speaker Pelosi urging her to “reject the vicious and racially-motivated bad-faith smears” against Omar and her Islamic counterpart in Congress, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

“As a Black Muslim woman, Representative Omar is uniquely and personally threatened by the exceptional atmosphere of unfair scrutiny of her right to engage in legitimate political debate. With the current rise of white nationalism and xenophobia, bigotry certainly includes but also certainly extends well beyond antisemitism, and the Democratic leadership would be dangerously tone-deaf not to mention the horrific significant rise in violence, hate crimes, and death threats against all communities of color,” the letter reads.

“Since she has taken office, Representative Omar has consistently been one of the most progressive voices in Congress. We are grateful to her for her consistent and principled stance in support of economic justice, racial justice, immigration justice, environmental justice, justice for the oppressed including Palestinians, and an end to war. The Democratic leadership should celebrate and support her instead of abandoning and condemning her,” the letter continues.

The letter was signed onto by Sarsour as well as representatives from groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, Black Lives Matter Global Network, Working Families Party, Democracy for America, Women’s March, American Friends Service Committee, Million Hoodies Movement for Justice, and other allied groups pushing for the leftist take-down of America.

As much as Pelosi and other more corporatist Democrats would like to deny it, voices like Omar’s are firmly within the mainstream of today’s deranged Left. Voters must be made aware of what is happening to the Democrats so they can reject this extremist threat in 2020 and beyond.

(ANOTHER HOOD RAT IN ACTION) – Los Angeles Honors Black Lives Matter Youth Vanguard Leader In Recognition Of Black History Month

15-year-old sophomore seeks to abolish police in public schools.

By Jeffrey Cawood

In recognition of Black History Month, the Los Angeles City Council recently paid tribute to Thandiwe Abdullah – a local student-activist who was named among Time Magazine’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2018.

Abdullah, a 15-year-old sophomore in high school, co-founded the Black Lives Matter Youth Vanguard. The advocacy group – made up of children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 — started organizing students, parents, and faculty against the “over-policing” of L.A.’s public schools in 2016. The district is the second-largest in the nation with an enrollment of more than 600,000.

Thandiwe follows in the footsteps of her mother, Dr. Melina Abdullah, who is a founding member of the Black Lives Matter activist network and has led its L.A. chapter since its inception. The elder Abdullah has felt comfortable exposing her daughter to the glare of media for several years while Thandiwe has blossomed into a nationally-known fighter for progressive change.

“I have the honor and the privilege to present to you a young lady that is recognized as one of the 25 most influential young people in this country…out of 42 million children,” said L.A. Council President Herb J. Wesson during a presentation at City Hall on Wednesday.

Wesson went on to commend Thandiwe’s activism and work with the Youth Vanguard, whose members were featured speakers at a March For Our Lives gun control rally last year and currently lead a drive to abolish police in local schools incrementally.

Black Lives Matter is allied with the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) labor union, which went on strike for six days last month. According to Black Lives Matter, at least two of its members are also high-ranking UTLA leaders. The two organizations often work toward common goals to transform the institution of public education.

“We were campaigning with a lot of the teachers to get random searches out of our schools because we found out that they were criminalizing a lot of black youth,” Thandiwe said at the ceremony in her honor. “We actually won that with our last strike when a lot of students stood with the teachers, and we’re so thankful to them for doing that for us.”

Screen Shot 2019-02-26 at 10.39.33 AM

The Los Angeles Times reported that the district “agreed to expand to 28 the number of schools that will no longer conduct random searches of middle and high school students,” adding, “that provision was especially important to students who marched in support of their teachers.”

At Wednesday’s presentation, the younger Abdullah also spoke about “an attack on black bodies and black people.” She stressed the concept of intersectionality, a theory that claims systems of oppression overlap, institutionally dehumanizing groups that identify as marginalized.

“It’s really important…to give way to the people who are most vulnerable: that’s black youth, especially queer black youth; black Muslim youth, which includes me; and black trans youth.”

She has also promoted that intersectional philosophy when advocating on behalf of “the Muslim women and femmes in Palestine,” whom Thandiwe says are victims of a “global war on terror” advanced by the United States and Israel. She made those comments before an estimated crowd of 500,000 people at L.A.’s edition of the Women’s March in 2018.

Thandiwe descends from a long line of progressive organizers. Her bloodline includes a grandfather who was an active participant in the Occupy movement and a grandmother who used to volunteer at a breakfast program run by the Black Panther Party. As The Daily Wire exclusively reported in 2017, her great grandfather was the late Gunter Reimann – a world-renowned Marxist economist who was part of the Communist resistance to Adolf Hitler’s accession to power in Germany. After Nazi officials raided his home in the 1930s, he fled to the United States as a political refugee.

THE RASHIDA TLAIB’S LOUIS FARRAKHAN CONNECTION

By Peter Hasson

  • Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib wrote a column for Nation of Islam publication Final Call in 2006.

  • Final Call was founded by Louis Farrakhan and is “the official communications organ of the Nation of Islam.”

  • Farrakhan is a notorious anti-Semite who has described Jews as “satanic” and praised Hitler as a “very great man.”

  • Tlaib has already faced scrutiny over other ties to anti-Semitism.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib in 2006 wrote an op-ed column for Final Call, a Nation of Islam publication founded by Louis Farrakhan, in the latest tie to emerge between the congresswoman and anti-Semitic figures.

Tlaib authored the column in 2006, while working as the advocacy coordinator for the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS), two years before she first won election to the state legislature. Tlaib was described as a “guest columnist” in the article, which argued against deporting immigrants found guilty of “minor offenses.”

Final Call describes itself as “the official communications organ of the Nation of Islam” and was founded by the group’s leader, Farrakhan, according to Final Call’s website.

Farrakhan’s history of unapologetic anti-Semitism including describing Jews as “satanic” and praising Hitler as a “very great man,” was well established by 2006.

CAP

Final Call has published a steady stream of articles defending Farrakhan from charges of anti-Semitism.

An October 2018 Final Call article quoted Farrakhan’s social media director, Jesse Muhammad, saying the backlash was proof that Farrakhan “must have sprayed some form of termite repellant that stirred up those that have practiced and continue to practice Talmudic ways by eating at the foundation and the carcass of a dead people chosen by God.”

Tlaib’s office did not immediately return a request for comment. Conservative writer Jeryl Bier on Monday first noted Tlaib’s Final Call oped.

CAP

Tlaib has already come under fire for her ties to other anti-Israel radicals, as well as her support for the anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction (BDS) movement, which has often overlapped with anti-Semitic causes.

A key fundraiser for Tlaib’s 2018 congressional campaign, Abdel-qader Maher, repeatedly promoted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on Facebook, both on his own page and within a Facebook group that includes Tlaib.

Abdel-qader took credit on Facebook for organizing fundraisers for Tlaib among Arab-Americans, pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars for her campaign. Photos he’s posted on social media show him speaking at Tlaib campaign events.

Tlaib also came under fire after posing for a picture with Palestinian activist Abbas Hamideh, a supporter of Hezbollah who believes Israel shouldn’t exist, at her swearing-in ceremony.

Tlaib claimed she didn’t know him, though she had previously posted a picture with him on Facebook.  (RELATED: Maxine Waters Attended Nation of Islam Convention Where Farrakhan Defended Suicide Bombers)

Women’s March co-chair Linda Sarsour was an early supporter of Tlaib, who has continued to support Sarsour’s organization, despite its own anti-Semitism issues. Sarsour and another co-chair, Tamika Mallory, have faced scrutiny over their support of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

Sarsour was unapologetic about the Farrakhan controversy less than two weeks ago, in a taped podcast with left-wing media outlet Democracy Now.

Sarsour lashed out at critics of her support for Farrakhan, and called for “accountability” within “our communities” because “we made Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour and Minister Farrakhan literally the whole story instead of focusing on the real threats to our communities, which is white nationalism.”

Sarsour then suggested that Jewish people had mishandled the controversy, and urged them to have “hard conversations” in order to avoid “imposing [their] trauma” on others:

So, what I’m, we have been asked and demanded of many things. And we have came out and said we understand and we hear the pain. And I understand. I’ve been working with Jews for over 20 years. I understand historical trauma. And a lot of this comes from historical, the reasons why people backlash is because they respond from a place of trauma. Black people have historical trauma. Lots of people have historical trauma. But we have to sometimes go back to our communities and say, “Let’s heal. Let’s find ways to deal with this trauma so that we’re not imposing our trauma on others who are also traumatized, and focusing on the people that are causing the trauma to our communities.”

NATION OF ISLAM TO HOST ANNUAL SAVIOUR’S DAY CELEBRATION AT CHICAGO BULLS, BLACKHAWKS STADIUM

By Mike Brest | Reporter

Capture

The Nation of Islam, an African-American religious movement, will be holding their annual Saviours’ Day event at the United Center in Chicago later this month, the same location where the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks play.

“Saviours’ Day is an annual Nation of Islam commemoration of the birth of Master Fard Muhammad, the Great Madhi of the Muslims and the Messiah of the Christians, who appeared in North America on July 4, 1930, and declared that the 400 years of bondage Blacks served in America had ended,” the event description reads. “This year’s convention is February 15 – 17 in Chicago, Illinois. Minister Louis Farrakhan will deliver the Saviours’ Day 2019 Address on February 17th at The United Center.”

CAP

The Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has an extensive history of making anti-Semitic comments. Last October, Farrakhan compared Jewish people to termites. He’s also referred to Adolf Hitler as “a very great man,”and blamed Jewish people for 9/11 and the Holocaust. (RELATED: Twitter Rules Louis Farrakhan Comparing Jewish People To Termites Doesn’t Violate Guidelines)

Sarah N. Stern, the founder and president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, told The Daily Caller:

I am incredibly saddened to see that within just one or two generations after the Holocaust, anti-Semitism has become so mainstream and so acceptable that people do not hesitate to open up their  forums and stadiums to the like of Louis Farrakhan, a known anti-Semite, who has uses his Sunday sermons to preach classic anti-Semitic vitriol about Jews controlling all the wealth and all of the power in the United States, and blaming the Jews for virtually everything evil in the world.

“Our people have had to learn through our long and painful history that words matter. No one is born determined to commit heinous acts of hatred or genocide against another group,” she continued. “What was, just a few years ago, beyond the pale of acceptable speech has become fashionable within certain circles, and in just a few short years, the lessons of the Holocaust have been totally forgotten or ignored. I cry for the 6 million who died without the world even having learned this simple lesson.” (RELATED: Democratic National Committee Ends Partnership With Women’s March Over Leadership’s Farrakhan Connections)

ILHAN OMAR GAVE INTERVIEWS TO HOST WHO CALLED ISRAEL ‘JEWISH ISIS’ AND COMPARED HAMAS TO HOLOCAUST VICTIMS

By Peter Hasson

Capture

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar gave multiple interviews to a fringe Arab-American television host, Ahmed Tharwat, who calls Israel the “Jewish ISIS” and has compared the terrorist group Hamas to Holocaust victims.

Omar blamed “our involvement in other people’s affairs” for terrorism in a 2013 interview with Tharwat.

“When are we gonna decide or realize that terrorism is a reaction? It’s an ideology, it’s a means of things, it’s not an entity, it’s not a place, people. It’s a reaction to a situation,” Tharwat said in the interview, which Fox News uncovered Monday.

“Yes. What you’re insinuating is what nobody wants to face,” Omar replied. “Nobody wants to face how the actions of the other people that are involved in the world have contributed to the rise of the radicalization and the rise of terrorist acts.”

“Usually most people want to not look internal [sic] and see what [are] their actions that makes another react. For us, it’s always, ‘I must have not done anything. Why is it happening to me?’ Nobody wants to take accountability of how these are byproducts of the actions of our involvement in other people’s affairs,” she added.

WATCH:

Omar’s comments came weeks after Somali terrorist group al-Shabab killed 67 people in a September 2013 attack on a Kenyan shopping mall. The terrorist organization previously targeted recruiting efforts at the large Somali-American population in Minnesota.

Omar gave another interview to Tharwat at a January 2017 Women’s March event, despite the host’s history of radical rhetoric.

Tharwat has repeatedly described the Israeli government as a terrorist organization, including referring to it as “Jewish ISIS.” (RELATED: Rashida Tlaib’s Ties To Anti-Semitism Run Deeper Than Previously Known)

“Zionism is terrorism,” Tharwat wrote in one tweet that described Israeli soldiers as the “Jewish Taliban.”

In another tweet, he wrote: “An antisemitic person these days, is not someone who hates the jew, it is someone hated by the jews.”

“Blaming Hamas for Israeli atrocities, is like blaming the Jew for the Holocaust,” Tharwat wrote in a July 2014 tweet.

After the U.S. began bombing ISIS targets in August 2014, Tharwat wrote on Twitter: “Obama should start bombing the Jewish state of Israel.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Tharwat and Omar’s office for comment.

Omar has come under fire for some of her own statements since taking office in January.

In a January interview, she said she “almost chuckle[s]” when Israel is upheld as “a democracy in the Middle East.”

“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,” she wrote in one 2012 tweet.

Omar first defended the tweet, but later apologized.

In another tweet, she ominously accused Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham of being “compromised.” She faced criticism in December 2018 after mocking Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith.

PROGRESSIVE ANTI-SEMITISM IS ON THE RISE

capture

By Alex Titus

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is back in the news after defending a 2012 tweet she wrote stating that “Israel has hypnotized the world.” In a recent CNN clip, she questioned how her comments could be construed as “offensive to Jewish Americans.”

Yes, comparing the Jewish state to some sort of manipulative global force — how could anyone possibly find that offensive?

Omar’s comment alone is striking, but what is more concerning is that her comment represents a growing strand of casual anti-Semitism in progressive politics. Activists and politicians on the far-left are continually finding themselves embroiled in controversies related to remarks on Jews and the Jewish state. Clearly, it’s time for progressives to get their house in order.

Jews are right to be concerned about the rise of anti-Semitism in America.

In 2017, incidents related to anti-Semitism increased by a whopping 57 percent in the United States according to the Anti-Defamation League. Making up only 2 percent of the population, Jews faced more physical attacks than all other religions combined in 2017. The notorious Boycott, Sanction, and Divestment (BDS) movement is gaining steam across the country.

Despite this growing problem, some progressive politicians and activists seem to have no concern espousing the historically hateful rhetoric that leads to wide-scale anti-Semitism. Omar’s 2012 tweet is a great example. As Bari Weiss noted in a recent op-ed for the New York Times, Jews “hypnotizing” the public was the very plot of Jud Süss, a popular Nazi propaganda film.

The Jew as a “manipulator” has also made its way into the public discourse after Trayon White, a Democratic Member of the D.C. City Council, stated in a Facebook video last year that Jews were responsible for controlling the weather.

“Y’all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation … And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful,” White noted in the video.

The Rothschilds frequently play boogie man in a host of other anti-Semitic conspiracies.

Anti-Zionism also makes up an important facet of this brand of progressive politician and activist. Sure enough, Omar supports the deeply flawed BDS movement meant to harm the Jewish state.

Omar’s anti-Israel views are backed by Michigan Congresswoman and progressive firebrand Rashida Tlaib. A widely circulated picture of a map in her Congressional office showed a sticky note of the word “Palestine” covering Israel’s existing borders. References to Palestine engulfing Israel are a not so subtle hint at the dissolution of the Jewish state.

Tlaib also makes no qualms paling around with Abbas Hamideh, a known pro-Hezbollahactivist. Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist organization, frequently hosts rallies where supporters chant “Death to Israel!” Choice exerts of Hamideh’s tweets include clamoring against the “criminal Zionists” and praise for Samir Kuntar, a convicted terrorist, and murderer.

Prominent left-wing grassroots activists have also had their fair share of controversy. Tamika Mallory, the President of the Women’s March, has become embroiled in scandals related to her stances on the Jewish state and who she chooses to associate with.

In a recent interview on PBS’ “Firing Line,” Mallory refused to answer whether Israel should have the right to exist. “I just don’t feel that everyone has a right to exist at the disposal of another group,” she noted during the back and forth. After being pressed, Mallory angry stated that she was “done talking” about the subject.

Mallory also refuses to disavow her association with Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan who she once dubbed “The greatest of all time.” Yes, this is the same Farrakhan who proudly compared Jews to “termites” and that “Lying, murderous Zionist Jews” were behind the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Asked to condemn Farrakhan’s blatant anti-Semitic remarks in an interview on ABC’s “The View” by Meghan McCain, Mallory refused based on the grounds that McCain’s line of questioning was “racist.”

The past few months make clear that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party has work to do. Progressives can either choose to stop associating with politicians and activists who spew hate towards Jews or continue down a dangerous path of mainlining anti-Semitism. For the Jewish people and America’s sake, we should hope they choose the former.

By Justin Caruso

Protesters among the Women’s March in Washington, DC, Saturday called for free abortions for all, President Trump’s children to be caged, and for Trump to “drop dead.”

The left-wing protesters showed support for feminism, prostitution, transgender issues, and immigration. Many demonstrators also showed serious hatred for the president.

“Make America Great Again, and Drop Dead!” one sign read.

One protester called for Trump’s children to be caged. Barron Trump is only 12 years old.

“Grab ’em by the patriarchy” one sign read.

In a video captured by Breitbart News, a woman says, “Everybody, I’m giving abortions. I give abortions to men. I give abortions to women. Everybody gets a free abortion.”

Another sign read, “Sex work is work.” A sign can also be seen that reads “Let’s RIOT.”

“Stop killing black trans women,” another sign read.

There were also several men with “Feminist Dad” signs.

One protester informed onlookers that “Pussy is God.”

“Tits over toupees,” another sign said.

One sign read, “Welcome to the Bitchdom. We’re done being quiet!”

Check out all the photos from the march:

Other photos captured by Breitbart News’ Matthew Perdie show demonstrators holding signs reading “White Old Men…Extinction Nearing!” Another woman held a sign reading “Anything you can do I can do bleeding.”

This year’s march takes place as there is controversy over the organizers’ ties to anti-Semitic preacher Louis Farrakhan.

New Orleans Women’s March CANCELED After Co-Chairs Exposed As Racists

By Laura Loomer

The New Orleans Women’s March rally has been canceled following allegations of Jew hatred and anti-white racism that have rocked the movement and several of its key members, including Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory.

A rally was scheduled for 2019, but has now been axed amid all of the controversy regarding recent reports that Women’s March organizers actively promoted anti-Jewish sentiments among the organization, particularly an odd affinity for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Due to several issues we have decided it is necessary to cancel the 2019 Women’s March in New Orleans,” the National Organization for Women’s (NOW) Baton Rouge chapter posted on social media Friday.

In their statement, NOW’s Baton Rouge Chapter emphasized their desire for Women’s March co-chairs to step down.

In October, Women’s March representative Alyssa Milano was confronted by me — investigative journalist Laura Loomer — while speaking on a panel about the #MeToo movement and Women’s March. I asked Milano to disavow Sarsour, who supports Sharia Law which encouraged Jew hatred and homophobia, two things the Women’s March claims to be against. Milano not only denied my claim despite being presented with evidence in person, but she refused to answer the question. However, nearly two weeks later, Milano disavowed Sarsour, citing Jew hatred.

While my face to face confrontations with both Sarsour and Milano led to a viral discussion about the Women’s March support of Jew hatred, in November, Tablet Magazine expanded on my work and reported Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory, two of the Women’s March’s founders, harassed a Jewish woman who was part of the Women’s March. According to the report, Mallory, who is a supporter of Farrakhan, began berating the woman with anti-Jewish slurs, and told her the Jewish people “bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people,” and “were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.”

Mallory, along with her colleague Sarsour, has openly supported and promoted Jew hatred. In a picture from Mallory’s Instagram, she said she was “super ready” for Farrakhan to give a speech at the Nation of Islam Saviours’ Day event.
Capture

Carmen Perez, another key member of the Women’s March, also posted a  since-deleted photo with Farrakhan in 2016. In the post, Perez is seen holding his hand with the caption:  “And one thing I know whether people agree with his message or not is that the Minister often speaks his truth.” In the replies to the photo, Sarsour posted, “the brother does not age. God bless him.”

In October, Farrakhan took to Twitter to call for the extermination of Jews. He tweeted, “I’m not anti-Semite, I’m anti-Termite.”

In his talks, Farrakhan has praised Hitler, and has gone as far as saying, “Hitler was a very good man.” You know, the same Hitler responsible for the murder of 6 Million Jews.

In the same Tablet article, Vanessa Wruble, one of the Women’s March founders, said she was forced out of the group because she is Jewish and not liked by Sarsour and Mallory simply because she is Jewish.

Last week, the Chicago Women’s March also canceled their event and issued a statement condemning Sarsour and Mallory’s connections to Farrakhan, who is a resident of Chicago.

 “No universe exists in which it is acceptable to support anti-Semitic statements. Women’s March Chicago condemns bigotry in all its forms. We reject Minister Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ views. Our work is to fight against social and racial injustice everywhere, no matter its source. As an additional point of clarification, and as many of you already know, Women’s March Chicago is not now and never has been affiliated with Women’s March Inc. We receive ZERO funding or organizational support from them and share NO common leadership.”

In November,Theresa Shook, the founder of the Women’s March called on Sarsour, Mallory, and Perez to step down from their roles as co-founders of the Women’s March.

Women’s March rallies in Nevada, Portland ,Chicago, and California have also been canceled.

Baton Rouge NOW said they will be refunding donations and t-shirt purchases from unhappy women who no longer wish to attend the Women’s March.

It turns out marching in pink pussy hats with Jew haters and racists isn’t a good look after all…

Women’s March Organizers Cancel California Rally Due to “Overwhelmingly White” Participants

by Cristina Laila December 29, 2018

See the source image

This is rich.

California organizers canceled the women’s march in Eureka on January 19th because too many of the participants who signed up are white.

Capture

White women need not apply.

The press release stated the organizers will take time for more outreach:

“Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community. Instead of pushing forward with crucial voices absent, the organizing team will take time for more outreach. Our goal is that planning will continue and we will be successful in creating an event that will build power and community engagement through connection between women that seek to improve the lives of all in our community.”

It’s that time of year again!

This is the third annual pussy hat march where angry gelatinous women will peel themselves off their couches just to scream at the sky and call for abortion on demand.

The Women’s March is less about empowering females and more about ‘social justice’ — it’s just another radical left-wing group masquerading as a women’s movement.

Pro-life and or Christian women need not apply — the Women’s March was led by hijab-clad, America-hating Palestinian radicals such as Linda Sarsour and Rasmea Yousef Odeh — Odeh is a convicted terrorist who was deported to Jordan after lying on her citizenship application in order to avoid jail time in the US.

The founder of the Women’s March recently called for hijab-clad Sharia law advocate Linda Sarsour and Farrakhan supporter Tamika Mallory to step down for their anti-Semitic and homophobic rants.

At the time of this publication, the Women’s March in Washington DC on January 19th is still on the schedule.

“On January 19, 2019, we’re going to flood the streets of Washington, D.C., and cities across the globe. The #WomensWave is coming, and we’re sweeping the world forward with us,” the Women’s March said on their official website.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Claims Jewish Ancestry at Hanukkah Party

By Joel B. Pollak

Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Sunday night at a Hanukkah party in New York that she has Jewish ancestry.

“A very, very long time ago, generations and generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews … During the Spanish Inquisition, so many people were forced to convert on the exterior to Catholicism, but on the interior continued to practice their faith … some of those people landed in Puerto Rico,” she told a left-wing group, Jews For Racial And Economic Justice.

During the Inquisition, Spanish Jews were expelled or forced to convert to Christianity, on pain of death. Some converted but quietly maintained their Jewish faith, often seeking refuge in the New World, where they were less likely to be exposed and punished.

The Jewish Virtual Library notes (original links):

Though officially forbidden from settling in Puerto Rico through much of its history, Jews managed to settle on the Island as secret Jews, also called marranos, conversos, or Crypto-Jews.  Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico began in the 15th century, though the community could not flourish as Judaism was prohibited by the Spanish Inquisition and the first synagogue was not established until a few hundred years later.

In recent years, many people in the former Spanish New World — including the American Southwest — have discovered that they have Jewish ancestry. Often, their families maintained Jewish customs across the centuries, such as lighting candles on Friday night, which marks the start of the Jewish Sabbath.

Ocasio-Cortez did not mention that her family had practiced such traditions, nor did she describe her family history with any degree of specificity.

Later, on Twitter, she appeared to suggest that she may simply have shared Jewish ancestry with other Puerto Ricans in general, whom she described as a mix of cultures.

Unlike Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), whose dubious claims of Native American ancestry were subject to DNA testing, Ocasio-Cortez’s Jewish claims would be difficult to prove, or to disprove, without a detailed family history.

Oddly, the “democratic socialist” from New York had never mentioned her Jewish ancestry before — at least not in public — even though it might have been politically helpful for her to do so.

(Another self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” from New York City, Julia Salazar, allegedly lied about her Jewish ancestry in running for a New York State Senate seat; she won anyway).

Ocasio-Cortez has expressed anti-Israel views, supporting protests on the Gaza border in May that were organized by the Palestinian terror group Hamas, and calling for an end to the “occupation of Palestine” without specifying what she meant.

She is also closely aligned with the “Women’s March,” which has been accused of antisemitism for its links with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
