Brooklyn Eagle ^ | April 20, 2017 | Paula Katinas

Rev. Khader El-Yateem, the first Palestinian-American to run for the City Council seat representing Bay Ridge, appears to be shaking up the race for more reasons than just the historic nature of his candidacy, according to political observers, who said he is making notable efforts to differentiate himself from the rest of the Democratic field.

El-Yateem told members of the South Brooklyn Progressive Resistance at a forum the group held on April 18 that he was confident he could get Republicans to cross over and vote for him in the general election in November.

I vote you get back on a plane and go home to your terrorist political movement occupying the Gaza Strip.

He is a phony, a terrorist among the left and should be deported. Anybody who is a hyphenated American with a political party founded on genocide is not an American anything. Other than am American-Enemy.

An openly “progressive” pastor.
How is that working out for the Roman Catholics right now?
He might attract the GOPe.

My point was that he’s a declared Christian, not a muslim. I couldn’t care less what his denomination teaches or how progressive he is. He’s not my pastor and I’m not a member of his or any other denomination. The fact that he’s running as a democrat kind of defines him as a progressive.

All Jihad, all the time. Shoot on sight, save innocent lives.
As a civilian just keep your hand on your gun and don’t blink, leave the area quickly. Know the wolves are in the hen house.

Palestinian is not a country, it’s a political movement within Islam dedicated on killing all Jews as their religious text the Qu’ran requires. An Arab-American can be a Pastor, Palestinian-American will never be a Christian.

It’s a tell, like seeing a zipper down the back of a sheep.

I lived with Palestinian neighbors for a decade, I know the ropes, I lived. A Christian Arab can be from Palestine, but will never ever be a Palestinian.

I knew Pastors in Palestine personally, helped smuggle food to them and their congregations till Arafat Jihadi checkpoints got too bad.
