Bernie Sanders’ Foreign-policy Adviser Meets With PLO Official Banned by US By JNS May 29, 2019 , 10:43 am

“A ruler who listens to lies, All his ministers will be wicked.” Proverbs 29:12 (The Israel Bible™)

Hanan Ashrawi, the longtime aide to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, met on Monday with Matthew Duss, the foreign-policy adviser for the presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), according to a statement released by the Department of Public Diplomacy and Policy of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

“The two parties discussed the Trump administration’s hostile approach in the region and its destructive policies that undermine the prospects of peace and the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights to freedom,” in addition to the “Trump administration’s vindictive actions against the Palestinian people and leadership, including as reflected recently in the rejection of Dr. Ashrawi’s visa application,” according to the statement.

Ashrawi was denied a travel visa to the United States earlier this month.

“It is official! My US visa application has been rejected. No reason given,” she wrote on Twitter. “Choose any of the following: I’m over 70 & a grandmother; I’ve been an activist for Palestine since the late 1960’s; I’ve always been an ardent supporter of nonviolent resistance.”

Ashrawi told the AFP that her daughter and grandchildren live in the United States, and that she travels to America three or four times a year. She said she has never before been denied a visa.

Ashrawi, a member of the PLO executive committee and former P.A. Minister of Higher Education and Research, has been a Palestinian spokesperson for the last 30 years.

Duss has an anti-Israel background as he, along with Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir, has been accused of furthering anti-Semitic conspiracy theories during his tenure at the left-wing think-tank Center for American Progress.

He allegedly was part of CAP’s 2012 anti-Semitic incident where several staffers at the center’s ThinkProgress website, which Shakir served as editor-in-chief, were condemned for using anti-Semitic tropes of Jews dominating politics and money.

The staffers alleged “pro-Israel Jews and members of Congress of being ‘Israel firsters,’ a term implying that those who support the Jewish state have dual loyalties,” according to the Free Beacon.

The row caused the firing and departure of several ThinkProgress writers.

At the time, Duss was CAP’s Middle East director, which has been known to be a stronghold for anti-Israel propaganda.

He also faced a backlash for publicizing Nazi-era propaganda posters in 2013.

General Flynn met with the Russian Ambassador. When he didn’t remember all the relevant details, he was charged with perjury (or maybe it was obstruction - so hard to keep all these process crimes straight). When Bernie Sanders’ advisors meets with a high ranking member of the PLO, that is just good preparation.

CAP - Soros action arm. Look and see who have been its leaders over the years. Reds like Robert Borosage (IPS), traitors like Morton Halperin (CNSS, IPS), John Podesta, etc.

The whole organization is a Marxist, anti-American “Blofeld” type operation, with tentacles in every political issue in the country from electing Marxist Secretaries of State and AGs, to gun control, no border walls, probably getting rid of the electoral college system (news broke on this the other day), decriminalization of the use of drugs of almost any kind, etc.

SOROS, not happy with being a KAPO for the Nazis during WW2, is trying his best to seize power in America, and then the world. Who do you think the film “The World Is Not Enough” was based on?

And Soros’s son Max is just as evil. He perpetrated the news hoax about the terrible mass killings at the Jewish synagogue in Pittsburg when he accused Trump of fomenting the killer into action. He used his front group, Bend of the Arc to attack the President.

Fortunately the synagogue’s rabbi didn’t fall for this Marxist shit and welcomed the President for his concern for all the victims.

If EVIL is ever to be defined by a man of the late 1900s/early 2000s, it is George Soro, betraying of his fellow Jews in Hungary and enemy of freedom, including in Israel, around the world.

As Jew I curse his soulless insanity to Hell on behalf of those he robbed during WW2 in service to his Nazi masters.

To be expected. His foreign policy advisor, Matthew Duss, hates Israel with a passion. It's a family thing for him.
