Politicos, media ignore Mubaraks extreme bigotry against Jews and Israel.
The pendant on the chain that Orlando, Florida Muslim activist Rasha Mubarak wears around her neck is of the map of the state of Israel. She wears it during photo ops. It is evident in authorized cartoons of herself. It is a vile gesture, as Mubarak considers Israel to be an illegal entity that is actually called Palestine, the former designation of a larger territory that existed prior to Israels independence in 1948. The pendant and Mubaraks bigoted declarations regarding the Jewish state have been completely ignored by leftist politicians and their media cohorts, who embrace Mubarak as a legitimate colleague. It is time for them to recognize Mubaraks activism as nothing short of flagrant anti-Semitism and sever their ties with her.
There have been numerous examples of politicians and media allowing themselves and their images to be used alongside that of Mubarak. In the latest example, last month, a virtual meeting was held on Zoom, featuring Mubarak, Democrat Florida State Representative Dotie Joseph, Democrat Candidate for US Congress Jen Perelman, and Law Professor Nadia B. Ahmad. The organization sponsoring the event was Our Revolution, a group working to elect Progressive Democrats and pushing Socialist-minded issues for America.
Previous to this meeting: Mubarak had multiple appearances on Central Floridas Channel 13 SPECTRUM NEWS to do political analysis; Mubarak was appointed by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer to his Committee on Multicultural Affairs, which she still sits on today; and Mubarak was named National Committeewoman for the Florida Young Democrats (FYD), and she continues to hold the title.
Given Mubaraks lengthy history of targeting the Jewish community with hate and terror, this acceptance of her is extremely troubling and dangerous.
Mubarak is offended at the very notion that Israel has a right to self-defense. In May 2019, when Hamas launched more than 600 rockets into Israel, leading to the deaths of four civilians, Mubarak tweeted against anyone who would dare defend Israeli retaliation. They included former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, and the producer of The Ellen Show, Andy Lassner. In February 2013, Mubarak flippantly posted on Facebook that US diplomats mouth the words right to defend itself, regarding Israel, when they snore. And in November 2012, she tweeted, #LiesImTiredOfHearing Israel has the right to defend herself.
Mubarak has exhibited her own support for Hamas. At the end of the 2014 Israel-Gaza Conflict, along with photos of a jubilant Hamas, who had bizarrely just declared victory, Mubarak tweeted, Thousands of people celebrating in the streets of Gaza for the victory. Alhamdulillah. #VictoryForGaza. After continued Hamas rocket attacks against Israel, in November 2012, she tweeted, Dont worry ya Gaza, were working hard for you in Florida, emphatically adding, Yes we are! Mubarak has, as well, promoted material from Hamas-related media, and she has personally been affiliated with the Hamas-linked groups CAIR and Islamic Relief.
And it has not just been about vilifying Israel. In September 2013, Mubarak ridiculed Jews, themselves, after a report came out claiming Orthodox Jews had asked the Israeli government for beard-friendly gas masks. The call for new masks was over legitimate concern that Syria might retaliate against Israel following a US military intervention of Syria and that normal masks do not accommodate a lot of facial hair. The US military has dealt with this same issue with its own bearded troops. About the report, which featured the side profile of an observant Jew with a long beard and side curls, Mubarak mockingly wrote, Seriously? No seriously! Ufff Lol
Mubarak has organized anti-Israel events that have devolved into the worst of anti-Semitism, where Jews, themselves, have been labeled terrorists and baby killers. She has gotten the Democratic Party to co-sponsor these hate fests. She even convinced then-FYD President Jake Sanders to co-host a live-streamed video discussion about BDS. An uncomfortable moment occurred, when Sanders declared both he and Mubarak believe in a two-state solution; she quickly corrected him saying she does not. Sanders let it go, never once realizing his name, position and Jewish ethnic background were being used the entire time to criticize Israel.
When will Democrats, like Dotie Joseph, Jen Perelman, who is Jewish herself, Buddy Dyer and Jake Sanders and television outlets like Channel 13 SPECTRUM NEWS understand that they have become useful idiots to Mubaraks bigoted anti-Semitic cause?
Rasha Mubarak is using the Democratic Party and its cohorts in the media, in order to cultivate and promote an agenda of insidious hate. It is time for the Democratic Party members and leadership to stand up to Mubarak and tell her that she is no longer wanted or accepted anywhere within the ranks of the Democratic Party. And it is time for those in the local media to stop considering Mubarak a legitimate voice for issues concerning the community.
Legitimizing Mubarak is legitimizing anti-Semitism, period.

Not happening. A significant number of Democrats, including elected officials, agree with Rasha.
Im sure accommodating facial hair is a big issue in the US military.
Here is a picture of the 2020 democrats....
Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west. He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could.
Obama was both a marxist and a muslim...a man who admired the UN as they personify the duality and then some.
Simply put, they are the death to America crowd.
Obama himself made anti-Zionism, the cloak of many anti-Semites, to be an acceptable tenet to be held by Democrats in good standing. This is especially true of non white Democrats who comprise a near majority of Democrats. Mubarack’s standing within the Democratic Party is solid. She will only advance. White Democrats will never challenge her because they know they will lose.
Anti-Semitism is a massive constituency of the Demonrat Party. They can no more get rid of that than they can get rid of the infanticide wing or the race-baiting wing.
The best way to do that is for all Jews to abandon the Anti-Semitic Democrat Party and give their full support to President Trump.
(BTW: Note tagline)
Being an Anti-Semite actually *enhances* your standing in so-called “progressive” circles these days.
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is on their required reading list these days, and pretty much has been since about ten minutes after the towers came down, and they were already whispering on campus that it was a “Zionist Plot”
(I was in last year of Undergrad at the time, so I saw and heard all the BS first-hand.)
Good luck with that. Try renaming all those Robert Byrd highways and buildings, too, while you’re at it.
Antisemitism is a resume enhancement for a RAT candidate!
If the Democratic bigwigs in Washington are silent about unquestionable antisemites in their midst (e.g, congresscritters Talib and Omar), how can the author expect the relatively low-ranking Democrats he mentions to have the guts to put down the likes of Ms. Mubarak?
It won't happen, the Demagogic Party A) is the party of Islamofascism, and B) doesn't want to mess up their chances in Florida, and in muzzie-heavy states like Minnesota.
Like they all bravely stood up to Senator Sheets? Yeah, right. Politics is the sheep leading the sheep. They don’t know what to do with the wolves in the flock. So they ignore them and pretend they’re just very aggressive sheep.
