Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams sits on the board of a foundation that funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to an anti-Israel activist who has praised terrorists and encouraged violence against Jews.
Abrams joined the Marguerite Casey Foundation board in May 2021, business filings show. Roughly six months later, the foundation announced its 2021 cohort of "Freedom Scholars," a group of "leading thinkers and scholars … in critical fields including abolitionist, Black, feminist, queer, radical, and anti-colonialist studies." Included in the group was UCLA professor Robin D.G. Kelley, a leading Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) activist who works with groups that collaborate with Palestinian terrorists.
Kelley, who received $250,000 through the program, praised the Palestine Liberation Organization—a U.S.-designated terror group—as "revolutionary combatants" and "models for those of us dedicated to Black liberation and socialism" in a 2016 article. Three years prior, Kelley encouraged Palestinians to use violence against Israelis, calling the notion that Palestinians should only protest non-violently a "bludgeon to beat down Palestinian organizations." Kelley also advises the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, a group that operates to advance the BDS movement on college campuses. The campaign's fiscal sponsor, Al-Awda, works with Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas to grow BDS and routinely hosts convicted Islamic jihadists at its events, the Jerusalem Post reported in 2019.

And she’ll still get the Jewish vote from Toco Hills and Emory area. Without fail and On Command.
Big deal, she’ll still get the Jewish vote in GA.
HUH? The sitting gov of Georgia did bad things?
When she sits on a board...is their room for anyone else...?
How do we get stuck with such evil
Filth in America
Yes, and that is what makes her a rising political star with democrats. A rising star in the democrat party is determined by just how corrupt the politician is, not ability.
The majority of Jewish people will still vote for her.
Her strange bedfellow business partner who shares her as a co-author alongside another in the title of her new book also sits on the board of directors of a small company with vetted
Jewish associations.
Looking back this company did have at one time a dual citizen veteran former service member employed there.
Does have a nice photo with former President Peres, also.
Similar associations with what was once called The Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce, appeared at the state capital too.
Ping.
The democrats hate Jews.
What did you expect from a psychopath - love and knishes?
They hate themselves hence …
Evillene.
Not from Sandy Springs, I trust.
The home of Lucy MvBath……sadly, Sandy Springs is in the FlipThe 6th district and all the Democrats that have and are flooding this, once great state sure did flip the district.
How sad. I remember it as a very different place.
Yup….. that’s what happens when you have governors alike Kemp and greedy county commissioners
Happening all over the state unfortunately
Evillene will steal the election, and proclaim it a glorious day, that white supremacists no longer control Georgia, etc. I’ll have to “move” my absentee ballot casting elsewhere.
