SCOOP: RASHIDA TLAIB HOSTS ANOTHER EXTREME ANTI-ISRAEL, TERROR-AFFILIATED ACTIVIST ON CAPITOL HILL

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib met with members of the anti-Israel organization American Muslims for Palestine during an advocacy event they hosted on Capitol Hill.

Tlaib was photographed after sitting down with Joe Catron, an extreme anti-Israel activist and outspoken terrorist supporter.

Tlaib’s time in congressional office has been embroiled in allegations of anti-Semitism.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib met with another extreme anti-Israel activist and terrorist-supporter in her Capitol Hill congressional office during American Muslims for Palestine Advocacy Day in mid-April.

American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) hosted the annual advocacy and training event, which was open to all adults who “seek justice in Palestine.” Additional criteria for participation includes supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to punish Israel by economically depriving the country for its alleged mistreatment of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

One reason this PFLP front group Samidoun and the PPSF exist and can operate here is due to the fact that the Left (esp. Communist Party USA/National Lawyers Guild, its offshoot the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the ACLU) united to support a group of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine supporters in LA (case known as the “ LA 8”) who were selling PFLP newspapers, propaganda etc and reportedly sending the money to them overseas.

This would normally be an act of supporting a designated terrorist organization but the red legal groups above, AIDED by key liberals, managed to get the case thrown out of court and the key sections of the Immigration & Naturalization Act (Walter-McCarren (internal security) Act) declared unconstitutional.

The stupid-assed judge said that these 8 were not giving physical support to the PFLP, only what would be called “advocacy” (my term) support despite selling their papers and raising funds for the PFLP which has killed both Americans and Israelis, as well as other nationals in the past.

Among those key US congressional supporters were Rep. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt), Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md), Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D-NY or Mass - under the guise of the Helsinki Agreements), and possibly Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass).

Sanders sent out a crapload of newreleases/statements on this, Hoyer got a great editorial write up in the Baltimore Sun, and the Left praised these people as champions of free speech rather than as fools in the service of terrorism.

I have a couple dogs in this game. My late editor’s oldest son Mark (IDF) was killed in action against Hezbollah on the Syrian border while his younger brother narrowly missed a JPA (Japanese Red Army?, PFLP?, PLO? or combined operation) bombing of an airport in Europe.

I interviewed a very young Israeli girl whose Volkswagen was firebombed in Israel, losing her mother and younger brother (her father survived serious injuries, just like those she suffered trapped in that tiny blazing inferno).

Tlaib is a terrorist, period. She should be tried and convicted as a terrorism supporter and jailed for 10 years, with Omar’s trial coming shortly after her’s.

Time to get serious about fighting terrorism here at home, and there are more sleepers here than you can imagine.

On October 22, 2018, Samidoun participated in a Gaza demonstration organized by the PFLP in solidarity with “imprisoned Arab Communist revolutionary and struggler for Palestine Georges Ibrahim Abdallah.” During the demonstration Samidoun’s flag hung next to the PFLP flag. Abdallah was convicted and sentenced by a French court to life in prison for “’complicity in the assassinations” of Charles R. Ray in 1982, a US military attaché serving in Paris, and Yacov Bar-Simantov, a second counsellor at the Israeli embassy in Paris. . .Many of Samidoun’s activists are also members and leaders of pro-BDS organizations in the United States. . .Samidoun also organizes and sponsors events with other pro-BDS groups including American Muslims for Palestine, Students for Justice in Palestine, Al-Awda, and CAIR. On June 19, 2018, Kates, along with co-founder of CODEPINK Medea Benjamin, Canadian BDS Coalition, Toronto BDS Action, and others, called for the leader of the Social Democratic political party in Canada and other MPs to immediately “disassociate themselves” from the Canada-Israel Interparliamentary Group, as “Israel has been as unjust towards Palestinians as the white-ruled apartheid state was to Black South Africans.”: Samidoun Ties to PFLP

From the CCR's website: Judge Einhorn terminated deportation proceedings because the government refused to comply with his June 2005 pre-trial order to disclose exculpatory evidence regarding Hamide and Shehadeh's alleged support for the PFLP. The government failed to timely comply with the order prior to the trial, turning over only a limited set of materials over nine months after the deadline. Judge Einhorn concluded that the government's response was grossly inadequate and flew in the face of the authority of the court. . . .San Francisco attorney Marc Van Der Hout of the law firm of Van Der Hout, Brigagliano & Nightingale, who has been representing the LA8 on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild since the case began in 1987 . . .David Cole, of Georgetown Law School who has been, along with Van Der Hout, co-lead counsel for the LA8, on behalf of the Center for Constitutional Rights, since the case began. . .Ahilan T.
