'Corrupt' FBI should be 'eliminated' for statement on Texas synagogue hostage taker: Critics
FoxNews ^

Posted on 01/16/2022 1:49:20 PM PST by Brilliant

The FBI is facing backlash on social media after an official said that the Texas synagogue hostage taker’s demands were "not specifically related to the Jewish community."

"The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party," conservative talk radio show Jesse Kelly tweeted Sunday morning. "Any Republican Congress or Presidential candidate who doesn’t loudly proclaim his intention to massively reform or disband this organization should not be considered.

Kelly’s tweet came in response to the Associated Press reporting that FBI officials said "the Texas synagogue hostage taker's demands were specifically focused on issues not connected to the Jewish community."

"We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we're continuing to work to find motive," FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said at a press conference.

The hostage taker, who has been identified as British national Malik Faisal Akram, took four hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.

He allegedly demanded the release of a Pakistani woman who is imprisoned in Texas on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan.

The FBI and Justice Department previously described the woman, Aafia Siddiqui, as an "al-Qaida operative and facilitator" at a May 2004 news conference. She is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2010 on charges that she sought to shoot U.S. military members while in Afghanistan two year earlier.

She has a history of anti-Semitism, including demanding that jurors in her case be DNA tested and removed "if they have a Zionist or Israeli background."…

Agreed. Does anyone believe the Founders would have supported the creation of a federal secret police force?

Not a yuge group but there is an organization like this:
(Wikipedia profile excerpt) Not a member, not promoting it.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of gun rights in the United States and to encourage Americans to understand, uphold, and defend “all of the Bill of Rights for all Citizens.”

The group was founded by U.S. Navy veteran, former FFL dealer, and author Aaron S. Zelman in 1989. Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership recognizes the Second Amendment as protecting a pre-existing natural law right of individuals to keep and bear arms. It is based in Bellevue, Washington.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership takes the position that an armed citizenry is the population’s last line of defense against tyranny by their own government.....

His main goal was to negotiate the release of the jihadi bitch, but he also knew that getting out of there alive was unlikely, so he figured that if he had to kill infidel hostages, Jewish ones would be most preferable. Thankfully a sniper got him first.

The FBI, the lib media, and the Biden admin are trying to make it sound like his choice of hostages was random.

So much gaslighting. I’m surprised these gas bags have not blown themselves to hell.

“Probably not. The FBI is right on this.

He targeted a synagogue because he knew it would be the only place in Texas where the hostages would be Democrats who are hell-bent on outlawing guns and wouldn’t be caught dead carrying firearms themselves.”

You forgot the </s> tag, right?

The FBI response here is truly laughable. Whoever at the FBI thought this was the right thing to say needs to be fired.

No, he is reading from the playbook.

F-troop thinks it’s just as likely he would have attacked a Methodist church.

Welcome to the party, pal. Have you been sleeping for the past 5 years? It's been that way for decades, but 2016 they pretty much went public with their mission.

Told you they were corrupt! Just because they’re from Texas doesn’t mean they have any integrity. The DC swamp evil creatures tentacles spread all across our nation. They sound and act exactly like their masters the CCP.

Am I alone in remembering how Biden’s former boss, President Obama had his Administration describe another incident as “Workplace Violence”, when the perp was another member of the self-described “Religion of Peace”?

On 5 November 2009 (Also Obama’s 1st year in office), Army Major Nidal Hasan used an illegal (per regulations) FN Five-seveN (20 round magazine) inside Fort Hood’s (TX) “Soldier Readiness Processing Center” to kill 13 unarmed soldiers & civilians (note 1 victim was 8month pregnant but the fetus death was not counted) and wounding 32 before being wounded sufficiently to stop. His wounds resulted in permanent lower-body paralysis (paraplegia).

To the best of my knowledge, the Department of Defense still OFFICIALLY refers to this attack as “Workplace Violence” in spite of lawsuits and protests! In 2013, Nidal Hasan was convicted, given the death sentence, stripped of rank and dishonorably discharged from the US Army. At this time, 12+ years after the act, Nidal Hasan (51) sits on Death Row at Fort Leavenworth’s Federal (military) Prison waiting for the wheels of justice to finally finish.
