New head of NYC racial equity commission has spewed antisemitic rhetoric

Her views on the Israel-Palestine war aren’t so equitable.

Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee for chair and executive director of the city’s Commission on Racial Equity has a history of spewing antisemitic rhetoric.

Linda Tigani, who raked in $143,938 in fiscal year 2022 as acting chief equity and strategy officer for the city Health Department, has repeatedly shared posts on X that include the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which is call by Hamas terrorists and their anti-Israel backers for the eradication of the Jewish state.

“FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA! PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!!” Tigani wrote in a July 1, 2020, post, which also included a clip from the “Day of Rage” rally in Brooklyn, where protesters reportedly chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” in Arabic in response to Israel announcing plans to annex parts of the West Bank.

Tigani shared a video of a Palestinian artist and cook, along with a variant on the antisemitic phrase again in a November 2022 post, writing “Beautiful. From the River to the Sea #PalestineWillBeFree.”

Tigani has also shared a slew of posts highlighting Israeli attacks on Palestinians earlier this year.

In May the new CORE head shared an X user’s post that featured a video purporting to show an Israeli police officer assaulting a Palestinian man.

“I despise posting this. One of the reasons I, and so many Palestinians don’t, is bc the depth of humiliation as torture is unbearable, all of us have family who’ve been through this,” the post read. “This is every single day, everywhere in Palestine.”

The whole purpose of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) political demogogary is neither “diversity”, “equity” or “inclusion”; it’s all about setting up politically determined privileges and entitlements. Once established and fully engrained all that will change is political changes in just who is privileged and entitled, but the commisars will continue to control it.

"Racial equity" == hate whitey.

And Jews are considered "extra white" for some reason.

“Racial equity.”

Translation: “Take money from Whitey, blame Whitey for your failures, hate Whitey.”

Their real meaning is “shall be Jew free”. They’ll use any means to achieve it. They are purely evil.

Old idea was equality which would mean Jewish people, black people, Asian people and others all would strive for inclusion and equal opportunities.

New is equity which means certain people are more equal than others (Orwell) and are guaranteed to get special results and rewards over others. And reparations on behalf of their ancestors.

You are right.

At one time I could locate good survey information but most has been taken out of the search engines. Ones on “improving” relations for higher educated people replace them-——but I question the hate being taught to students year by year such as the Hamas supporter professors and teaching assistants currently.

However I remember “40% of black people tend to be anti-semitic” because of remarks I heard at work from my two black woman bosses a few years ago.


From Wikipedia African American-Jewish Relations article:
In a 1998 survey, Blacks (34% of them) were nearly four times as likely as Whites (9% of them) to give answers that identified them as belonging in the most antisemitic category (those blacks who agreed with at least 6 out of 11 statements that were potentially or clearly antisemitic). Among Blacks with no college education, 43% of them responded as the most antisemitic group (vs. 18% of the general population). This percentage fell to 27% among Blacks with some college education, and 18% among Blacks with a four-year college degree (vs. 5% for the general population).
