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.

And many Jews who supported BLM thought that, as a fellow victim group, they'd be among the beneficiaries of those "privileges and entitlements."

Now they're learning that many of the nonwhite victim groups see Jews not as fellow victims, but as white colonialists.

Racist corrupt commie idiot mayor Eric Adams could not be trust to hire anyone remotely competent, now could he? So why is this news? He’d hire a terrorist as a liaison to the Orthodox Union.
