Biased Anti-Israel Woman Activist In North Carolina Running For Congressional Position

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                      

The last thing we need in Congress is to be populated by people who are already anti-Israel activists.  That means that they are already biased, coming in as people who will vote every time against anything friendly about Israel. Nida Allam in Durham, North Carolina has been spotted as just such a woman.

Allam has been checked out by researcher, Peter Reitzes, speech-language pathologist, author and reporter for Algemeiner of Chapel Hill, NC. but who works in Durham.   She won a seat as Durham County Commissioner in  2020.  Now she's filed and is running for Representative  David Price's seat who is a Democrat, so Democrats of North Carolina, please note who you are voting for and what they stand for.  Quote Peter Reitzes, "I first researched Allam during her 2019 campaign for County Commissioner, due to her anti-Israel positions. What I found was a history of abhorrent statements that extended far beyond Israel.

"In 2019, Allam tweeted a picture of herself standing with a Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), an anti-Zionist group sign.  "Jewish Voice for Peace is a left-wing activist organization in the United States that supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel. Its critics say it musters Jewish opposition to and works to undermine public support for Israel."  In other words, they are anti-Israel.  How disgusting a group they are who use their name as a ruse to cover what they really stand for.  Noam Chomsky is on their board.  No wonder!  He's a man born Jewish but has never understood what that means at all.  He's what I call a self-hater and an anti-Semite.  JVP has come under criticism from other Jewish groups that have branded the movement not only as anti-Semitic but also traitorous.

 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes JVP as “a radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates for a complete economic, cultural and academic boycott of the state of Israel.”

                                              

A little background about Allam.  She was born in Ottawa, Canada to a father from India and a mother from Pakistan. "A devout Muslim, she did not begin wearing the hijab full-time until she was in eighth grade."  She is the first Muslim to run for public office in North Carolina.  

That in itself isn't a bad thing at all.  One of my best friends is a Syrian Muslim who is very open-minded, highly intelligent  and  loves Jewish people.   I haven't heard from him in a long time, though.  Hope he's okay.  He is a rarity, I might add. 

 However, Allam is openly biased and is being extremely anti-Semitic. She has accused pro-Israel advocates of “allegiance to a foreign country” at a public event in an open letter.  Allam has repeatedly promoted her close ties with noted antisemite Linda Sarsour, calling Sarsour “my shero, role-model, mentor, and so much more.”  "Sarsour has been widely criticized for advocating for the destruction of Israel via the BDS movement and other means, saying, “Nothing is creepier than Zionism,” and advising Muslims not to “humanize” Israelis."

"Bob Gutman, a Jewish leader in Durham, said: “In her bid for local office, Nida Allam [ran on] an anti-Israel position. She has served for less than a year as a County Commissioner, and in that time, Allam has caused painful division in the city. Now she wants to leave Durham and take a seat with The Squad.”"  Then she'll be able to influence not only Durham County but Orange County as well.  In her short political career, Nida Allam has alienated both black and Jewish constituents. North Carolinians need a representative who will foster peace and cooperation. Instead, Allam offers hate and division."

One thing that is hurtful to me is that Allam worked as a political director for U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.  Bernie, born a Jew,  is another self-hater in that he never stands for Israel that I have seen, and really didn't need anymore help from another anti-Israeli Muslim.  I imagine that Bernie thought she was just right.  My problem isn't with them, it's that they can induce others who are not prejudiced yet to be infected with their prejudice against Israel.

Hamas Supporter Helps Ilhan Omar- House Didn't Go Along

Hamas admirerer  Nihad Awad is pictured here with Linda Sarsour in the US Capitol building, earlier today. They are on their way to support Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Update:  3/7/19

House Approves Anti-Semitism Resolution In Wake Of Omar's Comments

When I see a Hamas terrorist supporter in our Government, I get worried.  Right now anti-Semiticism is running rampant in our country and doesn't need anymore help. 

 Nihad Awad was born in Amman New Camp, a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. He studied at Second Amman Preparatory School for Boys, located at the camp and belongs to UNRWA, and at Salaheddine High School in Achrafieh in Jordan.  He works for CAIR, Council on American Islamic Relations.  After studying civil engineering at the University of Minnesota in the 1990s, he worked at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.  This is where he met Ilhan Omar, who's been overtly anti-Semitic ever since she got in office.   
                                                                           

Hamas' latest attacks, burning kites and flying into Israel's fields, forests
Their usual attacks have been rockets, mortars, and missiles
Now they're getting more publicity and citizens injured which gets them
negative publicity against Israel-their goal 
No one complains when the hospital in Israel has had to go
underground with the mortar attacks, but flames
gets the Israel haters all excited.  

After the Gulf War, Awad was Public Relations Director for the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)".  What do you think a group for Palestine would be aiming for?  Since 1967 when they lost the war with Israel though they had every Muslim state around on their side, they lost, and so they attended a meeting in Khartoum, Africa where they swore to say NO to whatever was offered to them in  the name of PEACE, unless they were given all of Israel.  That's their goal.  

Omar Ahmad 

                                                       

Nihad Awad

What is CAIR?  In June 1994, IAP President Omar Ahmad and others founded the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Awad was hired as the Executive Director. In a March 1994 speech at Barry University, future CAIR Executive Director Awad said in response to an audience question about the various humanitarian efforts in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, "I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO... there are some [Hamas] radicals, we are not interested in those people." The statement was made before Hamas carried out its first suicide bombing and was designated a terrorist organization by the United States government.

"Omar Ahmad was the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington D.C. -based Muslim civil rights organization. He also worked for the Islamic Association of Palestine, a precursor to CAIR."  Muslims attended a meeting in Kartoum, Africa in 1967 swearing their 3 NOs to any proposal about peace with Israel, for their goal is to take all of Israel for their Palestine, not just a piece of it like Judea-Samaria.  They want all of Jerusalem.  
                                                     

Nihad Awad (second from right) stands to President Bush's left, when Bush said "Like the good folks standing with me, the American people were appalled and outraged at last Tuesday's attacks [on Sept. 11, 2001].

A few days after the September 11 attacks in 2001, Awad was one of a select group American Muslim leaders invited by the White House to join President Bush in a press conference condemning the attacks and acts of anti-Muslim intolerance that followed.                 

Muammar Gaddafi

Asked by Awad for a donation
flattering him with compliments on how he solves disputes
He governed Libya as Revolutionary Chairman of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977, and then as the "Brotherly Leader" of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. He was initially ideologically committed to Arab nationalism and Arab socialism but later ruled according to his own Third International Theory.

In April 2011, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. cited a 2009 letter sent from Awad, to Muammar Gaddafi asking Gaddafi for funding for a project called the Muslim Peace Foundation at a U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations sub-committee hearing with Robert Mueller.The letter also said, in part, "I am pleased to send to Your Excellency in my name most solemn assurances of thanks and appreciation for the efforts you exert in the service of Islam, Muslims and all mankind through your initiative to teach Islam, spread the culture of Islam, and solve disputes, for which you are known internationally." 

Gaddafi also became a strong supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which ultimately harmed Libya's relations with Egypt when in 1979 Egypt pursued a peace agreement with Israel. As Libya's relations with Egypt worsened, Gaddafi sought closer relations with the Soviet Union. Libya became the first country outside the Soviet bloc to receive the supersonic MiG-25 combat fighters, but Soviet-Libyan relations remained relatively distant. Gaddafi also sought to increase Libyan influence, especially in states with an Islamic population, by calling for the creation of a Saharan Islamic state and supporting anti-government forces in sub-Saharan Africa. From the PLO grew Fatah and Hamas, both terrorists with Hamas the most active and who now rules Gaza while Abbas of Fatah has control over Judea-Samaria in certain areas.  

Steven Emerson criticized the funding request, calling it "hypocritical".

What has CAIR done about Muslim relations with Jews in the USA? 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) organizes Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) designed to collect and evaluate statistics of offenses committed in the U.S. For 2014, 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes were listed, of which 56.8% were motivated by offenders' anti-Jewish biases. 15,494 law enforcement agencies contributed to the UCR analysis.

On Saturday, October 27, 2018, an antisemitic shooter murdered 11 Jewish people in an attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during Shabbat services. It was the deadliest antisemitic act committed in US history.Antisemitic hate crimes in New York City rose sharply in 2018.

NYPD reported a 75% increase in swastika graffiti between 2016 and 2018, with an uptick observed after the Pittsburgh shooting. Out of 189 hate crimes in New York City in 2018, 150 featured swastikas.  On February 1 2019 graffiti that read "fucking Jews" was found on the wall of a synagogue in LA.

The Kartoum Conference of 1967 "is famous for containing (in the third paragraph) what became known as the "Three No's": "no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it..."  This has affected Palestinian attitudes towards Jews who have accepted this 
attitude.  

Update: 7/28//19 David Duke of KKK's comment: Most recently, Duke endorsed anti-Semitic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and called Omar the most important person in Congress.
