Demands They Lock Up Jews

Islamic pro-terror groups reacted to the Hamas terror attacks of Oct 7 not only with riots and public pressure campaigns aimed at politicians but also by privately meeting with top federal and state law enforcement officials to demand that they lock up Jewish political opponents.
As exclusively reported last month, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an Islamist group whose leader had celebrated Oct 7, had been meeting with attorney generals around the country, trying to convince them to arrest journalists and activists who had been investigating and exposing Hamas supporters.
Now, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has been caught meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland and senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray and Associate Attorney General Lisa Monaco, to also discuss targeting Jews.
On May 22nd, top DOJ officials and the FBI Director met with Arab American Institute boss James Zogby and MPAC founder Salam al-Marayati. Both men had been accused of supporting terrorism, including Hamas, in accusations going back decades.
Zogby, a Lebanese Arab activist, had described Hezbollah, which was responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans, as “the Lebanese armed resistance.”
“By criminalizing attempts to send money to Hezbollah or to support it, the FBI is confusing and alienating people here who could be allies in the war on terrorism,” he had warned the FBI.
Salam al-Marayati had defended Hamas, blamed Israel for 9/11, and claimed that Hezbollah was not engaged in terrorism but “legitimate resistance… that could be called liberation movement.” When Hezbollah bombed the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 military personnel, he argued that “it was a military operation, producing no civilian casualties.”
“Yesterday’s terrorists in the Middle East are today’s leaders,” he had argued, and “Hamas in terms of its social and educational operations is doing exactly what the PLO was doing 35 years ago, as well as its quote unquote military operations.”
The Democratic-Socialist Movement has joined forces with anti-Israel Pro-Hamas protestors to organize a march on DC on June 8th, aiming to pressure the Biden Administration to abandon support for Israel to avoid losing votes.
Stand with Israel and Hold the Line Against These Revolutionaries!
MPAC, the organization Al-Marayati had co-founded, had issued policy papers calling for the removal of Hamas and Hezbollah from the list of terror groups. At a meeting of the Palestine Committee of Hamas supporters in America, MPAC had been described as a “sympathetic” group that could be used as “an entry point to use them to pressure Congress and the decision-makers in America.” Was that what MPAC was doing here?
Normally, the FBI should have been interrogating MPAC, but instead, MPAC was interrogating it.
Salam al-Marayati filmed a video outside the Attorney General’s office in which he falsely claimed that the Hamas campus encampments had been “peaceful” and that the violence had come from the police and urged an investigation to “hold law enforcement accountable.” *Had Al-Marayati not filmed his video, we might never have known what the Biden administration was doing.
The meeting arranged by Zogby, Al-Marayati went even further off the rails, claiming that Muslims were under attack by Jewish “terrorists” allied with the “Proud Boys” and demanded that the FBI do something about them.
Al-Marayati’s only example of Jews fighting back against Hamas supporters occurred at UCLA when, after a Jewish female student had been knocked unconscious and multiple local Jews had been assaulted, with no response from the university, campus police, or the LAPD, some young Jewish men showed up and took on the terrorist encampment.
Nevertheless, according to the MPAC account, FBI Director Christopher Wray said he would pass the case to the FBI LA field office. This is troubling because a previous exclusive investigation found that the FBI LA office had treated assaults against Muslims and by Muslims against Jews very differently…[potentially a] civil rights violation.
Attorney General Garland and the DOJ leadership should be fighting Islamic terrorism. Instead, they’re meeting with groups like MPAC that have a history of defending Islamic terrorism. And not only are they meeting with them, they’re taking cues about investigations from them.
The DOJ and the FBI have gone from fighting Islamic terrorists to taking orders from them.
Even as the Biden administration promises that it is fighting antisemitism, it’s holding covert meetings with antisemites who demand that the FBI go after the Jews.
