They smear Steve Bannon, a great friend of Israel, while this operative led Hamas rallies. The enemedia silence about Ellison shows that their outrage over Bannon’s supposed “anti-Semitism” is entirely feigned and hypocritical. They don’t care about Jews. They just care about bashing Trump.

“Keith Ellison Headlined Fundraiser For Muslim Activist Who Called For Palestinians To Embrace ‘The Jihad Way,’” by Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, 11/21/2016 (thanks to Christian):
Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, the favorite to take over as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, campaigned in 2009 for a Libya-born activist who once called on Palestinians to embrace “the jihad way” in order to get free of Israeli control.
The activist, Esam Omeish, a former candidate for Virginia state delegate, has also praised one of the founders of Hamas and commended the work of Palestinian suicide bombers.
Omeish’s positions had been publicized when Ellison, the first Mulsim [sic] ever elected to Congress, headlined the July 2009 fundraiser for Omeish, who served as president from 2004 to 2008 of the Muslim American Society, a Muslim Brotherhood-linked group.
“The very fact that you have ran a honorable campaign in this heated primary shows victory. Don’t stop working, lay it all on the line,” Ellison said at the event, according to Omeish’s campaign website.
Photos from the event show Ellison chatting with Omeish and other activists, such as Nihad Awad, the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Progressive liberals, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have pushed for Ellison to be named as head of the DNC. But Ellison’s critics have pointed to his links to extremist organizations such as the Nation of Islam — he first ran for office in 1998 under the name Keith Ellison-Muhammad — and his comments regarding Israel as cause for concern.
The Washington Free Beacon reported further on Monday that Ellison, who entered Congress in 2007, also took a trip to Mecca, the Islamic holy site, in late-2008. The junket, which cost $13,500 and sparked a House Ethics investigation, was paid for by the Muslim American Society (MAS).
It is unclear if Omeish was in charge of MAS when Ellison took the trip.
A year before, Omeish was forced by then-Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine to resign his position on a state immigration commission after video footage from 2000 surfaced showing him condemning Israel and endorsing “the jihad way.”
“We the Muslims of the Washington metropolitan area are here today…to tell our brothers and sisters in [Palestine] that you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land,” Omeish told the crowd, which included protesters holding signs equating the Star of David to a Nazi swastika.
“Dr. Omeish is a respected physician and community leader, yet I have been made aware of certain statements he has made which concern me,” Kaine said in 2007, after announcing that Omeish would be replaced at the Virginia immigration commission because of the video.
Omeish, who ended up losing the Virginia delegate contest, spouted fiery, anti-Israel rhetoric again at a rally held in Oct. 2000 in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. There, he praised an intifada the Palestinians were waging against Israel.
“We need to congratulate our brothers and sisters in Philistine [Palestine] for their bravery, for their giving up their lives for the sake of Allah and for the sake of Al-Aqsa.”
Omeish was referring either to the Al-Aqsa intifada, a deadly campaign in which Palestinian suicide bombers carried out attacks against Israelis, or the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, a terrorist group that formed in the West Bank in 2000.
In 2004, after he took over at MAS, Omeish praised Ahmed Yassin, one of the founders of Hamas, the terrorist group.
“Bullets and bombs are going off upon our brothers in Philistine [Palestine] and we are sitting here and saying [Arabic phrase], instead of feeling that this is our tax money and it is our dollars that killed our beloved Sheikh Ahmed Yassin,” Omeish said during a speech in Overland Park, Kan….

Patriots must be ever vigilant and not let down their guard. Stay informed let your voices be heard and pray for God’s blessing on Trump’s administration and the USA.
7 years agoReply to PatrickGood cartoon and very true. I’m for boycotting too whenever and wherever needed.
7 years agoThis is good, the dnc are rapidly sinking into a sewer of their own making, every muslim and imbecile that can help will sink it faster. The palestinians are a great money pit for the stupid to try filling, they stimulate the economy of the arms industry as palestinians are stupid, overpay for everything, then waste it in their successful efforts to commit suicide.
7 years agoThe flying saucer man, about to become head of the Demos.
7 years agoJust the Democrat party revealing what it actually is.
7 years agoReply to Hell AlWholeheartedly agree. To replace Pelosi with Ellison is simply a case of trading the Devil for his b*tch.
7 years agoI hope the commicerats take a further leftward drift out of the political mainstream by selecting Ellison. I love watching them lose elections.
7 years agoWow do the democrats scrap the bottom of the barrell for their so called leaders.
7 years agoMinnesota should recall this guy….oops..wait…who put him in Congress? “Minnesota the Muslim State” that’s who…apologies to the non muslim Minnesotans…. Maybe his fellow Reps should kick him out…..Cant..that would show rscism….Ugh….and if the Democtitical party is not in enough deep muddy water some want him as the DNC chief….great good gobs of green goose grease..have they completely gone nuts?…probably!
7 years agoEllison was caught fornicating with his swine,when caught he told allah he was sorry, in the dark he thought it was his goat. allah beheaded him. Swine and Goat lives matter.
7 years agoK Ellison= L Farrakhan goes to washington.
7 years agoIf the drive by media had any interest in Keith Ellison’s fitness for office, they would ask him for a truthful straight forward public answer as to how he considers Israel and the Jewish population……since muslims are permitted to lie in the advancement of islam, it will have to be a bold and aggressive interview.
7 years agoThese protestors are callin trump a bigot. Excuse me, the dnc is about to elect a real bigot to its chair!!
