We have previously seen this gutter thug threatening “snitches” and applauding the fascist vandalism of “journalist” Mona Eltahawy. In this he makes a call that is tantamount to calling for genocide. But don’t worry: he’s a “moderate.”
“CAIR Leader Mimics Hamas in Calling for Israel’s Destruction,” by Joe Kaufman at FrontPage, December 21:
The
slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” can be
heard regularly from the shores of the Gaza Strip, emanating from
members of terrorist groups, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic
Jihad. The river represents the Jordan River, and the sea is the
Mediterranean — both sides of Israel. Essentially, this means the
destruction of Israel.Khaled Meshaal, the global head of Hamas, stated something similar,
when he made his historic visit to Gaza this month. He said, “Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north.”
Just one week previous to that, the leader of another Islamist group,
Cyrus McGoldrick, repeated the slogan on Facebook and Twitter. Except he
did not state it from the Middle East, he made it from the United
States.McGoldrick is the Civil Rights Manager and spokesman for the New York
chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR-New York.
The national organization of CAIR was founded in June 1994 as a part of
the umbrella group created by then-global Hamas leader Mousa Abu
Marzook. [Today, Marzook is the number two leader under Meshaal.] As
well, CAIR was named a party to Hamas financing by the U.S. Justice
Department for two federal trials against the Holy Land Foundation for
Relief and Development (HLF). CAIR had asked people to donate money to the terrorist HLF charity via CAIR”s national website.When fighting broke out between Hamas, who was firing hundreds of
rockets into Israeli civilian neighborhoods, and Israel, who was
responding to the Hamas fire by targeting terrorist infrastructure,
McGoldrick didn’t flinch as to which side he was supporting. On November
12 on Twitter, he wrote, “Gaza under attack for the last few days. May G-d protect them [Hamas] and grant them victory.”
Just two days earlier, McGoldrick had attended a CAIR banquet in Tampa,
Florida. Just one day earlier, he had praised Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad.On November 15, McGoldrick tweeted, “Palestine is a land occupied by
foreign settlers. They [Hamas] have the right to resist, to defend
themselves, “˜by any means necessary.–The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Egypt, took place
on November 21. However, that did not stop McGoldrick from tweeting and
posting to his Facebook page one week later, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” When McGoldrick said that “Palestine” was “land occupied by foreign settlers,” he wasn’t referring to Gaza and the West Bank; he was referring to all of Israel.
