It should be expected that even after close to five decades, the Palestinian Authority and “Fatah still lauds its Olympics massacre”:
in Palestinian ideology the attack and the murders are presented as a “heroic” event to be proud of. Palestinian Media Watch has documented that both the PA and Fatah continuously glorify the terror attack, the terrorists themselves, and those who planned it.
Now comes acutely troubling news:
Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar has deleted an Instagram post in which he referred to his grandfather, Palestinian terrorist Muhammad Yousef al-Najjar, as a “legend.”
Campa-Nijjar did not just reference his jihadist grandfather as a “legend” but also as a “hero”, all while he takes great pains to outwardly parade himself as peaceful and disassociates himself from his grandfather.
Ammar Campa-Najjar has also defended his donation to Hamas-linked CAIR.
“Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar Deletes Instagram Post Calling His Terrorist Grandfather a ‘Legend,’” by Joel Pollack, Breitbart, October 16, 2018:
Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar has deleted an Instagram post in which he referred to his grandfather, Palestinian terrorist Muhammad Yousef al-Najjar, as a “legend.”
Muhammad Yousef al-Najjar was “was “a senior member of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September that murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics,” according to the Times of Israel, and a deputy for Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat.
Earlier this year, when Campa-Najjar’s roots were first reported, he condemned his grandfather’s actions and supported peace.
But in a 2015 Instagram post praising his father, who is a former Palestinian Authority (PA) official and Palestinian ambassador, Campa-Najjar referred to his grandfather as a “legend.” He offered no criticism or condemnation of his grandfather’s terrorist acts.
Breitbart News reported the existence of that Instagram post on Monday, as well as another in which he noted that his family was close to Yasser Arafat’s. The Campa-Najjar campaign declined to comment, and by Tuesday both posts had been taken down, and the account made “private.” Both posts, however, survive as screen shots.
Campa-Najjar is pushing back against an effort by his opponent in California’s 50th congressional district, incumbent Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), to portray him as a “security risk.”
Campa-Najjar changed his name after the June primary (from Ammar Yasser Najjar to Ammar Joseph Campa-Najjar); received a campaign donation from a Palestinian ambassador; and donated campaign funds to a radical group, CAIR, while taking donations from CAIR officials……
“Even after 46 years, Fatah still lauds its Olympics massacre: ‘Black September stunned the world and made it hold its breath for more than 12 hours,'” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, October 18, 2018:
The world was enraged when 8 Palestinian terrorists from Fatah’s Black September took 11 Israeli athletes and coaches hostage at the Olympics in Munich on September 5, 1972, and later murdered them.
However, in Palestinian ideology the attack and the murders are presented as a “heroic” event to be proud of. Palestinian Media Watch has documented that both the PA and Fatah continuously glorify the terror attack, the terrorists themselves, and those who planned it.
On this year’s anniversary of the murders of the Israeli athletes, Abbas’ Fatah Movement posted a video that lauds the attack and praises Fatah’s terror organization Black September that planned and carried out the attack. Fatah introduced the video of what it called the “heroic operation” with the following words:

Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar called Munich jihadist grandfather a “hero” and “legend”
……………….
Well, this says it all. I had noted that Campa-Najjar being related to Jihadists did not *necessarily* brand him himself as a sympathizer–that it depended on whether he condemned Jihad or not.
We knew that he had never condemned it–but here he is, actually admiring it.
I hope no one votes for this Jihadist thug.
Most of the polls show his opponent with a solid lead:

SK says
That is honestly a fair criterion.
Gamzu says
For the record, Campa-Najjar did not call his terrible grandfather a hero, as the title (but not the article) claims. He called his father a hero. As for calling his grandfather a legend, he actually said that “in the eyes of many” his grandfather was a legend, which may well be a true statement. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this guy’s bad news,but his words should not be mischaracterized.

Compliments.! Muslims really know where to glorify for.
It would have been nice if you could glorify and even remember a nice time, when you built your country and modernised your violent religion, and had the insight that humans can not live together under such violence.
Then in my book you had something to glorify about, not now, not now at all, now you can only stand in
SHAME.
mortimer says
Unless the DEMO-CRATS denounce Ammar Campa-Najjar for glorifying MURDERING JEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWISH, they are the DHIMMI-O-CRATS.
Any Jew who votes for the DHIMMI-O-CRATS is not reasonable.

At this point what concern me is not to comment about who is the bad a good guy here. We already know that,incluiding those,who don’ have the guts to make public their point of view for fear to retalation,,putting with their silent our nation more in danger. The question is,hiw we arrive to the point,where a person with ties to terrorists or terrorist himself is allow to run as a political candidate .
The anti American position of Democratic Party should be investigated. President Trump dtaff shoul educate themselves about Islam as a political ideology,not a religion.,go deep to the Coran,,read the Reliance of the Traveler,,and the 1400 years of hate agains the West. The islamic Ideology has penetrated all levels of government in all areas. Muammar Gaddafi once said that they will win this war without guns,meaning through Hijra (inmigration) They have this planned for years,but the ignorance in the government and our own ignorance and cowardice allow this to happen.
