Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ilhan Omar campaign mailer singles out Jewish donors to her opponent

Jul 26, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Another convergence between Leftism and Islam is that both are deeply anti-Semitic. Islam teaches hatred of Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (cf. Qur’an 5:82) and the totalitarian Left has always persecuted Jews for refusing to give up their singular practices and meld into the great and glorious collective. In Ilhan Omar, both of these vicious impulses come together.

“Ilhan Omar Campaign Mailer Accuses Opponent of Being ‘in the Pocket of Wall Street’ and Only Quotes Jewish Donors by Name,” by Cameron Joseph, Vice News, July 23, 2020:

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) campaign recently sent out a mail piece ripping her primary opponent, attorney Antone Melton-Meaux, for the large donations he’s gotten from wealthy and moderate donors. The only donors to her opponent identified by name in the mailer are Jewish.

The mailer, received by voters in the district last week and obtained by VICE News, leads with the headline “Can We Trust Antone Melton-Meaux’s Money?” It accuses him of being “in the pocket of the GOP,” “in the pocket of Wall Street,” and “in the pocket of the medical industry,” and pulls various quotes from a MinnPost article and a BuzzFeed article about his donors attacking Omar.

The only names cited in the mailer are Stanley Weinstein, a retired real estate executive from Miami Beach who was the only on-record BuzzFeed quote; billionaire Jonathan Gray, the head of Blackstone Group private equity firm; and Seth Klarman, a billionaire hedge fund owner who has donated in the past to the GOP. All three men are Jewish (both MinnPost and the mailer inaccurately refer to Gray as “John”).

None of Melton-Meaux’s other donors are mentioned by name in the mailer. The only other quote with identifying information attached to it is from “Michael, a donor from Scarsdale, New York” — one of the wealthiest and most heavily Jewish towns in the country.

Melton-Meaux has raised an eye-popping amount for a little-known House challenger — $3.2 million in the last quarter — and much of that money has come from pro-Israel organizations as well as Jewish donors, some of whom have donated in the past to Republicans or work on Wall Street. It’s a common campaign tactic for progressives to attack their moderate foes for taking big corporate money. But by solely mentioning Jewish donors by name while painting Melton-Meaux as being in their “pocket” to do their bidding on financial issues, her campaign’s mailer makes an argument that critics see as an anti-Semitic trope — especially in light of her string of previous controversial remarks about Israel…

    The mask of Ilhan Omar falls off, revealing vile anti-Semitism and out-and-out communism. Since when is Wall Street the enemy? It’s the hub of the activities that make Americans prosperous. Since when is it a crime for Jews to belong to a party beside the Dems? Isn’t that like Biden’s claim that if a black man votes Republican ‘you ain’t black’?

    Omar’s message is clear: the Jews are the enemies; therefore. Muslims and Leftists should unite to defeat them.

    After this naked anti-Semitism by Omar, any Jewish supporters of Omar should take a deep look at a party that accepts such a candidate. I (a non-Jewish person) would not vote for an anti-Semitic candidate. How can they?

      This is quite a stretch claiming anti-semitism, when she is currently dating a white. Jewish man in Washington DC. They also live together. Nice BS try though. Of all the religious groups in America, Muslims get along with Jess the best. Dont believe me, come to Brooklyn or queens here in “jew york”. Because it doesn’t fit the mainstream narrative, you never hear about it. Don’t confuse Jews with garbage Zionism. Muslims hate Zionism, not jews. And that single quote in the Quran is always taken out of context, and refers to a battle in which Christians and jews threw down their weapons and ran away, after professing to convert to Islam. Facts.

        “Muslims hate zionism,not Jews”

        So,muslims don’t hate Jews?

        Your Arab god allah teaches HATRED of the Jews in his violently antisemitic ‘holy’ book.

        Are these quotes ‘taken out of context’ too as you islamic apologists love to say?

        Apart from koran 5:82..

        “Lo!Those who disbelieve,among the People of the Book{JEWS,Christians}and the idolaters,will abide in hell fire.
        They are the WORST of created beings”
        koran 98:6

        “{the Jews}.. to be HATED AND DESPISED”
        koran 2:65

        allah curses the Jews for believing in somebody called ‘Ezra is the son of allah'{koran 9:30}

        The Jews are ‘the worst of created beings’ ‘to be hated and despised’.

        BTW
        the people of the BOOK that allah curses subscribe to the laws of the Actual God YHWH

        What is in that BOOK{the Bible}?
        “The Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets”

        What is MISSING from your book {the koran}?
        “The Law of Moses and the teachings of all the prophets”

        The HOLEY koran is an instruction manual to break every Law of YHWH.
        No wonder there are so many ‘HOLES’ in the koran’s narrative:it is a false book.

        islam has a false god,a false prophet and a false scripture.

        muslims just can’t handle the truth.

        Maybe in New York they do but in most parts there not just few weeks ago a protest in Canada (Mississauga) muslims called them dogs and said they have no place in Canada.

        Sabri S,

        You have no credibility on Jihad Watch. Zero.

        What you are is a “very devout” muslim.

        Back in May 2020, you posted that the father did the right thing by beheading his 13-year-old daughter.

        Here’s the proof:

          Fine post, James. Sabri S. is a savage.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 26, 2020 at 6:33 pm

        Sabri S. is claiming that Muslims get along with Jews (or “Jess”) just fine, and then is referring to New York as “jew york”? Yeah…I’m convinced…sarc/off

        And the claim that Muslims only hate “garbage Zionism” and not Jews is grotesque. The “Prophet” himself enslaved, raped, and mass murdered Jews, and Islamic scripture calls for the genocide of the Jews.

        It is not a single verse of the Qur’an that calls for hating the Jews–the Qur’an and Hadith are full of the hatred of Jews.

        Qur’an 4.46: Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places and say: We have heard and we disobey and: Hear, may you not be made to hear! and: Raina, distorting (the word) with their tongues and taunting about religion; and if they had said (instead): We have heard and we obey, and hearken, and unzurna it would have been better for them and more upright; but Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so they do not believe but a little.

        Qur’an 4.160: Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did We disallow to them the good things which had been made lawful for them and for their hindering many (people) from Allah’s way.

        Qur’an 5.64: And the Jews say: The hand of Allah is tied up! Their hands shall be shackled and they shall be cursed for what they say. Nay, both His hands are spread out, He expends as He pleases; and what has been revealed to you from your Lord will certainly make many of them increase in inordinacy and unbelief; and We have put enmity and hatred among them till the day of resurrection; whenever they kindle a fire for war Allah puts it out, and they strive to make mischief in the land; and Allah does not love the mischief-makers.

        Qur’an 5.51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

        There are, of course, many more.

        Sabri,
        Do you know if Ilhan is a pious religious muslim, or is she sporting a clitoris like a common tramp? This is important to know if I’m to vote for her.

        The koran? Isn’t that the terror guide that mohammed the pig-faced dog shat into the arabian sands following sex with then later a meal of his favorite pig, or “dad” as he called it? We use copies received from the the terror group CAIR to line our cats’ litter boxes.

      • R Thomasson says

        Jul 27, 2020 at 11:04 am

        @Sabri. Ilhan Omar is a Somali Moslima, it means, accoring to the Quran, she cannot date any man and live with him without marriage. Let stand a man that is not a friend of Allah. In countries as Pakistan, Iran or any Arab or Muslim country they had stoned her as a whore. Further you write: Don’t confuse Jews with garbage Zionism. Muslims hate Zionism, not Jews. This is a severe lie. Muslims hate everyone who is not a Muslims. They hate Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Hindi and everyone else who doesn’t give a shit of what Allah represents. They got from this mobster chief a license to kill.

          Sabri S. knows this well. He has affirmed the savagery of Islam here many times–including Muslims beheading their own daughters.

    • R Thomasson says

      Jul 27, 2020 at 10:50 am

      @Mortimer. Ilhan Omar is anti-Jewish and no anti-Semitic. She is devoted to Allah and his Semitic primitive Brothers in Arms; the Arabs. A very bad choice! Arabs regard, till the day of today, her folk as inferior slaves. Jews don’t represent Semites; if they were, they had to be as primitive and as dumb. They had not have the slightest chance to survive.

    Well I think muslims are A national security threat, and their objectives are inherently antithetical to the well being of white americfans, and others who wish to remain christian or atheists. But according to the american establishment that would make me A racist. Not naming Jewish donors, thats to be covered up. Why cover up if what you stand for is the right thing to do? In G-d I trust.

What does this FOREIGN Al Sha’bab bitch expect? Antone Melton-Meaux has better qualification she can only dream of. Above all, Mr. Melton-Meaux is a CHRISTIAN. He has no wet dream of taking USA over by zunami swarms of blood thirsty Jihad beasts, who’ll will turn the country in a raping Walhalla and Rivers of Blood. It is a bloody shame that Ilhan Omar and her girlfriend Rashida Tlaib are representing an American party in the name of millions of prospective victims. Their place is in their country of origin. They’ll find their a lot of sun and lot of Allah. KICK THEM OUT! Enough is enough!

    Omar took an oath to defend the constitution of the United State. That oath was a lie on her part. she is trying her best to change America to an Islamic Sharia friendly country that will destroy all other religious choices. Omar is a threat to the American people and our freedoms she should be tried for treason and never ever re-elected to even dog catcher because as a islamic follower she hates dogs and would kill them.

    If you are a DOG LOVER check it out muslims hate dogs, abuse and kill them, sadly they have the same hate for jews and christians.

        @Gravenimage. “Minneapolis used to be one of the cities with the lowest crime rates in the US”. It was in the time that most inhabitants of Minneapolis and the whole of Minnesota were of Scandinavian, German and Dutch origin. Well, ever since HUMAN GARBAGE started to infiltrate the city (and State?) in order to parasite on it’s liberal welfare, things had changed. Minnesota had learned: STUPIDITY is very hazardous. When Bill Clinton and later Barrack Obama had the sleazy idea to import shit from Somalia and Erithrea, they had to say: NO. NOT TO OUR STATE!
