“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada”
The Biden administration’s tone on Israel notably shifted after the first few days. The initial response to the attack was generally good and then as pressure mounted, the administration counterprogrammed each mention of antisemitism with Islamophobia which reached truly horrendous levels of pandering when Biden’s press secretary denied the existence of antisemitism and began lecturing on Islamophobia and an obsessive focus on the welfare of ‘Gaza’.
By the time Biden gave his big speech, it had to be vetted by Muslim staffers.
Hours before President Joe Biden gave a rare primetime address last week, his head speechwriter sat down with a group of senior Arab and Muslim-American officials to go over the draft and take suggestions.
Dissent was sprouting even inside the White House, where some aides worried that Biden hadn’t shown enough empathy for Palestinian civilians and a Muslim community facing a torrent of anger, said a person familiar with the discussions who, like others, requested anonymity to talk freely.
The hour-long editing session reflects a vigorous outreach effort the White House is undertaking to reassure Arab-Americans who feel they’re being scapegoated for the atrocities that Hamas has committed a half-world away.
Who were these officials? They aren’t being named, but the Biden administration includes some pretty bad figures. Like Hady Amr, his point man on ‘Palestinian’ issues, and Maher Bitar.
“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11, discussing his work as the national coordinator of the anti-Israel Middle East Justice Network.
Biden has now chosen Amr as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine.
And less well known figures.
Biden’s incredible Muslim team includes men and women whom we have already profiled like Maher Bitar, a former executive board member of Hatem Bazian’s Students for Justice in Palestine and anti-Israel BDS activist who became Biden’s Senior Director for Intelligence on the National Security Council, Reema Dodin, Biden’s first “Palestinian” staffer who had defended suicide bombings, and Mazen Basrawi, Biden’s new Muslim liaison, who attended a conference honoring one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing,
In 2014, Abdullah Hasan was a recipient of the CAIR-SFBA Islamic Scholarship Fund. He went on to defend BDS for the ACLU. Now he’s an assistant press secretary at the White House.
They include Aya Ibrahim, who started out as a legislative fellow to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, one of the most vocal terrorist supporters in Congress.
Sameera Fazili briefly served as Deputy Director of the National Economic Council in the Biden Administration. At Harvard, she had served as president of the Harvard Islamic Society the year that it had conducted a fundraising dinner for the Holy Land Foundation: a Hamas front group.
Uzra Zeya started out as a staffer at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: an informal arm of the Arab Lobby started by former diplomats to Muslim countries. While there Zeya helped compile material for a book claiming that Jews secretly control the United States. Biden chose Zeya as his undersecretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights.
Rashad Hussain, Biden’s “ambassador for religious freedom”, who has a degree in Islamic Studies and had memorized the Koran, had been Obama’s envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. During his time working for Obama, he had been caught lying about his past defense of an Islamic terrorist. Hussain had appeared at events with Muslim Brotherhood leaders. His wife, Isra Bhatty, became famous volunteering as a translator for Islamic terrorists in Gitmo before moving on to a senior position at the Justice Department.
Brenda Abdelall, the daughter of Egyptian immigrants, had participated in anti-Israel BDS protests in college. In a newspaper op-ed in 2002, she had falsely accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing” as part of a “brutal occupation”.
Even after this appointment, Abdelall appeared at the same convention as Hussain where speakers had called for a caliphate ruled by Islamic law and freeing Islamic terrorists.
So we’re not just talking about ‘Muslim staffers’. We’re talking about an administration whose Muslim staffers are often vehemently anti-Israel and terror adjacent.
Good thing they’re vetting Biden’s speeches on Israel.

A whole new meaning to Obama care !.; or maybe not new . The puppet master at work here !.
James Lincoln says
Alley cat,
I initially read your post as ObamaCAIR…
somehistory says
And still, c.a.i.r. a wad complains about what he said.
somehistory says
it’s terrible, but not a surprise. mozlums have been allowed to infiltrate …biden said mozlums would be in all ‘levels of *my* administration.’ And so they are and they decide things to go their way and expand islam.
James Lincoln says
Just wondering if the “squad” had the last say on the Israel speech.

Won’t be surprised if true.

Very good guess.

Along with Linda Sarsour (translates in Arabic to cockroach) who is doing her venomous best to stir Muslim hatred (which admittedly isn’t a heavy lift since Muslims hate so many things),

Hoi Polloi says
Appreciate any effort to expose cockroach-Linda, as she is truly vile. A woman that other women allowed to headline a purported women’s march. Who publicly called for violence against female targets of muslims. Who then was paid to front for US consumer brands; corps that had to be shamed into disassociating themselves. (Everyone here has seen my posts regarding her, so this is for new readers who don’t yet know how low she is. I can’t help myself.)

Might as well change the name of the United States of America to the Moslem State of America. But I don’t think the new muslim masters of the Us would care to have Biden around.
Wellington says
Biden serves as a sterling example of the useful idiot.
Deeply unfortunately, he is now the current President of the USA.
Damn.
Hoi Polloi says
BHO, the real stringpuller, laughed off charges that he was a muslim and a socialist; and yet, here he is again.

Eva says
Does biden have any staff who aren’t either moslems or terrorist supporters?
Bob says
Better question, does he have any staff who aren’t transgender, bisexual, homosexual or lesbian?
Eva says
Probably not, but they’re easy to deal with. Shout ‘Boo!!!’ and they’ll run away.
I’d rather deal with them than the mental moslems. They’ll do things no human can conceive of.
Hudders. says
Why are we not surprised. Again?
The US Government is completely infected with islamic evil at the highest levels like never before now.
Be it Iranian agents, or marxist-ismonazi stooges, the infestation is deep set & establishing confident control.
The about face on Israel has begun in earnest.
Biden & gang’s betrayal will almost certainly gain momentum in the coming days.
The long planned political jihad is a very real thing & we are witnessing it’s effects played out before the world.
However it is not just the US that has been compromised by the islamic evil.
Europe & Uk for example, are now also being strangled into submission by the demands of these desert demons.
Dark days are ahead it seems. So many still have their heads stuffed into the proverbial sand.
History has been ignored to the complacent peril of the populace.
Raise you voices. use your words.
Pray like you have never prayed before.
For this truly is darkness vs light: good vs evil.
Hilly says
Well said. We shouldn’t be surprised, but we can’t help but be especially concerned after reading that “Maher Bitar, a former executive board member of Hatem Bazian’s Students for Justice in Palestine and anti-Israel BDS activist who became Biden’s Senior Director for Intelligence on the National Security Counci.”
Bitar’s position on the National Security Council obviously requires a high level national security clearance that provides him with access to highly classified information! I would imagine many of these other officials have security clearances as well. Quite disconcerting, to put it mildly.

This is truly Obama’s handy work.
Trump 2024. America step forward and clean out these desert trols from our Government. Starting with Obama and Biden and his filthy greedy family.
God Bless America.

There cannot be a stranger alliance than those Of The Left and those Of Islam, two completely opposite ideologies.
Islamism is the new Nazism.
The youth of America, and Europe, are being used by islamic nutters and so I give this current generation a new label… The Useful Idiot Generation… or UIG for short.
somehistory says
Not “completely opposite.” Both groups pretend morality, seek absolute control, are ready to kill to make that happen and lie in a vain attempt to cover their crimes.
