Linda Tigani is the latest bureaucrat to be rising high in the diversity-equity-inclusion racket (NYC Division). She was recently appointed by New York Mayor Eric Adams to direct the city’s Commission on Racial Equity. When it comes to Jews her presumed commitment to “diversity-equity-inclusion” seems to evanesce. She has quite a history, caught on videos proudly uploaded to social media, of urging, chanting, shouting at rallies “from the river to the sea/Palestine shall be free,” which means, of course, that the one tiny Jewish state must disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab one. More on Linda Tigani can be found in a story from late October; unfortunately, since then nothing has changed. “New head of NYC racial equity commission has spewed antisemitic rhetoric,” by New York Post, October 28, 2023:
and Deirdre Bardolf,Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee to lead the city’s Commission on Racial Equity, Linda Tigani, has posted antisemitic messages for years, The Post has found.
Her views on the Israel-Palestine war aren’t so equitable.
Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee for chair and executive director of the city’s Commission on Racial Equity has a history of spewing antisemitic rhetoric.
Linda Tigani, who raked in $143,938 in fiscal year 2022 as acting chief equity and strategy officer for the city Health Department, has repeatedly shared posts on X that include the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which is call by Hamas terrorists and their anti-Israel backers for the eradication of the Jewish state.
“FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA! PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!!” Tigani wrote in a July 1, 2020, post, which also included a clip from the “Day of Rage” rally in Brooklyn, where protesters reportedly chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” in Arabic in response to Israel announcing plans to annex parts of the West Bank.
Tigani shared a video of a Palestinian artist and cook, along with a variant on the antisemitic phrase again in a November 2022 post, writing “Beautiful. From the River to the Sea #PalestineWillBeFree.”
Tigani has also shared a slew of posts highlighting Israeli attacks on Palestinians earlier this year.

Tigani has also championed Palestinians in the Middle Eastern conflict on her Facebook page, with her banner image currently reading “Free Gaza!!! Ethiopian for Palestine.”
Gaza has been “free” of Israelis since 2005, when every last Israeli, of some 8,500 who had been living in Gaza, left the Strip. Within two years, the Gazans were most unfree, suffering under the barbaric rule imposed by Hamas, the terror group which has ruled Gaza ever since. The people of Gaza owe their impoverishment to two things. First, the leaders of Hamas, most of whom are now living in five-star hotels in Doha, Qatar, watching the fighting from a safe distance, have long been engaged in the massive theft of aid money. Mousa Abu Marzouk has a fortune of $3 billion, Khaled Meshal has $4 billion, and Ismail Haniyeh has $4 billion. Just three Hamas leaders have helped themselves to eleven billion dollars. Second-echelon figures in Hamas have not been idle, either; they have grabbed a few million dollars apiece.
The second explanation for the wretchedness of life in Gaza is that the billions that were not stolen by Hamas leaders were spent, not on the wellbeing of ordinary people, but on buying weapons and constructing more than 1,300 tunnels that are 311 miles in total length, more than half the total length of the New York City subway system.
“Ethiopian for Palestine” writes Linda Tigani. This is Tigani’s quaint way to signal that she is Afro-American. She doesn’t realize, of course, that the only Ethiopians who may right now be in Gaza are not fighting “for Palestine.” They are Ethiopian Jews, Falashas, fighting in the IDF to protect the people and state of Israel.
Tigani has yet to post publicly on her social media accounts in the wake of Hamas slaughtering 1,400 people in Israel on Oct. 7….
Now that her antisemitic posts from the past have been revealed, she is likely to be very careful not to add more incriminating posts. I expect that from now on she will maintain a discreet silence about Israel and the Palestinians. But she’s left ample proof of her deep anti-Israel animus —and some would say, of her antisemitism.
Tigani and City Hall did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
What can she say? More importantly, what will Mayor Adams do now? When he appointed her, he was unaware of Tigani’s bigotry. I think he’ll do the only thing a sensible person can do, and fire her from her new job as Director of the Commission on Racial Equity. Don’t worry about Linda Tigani. Al Jazeera may well snap her up as a commentator on “Racism in America.” Or she could write a column for the Tehran Times. Or she could become an English-language journalist for the Palestinian News Agency Wafa. She’ll land on her feet, this Linda Tigani. Such people always do.

PUBLIC NOTICE – CANADA
.
There are numerous collections of HADITHS, the writings left as examples of how Muslims should conduct their lives. Some contain rather surprising levels of detail.
.
In one AISHA, Mohammad’s 9-year old bride, (just one of his nine wives), describes her least favorite task. Water is scarce in the Middle East. Apparently, Aisha had a strong dislike of having to scrap dried semen off Mohammed’s clothing.
.
It is 2023, and the 7th century ended long ago. Canada is halfway ‘round the Earth from Gaza. Canadians are typically polite, but some are rather bad tempered. Dear Muslims, it would be wise to stop protesting and disrupting traffic on our streets.

The point is there was and continues to be constant lies told about Mo the filthy schmo. He was hated in life and continues to be hated in his death. I guess those who follow him need a come-uppamce and neew to do penance and change who they worshit because he is the worst ,
PRCS says
If Adams was not aware of her background, shame on his staff.
If he did, and appointed her anyway, shame on him.

Like George Orwell Animal Farm some animals are “more” equal then some other animals. This little animal is at the top of the equality , victim retribution identity woke list .Her feelings and base wants ,appointed entitlement over rule any holding to the good old fashion golden rule We in society who do better thru hard work ,intelligence ,working by the rules of law , must pay a special penalty to the lawless little piggies , the people who hate us because we are the wrong color(white) or the wrong religion (Christian or Jewish) that believe we should have to live in fear from jihadist and their woke appeasers who envy our communities accomplishments .

What a fake, made-up job title costing taxpayers the jizya so she can promote anti-white and Judeo-Christian values.

You know who doesn’t believe in any form of racial equity?
aLLAH
“On that day when faces will be blackened…as for those whose faces have been blackened..it will be said unto them Disbelieved ye after your profession of belief?
Then TASTE THE PUNISHMENT fo that you disbelieved”
koran 3:106
aLLAH allows only people whose “faces have been WHITENED” into his weird “paradise”{koran 3:107}You can’t enter allah’s paradise if you have a BLACK face..allah thinks you are either a slave or a bad person.
In islam shaitan is..black.
The muslims won’t tell you that.Note how allah judges by complexion of face.
It is not a metaphor as allah clearly doesn’t like anyone with a black face.
A Black face==”Taste the punishment .”
A White face=”In the mercy of allah they dwell for ever”
Blougeoisie says
That’s the plan. Ethiopia got rid of their Jews and now they are hoping for Hamas to finish the job.
