From the Washington Free Beacon: Kamala Harris’s newly appointed head of Arab-American outreach once accused Zionists of “controlling” American politics, echoing an anti-Semitic trope that suggests Jews nefariously manipulate global affairs.
“The Zionists have a strong voice in American politics,” Brenda Abdelall, an Egyptian-American lawyer and former Department of Homeland Security official, said in a 2002 interview with the New York Sun while attending the American Muslim Council’s annual convention. “I would say they’re controlling a lot of it.”
Abdelall, whom Harris tapped earlier this week to help galvanize Arab voters, made the remarks after a speaker at the event, anti-Israel professor Jamil Fayez, said that “Zionists are destroying America.” Responding to his remarks, Abdelall said that while “‘destroying’ is a harsh word,” supporters of the Jewish state do control American politics.
The American Muslim Council’s 2002 confab also provided attendees with a chance to meet anti-Semitic former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D., Ga.), who famously blamed Jews for the 9/11 terror attack and attended a 2009 Holocaust-denial gathering in London. Her father similarly blamed Jews when she lost her congressional seat shortly after the 2002 conference. “Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-E-W-S,” he said.
The report explains that Abdelall is a veteran of the anti-Israel advocacy world, and her mother “founded the American Muslim Council’s Ann Arbor branch, helping the anti-Israel advocacy group expand its presence across the country.”
Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign said it has hired Brenda Abdelall, an Egyptian American lawyer, to help lead outreach to Arab American voters who hold sway in some states that could help decide the Nov. 5 election. Read more: https://t.co/bKfXA5w5ZH pic.twitter.com/fTEVA0cu2A
