Jewish Hatred EXPOSED Inside DHS and State Department
At a heated congressional hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley (MO) grilled Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas over a DHS employee calling for the destruction of Israel and the Jews. How can such dangerous antisemitic rhetoric by U.S. government employees be acceptable?
After asking about the prospect of revoking visas from foreign students calling for the destruction of Israel and Jewish people, Hawley read one such social media post and asked for Mayorkas’ opinion on the rhetoric.
“What about people who say things like, on October the seventh, ‘F Israel’ — I’m cleaning up the language here — ‘F Israel, the government and its military, are you ready for your downfall?’ People who say things like, ‘F Israel and any Jew who supports Israel. May your conscience haunt your dreams until your last breath. Palestine will be free one day. F apartheid Israel,’ This is pretty extreme rhetoric, don’t you think?” . . .
“This person works for you,” [Hawley] said, noting the DHS worker in question is “an employee of the Department of Homeland Security who posted these comments.”
Hawley then asked if such a social post was “typical of people who work for the DHS.”
Sec. Mayorkas quipped that such a description doesn’t fit all DHS employees. Then he admitted the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employee, Newja Ali, was on administrative leave.
Don’t forget that October 7th was the same day the terrorists brutally attacked Israel. So as America reacted to the aftermath of the ruthless massacre of 1,400 Jewish men, women, and children, this radical DHS employee publicly celebrated the slaughter.
But this radicalization of U.S. government employees doesn’t just end at DHS. A State Department Foreign Service Officer, Fritz Berggren, infamously wrote a blog post titled “Jews are Not God’s Chosen People. Judeo-Christian is Anti-Christ.” He also has a podcast where he routinely proclaims vitriol toward the Jewish people.
Berggren has posted antisemitic blogs and podcasts for years yet still remains on staff at the State Department. How can such a dangerous individual be a Foreign Service Officer? Our tax dollars pay his salary as he spews antisemitic nonsense – without any consequences.
The national security risks of employing such radicals are inestimable. The world is on fire right now in the Middle East, yet the Biden Administration keeps such dangerous people on the payroll.
Not only do we have to worry about homeland security threats coming across the southern border, but we also have to worry about threats coming in the front door. When will the insanity stop?
ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou cast the blame for this ongoing radicalization within the U.S. government on one person:
Where is the President of the United States? That’s what I want to know. Where’s Joe Biden? The FBI is skulking around Catholic churches, listening to the mass and seeing if there’s anything subversive. We have no control. There is no one in control. And that’s why these agencies are running wild because there’s no one at the helm. The ship has not got a captain. No one is in command of the vessel of the United States. The President of the United States is walking along Rehoboth Beach and having coffee and croissants. He has no idea what he is saying or what he’s doing. The emperor has no clothes, but we won’t say that, and that’s why we’re in this chaos.
The world is on the precipice right now. We need a strong leader willing to identify the true enemies in the world – including those who have infiltrated our own DHS and State Department. Do you think this would have happened under the previous Administration? Of course not.
While antisemitism rises globally, the ACLJ continues to defend Israel. We just sent two new demand letters to the U.N. We addressed the first demand letter to China’s Ambassador to the U.N., who is the president of the U.N. Security Council for Novembrer. We delivered the second demand letter to the other 14 member states U.N. Security Council. Both letters condemn the terrorist attack on Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which cannot be allowed to be a member state at the U.N. We are demanding action.
Today we launched our Faith & Freedom Drive. The ACLJ fights daily to preserve faith and freedom in America and abroad. We also diligently defend Israel. Donate today, and your gift will be doubled. We need your support to fund our mission.
