EMET ACTION ALERT: Contact Senator Elizabeth Warren’s Office and Tell Her Not to Appear at a Conference With Known Terrorists!
On June 4th and 5th, Senator Elizabeth Warren is due to be a keynote speaker
at the annual Palestine Digital Advocacy Forum (PDAF). Unfortunately, as has
been pointed out by the non-governmental organization End Jew Hatred, this
conference features several individuals who have been closely affiliated with
- or have written staunch support of - groups that fall under the U.S.
Department of State designation of Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).
For example, one speaker is Neveen Abu Rahmoun who is a member of
7Amleh’s Board of Directors. 7Amleh is a self-described “Palestinian human
rights and digital rights organization”. Immediately after the brutal HAMAS,
October 7th massacre of 1200 Israeli and foreign citizens and civilians, and
the abduction into Gaza of approximately 235, Neveen posted on her
Facebook page, “The Palestine resistance is imposing a new stage since the
beginning of the Al-Aqsa flood operation by resistance fighters infiltrating
into numerous Israeli neighborhoods and settlements. The message of the
resistance is clear, it has started and it shall escalate and shall impose a new
reality.”
In December 2015, Ms. Abu Rahmoun shared a post glorifying the notorious
terrorist Samir Kuntar, a Lebanese member of the Palestine Liberation Front
and Hezbollah – like HAMAS, each designated by the U.S. Department of
State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). It was Samir Kuntar who in
April 1979 led a raid to Nahariya, Israel where he attempted to kidnap a
family, murdered an Israeli policeman, and murdered a 4-year-old little girl
by crushing her skull. In December 2015, the US Department of States
designated Samir Kuntar as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SGPT).
Another presenter is Ahmad Qadi, also a member of 7amleh’s Monitoring
Committee and a Documentation Officer and Databank Coordinator of Al
Haq. NGO Monitor describes Al Haq as the leader of the anti-Israel “lawfare”
and BDS campaigns. The General Director of Al Haq, Shawaan Jabarin has
been linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – another FTO
as designated by the U.S. Department of State.
One PDAF sponsor is American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) whose
conferences often feature speakers who are family members of senior
HAMAS leadership figures. AMP often publishes fundraising appeals for
prisoners who have been connected to the Holy Land Foundation trial. AMP is
also the supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which is now
under federal investigation for charitable fraud and for serving as the
philanthropic and propaganda arm for HAMAS in the United States.
Another PDAF sponsor is Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), which on October 7
th posted “the source of all this violence” was “Israeli apartheid and occupation
- and United States complicity in that oppression.”
The values of these people are antithetical to American values. This is no
place for a US Senator who serves on the all-important Senate Armed
Services Committee.
Please call Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office at (202) 224-4543 and tell her that she has no place among these organizations that are affiliated with or are sympathetic
to terrorists.
