Imagine if some “Islamophobe” said “F*** jihad.” It would be all over the Leftist “news” outlets, with the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center trumpeting it as evidence of “hate.” But no one will take any notice of this.

“CAIR Chapter Leader: ‘F*** Zionism,'” by Teri Blumenfeld, IPT News, December 5, 2019:

So that’s how the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) deals with “Zionism on [a] daily basis”?

Less than a week after CAIR co-founder and Executive Director Nihad Awad saidcombating the idea of a Jewish homeland is a daily mission at his “civil rights” group, National Strategic Communications Director Ahmed Rehab posted an ugly rant cursing and vilifying Zionists and France.

“F*** Zionism. And F*** you too France,” Rehab wrote.

Rehab, who also runs CAIR’s Chicago office, was reacting to a French Parliament decision to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) anti-Semitism definition. “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination,” the crux of Zionism, is among the main examples of anti-Semitism cited.

According to Mr. Rehab, this resolution shows that France wants “to criminalize peaceful free speech that dares to criticize murderous, plunderous, thieving apartheid that mauls with impunity under the auspices of wealthy hyper-militarized super powers. F*********** you. (Apologies for my French).”

This week’s resolution was proposed by French Parliament Member Sylvan Maillard in response to the alarming escalation of anti-Semitic acts in France.

“For some years now, France, the whole of Europe, but also almost all Western democracies are facing a rise in antisemitism,” Maillard’s resolution states. “Anti-Zionist acts can at times hide antisemitic realities. Hate toward Israel due to its perception as a Jewish collective is akin to hatred toward the entire Jewish community.” In France today, “dirty Zionist… means dirty Jew,” Maillard told the French newspaper La Croix.

Days before, however, Rehab was busy on “Giving Tuesday” posting solicitations for donations to benefit CAIR Chicago. CAIR’s mission, he wrote Monday, is “to fight bigotry, protect civil liberties, promote mutual understanding, and mobilize Muslim communities …”

“F*** Zionism. And F*** you too France” is an odd way to “promote mutual understanding.”

But it is consistent rhetoric from a CAIR official. The organization urged supporters to lobby against the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2019.” The Act would direct the Department of Education to adopt the same IHRA definition of anti-Semitism that set Rehab off this week. The State Department embraced the language in 2016….
