Despite battling accusations of anti-Semitism, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) is due to speak this month at a fundraising event alongside a senior charity official who has published social media posts praising the killing of Jews. According to the National AE, the group Muslim US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar will be helping to raise money for a group that designated a terrorist organization in 2014 by the United Arab Emirites.

Islamic Relief USA is now hosting a fundraising dinner for aid to Yemen on February 23. Rep. Ilhan Omar is due to speak alongside senior Islamic Relief USA official Yousef Abdallah, who was widely criticized in 2017 after the Middle East Forum found he had expressed violently anti-Semitic ideas on his social media accounts.

From the invite: Guest Speakers

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Imam Belal Alzuhiry, Yemeni-American motivational speaker

Sheikh Muhammad Alzahid – Munshid & Qari

Yousef Abdallah, IRUSA East Zone Manager

Senior official of IR-USA, Yousef Abdallah, who will be appearing with UC Congresswoman Omar this month, published a story praising “martyrs” who provided guns to “kill more than 20 jews” and “fire rockets at Tel Aviv.”Elsewhere, Abdallah published text that referred to Jews as “stinking.”

Abdallah, who serves as Islamic Relief USA’s “operations manager,” shared a “very beautiful” modernized version of a Palestinian folk story about a ‘resistance hero’ named Zharif al-Tawl, who took revenge against Jewish “gangs” – which had purportedly attacked a Palestinian village – by providing guns to “kill more than 20 jews” and “fire rockets at Tel Aviv.”

Other posts referred to Jews as “stinking,” and claim “the Jews put the outside wall of Al Aqsa [the mosque in Jerusalem] on fire.” Abdallah also ‘liked’ a comment on his Facebook post that calls on God to wreak “revenge on the damned rapists Zionists. O God they are no challenge for you. Shake the Earth beneath their feet and destroy them as you destroyed the peoples of ʿĀd, Thamud and Lot.”

On March 31, 2014, New Jersey’s Republican governor, Chris Christie apologized for referring to the West Bank and Gaza as “occupied,”

Abdallah responded to Christie’s tweet, saying: “Christie kneels down on his knees before the Jewish lords and says ‘I am sorry’. Only money makes stuff like this happen. Mr. Christie… Muslims should remember this very well.”

Like Yousef Abdallah, sitting Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted a similar anti-Semitic sentiment only yesterday, using similar language. Omar tweeted: “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” suggesting that support for Jews is all about the money, a typical anti-Semitic comment. Omar’s comment was in response to a Haaretz article retweeted by Intercept writer Glen Greenwald about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who threatened punishment for Omar and her fellow Muslim Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, over their criticisms of Israel.

In January 2018, the Middle East Forum revealed that Islamic Relief USA or IR-USA is a key partner of a Hamas-linked charity in Gaza named the Unlimited Friends Association, which, using money raised in America, gives money to the families of deceased Hamas terrorists.

Despite Islamic Relief’s claims to be a moderate charity, its invitations to the White House and the hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money it has received, the charity has a long history of promoting extremism and violent hatreds of minorities. Yousef Abdallah is a perfect example of Islamic Relief’s duplicity. When he is not in front of the cameras at interfaith events, his private social media posts reveal an intense, violent anti-Semitism. IR-USA is the largest Muslim charity in America. In 2015, it reported total revenue of over $108 million. Between 2015 and 2016, IR-USA received $370,000 of taxpayers’ money, and it has enjoyed hundreds of thousands of dollars from prominent corporate and community foundations across the country.

According to the National Review, Islamic Relief USA fudraises for UFA a group that hands out cash to families of Hamas terrorists killed in the act of terror against Israel.

Abdallah isn’t the only prominent member of Islamic Relief USA to be accused of anti-Semitism. The group designated as a “terrorist organization” in 2015, found itself in hot water after multiple cases of anti-Semitic rhetoric were discovered on the Chairman’s social media accounts.
