She endorsed Islamic terror groups. Now, the Biden Admin chose her to tackle ‘hate and violence.

Education Secretary ⁣Miguel Cardona recently held a meeting with ⁢an anti-Israel ‌activist who ‌has ⁢expressed ⁤support for Hamas and‌ Hezbollah,‌ and advocated for violence against⁢ Israel.

Cardona met with 13‍ activists, including Lina Assi, ⁤the advocacy manager of Palestine Legal, to address​ the concerning rise of hate and threats of violence in schools and ⁤college campuses following Hamas’s attack on Israel. Assi has referred to Iran and its terrorist proxy, ⁢Hezbollah, as “crucial ‌and important” in their resistance against imperialism in ⁣the ​Middle East.⁢ As a student activist, she even ‍led a crowd in chanting “Viva, viva Intifada,” which ⁣calls for a violent‌ uprising ⁣against the Jewish state.

Assi’s organization represents Students for ‍Justice in Palestine, an anti-Israel student group that projected​ the pro-Hamas statement⁢ “Glory to our martyrs” on buildings at George Washington University. Palestine Legal is also representing‍ the⁤ Students for Justice ⁢in Palestine chapter at⁣ the University of Florida, which was expelled from campus⁤ for⁣ expressing solidarity with Hamas in its “Day of Resistance⁤ Toolkit.”

This meeting with Cardona is just​ one⁤ example of the Biden administration recruiting individuals⁣ sympathetic to ⁣terrorists for their anti-terrorism‍ initiatives. The White House previously enlisted the Council on American-Islamic⁣ Relations (CAIR), an organization that allegedly funded Hamas ⁢front groups‌ in⁢ the past and blamed Israel for the recent attack. ‌Additionally, the​ Department of Homeland Security has granted millions of ‌dollars to mosques that have promoted anti-Semitic views and condoned Hamas’s attack ⁣on Israel.

Cardona’s meeting with Assi took place shortly after⁣ she urged the Department‍ of Education to address the surge ⁤in anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic racism on campuses across the country. In⁢ a letter to the department, Assi⁣ claimed that “Israel blatantly conducts a genocide in Palestine.”

Cardona also met ⁢with officials from ⁢other groups, such as Emgage, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, ​and‍ Arab American Institute, all of which have blamed ​Israel for provoking the Hamas attack. Furthermore, an official from the Muslim Students‌ Association, who attended the meeting, has made controversial⁣ statements suggesting Israel’s involvement in ‌Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia ring.

In 2017, Assi faced an investigation at McMaster University in Canada after her​ tweets advocating violence ​against Israel came to light. She even shared a Hamas parliamentarian’s sermon calling Israel “the vilest ​and‍ most despicable nation in history.”

Assi‌ has consistently expressed support​ for Hezbollah and Iran’s resistance against imperialism in the⁤ region. She commended their role ⁢and acknowledged their material ​support, military training, and safe havens for the Popular Front for the Liberation of ⁤Palestine, a terrorist group responsible for suicide bombings and airplane hijackings in​ the ‍past.

In a protest ⁢in Toronto in 2019, Assi ⁣led demonstrators in chanting ⁣”Viva, ‍viva Intifada,” emphasizing the Palestinians’ right to resist by any means necessary. She ⁢has also ‍promoted a “resistance arts” scholarship in honor of ‌Ghassan Kanafani, a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of‍ Palestine.

It remains unclear whether the‍ Department ​of ‍Education was aware​ of Assi’s remarks prior to hosting‌ her, and both the agency and ‌Palestine⁤ Legal have ⁣not ‌responded to requests for comment.
