Assi has referred to Iran and its terrorist proxy, \u2062Hezbollah, as &#8220;crucial \u200cand important&#8221; in their resistance against imperialism in \u2063the \u200bMiddle East.\u2062 As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/student-activists-at-catholic-university-protest-mlks-pro-life-trump-supporting-niece\/\" title=\"Student Activists At Catholic University Protest MLK\u2019s Pro-Life, Trump-Supporting Niece\">student activist<\/a>, she even \u200dled a crowd in chanting &#8220;Viva, viva Intifada,&#8221; which \u2063calls for a violent\u200c uprising \u2063against the Jewish state.<\/p>\n<p>Assi&#8217;s organization represents Students for \u200dJustice in Palestine, an anti-Israel student group that projected\u200b the pro-Hamas statement\u2062 &#8220;Glory to our martyrs&#8221; on buildings at George Washington University. Palestine Legal is also representing\u200d the\u2064 Students for Justice \u2062in Palestine chapter at\u2063 the University of Florida, which was expelled from campus\u2064 for\u2063 expressing solidarity with Hamas in its &#8220;Day of Resistance\u2064 Toolkit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This meeting with Cardona is just\u200b one\u2064 example of the Biden administration recruiting individuals\u2063 sympathetic to \u2063terrorists for their anti-terrorism\u200d initiatives. The White House previously enlisted the Council on American-Islamic\u2063 Relations (CAIR), an organization that allegedly funded Hamas \u2062front groups\u200c in\u2062 the past and blamed Israel for the recent attack. \u200cAdditionally, the\u200b Department of Homeland Security has granted millions of \u200cdollars to mosques that have promoted anti-Semitic views and condoned Hamas&#8217;s attack \u2063on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Cardona&#8217;s meeting with Assi took place shortly after\u2063 she urged the Department\u200d of Education to address the surge \u2064in anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic racism on campuses across the country. In\u2062 a letter to the department, Assi\u2063 claimed that &#8220;Israel blatantly conducts a genocide in Palestine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cardona also met \u2062with officials from \u2062other groups, such as Emgage, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, \u200band\u200d Arab American Institute, all of which have blamed \u200bIsrael for provoking the Hamas attack. Furthermore, an official from the Muslim Students\u200c Association, who attended the meeting, has made controversial\u2063 statements suggesting Israel&#8217;s involvement in \u200cJeffrey Epstein&#8217;s pedophilia ring.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Assi faced an investigation at McMaster University in Canada after her\u200b tweets advocating violence \u200bagainst Israel came to light. She even shared a Hamas parliamentarian&#8217;s sermon calling Israel &#8220;the vilest \u200band\u200d most despicable nation in history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Assi\u200c has consistently expressed support\u200b for Hezbollah and Iran&#8217;s resistance against imperialism in the\u2064 region. She commended their role \u2062and acknowledged their material \u200bsupport, military training, and safe havens for the Popular Front for the Liberation of \u2064Palestine, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/morning-wire-americans-stranded-in-afghanistan-the-state-of-al-qaeda-nyc-businesses-sue-over-vaccine-mandate\/\" title=\"Morning Wire: Americans Stranded In Afghanistan, The State Of Al Qaeda, NYC Businesses Sue Over Vaccine Mandate\">terrorist group responsible<\/a> for suicide bombings and airplane hijackings in\u200b the \u200dpast.<\/p>\n<p>In a protest \u2062in Toronto in 2019, Assi \u2063led demonstrators in chanting \u2063&#8221;Viva, \u200dviva Intifada,&#8221; emphasizing the Palestinians&#8217; right to resist by any means necessary. She \u2062has also \u200dpromoted a &#8220;resistance arts&#8221; scholarship in honor of \u200cGhassan Kanafani, a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of\u200d Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear whether the\u200d Department \u200bof \u200dEducation was aware\u200b of Assi&#8217;s remarks prior to hosting\u200c her, and both the agency and \u200cPalestine\u2064 Legal have \u2063not \u200cresponded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does \u2063Lina Assi&#8217;s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-she-ever-fly-the-flag-maybe-just-once-for-us-bill-hemmer-katie-pavlich-call-out-ilhan-omar-over-extreme-comments\/\" title=\"\u2018Can She Ever Fly The Flag Maybe Just Once For Us?\u2019: Bill Hemmer, Katie Pavlich Call Out Ilhan Omar Over \u2018Extreme\u2019 Comments\">designated terrorist organizations<\/a>, impact her \u200deligibility\u200c for any position \u200cof authority or influence within our government?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Dollars to \u200corganizations with ties to terrorism, including\u200d the Islamic Relief Agency, which was found\u2063 guilty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gottheimer-insane-to-remove-irgc-from-terror-list-milley-opposed-it-and-they-attacked-us\/\" title=\"Gottheimer: 'Insane' to Remove IRGC from Terror List, Milley Opposed It and They Attacked Us\">funding terrorist organizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u2062deeply \u200btroubling\u2062 that individuals\u200d with such radical and extremist views are being given a platform and influence within \u2064our government. Lina Assi&#8217;s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, both designated terrorist organizations by \u2064the United States,\u2064 should \u200ddisqualify her from\u2063 any position of \u200cauthority \u200bor influence.<\/p>\n<p>By associating with individuals and organizations\u2064 that promote violence and terrorism,\u200b the Biden administration is sending a dangerous \u2062message to the American people \u200band the international community. It undermines \u200cthe efforts of countries around the world that \u2062are working tirelessly to combat terrorism and promote peace.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this meeting raises serious concerns about \u200cthe Biden administration&#8217;s stance\u200b on Israel.\u2064 Cardona&#8217;s \u2063decision\u2064 to meet with someone \u2064who openly advocates for violence against Israel and supports organizations \u200bresponsible for attacks on innocent civilians is deeply troubling. It sends a message\u2064 that the United States\u2064 is\u2063 not committed to standing with its closest ally in the Middle\u2064 East.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is a democratic nation\u2062 that \u200dshares our\u200d values and has \u2063been a steadfast ally in the fight against terrorism. It is\u200b crucial \u200cthat the United States continues to support\u2063 and stand by Israel in the face of ongoing \u2062threats \u2062and attacks. The meeting \u2062with Lina\u2064 Assi and other anti-Israel activists only\u2063 serves to undermine\u2064 this important\u2064 alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration must reconsider its associations\u200c and take a firm\u2064 stance against\u200d individuals and organizations that support terrorism.\u200b By\u200c doing\u2064 so, they can send a clear message that the United\u200c States is\u200b committed to combating\u200d terrorism\u2063 and standing with its allies.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200b conclusion, \u200bthe meeting \u200dbetween Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Lina Assi, an anti-Israel activist who supports Hamas and Hezbollah, is deeply concerning. It highlights \u2064the Biden administration&#8217;s disturbing associations with individuals and organizations that promote violence and terrorism. The \u200cUnited States \u2063must \u200ctake a strong stand against \u200dterrorism and reaffirm its commitment to its closest ally, \u200dIsrael.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lina Assi, who praised Hezbollah as crucial and important.
