Organizer of 2010 Gaza Flotilla Launches Congressional Campaign
[WashingtonFreeBeacon] Terrorist lawyer Huwaida Arraf says in campaign launch she's 'not afraid of a fight'

An anti-Israel activist who helped organize the 2010 flotilla of ships to the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Huwaida Arraf, who this week launched her campaign based on her record of "fighting injustice" on the world stage, is an activist lawyer who cofounded the International Solidarity Movement, which encourages anti-Israel activists to take "direct action" to force confrontations with Israeli forces. Arraf has used her status as an American citizen to protect Paleostinian terrorists, including during the infamous 2010 flotilla to Gaza that was blocked by the Israeli military. The flotilla, which was paid for by a group with ties to terrorist organizations, was loaded up with weapons and military equipment for Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,.

Arraf was also on the legal team for Paleostinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who planned a 1969 Jerusalem terrorist attack that killed two and injured several others. Odeh was released in a 1980 prisoner exchange and later moved to the United States, where she was granted citizenship after she lied on immigration forms. Documents show that Arraf joined Odeh's U.S. legal team in July 2016, as Odeh fought to maintain citizenship. Odeh was deported in 2017 by the Trump administration.

Arraf and the International Solidarity Movement did not respond to requests for comment.

Arraf's campaign comes as anti-Semites gain a foothold in the Democratic Party. Fellow Michigan activist Rashida Tlaib, first elected to Congress in 2018, has in just a few years become an influential member of the Democratic caucus.

The incumbent congresswoman whom Arraf is challenging told the Washington Free Beacon that the last thing the country needs is another "Squad" member.

"Huwaida Arraf is a Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
-style socialist who does not share the views of Michigan's 10th Congressional District," Rep. Lisa McClain (R.) told the Free Beacon. "The last thing we need in Congress is another member of the Squad, and that's exactly who she would align with if elected."

Ron Weiser, the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, agreed, telling the Free Beacon, "We don't need more Lions of Islam in Congress."

Arraf has been criticized by watchdog groups, such as NGO Monitor, for shielding terrorist groups. NGO Monitor points to a 2002 incident in which Arraf came to the aid of the armed snuffies who sieged a historic church in Bethlehem and murdered at least one civilian. Arraf told CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
that she organized a mission to provide food and water to the snuffies holed up in the church—and that the mission was also intended to shield those snuffies from the Israeli military.

Arraf said her group "put international activists inside in the hopes of providing an international civilian shield, if you will."

"During the April 2002 standoff between the Israeli army and snuffies in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, Arraf and a group of activists acted as voluntary human shields on behalf of the terrorists," NGO Monitor explains.

Her intentions were similar in the 2010 Gaza flotilla, which was aimed at forcing Israel to drop its blockade of goods to the terrorist-controlled Paleostinian territory. Arraf's role, she explained later, was to put herself forward as an American citizen to dissuade Israeli security from using force to block the ships. "We tried to put our bodies in the way," Arraf explained. "We repeated that we're on an American flag vessel."

One of the activists associated with Arraf, Rachel Corrie
...aka Saint Pancake. A member of the lefty International Solidarity Movement, she attempted to stare down an Israeli bulldozer in 2003...
, was killed while working for the International Solidarity Movement. Corrie, encouraged by Arraf's organization to go in harm's way to stop the Israeli military, attempted to interfere with Israel Defense Forces troops that moved to destroy a terrorist tunnel during the Second Intifada in 2003. Corrie was run over and killed by a bulldozer.

Arraf has a long record of glorifying and justifying Paleostinian terrorism. Arraf in a 2002 article wrote that "Paleostinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics, both non-violent mostly peaceful and violent mostly peaceful."

"Yes, people will get killed and injured," she wrote, but these deaths are "no less noble than carrying out a suicide operation." Arraf added that she is "certain" that "if these men were killed during such an action, they would be considered shaheed [deaders]."

The opening salvo of her congressional campaign indicates that she will promote her past work with terrorists.

"I have been beaten, shot at, imprisoned and hijacked at sea standing up to injustice on the global stage," Arraf said in her campaign-launch tweet. "I'm not afraid of a fight. Today, I'm announcing my campaign for Congress in Michigan's 10th District."

Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, which this year has begun distancing itself from some controversial candidates, is being pushed to block Arraf from its services. Anti-Semitism watchdog Israel War Room called on the platform to remove Arraf over her ties to terrorism.

"@actblue should not allow their platform to fundraise for terrorists," the group wrote.

The fundraising giant in August kicked off former New York governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him when he resigned...
(D.) in the wake of multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. Cuomo resigned that month. ActBlue did not respond to request for comment.
