EXCLUSIVE: Congress wants Muslim Brotherhood listed as a terrorist organization, action on anti-Semitism: "'Free Palestine' has become the modern-day 'Heil Hitler'”

THE LOWDOWN:

• Days after a terrorist attack in the streets of Washington, D.C. saw an anti-Semite murder two Israeli embassy staff, an illegal immigrant from Egypt who overstayed his visa was arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails at a group of Jews in Boulder, Colorado.

• Both Jewish and non-Jewish lawmakers alike told the Washington Reporter that the attack is an outgrowth of the radical left’s coddling of pro-Hamas protesters in America.

• Rep. Randy Fine, a newcomer to Congress and one of a handful of federally elected Jewish Republicans, added that “we need to classify groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and Students for Palestine and its allies for what they are: terrorist organizations.”

• The horrors of the latest attack left many wondering what can be done to stop the terror attacks. As such, a bipartisan group of lawmakers just rolled out legislation they hope can help solve the problem.

Days after a terrorist attack in the streets of Washington, D.C. saw an anti-Semite murder two Israeli embassy staff, an illegal immigrant from Egypt who overstayed his visa was arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails at a group of Jews in Boulder, Colorado.

Now, following these acts of anti-Semitic terror, Congress wants action and to classify groups like the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.

Both Jewish and non-Jewish lawmakers alike told the Washington Reporter that the attack is an outgrowth of the radical left’s coddling of pro-Hamas protesters in America.

“It’s time to call evil by its name: Palestinianism,” Rep. Randy Fine (R., Fla.), told the Reporter. “America must stop dancing around one of the clearest threats to our national security and our Judeo-Christian values.”

“Today, these Muslim terrorists are coming for our Jewish children. Next, they’ll come for our Christian grandchildren,” Fine warned.

Fine, a newcomer to Congress and one of a handful of federally elected Jewish Republicans, added that “we need to classify groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, and Students for Palestine and its allies for what they are: terrorist organizations.”

“And any visitor to our country who associates with that should be immediately deported, along with any family members they brought along with them,” Fine declared. “What we saw in Boulder this weekend was a window into a radical culture that rejects American life and embraces hate.”

“‘Free Palestine’ has become the modern-day ‘Heil Hitler,’” he added.

Rep. Max Miller (R., Ohio), another Jewish lawmaker, told the Reporter that “this violence is the direct result of a relentless campaign to demonize Israel and the Jewish people.”

“These terrorists scream ‘free Palestine’ while attacking innocent people. They aren’t hiding the ball, they want to see people like me dead,” he said. “Those who want to give Hamas supporters an inch of support, this is what they want.”

“They want Jews to be hunted down,” Miller cautioned.

Others in Congress echoed to the Reporter that these “pro-terrorism protests and anti-Semitic behavior [are] erupting across our country.”

Rep. Mike Simpson (R., Idaho), a veteran House Republican, said. “Whether in the streets or on college campuses, this behavior should outrage all Americans. There must be consequences, and there must be accountability.”

“Threats have escalated into violence,” Simpson added. “Dangerous rhetoric has now turned into gunfire and Molotov cocktails. This is extremism and enough is enough.”

The horrors of the latest attack left many wondering what can be done to stop the terror attacks. As such, a bipartisan group of lawmakers just rolled out legislation they hope can help solve the problem.

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R., Iowa), whose newest legislation would establish a commission to study anti-Semitism in America, specifically referenced the latest terrorist attacks in her rationale for the bill.

“First and foremost, we must acknowledge that antisemitism is real and rising in this country,” Miller-Meeks told the Reporter. “The fatal shooting of a young couple outside the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C., and the recent terrorist attack on peaceful marchers in Boulder are heartbreaking reminders of how urgent this issue has become.”

“These acts underscore why we need a thorough national overview to understand the scope of the problem and take real steps to stop it,” she said.

Jewish leaders told the Reporter that Miller-Meeks’s bill is a breath of fresh air. Bonnie Glick, who helped found Maryland’s Sister-State relationship with Israel, noted to the Reporter that “America and Americans have been shaken to the core by the cold-blooded attacks and murders of Jews on the streets of our cities.”

“A commission report that is actionable — one that coordinates data from law enforcement, from the Jewish community, and from colleges and universities — will shed light on the cancer that is spreading through the United States,” Glick said. “That cancer is anti-Semitism.”

President Donald Trump is also highlighting this terrorist act to make the case that America needs a strong border.

Alexa Henning, the deputy chief of staff for Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, explained how Biden’s open border is responsible for the terrorist entering America.

“This is exactly what happened,” Henning explained. “He was granted a tourist visa by Biden admin & then illegally overstayed the visa. [The National Counter Terrorism Center] has ID’ed 1200 illegals with terror ties that were allowed to remain in the U.S. by Biden.”

“They had all applied for asylum and were allowed to wait in the U.S. because Biden eliminated [the] Remain in Mexico policy,” Henning added.
