‘Squad’-backed NJ Democrat who volunteered with Al Qaeda-linked group wins primary to replace Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman
Adam Hamawy , an Egypt-born former combat surgeon who once volunteered with an Al Qaeda-linked group in Bosnia, emerged victorious Tuesday in the Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat.
Hamawy — a staunch critic of Israel who was endorsed by “Squad” Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), as well as socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — was the top vote-getter in the crowded Democratic primary race for the Garden State’s deep-blue 12th Congressional District.
An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.
However, Hamawy’s 1994 internship with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, and his association with the infamous “Blind Sheikh” have also drawn scrutiny.
The 9/11 Commission Report described the now-defunct Benevolence International Foundation’s operation in Bosnia as part of an “impressive array of offices [that] covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activities” by Osama bin Laden in the 1990s.
Authorities alleged in a 2003 court filing that Benevolence International was used by the terror group as a front “to establish a base for operations in Europe against Al Qaeda’s true enemy, the United States.”
Jewish Insider first uncovered Hamawy’s past work with the foundation.
Hamawy was never charged or faced any accusations of involvement with Islamic terrorism. A spokesperson for his campaign described attacks on Hamawy’s work with the foundation as “desperate,” “absurd” and “bigoted.”
Hamawy also had a yearslong relationship with Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman , who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995 after his followers carried out the bombing of the World Trade Center two years earlier.
Hamawy was called as a defense witness to dispute a government informant’s accusations that Abdel-Rahman urged his followers to murder then-Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
At trial, the future Democratic congressional hopeful also testified that comments Abdel-Rahman made about “conquering the land of the infidels” were being taken “out of context” by prosecutors, according to a transcript of proceedings.

So we've learned the Democratic Party is now okay with fans of the SS and people who volunteered for an Al-Queda front group and testify on behalf of World Trade Center bombers.
They've always had a soft spot for communist fan boys (Bernie Sanders and company) so they've pretty much created a big tent to totalitarians and terrorists and their dependents. Look what's happened to the party in the last ten years. If this continues, in ten more years they'll be using taxpayer dollars to reward suicide bombers and against non progressives.
...nothing.
What a bunch of bullshit. Claiming shit like the WEAKEST fucking link to a supposed "Al Queda-linked" group in Bosnia. He's a fucking combat surgeon and as they explain, "Hamawy was never charged or faced any accusations of involvement with Islamic terrorism." But here the sorry loser dishonest dipshit MAGA NY Post is flinging poo at this guy because he's running as a Democrat and flinging poo is all stupid moron monkeys can do.
I would say nice attempt, but this wasn't even close to being a well thought out hit piece. It's just a bunch of useless half-facts cobbled together like some 6th graders homework assignment in a subject they're failing. Only those with severe brain damage would believe this nonsense.
This is who chose to work for. He chose to associate with, and testify on behalf of, the WTC bomber.
But watch all the hand waiving from the left about how this is all completely normal. Who doesn't volunteer for terrorist fronts and testify for one of the world's most famous cheerleaders for Jihad. Nazi tattoos? Who among us hasn't gotten one? Right? No big deal!
The really sad part is they are either in complete denial about what their party has become and simply can't face the truth or they secretly welcome it but are too ashamed to admit it publicly yet.
n ever charged or faced any accusations of involvement with Islamic terrorism
Imagine citing that like it's something to be proud of. I guess that's their line.
They'll happily support any antisemitic jihad supporter who doesn't actually commit an act of terrorism agains the US themselves (as of now). Provide material and moral support to terrorists trying to kill Americans? Fine and dandy!
Oh, so now charges being filed matters. That does away with your ENTIRE retarded anti-Trump rhetoric.
Additionally, it shows that you (collectively) morons support enemies of the United States. And you're not smart enough to see the problem.
More highly qualified congressional candidates for our friends on the left.
Amazing!
A Nazi and now an al-Queda operative. Both enemies to the United States. Democrats just love their terrorists.
And somehow Conservatives and Republicans are the threat to the country.
And the fact that you don't even see how completely insane you sound is the most shocking thing to me.
And yet I don't see you proving me, or this article wrong. Although it's not that I'm really surprised.
No proof has been presented of either of your claims so there is no need to prove otherwise. The entirety of your claim he's a Nazi is a 'Deaths head' skull and crossbones tattoo that anyone NOT into that shit wouldn't even think was connected to the Nazi's.
No swastikas, nothing directly crying out "Nazi" unless you do some research. Should he have done his research? Absolutely. Does this tattoo, on its own, definitively prove he's a Nazi? Of course not, that would be MONUMENTALY stupid to assume. Now, if someone making the claim he's a Nazi was able to show he's been to rally's flying swastika flags or had been shouting white power slogans or doing ANYTHING else remotely "Nazi", then they might be making a reasonable argument that deserves a response. As it is, I see nothing that's been presented by those on the right worth more than a warm jar of piss.
And this article from the moronic servile Trump ball licking NY Post doesn't make ANY factual connection to terrorism, but that clearly doesn't stop the gullible idiots from lapping it up and pretending it means something.
OMG!! Say it isn't so!! Is that supposed to be the bombshell in this guy's background? That he's a volunteer combat surgeon saving people's lives on the battlefield?
He is, of course, obsessed with militarism and posted about constantly about it on reddit. They type of guy who sees an American solider shot and posts that he hopes he died. The idea that he "didn't know" what the tattoos on his body meant is almost as damning as if he did.
But of course, he did. As CNN confirmed.
I s that supposed to be the bombshell in this guy's background? T
Yeah, volunteering for an Al-Qaeda linked group is fucking horrible. Does that really need to be said? By trying to normalize it you are proving me correct. So thanks.
One would have to be retarded to not know the correlation between the tat and the Nazi. But then again, here we are.
Oh quit your fkng crying. You're upset because it's telling you facts you don't want to acknowledge. You could have easily just scrolled past it but something here triggered you and now you have to cry about it.
Interesting what lengths you will go to defend this guy while complaining about others that don't buy into your Trump hysteria.
Like I said, I don't give a shit about this guy, he seems like a bit of an arrogant dick and I would have assumed he was MAGA had he not run as a Democrat. But I'm not such a fool as to believe the bullshit narrative being crafted and pushed by the NY Post and Trump sycophants that's thinner than the skin on a plum. So, when you call it a defense that's an obvious exaggeration as the paper-thin claims made so far require no defense, they're already so full of holes they're falling apart on their own.
Can you imagine the reaction from the TDS ridden if Trump had that tattoo? They would go absolutely nuts. Thus demonstrating the egregious level of hypocrisy baked into those of that psyche.
They would be calling for his impeachment. Well, they do that every week anyway.
That's what I have a problem with. I watched Republicans feckless war in Iraq that costs American lives and treasure for almost two decades, that taxpayers paid for so that the Republican business partners could get fucking rich all because Iraq was supposedly "Al-Qaeda linked". There were soooo many bullshit or watery thin connections at best with so many groups after 9/11 it's not even funny. But of course, the backwoods bigots want to believe their parties toady's that everyone accused must be an American hating terrorist. I'm just not buying it unless there is something more than an 'accusation' of a 'link' to a group in Bosnia where a number of disparate groups were fighting for their own causes where if any one of them bought a rifle from someone "linked to Al-Quada" they're now apparently as guilty as the 9/11 bombers. What utter bullshit. You say, "Does that really need to be said?" as if it's an open and shut case when its anything but open and shut. It's not even proved why or how this group is supposedly connected or whether this guy knew there was any connection or if he simply volunteered to help patch up wounded in a civil war. On that alone MAGAites are ready to metaphorically string him up as they're so inclined to do with anyone that dares challenge their rule. But here I go, rambling on assuming others might have actually put a tiny bit of thought into what they're screaming about as they smear some guy's name that they've never met or even heard of before simply because he dared run as a Democrat. My bad.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the guy who has been humping the leg of those actually linked to Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks...

Oh, but do please continue with your faux outrage over this combat medic. Don't let logic, facts or reality get in the way of a good ol' fashioned internet lynching. /s
