As you can see on the first poster Abdallah's name was scrubbed from the Eventbrite listing after a media uproar which exposed Abdallah's anti semitic proclivities. The original poster with Abdallah and Omar can be seen at the bottom of the page. ...(T)he Middle East Forum's Sam Westrop reportsthat Omar is set to speak Feb. 23 at a fundraiserfor Islamic Relief USA. It is a part of Islamic Relief Worldwide, which allegedly has ties to the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Israel and Bangladeshaccusethe organization of helping finance radical groups. Omar will appear with Islamic Relief USA operations manager Yousef Abdallah, who the Middle East Forum foundhad expressed violently anti-Semitic ideas on his social-media accounts. One example Westrop cites indicates he and Omar may share similar ideas. Responding to then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's 2014 apology for describing the "occupied" West Bank and Gaza, Abdallah wrote: "Christie kneels down on his knees before the Jewish lords and says 'I am sorry.' Only money makes stuff like this happen. Mr. Christie. Muslims should remember this very well."... HT: IPT "Abdallah, who serves as Islamic Relief USA's "operations manager,"shared a "very beautiful" modernized version of a Palestinian folk story about a resistance hero named Zharif al-Tawl, who took revenge against Jewish "gangs" that had purportedly attacked a Palestinian village by providing guns to "kill more than 20 jews" and "fire rockets at Tel Aviv." Other posts referred to Jews as "stinking," and claimed that "the Jews put the outside wall of Al Aqsa [the mosque in Jerusalem] on fire. Abdallah also "Liked" a comment on his Facebook post that calls on God to wreak "revenge on the damned rapists Zionists. O God they are no challenge for you. Shake the Earth beneath their feet and destroy them as you destroyed" the peoples of ʿĀd, Thamud and Lot." HT: MEF (Islamist Watch) Islamic Relief has, however, been banned in both Israel and the United Arab Emirates because of its links to terror. MEF's June 2018 report, Islamic Relief: Charity, Extremism and Terror, confirms its ties to extremism in the West and to terrorism-linked groups in the Middle East. ############################################## https://volunteer.irusa.org/opportunity/a1V1Q000007ShgLUAS Opportunity Details ISSUE AREA(S)Worldwide Relief REQUIREMENTS Age Minimum (with Adult): 16+, Minimum Age:16+ Save the Blessed Yemen Emergency Fundraiser | Tampa FLOn Saturday, February 23rd, the South-East Team at Islamic Relief USA will be hosting "Save the Blessed" dinner to support the emergency humanitarian projects for *Yemen* at the Hilton Tampa Airport.
