Former Miss Iraq blasts Abbas: Shame on every leader that gave money to this antisemite
Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan blasts PA chairman as well as world leaders who have provided him with financial assistance.

Sarah Idan, the former Miss Iraq who is known for her support for Israel, blasted Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas over his recent speech in which he claimed that Jews are not Semites and that Adolf Hitler only killed Jews "because they dealt in usury and money".

In a string of posts on X, formerly Twitter, Idan also chastised world leaders who provide financial assistance to Abbas.

“Shame on [President Joe Biden] & MBS & every leader that gave money to this anti-Semite,” she wrote.

“Simple research will show you why everything he said a lie starting with Hitler & his Aryan Race.. their whole cause is based on lies & raging antisemitism,” added Idan.

Idan sparked a storm in 2017 when she took a selfie with Miss Israel. The outcry in her native Iraq over the selfie compelled Idan's family to relocate to the United States, where she had been living.

She visited Israel in June of 2018, where she called for coexistence and regional peace.

Abbas’ speech has been widely condemned. On Thursday, US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Deborah Lipstadt condemned Abbas’ remarks.

"I am appalled by President Abbas’ hateful, anti-Semitic remarks at a recent Fatah meeting. The speech maligned the Jewish people, distorted the Holocaust, and misrepresented the tragic exodus of Jews from Arab countries. I condemn these statements and urge an immediate apology," Lipstadt wrote on X.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) also blasted Abbas’ speech, writing on X, "I strongly condemn Palestinian President Abbas's recent comments, which egregiously distort the horrors of the Holocaust and repeat false tropes about Jews."

"His remarks add fuel to the fire at a time when antisemitism and violence against the community are so alarmingly on the rise," he added.

Anti-cop Minnesota Democratic party official left bloodied in violent carjacking — now calls for tougher crime laws
By Patrick Reilly


A Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party official who once vowed to “dismantle” the Minneapolis Police Department is now calling for tougher crime laws after she was beaten and bloodied in a carjacking outside of her home this week.

Shivanthi Sathanandan, the Second Vice Chairwoman for the DFL, shared news of her attack in a Wednesday Facebook post, where she fumed that the four young suspects need to be brought to justice.

“I have a broken leg, deep lacerations on my head, bruising and cuts all over my body. And I have rage,” wrote Sathanandan, who said the beating occurred in front of her 4-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son at around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday.

“These men knew what they were doing. I have NO DOUBT they have done this before. Yet they are still on OUR STREETS. Killing mothers. Giving babies psychological trauma that a lifetime of therapy cannot ease. With no hesitation and no remorse,” Sathanandan continued.

Included in the post was a selfie of Sathanandan, showing blood pouring down the right side of her face.

“I’m now part of the statistics. I wasn’t silent when I fought these men to save my life and my babies, and I won’t be silent now. We need to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are running wild creating chaos across our city and HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE THEM,” she said.

“Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

Minneapolis police confirmed the carjacking in Sathanandan’s Folwell neighborhood in a statement to KSTP. Her car was later recovered, but no suspects have been arrested.

Sathanandan thanked the “incredible” Minneapolis PD for assisting in the terrifying experience — a far cry from her attitude toward law enforcement three years ago when she posted online that she and other activists were “going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department.”

“MPD has systematically failed the Black Community, they have failed ALL OF US. It’s time to build a new infrastructure that works for ALL communities. If you are still disagreeing with that BASIC FACT, I’m not sure what to say to you,” she said in the June 5, 2020 post — less than two weeks after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police.

In another post on June 2 of that year, she applauded the Minneapolis School Board’s decision to terminate its contract with the department: “MPD should have no place in our children’s schools,” she wrote.

Minnesota DFL Chairman Ken Martin told KSTP in a statement Thursday that he was “heartbroken at the news of Shivanthi’s attack.”
