(JNS) Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) called for a federal investigation into whether a pro-Palestinian group is supporting Jew-hatred and terror.
Gottheimer, who is Jewish, asked the U.S. Department of Justice on Sunday to investigate the Palestinian American Community Center after Wisam Rafeedie, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, was scheduled to speak via video feed at the center’s conference that day in Clifton, N.J.
The PFLP is a U.S.-designated foreign terror organization.
“Rafeedie has a long history of supporting terrorism and engaging in antisemitic rhetoric,” Gottheimer, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, wrote to Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney general.
