Dem Sen. Patty Murray Seeks Millions for Anti-Semitic Mosque Whose Leader Called Jews ‘Despicable Apes’
20th June 2024
Democrats’ top Senate appropriator is seeking millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for an Islamic organization in Washington state that has preached anti-Semitism, cheered Hamas’s “victory” over Israel, and hosted Palestinian activists who urge resistance against Israel “by any means necessary.”
Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.), the chairwoman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, requested $2.5 million for the Muslim Association of Puget Sound last month for the construction of a clinic, a massive windfall for an organization that received $6.2 million in revenue in 2022. That’s on top of an $850,000 earmark that Murray landed for the organization earlier this year to provide tech training for “underrepresented communities.”
It’s the latest Democratic request for taxpayer funds to Islamic groups hostile to Jews and Israel. The Biden administration has awarded millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security grants to mosques whose leaders have called Jews “an arrogant breed of people” and called on Allah to “eradicate [Zionists] from existence,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
