Remember Zahra Billoo? The Women’s March voted her off its new board in September 2019 because of her anti-Israel tweets.
After her removal, Billoo became the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) San Francisco executive director
Billoo is in the news again because of the anti-Semitic speech she delivered at a convention. Israellycool brought the details to light:
But just how vile – and dare I say it, dangerous – she is, really came to the fore at last week’s American Muslims for Palestine’s (AMP) convention called On the Road to Free Palestine, where Billoo was one of the featured speakers.In her speech, Billoo made it very clear that “Zionists” – who she paints as rich and powerful (a typical antisemitic trope) – are the enemy. And by enemy, she means those not just opposing palestinian Arabs but Muslims as a whole. Chillingly, she promises this enemy will be defeated.And who are these “Zionists”? Billoo does not need to pretend to her sympathetic audience, so she includes the likes of the Jewish Federation, “Zionist Synagogues” (which means all Orthodox synagogues and the majority of others, since Zionism is integral to Judaism) and Hillel chapters on “our campuses” (i.e. Jewish students).And the J-Streets of the world should also take note: Billoo warns about what she calls “the polite Zionists”, stating they are no friends of the Muslim community either.

The hatred dripped out of Billoo’s pores. I would normally add something sarcastic, but this crap is dangerous and violent.
The hatred goes towards the Jewish organizations that bow and submit to people like Billoo and Linda Sarsour:
We need to pay attention to the Anti-Defamation League. We need to pay attention to the Jewish Federation. We need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues. We need to pay attention to the Hillel chapters on our campuses, because just because they are your friends today, doesn’t mean that they have your back when it comes to human rights.So oppose the vehement fascist, but oppose the polite Zionist too. They are not your friends. They will not be there for you when you need them. They will take your friendship and throw your Palestinian brothers and sisters under the bus. Oh! You get along because you are all in Girl Scouts together? Talk to them about what is happening in Palestine, and see how that conversation goes.”And so, when we think about Islamophobia and Zionism, let’s be clear about the connections. There is no difference between domestic policy and foreign policy when it comes to our human rights. There is no difference between domestic policy and foreign policy when it comes to those who seek to target us.
Billoo insisted that “Islamophobia is a well-funded conspiracy, a well-funded project – A well-funded project to marginalize us.”
The Jewish organizations (yes, that includes you, J-Street) want to attack Muslims because “they are afraid that Muslims advocate for Black Lives Matter, police accountability, homelessness, against poverty, for the environment and ‘a free Palestine.'” More:
“We have to connect the dots between the organizations that promote Zionist agendas materials marketing and legislation are the same ones that want to ban Muslims, are the same ones that want to pass anti-sharia legislation,” she said.She explained that the Israeli military trained police officers in the United States to “kill unarmed black men, women and children.” Further, the technology “used at the US-Mexico border is the same technology used at the apartheid wall.”
Billoo managed to make the speech even more pathetic by promoting CAIR and AMP, encouraging people to donate to the organizations. I guess they’re the only ones who can save us from the Jooooos:
Know your JVP leadership, your SJP leadership, your IfNotNow leadership, the list goes on. Know who is on your side. Build community with them, because the next thing i’m going to tell you is to know your enemies.And I am not going to sugarcoat that, they are your enemies. There are organizations and infrastructures out there who are working to harm you. Make no mistake of it. They would sell you down the line if they could, and they very often do behind your back. I mean the Zionist organizations, I mean the foreign policy organizations who say they are not Zionists but want a two-state solution. I am not a Palestinian myself, but it is my understanding that that is laughable. So know your enemies.
CAIR National backed up Billoo. There is a video of her vomiting anti-Semitism, people.
Even the ADL couldn’t ignore this one! The ADL, despite what Billoo claimed, is not much of a fighter when it comes to anti-Semitism. It’s friendly with the DNC, which we all know does not care about anti-Semitism.
