Kamala H adds brother-in-law who represented ‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh to campaign team

 

Vice President Kamala Harris’ brother-in-law, who once defended the notorious “American Taliban,” has joined her revamped campaign team, according to a report. 

Tony West, 58, will serve as a “powerful adviser” to the Harris’ presidential campaign, according to Axios, a move that comes after his 5-year-stint in the Obama administration’s Justice Department and subsequent high-level roles at PepsiCo and Uber. 

West, who is married to Harris’ sister, Maya, also worked as an attorney for the San Francisco-based law firm Morrison & Foerster, where he defended the infamous John Walker Lindh, according to the Washington Free Beacon.   

Lindh, who abandoned the US to train with Osama bin Laden and fight for the Taliban in Afghanistan, was captured by American forces as an enemy combatant in November 2001. 

The following year, West agreed to defend the traitor, arguing at trial that Lindh was no terrorist. 

“He is not a terrorist,” Harris’ new hire told the Washington Post in 2002.

“He did not go to Afghanistan to kill Americans,” West said of the then 21-year-old Lindh.

Lindh faced 10 federal charges, including conspiracy to murder US citizens and contributing services to al Qaeda. 

He was offered and accepted a plea deal in 2002 which had him admit to supplying services to the Taliban and carrying an explosive during the commission of a felony for which he served 17 years of a 20-year sentence. 

The Biden administration came under fire this week for offering plea deals to three alleged plotters of the  9/11 terrorist attacks that would have spared them the death penalty. 

In a shock move, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Friday that he had revoked the pre-trial agreements handed to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the accused mastermind of the al Qaeda attacks — and his two alleged helpers, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revokes plea deal for accused 9/11 terrorists in shocking reversal

 

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin on Friday revoked the shocking plea deals that would have spared the death penalty for the accused mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and two alleged accomplices.

In an official memo, Austin, 70, announced he had relieved the official responsible for signing off on the widely criticized plea agreements from authority and would instead assert his own authority in the matter.

“I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial
agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” Austin wrote.

“Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself,” he continued.

“Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case.”

The Office of Military Commissions (OMC), which is prosecuting the case, confirmed on Wednesday it had entered into pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the accused principal architect of the al Qaeda attacks — and two alleged co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, all of whom have been held at the US military prison on the coast of Cuba since 2003.

The guilty plea hearings — to charges including murder and conspiracy — were scheduled to take place as early as next week, with the sentencing hearings expected sometime next summer, according to the letter obtained by The Post.

The OMC letter revealed that the terror suspects have also agreed to respond to any questions the family members of victims have “regarding their roles and reasons for conducting the September 11 attacks.”

Family members were told they were allowed to submit questions which would be funneled to the men through their defense attorneys and answered within 90 days.

Shabbat Shalom from DIN in the Holy Land!

Chareidie Bnei-Brak Mob Instigated by the Litvishe "gedoilim" Attempted to Lynch Rabbi Leibel and his Family!

ובני קורח לא מתו

As posted on July 31, Litvishe Gedoilim such as Rav Landau and Rav Hirsch published a Loshon Hara Kol Korah in the Loshon Hara Yated, denigrating a Gadol Ba'Torah and Huge Talmud Chachim, the Tzaddik and Gaon Harav Leibel Shlitah, who is actually one of their own! 

His crime? 

To train Chareidim to get a profession and if not learning to join the IDF. Slowly but surely Chareidim are realizing that their way is unsustainable and is collapsing! Finally a breath of fresh air!

The Litvaks are in a panic and are scrambling around like poisoned mice to stop this in its tracks. So the old guard instigated and provoked violence against a huge Torah Scholar and an angry mob of Chareidim  attempted to break into his Bnei-Brak to beat the crap out of him and his household. At one point, police were called and had to protect the Tzaddik from a sure lynching! 

Meanwhile, the Litvishe Gedoilim were flying around the world in private jets to schnoor money under false pretenses, claiming that Torah in Israel is in danger because the  Zionists refuse to support them! 

Now this attack didn't happen in Jenin, Gaza or Ramallah, this happened in Bnei_Brak.

זו תורה וזו שכרה!

 Mob Attacks  Rabbi's House 

A real drama  happened in the last few hours as hundreds of Litvishe Chareidim closed in on Rabbi David Label's house in Bnei Brak and tried to break into it, the situation was out of control . 

In the household of Rabbi Laebel they said in the midst of the attempting lynching: "The situation is very dangerous."

As expected, no condemnation was heard from the section of ultra-Orthodox public representatives. 

This time too - as in the past, the one who condemned the case was precisely Moti Leitner, deputy to the mayor of Beit Shemesh who said:

 "A public that educates talmidim to grow up to respect Torah greats, then storms and tries to break into the house of a great man in Israel. 

What did the hooligans think that they would do after breaking into his house? 

To kill the rabbi and the members of his household? 

 There could be dangerous consequences. 

This madness must be stopped now, before disaster strikes.

*חדשות העיר:* ‏דרמה של ממש מתרחשת בשעה האחרונה כאשר מאות חרדים צרים על ביתו של הרב דוד לייבל בבני ברק ומנסים לפרוץ אותו, אין שליטה על האירוע. בבית הרב אומרים: "המצב מסוכן מאוד".

כצפוי, מגזרת נציגי הציבור החרדים שום גינוי לא נשמע. גם הפעם - כבעבר, מי שגינה הראשון את מקרה היה דווקא מוטי לייטנר, משנה לראש העיר בית שמש שאמר: "ציבור שמחנך לכבד תלמידי חכמים וגדל על כבוד לגדולי תורה מסתער ומנסה לפרוץ לביתו של גדול בישראל. מה היו החוליגנים מבצעים אחרי פריצה לביתו? רוצחים את הרב ובני ביתו נפש? מתברר שלהסתה מופרעת נגד הרב יש השלכות מסוכנות. הטירוף הזה חייב להיעצר עכשיו, לפני שחלילה יתרחש אסון".

Is Israel Targeting Nasrallah?

Urgent Call on BBC: Investigate the antisemitism at the network

 

More than 200 people from Britain's TV and film industry have called for an urgent investigation into allegations of antisemitism at the BBC, according to a report in The Independent on Thursday.

Fulwell 73 managing partner Leo Pearlman, who was an executive producer on the 2021 musical film “Cinderella”, former BBC One controller turned Telegraph columnist Danny Cohen, and former ITV executive Claudia Rosencrantz are among those who signed a letter to members of the BBC Board, the report said.

The letter says that “208 BBC staff, contractors, suppliers and contributors from across the television and film industries, the majority of whom are Jewish,” are in “anguish and disbelief” that previous complaints about coverage and social media breaches amid the Israel-Hamas war have not been dealt with.

“We all work in the film and broadcast industries. But we are also members of the wider British Jewish community and can vouch with certainty that there is a loss of faith in the BBC within our community and a widespread opinion that, when it comes to racism and discrimination at the BBC, ‘Jews don’t count,’” the letter says.

“By contrast, we are certain that were similar incidents to occur at the expense of any other minority, the BBC would show zero tolerance. And with this volume of incidents as documented in our three attachments, they would certainly be worried they might have a serious, institutional racism problem,” it adds, according to The Independent.

“We write to you today to request an urgent formal investigation by the BBC Board into systemic problems of antisemitism and bias at the BBC, alongside senior management’s demonstrable failure to properly address the issue.”

The BBC has repeatedly been criticized for the blatant anti-Israel bias in its reporting and this criticism has increased since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel and the war in Gaza which followed.

In November, the corporation published an apology after falsely claiming that IDF troops were targeting medical teams in battles in and around the Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

Before that, the BBC falsely accused Israel of being responsible for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, which the IDF proved was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket.

The network later acknowledged that “it was false to speculate” on the explosion.

In wake of the criticism, BBC Chair Samir Shah said in December that he intends to review the corporation’s reporting guidelines on the Israel–Hamas war.

More recently, the BBC apologized after one of its senior presenters suggested that Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem, was Israel’s capital.

Thursday’s letter references previous documents, which were sent to BBC chairman Samir Shah in July, in which the group claims there have been multiple breaches of the BBC’s social media guidelines.
