Jihad infiltration of National Guard. Think of the implications. Democrats have fueled the danger with anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric.

Pittsburgh ‘Hamas operative’ allegedly bought explosives, vandalized Jewish buildings — and donated to Squad DemocratsADVERTISEMENTBy Ethan Dodd, NY Post, Nov. 3, 2024, 12:45 a.m. ET
PITTSBURGH — Steel City has an aspiring Hamas terrorist in its midst — and he likes Squad Democrats.
The FBI and Pittsburgh police arrested two Pittsburgh-area residents Wednesday on hate-crime charges for allegedly damaging or defacing Jewish buildings in July.
Shockingly one of those individuals, Mohamad Hamad, self-identified as a “Hamas operative,” purchased and tested explosive materials for a future fireball and was a Pennsylvania Air National Guard member stationed near Pittsburgh International Airport, according to the criminal complaint.

ADVERTISEMENTThe US and Lebanese dual citizen also donated to Squad Democrats who have called Israel’s year-long-war in Gaza a genocide and pushed for a US arms embargo on the Jewish state as it fights Iran and its terrorist proxies.
Talya Lubit, charged as Hamad’s Jewish accomplice in spraying pro-Hamas graffiti on a synagogue and Jewish community center, called Jews “enemies,” advocated the county council pass a controversial cease-fire resolution against Israel and joined a letter defending Pittsburgh’s very own anti-Israel Squad member Rep. Summer Lee, who last month blamed Israel for the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on its first anniversary.
“In Pittsburgh, we’ve seen an infiltration of the Democratic Party by anti-Israel extremists who frequently target the Jewish community,” Jeremy Kazzaz, executive director of the Beacon Coalition nonprofit fighting antisemitism in the political sphere, told The Post.
The frightening charges come after three Jewish University of Pittsburgh students were assaulted last semester, and 62% of Jews nationwide are concerned with antisemitism in the Democratic Party.
“Imagine the terror they saw if they had cams. Hamas operative ripping off their flags in white suburbia,” Hamad, from Coraopolis to Pittsburgh’s northwest, said to an FBI-known individual over Signal.
The encrypted messaging app is similar to Telegram, which Hamas members used to share first-person videos of the Oct 7 attack, in which more than 2,000 armed terrorists invaded southern Israel and killed and kidnapped more than 1,400 people.
Hamad used Signal to share his desire to die a martyr for Islam.

He sent a likely photo of himself wearing a green headband with the Hamas logo and a black sweatshirt that read, “RESPECT EXISTENCE OR EXPECT RESISTANCE” and messaged, “my heart yearns for being with my brothers overseas.”
Emails show he bought two pounds of Indian Black aluminum powder and two pounds of potassium perchlorate used to form explosives.
And messages show Hamad made plans to light a “big shell” July 6 as a practice run for a future explosion and relished over video shared the next day of “what appears to be the detonation of an explosive device and corresponding fireball,” FBI Special Agent Brian Collins reported.
After reading the criminal complaint, Kazzaz feared Hamad was plotting to attack the Jewish community in Pittsburgh.
