From Munich to Gaza to America
Terrorist’s grandson, now in the U.S. Navy, touts “original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
|

“I grew up in the crosshairs of the Israeli-Palestinian war in Gaza” and “the threat of terrorism has cast a long shadow on my life.” Even so, to impose “even more intensive vetting on the entire Muslim world would be dangerous and unconstitutional.” American Muslims “are proven to be peaceful contributors to our American economy and way of life,” and “moderate Muslims, like my friend and former colleague Rumana Ahmed, can help protect American lives and restore the original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
Who is this who touts the “original glow” of Islam, lived in the shadow of terrorism, and grew up the crosshairs of the “Israeli-Palestinian war” in Gaza? It’s Ammar Campa-Najjar, writing in a February 25, 2017 commentary in The Hill, which bills him as “a Mexican-Palestinian American and former Obama campaign and administration official.” But there’s more to the man.
Ammar is the grandson of Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, mastermind of the Palestinian terrorists who abducted, tortured and murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Maybe that’s the “shadow” of terrorism he was talking about. Ammar is also the son of Palestinian Authority official Yasser Najjar. Ammar claims his father “migrated from the Middle East to America on a student visa,” met a Mexican-American lady named Abigail and raised a family in San Diego county, but there’s a problem here.
Back in 2003 Linda Gradstein of National Public Radio interviewed Yasser al-Najjar at his office in Gaza, where he served with the Palestinian Authority. Yasser was married, with four children but his wife and children were not named. After the Israelis killed Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, Yasser was a fugitive. Son Ammar has not documented Yasser’s move to the United States, or claims that he earned an MBA from San Diego State and started several clothing boutiques.
“I attended an Islamic school in San Diego as a child,” Ammar told The Hill. “The school was part of a mosque called Masjid Abu Bakr, where hundreds of people prayed and maintained strong relations with local elected and law enforcement officials. I knew of three men at that mosque, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Hani Hanjour, who were issued visas. . . Those three men were among the 19 terrorist hijackers who carried out the September 11 attacks in 2001.” So maybe the relations with politicians and law enforcement were not that strong, and Ammar may have “known of” other terrorists in Gaza.
Why anybody would move there from San Diego, “America’s finest city,” is hard to fathom, but Ammar told the San Diego Union-Tribune he “lived in Gaza from ages 8 to 12.” Born in 1989, that would put Ammar’s Gaza stretch from 1997 to 2001, year of the 9/11 attack and “five years after President Bill Clinton got the Israelis and Palestinians to sign a peace agreement. Sadly, that peace didn’t last, and Gaza devolved into a war zone — the Second Intifada.” The former Obama official wasn’t done.
“As a proud Mexican Palestinian American, witnessing a U.S.-brokered peace collapse into a U.S.-funded war was an early lesson on how fragile things can be. I remember the first night of bombing, the entire city of Gaza had its electricity cut off, and I, my mom, stepmom, dad and younger brothers hid in the dark corner of a cold kitchen floor as Apache helicopters and F-16s leveled surrounding buildings and carpet-bombed the town for hours.”
Note the joint presence of “mom and stepmom.” Ammar has two mommies, and a daddy who allegedly “migrated to the USA on a student visa” but is also a Palestinian Authority official in Gaza. His own time in Gaza, Ammar told Rolling Stone, was “a very Obamaesque, Dreams of Your Father, situation.”
Despite attendance at an Islamic school that was part of a mosque, Ammar comes billed as a Christian. His mother is Catholic and as a teenager, “he spent time as a teenager living with a great-uncle who is a Catholic priest,” but the priest is not named or interviewed in the story. It’s not clear when, exactly, Ammar abandoned Islam but the story stuck. It was hardly the only example of deceptive behavior.
As La Prensa San Diego revealed, the Islamic student once went by the name Ammar Yasser Najjar, and only changed it to Ammar “Campa-Najjar” when he ran for Congress in 2018. Rolling Stone billed him as a “a rockstar Democratic candidate.” He ran as a progressive and lost to Duncan Hunter. In 2020, the son of Yasser Najjar styled himself as a moderate conservative and lost to Darrell Issa.
The congressional loser had never held public office or served on any local community board, commission, or civic group in the city of Chula Vista, near San Diego, where he ran for mayor in 2022. Despite more than 700 mail-in ballots with either non-matching or missing signatures, the Obama Democrat lost to Republican John McCann. In August, the former Obama White House official joined the U.S. Navy.
“Today, in front of my family, friends, my grandmother in heaven and God, I stood aboard the USS Midway and swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend our nation as a commissioned United States Navy Officer,” Ammar told People Magazine, quoting Winston Churchill that as a reservist he was now “twice the citizen.”
The former Ammar Yasser Najjar claimed he first tried to join up at age 17, but as People’s Virginia Chamlee explained, “his mother refused to sign off on the decision, due to his father being away at the time.” In similar style, Ammar told Robin Abcarian of the Los Angeles Times that “he’d always wanted to serve in the military, and even tried to enlist at 17 before his mother put a stop to it.”
Neither journalist specified whether that was the mother or the step-mother Ammar previously mentioned. And no comment from Yasser Najjar, the Palestinian Authority official in Gaza who somehow migrated to the USA on a student visa.
“The military doesn’t have the luxury of getting into these cultural disputes trying to divide us,” the officer told Abcarian. “Where some people have seen my heritage, my background as a liability, the Navy says those are not liabilities, they are assets. A command of the Arab language, fluent in Spanish, having lived in the Middle East, my cultural competency gives us a strategic advantage. . . My Arabic is actually more fluent than my Spanish.”
Abcarian found Campa-Najjar to be somewhat “guarded” but accepted his contention that he was done with politics, “at least for now.” The columnist might cast a glance at his Wikipedia entry.
“Ammar Campa-Najjar is a United States naval officer,” it begins, as though he had graduated Annapolis and commanded a carrier. His father Yasser Najjar “was an important internal critic of Palestinian hardliners” and during his time in Gaza, “he attempted to counteract the rising influence of Hamas.” Grandfather Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar “has been the subject of significant controversy,” and so on.
On Sunday, nearly a thousand pro-Hamas demonstrators gathered in San Diego, but if the newly minted naval officer showed up, he did not speak to reporters. At this writing, his former White House colleague Rumana Ahmed has also been on the quiet side.
“In 2011, I was hired, straight out of college, to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council,” Ahmed told the Atlantic in 2017. In that role, Ahmed became senior adviser to Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, a big-time promoter of the Iran deal. That was an easy sell to reporters, Rhodes quipped, because they “literally know nothing.”
If that seems a stretch, check out the establishment media reporting on the man formerly known as Ammar Nasser Najjar. He’s the Palestinian Mexican-American with two mommies, who moved to Gaza. He’s the Islamic school student who became a Christian and seeks to restore “the original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
The rockstar Democratic candidate is in the Navy now, and a Senate seat is up for grabs. As Donald Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.

Sexual chaos in the Arab world drives some of its grotesque violence
During the attack on Israel, a member of Hamas grabs a Jewish girl. He lies down on top of her, comes to orgasm, stands up, and shoots her. What kind of sadistic twists were already present in his head that allowed the softness of sexual relations to be entwined with the violence of murder?
No one asks this question in America because it means looking deeper than most people want. But it needs to be asked since it is central to the problem of future peace or the lack thereof. Everyone knows there are cultural differences between people. Do some differences make it impossible to co-mingle groups? Yes, indeed! It is particularly true in the case of Arabs and Jews.
Sexuality between family members among the Jews is seen as destructive to family unity. Violations are condemned roundly. Among Arabs, sexuality is part of the family package. The most common manifestation is polygamy. Most American women expect exclusivity in marriage. It provides financial and social security, as well as clear lines of inheritance for their children.
This is a complex topic since most Arab males do not engage in polygamy. Nonetheless, it is incumbent upon Westerners to understand that polygamy may be the force that most disrupts relations between Arabs and Westerners, because it causes an unnatural social condition where there is a chronic shortage of women. If one man takes four wives, three men go without. It is an arithmetical inevitability.
Image: An Arab man with his three wives and two servants (1892-1893).
In the olden days, this problem was addressed by attacking neighboring villages to kill the men and take the girls and women. Always the strong killing the weak. Moreover, these extra men made up a willing army to go to war since success led to family life, status, and a slave to keep house while the husband sat at the coffee house with his friends. This situation is best described as “women as objects.”
For the man, sexual appetite was always to be fulfilled upon demand. This made for some really unhappy women. Failure of the woman to comply or be happy about it could easily lead to the entrance of a new and younger wife. All children belonged to the men, so divorce would lead to women alone on the street, bereft of their children and means of support.
Now, we get to the hub of things. All men of every culture have always been exempt from diaper changing. There has always been the small but not zero possibility of his making the child into a sexual object—boy or girl—especially if marital relations were strained. Unfortunately, this insight is true of women as well, especially under conditions of unhappiness.
There is also the issue of the ever-present pure ignorance of the consequences of early sexual arousal. The infant, toddler, or child—as an object—is not in control of the stimulation of the one or the other parent. It is my contention that such early stimulation creates a form of confusion of sexuality and violence on the one hand and affection on the other.
Non-sexual affection draws the youngest members of the family closer together with parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, and even the occasional strangers who enter the house like family friends. However, if sexuality is imposed by others (including all of the above), that makes people, particularly children, afraid of one another. Sex is always an imposition. Thus, the need for affection that undercuts the innate violence of the sexual act.
The thesis here is that the dysfunctional Arab family reflects how sexuality is manifest in the early lives of the children.
I want to be very clear: In general, good, nice, and kind people (including Muslims) have been protected socially and sexually during their earliest years. Later, such people can offer affection and manifest altruism.
Children who have been abused socially and/or sexually from infancy will show various levels of pathology as adults. This is a simplified understanding of adult psychopathology that can arise from multiple sources, but being used as a sexual object early in life is a form of violence that makes later sexual expression a problem for the individual, perhaps without an easy, or even any, solution.
Most males in the Western world could not seek affection and closeness during sexual expression and then stand up and kill their partners. In the United States, we lock people up who rape and then murder.
Social structures that induce anger between men and women become a systematic source of their individual pathologies. Here, the social pathology is a mixing of sexuality and violence. Thus, war and rape have always been linked.
Still, there are differences between cultures. A nitwit whose name I’ve deliberately forgotten wrote a master’s thesis at Hebrew University arguing that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women during war because the soldiers are racist.
No, nitwit! The confusion between anger and sex is the pathological state. Gazan men apparently have received the lion’s share of this confusion from their earliest childhoods, as demonstrated by their actions in Israel. This conflation of sex and anger rolls from one generation to the next with permission and support from cultural norms.
Islamic Jew-Hatred, Dhimmitude and the Doctrine of Sacred Space
For certain entities, the existence of Israel - and Jews - is intolerable.

In the wake of the savage HAMAS attack against Israel on the morning of 7 October 2023, many are waking up to its genocidal intent against Jews. Understandably, there are memories of pogroms past, of the horrific toll of the Holocaust, and references to “Nazis” and the “Einsatzgruppen”.
This time, though, as Israel prepares to do what must be done to wipe out the HAMAS presence in Gaza, we need to understand exactly who and what it is: an Islamic terror group, dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and the killing of as many Jews as possible. We might start with the HAMAS Covenant, published in 1988, the year that HAMAS was formally established. Its opening lines tell us exactly who HAMAS is and why it exists:
“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan alBanna, of blessed memory).
We’ll note here that this quote is from Hassan al-Banna, the 1928 founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. And here is the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood:
‘Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration.’
Why this fanatical hatred? We find the answer in the Qur’an, in the Islamic doctrine of Sacred Space, and the laws of dhimmitude. The Qur’an, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of Allah (the Arabic word for “God”), lays the foundation for HAMAS’ visceral Jew-hatred.
Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews]…will be in Hell-fire…They are the worst of creatures. (Q 98:6)
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and kill the infidels wherever ye find them… (Q 9:5)
Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith [Islam]…(Q 5:78)
The HAMAS Covenant also includes this quote from the hadith collection of Sahih Muslim:
Judgment Day will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and trees will call: Oh, Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him…
Then there is the historical record, which informs us of the Islamic institution of dhimmitude and the doctrine of Sacred Space. As the armies of Islam overran formerly Christian and Jewish lands in the 7th century, there were too many to kill or convert; and so, beginning with the 638 CE Pact of Umar (the 2nd Caliph), the institution of the Ahl al-Dhimma was established to subjugate Christians and Jews to a rigid set of rules that would relegate them to a legally enforced inferior status intended to be so onerous as to compel them to convert to Islam.
Along with dhimmitude, the Muslim conquests developed a concept known as “Sacred Space”. That is, the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam) must conquer all the Dar al-Harb (House of War) because according to Islam, the entire world belongs to Islam and must be conquered and subjugated to it. Once conquered and/or occupied, such land is waqf, forever endowed to Muslims by Allah. Any such waqf, if ever lost to Islam, must be fought for by jihad until it is re-conquered.
As we look at the modern-day Jewish State of Israel, we can see that the Jewish people not only are no longer dhimmis but have established a powerful country in their ancestral homeland. These remarkable accomplishments are intolerable to the forces of jihad and help to explain why HAMAS and other Islamic terror groups like it have been so intent upon wiping Israel from the face of the map.
Stealth Jihad in American Education
Since the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, college campus rallies in support of the barbaric act have erupted across the nation. Although world focus is on Israel, this is only one part of the global plan of Islam.
Islamic law -- Shari’ah -- requires Jihad to be waged as "warfare against non-Muslims” until all the world is under Islamic law. Jihadist doctrine is advanced by both violent techniques and “civilization jihad,” a stealth subversive effort to destroy Western civilization from within a nation by its own hand. The pattern of Islam is to use the courts, schools, art museums, and other major institutions including outreach to churches to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally take over a nation. American education is a prime target.
For decades, billions of petro-dollars have been donated to American universities for the purpose of altering public opinion and U.S. foreign policies. This subversive shaping of the mindset has reached a wide swath of American society through students studying for careers in banking, business, law, public health, education, and urban studies. Through university outreach, programs on the Middle East are developed and provided to K-12 and adult education students.
Gifts to American universities are designed also to enhance the image of the Arab states and their rulers, effectively tamping down public criticism of Muslim hostility to Jews as well as Christians. One of the more recent donors and the largest investor in universities, Qatar has an image problem as a funder and supporter of both terrorist groups -- Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood -- and as home base to the rabidly anti-Israel, anti-American Al Jazeera.
Former English diplomat John Kelly noted, “They expect a return upon their donations to institutions of learning and their subsidies to publishing houses; whether it be in the form of subtle propaganda on behalf of Arab or Islamic causes, or the preferential admission of their nationals, however unqualified... or the publication of the kind of sycophantic flim-flam about themselves and their countries which now clutters sections of the Western press and even respectable periodical literature.”
Arab donations between 1986 and October 2022 totally nearly $11 billion with more than 10,000 contracts and gifts spread across 273 institutions. The total is grossly underestimated because numerous donations have gone unreported. Beginning with Aramco’s funding in the early 1950s, donors from Arab states have quietly made contributions to American universities, hijacking the field of Middle East Studies with faculty, including college presidents, who have been bought for 30 pieces of silver and are using their positions to advance political agendas that are pro-Arab/Palestinian, anti-Israel, and pro-radical Islam.
Though the far Left has never had any real political power, it has controlled the social and cultural narrative. During the summer of 2020, academics defended looting and/or supported the destruction of the nuclear family while Fortune 500 CEOs did nothing. The most extreme actions actually enjoyed greater publicity.
The brutality of Hamas in murdering babies, raping women, and taking the elderly and disabled as hostages was cheered on by left-wing student groups. Academics also weighed in. A Cornell University professor speaking at a recent pro-Palestine rally called the attacks “exhilarating.” A Stanford University instructor told her Jewish students to stand in a corner like “Israel does to Palestinians.” Other academics have posted their support on social media. Administrators remained silent.
Now it seems the radical Left has gone too far. People are standing up and saying enough is enough. It began with Bill Ackman, the hedge-fund billionaire who learned of an open letter signed by over 30 student groups from Harvard -- his alma mater -- that blamed Israel instead of Hamas for the murders. Ackman and several other CEOs contacted Harvard to get a list of the members of each Harvard organization that issued the letter. They are refusing to hire anyone who signed the letter. Job offers to some graduates already have been rescinded.
Marc Rowan, the chairman of the board of overseers at Wharton who donated $50 million to the school in 2018, called for donors to cease any further donations until the university’s leadership changes. Vahan Gureghian, a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees, resigned. The Huntsman family announced they have closed their checkbook on all future giving to Penn. David Magerman, who helped build the trading systems of Renaissance Technologies, said he will cease funding to Penn. The 80th richest man in the world, Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife Batia, resigned from the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Others followed. Playboy cut ties with the porn star Mia Khalifa for cheerleading the massacres in Israel.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are speaking up in support of Israel. Even TMZ got in on the game, reporting that Black Lives Matter Chicago has embraced the terrorism of Hamas. Sopranos fan sites to artists and comedians to any number of household names -- LeBron James. The Rock. Reese Witherspoon -- have also responded.
Meanwhile, all those rabid Harvard activists who gleefully signed a pro-murder statement were in a blind panic and tried to explain away their participation, saying they did not read the letter. Sure. Are we to believe that very smart Harvard students do not read before they sign? The public should beware of Harvard-educated lawyers. At the end, all students removed their names. They are learning that actions do have consequences.
First there was Bud Light and then Target, followed by the snowballing scandal surrounding Ibram Kendi’s antiracism center at Boston University. With the loss of donors, university administrations suddenly see the virtue in institutional neutrality. Harvard, Northwestern, and Stanford’s presidents have issued statements that they will cease responding to political, geopolitical, or social issues that do not directly impact the core mission of their universities. They should have adopted this policy long ago. These cocky academics seem to care little that the public has lost confidence in higher education and, more especially, in elite universities.
As Ackman pointed out, “None of these institutions are solvent without the support of their alumni. Perhaps this is the beginning of a catalyst for change.” The question is whether it is too late for these arrogant institutions to regain their reputations.
Most important is that no foreign money be allowed to flow into our educational institutions to shape the mindset of students and influence American policy to support a radical ideology. Since its birth in 1987, Hamas has declared its aim is to destroy Israel. The fact is this Islamic terrorist group intends to annihilate not just Jews but anyone who is not a Muslim.
The pro-Hamas rallies where students celebrated the mass murders and beheadings show just how successful the indoctrination has been. Since the United States shares with Israel the greatest number of the world's Jewish population, allowing radical Islamic indoctrination of students creates an enemy within and poses a dire threat to our national security.
