Pennsylvania: Muslim socialist who praised Oct. 7 jihad massacre challenges Fetterman for Senate seat

Even if elections were free and fair, it’s not at all clear that patriotic Americans have enough electoral power to stop all this anymore. Still, there are many ways that are still legal to impede the advance of authoritarianism and Sharia. Become active now.

“El-Sayed 2.0? Soros Fellow Who Penned Pro-Terror Op-Eds and Advises Hamas-Tied Charity Launches Pennsylvania Senate Bid, Challenging Fetterman,” by Collin Anderson, Washington Free Beacon, November 9, 2026:

The first Pennsylvania Democrat to launch a primary challenge against Sen. John Fetterman is a Gaza-born writer and anti-Israel activist who has penned op-eds defending Hamas and Hezbollah and serves on the advisory board of a boycott Israel group with ties to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Washington Free Beacon review found.

Ahmed Moor announced his campaign in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, which described Moor as a “dues-paying member of the Philadelphia chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America” and a “Palestinian American writer who was born in Gaza.”

The interview did not press Moor about several op-eds he has written, including a November 2010 piece in the Guardian, headlined “America’s role in Lebanon,” in which Moor describes Hezbollah—the terror outfit responsible for the deaths of more than 200 Americans in the 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombing—as a “legitimate political party that reflects the aspirations of many Lebanese people.”

Moor described Hamas in a similar manner in a July 2024 op-ed in the Guardian in which he outlined the “basic truths” of the “Palestine-Israel nightmare,” writing, “It remains the case that many Palestinians view the Islamist parties Hamas and Islamic Jihad as among the only actors committed to their right to self-defense. That right is self-evident to the Palestinians and their supporters, no matter their views of either party. … Hamas’s assertion of Palestine’s right to self defense—in defiance of Israel, the United States, Britain and Germany—also acts as one of the few points of leverage available to the Palestinians after decades of a failed ‘peace process.’”

Months earlier, in October 2023, Moor was quoted as a “Palestinian thinker” in a Guardian forum that asked him to describe the “set of emotions and experiences” he felt as Hamas carried out its Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel. “I experienced a commingled set of feelings,” Moor responded. “You can’t, as a Palestinian, as somebody of conscience, observe that bulldozer breaking through that wall and not feel a sense that ‘the natives have broken free—good for them.’ At the same time, I had a deep sense of foreboding.” More recently, Moor has published his writing on Substack, including a March 2026 piece headlined, “Zionism continues to be the problem.”

Moor serves on the advisory board of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), an anti-Israel nonprofit “working to end all U.S. support for Israel’s military occupation and apartheid policies toward Palestinians.” The group is the fiscal sponsor of the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), which is based in the West Bank and advocates for global sanctions against Israel. The committee’s members include the Council of National and Islamic Forces in Palestine, which is made up of five U.S.-designated terrorist organizations including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The fiscal sponsorship was the subject of an unsuccessful 2019 lawsuit arguing that USCPR provided material support for terrorism by lending its nonprofit status to the BNC….
