Two Palestinian terrorists are set to speak at the Detroit People’s Conference for Palestine at the end of August, including a Tanzim operative who was released in February in return for hostages held by Hamas and a former Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) official.



Our visa system is fundamentally broken. At this point what makes the most sense is what President Trump began doing in his first term, which is to lock down travel from certain parts of the world, until we’ve secured access to the U.S.
Shaheen was released on February 1 along with hundreds of other terrorists as part of a deal in exchange for live and deceased hostages captured by Gazan forces during the October 7 massacre, according to Israeli Justice Ministry and Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) announcements.
Once a leader and international coordinator for Fatah’s youth movement, Shaheen later became involved in the factions’ military wings. In the book The Rise and Fall of Arab Jerusalem: Palestinian Politics and the City since 1967, it was detailed how Shaheen established an al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade cell in Jebl Mukaber and procured firearms for an aborted 2001 attack.
The Prime Minister’s Office announced in 2002 that four members of the Jebl Mukaber Martyrs’ Brigade cell admitted that Shaheen had recruited them into the terrorist organization and supplied them weapons for two failed Jerusalem terrorist attacks. Shaheen was arrested in 2004 in Ramallah and was sentenced to 27 years in prison, according to the PPS and Justice Ministry, for attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Another speaker at the Detroit conference is Omar Assaf, who, according to Haaretz and Al Araby, was an official in the DFLP terrorist organization. An Omar Assaf is listed by the PLO website as one of the founders of the Marxist faction. Assaf is now the coordinator of the executive committees of the Palestinian Popular Conference, which seeks to reform the PLO into, among other things, a more radical militant organization. A day after the October 7 massacre, Assaf’s Popular Conference praised the Gazan attackers and promised to build upon the achievements of the terrorist attack.
Is there anyone we don’t allow into the United States? Like a Muslim terrorist sprung by Hamas in exchange for Oct 7 hostages?
Or into Congress?
Because Rep. Rashida Tlaib will also reportedly be there.
Mahmoud Khalil and Linda Sarsour. Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib will also speak at the event, the second year in a row that Tlaib is making an appearance.
Hossam Shaheen was with Fatah, which means the organization behind the PLO and Palestinian Authority, a terrorist entity that we set up and fund. So the State Department helped make this monster and has allowed him into the U.S.
As a basic criteria, we might have asked if he had been a member of a terrorist group before handing him a visa.
Instead, we keep being assured about all the ‘vetting’ that’s being done even as terrorists keep coming into America.
