“And you have acted worse than your fathers,
every one of you following the willfulness of his evil heart and paying no heed
to Me. Jeremiah 16:12 (The Israel Bible™)

A Democratic Congressional candidate for California’s
50th District if fighting a close race for the 2020 election. He is young and
good looking and endorsed by many politicians including former President Barack
Obama. This is all quite shocking considering that Ammar Campa-Najjar is unashamed
of his links to infamous terrorists.
His website states that
Campa-Najjar was born in California and raised in San Diego by his mother who
is described as both “Christian” and “Catholic.” His bio does not mention his
father but an investigative article by the Clarion Project
identified him as Yasser Mohammad Yousef al-Najjar, the Palestinian Authority’s
ambassador to Norway appointed in 2005 who was accused by his own people of
corruption. More significantly, Yasser Al-Najjar’s father, the potential
congressman’s grandfather, was Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar also known as Abu
Youssef, a member of the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September
headed by Yasser Arafat. Abu Youssef was one of the masterminds who took part
in the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes and a German police officer at the 1972
Munich Olympics.
Though the congressional candidate claims to have
rejected his grandfather’s legacy and has been endorsed by the Jewish community
in his district, he has also referred to his terrorist grandfather as a
“legend” and a “public servant” on social media.
“It’s back breaking work being my dad, and being his son
requires broad shoulders,” he posted in 2015 on Instagram
(since removed). “For me, it’s dealing with the pressure of being his son. In
the eyes of many, Yasser Mohammad Alnajjar is the son of a legend, and a hero
in his own right…I have two generations of public servants running through my
veins.”
Campa-Najjar also claimed to have a personal connection
with Yasser Arafat. In another Mothers’ Day Instagram post that has also been
removed, he wrote to his Mexican-American mother, “You’ve always been there for
me: as a baby throwing cookies at your head from a car seat, as a toddler who
never believed in diapers, cursed and spat at Yasser Arafat’s wife for trying
to feed me soup.”
Despite proudly proclaiming his Catholic/Christian family
ties, his own religion remains ambiguous. In an op-ed published in The Hill in
2017, Campa-Najjar criticized President Trump’s travel ban. In the article, he
openly admits that as a child he attended an Islamic school in San Diego that
was part of a mosque in which three of the terrorists who perpetrated the 9-11
attacks prayed.
In 2012, Campa-Najjar served as Deputy Regional Field
Director for Barack Obama’s successful reelection campaign and was repaid with
an endorsement in his own unsuccessful campaign for the Congressional seat in
2018. Campa-Najjar lost even though his opponent, the incumbent Rep. Duncan
Hunter, was indicted on charges of improperly using $250,000 of campaign funds
for private use.
That campaign may have set a precedent in which
Campa-Najjar’s connections with terrorists and terrorism are off-limits. An ad
by Hunter drawing attention to Campa-Najjar’s grandfather, and suggesting that
he would be a security risk if elected to Congress, was heavily criticized by
mainstream media. An article in Huffington Post
criticized Hunter’s remarks about Campa-Najjar’s grandfather as “racist,”
noting that “Campa-Najjar has won support from pro-Israel groups for his
positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Though the elections set for November 2020 are still far
off, it already appears that Campa-Najjar will win. A poll taken last month by
SurveyUSA for 10News and the San Diego Union-Tribune showed that 31
percent of the respondents favored Campa-Najjar, as compared to 20 percent who
favored former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio (R), 16 percent who
favored former Rep. Darrell Issa (R), 11 percent who favored incumbent Rep.
Duncan Hunter (R), and 4 percent who favored state Sen. Brian Jones.
Perhaps more significantly, his campaign raised more than
$580,000 in the third quarter of 2019 from 21,146 donors.Campa-Najjar’s
campaign has raised over $1,300,000 in this current election cycle and
ended the third quarter with $850,000 cash on hand.
