To give you another example of how Democrats routinely normalize violence and the murder of their opponents, we share with you this report from ArabCon, the annual convention of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), by our friends at the Middle East Forum.
During one session, Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, a news and commentary show named after the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide, interviewed U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) about free speech in the United States. During the interview, Khanna responded to a headline accusing him of sharing the stage with pro-terror radicals at ArabCon by asking, “Where are the pro-terror radicals? Raise your hand if you’re a pro-terror radical.” Five or six people in the audience of about 100 raised their hands. Later sessions of the conference were attended by 800-1,000 people, reported Dexter Van Zile.
After the laughter and applause died down, Khanna ran interference for the protesters who disrupted life on college campuses throughout the United States in the months after the October 7 massacre, portraying them as merely “criticizing” U.S. foreign policy, when in fact many of these protesters physically assaulted college staffers, faculty, and students at campuses throughout the country. A Congressional report on these disruptions stated, “speech that provokes imminent lawlessness and would result in a breach of peace is unprotected.”
In a softball follow-up question, Uygur—who described Khanna as “one of the good guys in Congress”—suggested hostility toward Arabs, who are themselves Semites, isn’t regarded as antisemitism. He then asserted that in Congress, “Arabs don’t count. Muslims don’t count. We’re only focusing on Israel and its supporters.”
Khanna declared that the mood is shifting, with people recognizing that free speech is under assault with commentators such as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens arguing that “Free speech is free speech.” During his response, Khanna alleged—without proof—that people on college campuses are being “silenced … because they disagree with what Charlie Kirk said,” failing to mention that Kirk himself was murdered last month by a leftist activist seeking to silence dissenting voices—an irony seemingly lost on Khanna.
The mask really came off on Sunday, September 28, 2025, the last day of the conference, which is traditionally described as “Palestine Day.” In a clip captured by Stu Smith, an investigative researcher at the Manhattan Institute, the previously mentioned Amer Zahr asked panelists if they condemned the October 7 massacre. In light of the atmosphere of the conference and the statements made by the previous speakers, the answer offered by Rabab Abdulhadi was all too predictable.
“I condemn Israel and the United States and all oppressions and imperial war,” she said. “I never ever condemn Palestinian resistance and anyone[‘s] resistance around the world. Those who are here and who also are around the world, write it up.”
