Where to begin? So much has been going on lately to cement the Left/Islamist alliance here in the Boston area...best to dive right in. We'll take this somewhat chronologically -- as they fall in my email box -- though each section here could probably have made its own post, so dig in, as there is much of interest. In short, the Greens have welcomed in -- and I use the following terms advisedly, realizing I risk losing people by jumping to buzzwords and jargon right at the start, but as you'll see below, I'm probably understating it -- a racist anti-Semite, and at least one core member thinks she'd make a great co-chair.

First, understand that the Green Party (Green-Rainbow here in Massachusetts) view on Sudan is perfectly in sync with the Arab League/Islamist viewpoint:

Translation: It's all an Imperialist plot.

[As an aside, in this they are joined by ACLU of Massachusetts employee Nancy Murray who also opposes divestment from Sudan, apparently as some sort of Zionist plot [correction: This particular email refers to divestment from Iran.]

Sensing an opportunity, our own familiar faces have jumped in to GRP (Green-Rainbow Party) politics with both feet. According to a recent message on the GRP email list, referring to Karin Friedemann (aka Maria Hussain, Karima, Karin Friedemann-Hussain, ummyakoub, etc...) and husband Joachim Martillo (aka various other constructions):

Indeed, "Karima's" contributions to the Jamaica Plain Greens discussion list have been numerous.

At the GRP convention this past Saturday, Karin Friedemann appears to have emerged as something of a leader in the party. More on that shortly.

Why do I say "sensing an opportunity?" Because Friedemann's interest in "progressive" politics is reasonably questionable, and her real interests seem to lie elsewhere. From Jon Haber's excellent piece, Marriage:

Friedemann has proudly published at David Duke's web site pontificating about...well...from Is Islam a threat to the White race? (must be read to be believed):

Yes, you read that right, the Greens have welcomed in someone who writes racial screeds for David Duke.

But this isn't the time (and space doesn't allow) for (another) in-depth look at Friedemann's various publication venues (such as Jewishtribalreview.org), nor another re-hashing of hubby Martillo's various vile ramblings -- readers of this blog should be well familiar with them just from his many comments left here -- they provide an accurate and concise view of what he's about, so let's take all that as a given and move on.

Martillo recently used his "Ethnic Ashkenazim Against Zionist Israel" blog to plug the GRP convention.

Why the interest? In large part, Sudan. Wife Karin has also been pushing area Muslims to get involved in GRP. As noted before, Karin is a frequent poster on the moderated Muslim American Society/Islamic Society of Boston email list, where she has been agitating for readers to come to the GRP convention. What's the particular interest? A Sudan workshop organized by Friedemann, and CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper gave his blessing to the event. From the email:

According to Freidemann, things went swimmingly:

Celebrity anti-Semites were in attendance:

Readers may remember McKinney's supporters as having gone on a racist and anti-Semitic tirade after her last electoral loss, telling a member of the press to "put on your yarmulke and celebrate" and "...gonna get your Jewish ass..." Video.

Boston City Councillor Chuck Turner, a regular at anti-Israel/anti-Jewish protests was also there.

Word is that some members are upset over the lack of "diversity" (or something) amongst the folks taking positions in the party. Silence, as usual, about the racists now taking a starring role.
