Activist who allegedly faked her racial identity quits her day job

A woman who had converted to Islam had been doing a Rachel Dolezal and lying for years about her ethnic identify, but it finally caught up to her. She claimed to be a woman of color but it turns out that she is not a member of an oppressed racial minority, and is therefore not entitled to intersectional creds. Putting it simply, she's White and the only intersectional creds she has earned is her gender.  

The woman, Raquel Saraswati, 39, has resigned from her position as senior inclusion officer of a social justice group in Philadelphia.

“Raquel Saraswati, who is facing public allegations that she misrepresented her background and past associations, has informed us of her intention to separate from the organization,” American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) rep Layne Mullett told USA Today.

Saraswati was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel but changed her name and religion and was the chief equity, inclusion and cultural officer of the activist group that fights “violence, inequality and oppression.”

Saraswati was outed by The Intercept for posing as a Latina, South Asian and of Arab descent. Her mother, Carole Perone, told The Intercept that Rachel is really German, British and Italian descent and has no idea why her White daughter claims to be someone she is not.

“I call her Rachel. I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing,” Perone said. “I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she.”

Ironically, Rachel is gay and converted to Islam, which is quite intolerant of gay and lesbian practices. In fact, if she was living in an Islamic country such as Saudi Arabia, she might be severely punished if caught 'lesbianing.'

Mullett told USA Today in an email that AFSC supports Saraswati and described her decision to leave the outfit as “difficult” and “deeply personal.”

And likely, highly embarrassing.

Saraswati, who appears to have deleted or locked most of her social media accounts, told the Daily Beast that she wanted “to maintain discretion” regarding her employment, but did not say that she was highly embarrassed over being caught as a liar.

“I have carried out my work at AFSC with integrity and sincere commitment, moving forward many aspects of organizational culture,” she lied. 

“I will be handling this phase of my relationship with AFSC with the same level of thoughtfulness, [lack of veracity] and care as I did [other] important matters,” Saraswati said.

“I am currently taking the time I need both with loved ones as well as with professional counsel to ensure that the doors are soon closed on this,” she added.

Last week, AFSC human resources official Oskar Pierre Castro, who hired Saraswati for her diversity leadership role, said he felt “conned” and deceived” by the revelations, because he was.

He believed she was a “queer, Muslim, multiethnic woman” because that’s what she said she was.

Another woman "pulls a Rachel Dolezal" Arab, South Asian Style

Here we go again as another White woman has put on the protective cloak of victimhood and claimed to be an Arab, South Asian woman is spite of her being "as white as the driven snow," and that new white-white paint that was recently invented to keep homes cool in the hot summer sun.

Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, who changed her name to Raquel Evita Saraswati, 39, is the senior inclusion officer of a Philadelphia-based social justice warrior group. She has been lying about her Caucasianacity for years because it's better to be any other color but white, The Intercept reported.

The Muslim activist, who has access to files of the progressive Quaker group’s workers and volunteers, has claimed for years to be of Latin, South Asian and Arab descent.

Raquel's madre, Carole Perone, said that her incredibly White daughter is of British, German and Italian descent.

“I call her Rachel. I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing,” Perone told The Intercept. “I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she.”

But with the new racism across the country, being White can be hazardous to one's career and even one's health in certain 'hoods.'

Mama Perone added: “I’m German and British, and her father was Calabrese Italian. She’s chosen to live a lie, and I find that very, very sad.”

Perone said her daughter converted to Islam in high school and for some reason felt compelled to present a different ethnic identity, not unlike women who have their breasts removed and genitals mutilated and claim to be a woman.

The mother shared with The Intercept photos that show Saraswati with a far lighter complexion when she was a child, as well as her Ancestry.com profile. She asked the outlet not to publish the images because that would be like showing photos of Rear Admiral Rachel Levine prior to him calling himself a woman.

What is with all these Rachel's?

Another family member, who asked not to be identified [so as to avoid the LGBTQ+1 community from protesting in front of their home at 3 am because they have nothing else to make themselves feel important] confirmed to The Intercept that Saraswati is White.

Oskar Pierre Castro, a human resources official who helped AFSC hire Saraswati, was told she was a “queer, Muslim, multiethnic woman,” according to the news outlet. 

Being in the "victim class" can get you the jobs, guys.

“In my mind it was, ‘Great, a person of color, a queer person of color, who happens to be a Muslim, it’s a woman, all these things, and someone who seemed to get it,” Castrol told The Intercept.

“I definitely feel conned. … I feel deceived,” he added.

Evidently, "Raquel" is unaware of how the Muslim community views "queer" folk.

If only she also had a physical deformity, or some kind of handicap, like perhaps being a midget, that would be icing on the Halal cake.

'Slaughter the Jews' written in Arabic on 'Little Western Wall'

Jerusalem -- On the Jewish sabbath, Arab vandals spray-painted graffiti on the ancient wall from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem's Old City. The words, written in Arabic, urged people to "Slaughter the Jews."

Jerusalem City Council member Aryeh King called for an immediate investigation into the incident.

“I call on Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan to demand that police conduct a comprehensive, thorough investigation, since access to the Western Wall is covered by the security cameras of the Jerusalem District Police,” King said, according to the Jewish Press.

So we must wonder whether the Israeli police were looking the other way, agree with the message, or are just incompetent.

Following the arrest of an Arab girl (two have now been arrested), King requested of Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion to levy a hefty fine on the perpetrators and sue the girl and her accomplices for the destruction of property, according to reports.

Rabbi of the Heritage House in the Old City, Ben Packer, posted on his Facebook account Saturday night:

An Arab girl has been arrested for this, but is it really her fault? The place looks like a dump. There is a trash can and trash everywhere. There is nothing signifying in any way that this is a Jewish holy site. There is no guard/attendant? The real culprits? Chief Rabbi of the Western Wall, Mayor of Jerusalem, Knesset, etc. I’d let the girl go and FIX THE SITUATION THERE PERMANENTLY!!!

He sounds like Rashida Tlaib, and the rest of the liberals, blaming the victim, not the perpetrator of the crime. Why not do both? Fix the place and still arrest the girls and show that there are consequences to one's actions.

The “little Western Wall (Kotel HaKatan)” is a small portion of the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. It is located about 200 meters south of the Western Wall Plaza, next to Iron Gate (Sha’ar Ha-Barzel), near the Muslim quarter.

Due to the sensitive location, police have not allowed any physical improvements to the area, including benches or bookcases for holy books, even though it receives many visitors. Students from Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim pray there every Sabbath.

Australia to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel? Maybe

Australia will formally recognize Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, as the capital of Israel. The Australian national security committee approved the measure on Tuesday, The Times of Israel reported.

They were expected to formally announce the decision on Wednesday, but Australia's prime minister Scott Morrison appeared to get cold feet and said the announcement was premature. During a conference in Adelaide, Morrison was asked about the decision and said that "when I'm in a position to make that announcement, I will."

In October, Morrison said that he was "open" to recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, and that it would be "sensible" and "persuasive" to relocate the embassy there.

In a follow-up conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Australian leader said: “We’re committed to a two-state solution, but frankly it hasn’t been going that well, not a lot of progress has been made, and you don’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results.”

In a statement on social media on Tuesday, senior Palestinian official scumcrumpet, Saeb Erekat, harshly criticized Australia’s decision and called on Arab and Muslim countries to sever all diplomatic ties with the country, if Australia moves ahead with the announcement. 

Erekat said Arab and Muslim countries [but I repeat myself] have adopted a resolution calling to break off ties with countries recognizing Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, as the capital of Israel.

One cabinet minister said to The Sydney Morning Herald  that a “practical and pragmatic approach” was needed to ensure Australia’s Muslim trading partners are not upset, but also so that it does not appear that Morrison is backing down from what he said in October. At the time, Morrison came under criticism for his announcement right before the by-election, with his critics charging that he was “pandering” to the Jewish constituents in the district.

For Muslims, not rocketing, shooting or otherwise killing Jews is a form of pandering to them.

As it stands now, Australia is in a holding pattern and it looks like they might put their collective tails between their collective legs and pee on their collective tails.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.

GERMANY: Anti-Semitic experiment gone wrong

Photo: World Jewish Congress/YouTube

Berlin -- An Arab-Israeli wore a yarmulka, or Jewish skull cap, given to him by an Israeli friend. He wanted to disprove to his friend in an "experiment," that wearing a Jewish religious symbol in public was unsafe in Germany.

Score one to his Jewish friend in Israel.

The young Arab-Israeli was attacked by a belt-wielding anti-Semitic Arabic -speaking man who ran away when others showed up. The victim was not Jewish but his friend proved the point that Germany has once again become a hotbed of anti-Semitism and that it's dangerous to walk there while being Jewish.

"I'm not Jewish, I'm an Israeli, I grew up in Israel in an Arab family," Adam Armush said. "It was an experience for me to wear the skullcap and go out into the street," he added.

The attack took place in the Prenzlauer Berg area on Monday. A video  of the attack was taken while it occurred.

Armush and his friend later shared the video on social media showing the attacker hitting the men with his belt while shouting "Yehudi!"["Jew" in Arabic].

"I'm surprised something like this happened to me," Armush said. "I'm still in shock."

Germany: Huge surge in migrant attacks against police

Germany -- There has been a surge in Muslim migrant attacks on police. But not all Muslims are violent because I have to say that in order to keep my blog going.

Attacks on German police have reached huge proportions and Chancellor Angela Merkel is still in power in spite of her open-door immigration policy.

Bundeskriminalamt (the Federal Criminal Police Office, aka BKA) reported 36,755 attacks against German police in 2016, an average of 100 a day which is a huge increase over previous years.

Violence, which includes physical assaults, murder and verbal assaults, against police is rampant in all 16 of Germany's federal states. 

According to the BKA, the epicenter of the problem in 2016 was North Rhine-Westphalia (8,929 incidents), the state with the largest migrant population. 

Thank you, Angela.

But take heart, Germany. Preliminary data recently leaked to German public radio, the violence against German law enforcement for 2017 will break the record.

Attacks in Berlin are up a whopping 70% in Görlitzer Park, 35% at the Warsaw Bridge and 15% at Kottbusser Tor, according to the Berliner Morgenpost. 

There has been a serious spike in violence since 2015, when Merkel allowed over a million migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, almost exclusively Muslim, into the country. 

Anecdotal evidence corroborates police claims that migrants are behind many of the attacks.

In Gelsenkirchen, for example, two cops stopped a driver after he ran a red light. He jumped out of the car and ran. When police caught him they were confronted by a clan of more than 50 Arab Muslims. A 15-year-old jumped a cop from behind and strangled him to the point of unconsciousness. In another incident, cops were surrounded and physically assaulted by over 60 scum wafers of an Arab clan.

Instead of shooting them, senior officials of the Gelsenkirchen police department held a secret meeting with representatives of three Arab clans to "cultivate social peace between Germans and Lebanese." The clans told Police Chief Ralf Feldmann that "the police cannot win a war with the Lebanese because we outnumber them." The clan members added: "This applies to all of Gelsenkirchen, if we so choose."

The official mascot of the Bundeskriminalamt, the declawed tabby cat, was not at the meeting.

Again, thank you Angela Merkel. You've made Germany grovel again.

Two Israeli police killed by Arab-Israeli jihadists

"With our without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil--that takes religion." Steven Weinberg

Jerusalem, Israel -- Three Israeli Arabs shot and killed two police officers and wounded another at the Temple Mount, also known as the Noble Sanctuary to Muslims.

The sacred compound has been a hotspot for past attacks over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But while it is common for Palestinians to attack Jews without provocation, this attack was not common as it was carried out by Israeli Arabs and raises concerns over the possibility of an escalation of violence toward Israel.

The site has been closed Friday for security reasons and will be swept for weapons. Noon prayers, therefore, will be cancelled and will affect thousands of worshipers. 

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas uncharacteristically called Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to condemn the attack, according to WAFA, the Palestinian news agency. He told Netanyahu that he rejects "any violence from any party, particularly at holy sites."

Mr. Netanyahu assured Abbas that the status quo at the site will be preserved.

The weapons used in the attack were brought into the compound by the attackers, according to Israeli police chief Roni Alsheikh. 

The shooting, in fact, began inside the compound, he said, and in response, "a police force charged at the terrorists, killed two and wounded the third. When the wounded assailant was being checked for explosives, he stabbed an officer with a knife he had hidden on his body and killed the officer.

The holy compound is popular with tourists and is the holiest site for Jews and the third-holiest for Muslims.

UPDATE: A Muslim cleric is being held by police for questioning.
