Newsom Awarded Millions to Mosques Preaching Anti-Semitism, Groups Allegedly Tied to Hamas

The Washington Free Beacon reported that the California governor has provided funding to mosques that preach anti-Semitism as well as Islamic advocacy groups with alleged ties to Hamas.

In January 2022, Newsom's office released $47.5 million to provide "Physical security enhancements to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk for violent attacks and hate crimes due to ideology, beliefs or mission." Of that money, $40 million has gone to "Mosques whose leaders cheer the annihilation of Jews and Israel," according to the Free Beacon.

Despite California having a budget shortfall of $32 billion, Newsom confirmed last month that he would double funding for the program after the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel that took place on Oct. 7.

At another recipient mosque, the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco, a preacher claimed this month that it is a "Lie" that Hamas' attack on Israel was "Unprovoked." "If I hear that term again, I'll go crazy," the preacher said.

"Unprovoked in what dictionary?" At another, the Islamic Center of San Gabriel Valley, a preacher expressed support for "The Palestinian brothers and sisters that are fighting" Israel.

"Prayer is not the only thing." At the Islamic Center of Hawthorne, which also received a $200,000 grant, imam Hamdy Sadek prayed last year, "Oh Allah, purify the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the malevolence of the Jews." The Free Beacon reported that grants have also been awarded to "Several Islamic advocacy groups with alleged links to Hamas." The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the federal government has labeled a "Co-conspirator of Hamas," received $135,330 through Newsom's funding program.
