Speaking to an undercover FBI informant:

“[I] was in jihad before, okay. I got captured. Okay, a long story short the people at the Masjid don’t like me because I support al Qa’ida openly. I’m not afraid, I was captured before . . . I was captured by FBI before . . . because I was with al Qa’ida. [I] joined the United States Army [but] hadn’t really completed, I hadn’t really started . . . I was going to go in there and kill the American soldier.”“Criminal Complaint,” United States District Court for the District of Kansas, U.S. Department of Justice, April 10, 2015, http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press releases/attachments/2015/04/10/booker_complaint.pdf.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
