TRENTON, NJ – Andy Kim, who touts himself as a senior advisor to former President Barack Obama just had his worst political nightmare come to life after Hamas attacked Israel this weekend. After some of the dust settled, rumors of Iran’s support of the barbaric and terroristic operation came to light.

Just days earlier, Andy Kim, A progressive New Jersey congressman had announced he was running against Senator Bob Menendez. who is embroiled in another political corruption and bribery scandal.

After the attack that claimed the lives of hundreds of Israelis, including women and children, brutally massacred in their homes; and as many as a dozen dead Americans murdered in cold blood, here’s what Kim had to say.

“The images and videos of attacks terrorizing civilians in Israel are horrifying,” Kim tweeted. “This violence must be condemned, and it will only inflame the tensions and cause more bloodshed. With the attacks continuing and reports of hostage-taking, we all out for the immediate safety and security of those in harm’s way.”

Just three years ago, Kim was calling for reestablishing U.S. relations with Hamas and the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

After violence broke out Kim called upon the U.S. to appease the Palestinians and restore direct diplomatic contact with the terrorist organization.

“President Biden should act immediately to nominate a U.S. Ambassador to Israel and reopen the U.S. Consulate in East Jerusalem to strengthen U.S. engagement with the Palestinian people,” Kim said. “He should also follow up U.S. official Hady Amr’s current visit by sending a more senior official to the region. President Biden can also allow the reopening of the PLO mission in Washington, D.C. in a matter consistent with U.S. law. These steps would demonstrate the priority we place on engagement and diplomacy.”

In 2014, leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, a globally recognized terrorist organization were invited to the White House by former President Barack Obama. It was Andy Kim who sat prominently at the President’s side during this unprecedented meeting.

It was under Andy Kim, serving as former President Obama’s ‘point man’ in Iraq, that ISIS grew to its strongest. Kim touted himself as being America’s foremost expert on the terrorist group. Kim’s strategy with the group failed under his leadership, the group became one of the most barbaric terrorism groups on the planet and it all started in Iraq, under Kim’s supervision.

Kim has also been a frontman in the Iran nuclear deal.

In 2022, Kim traveled to Israel with Nancy Pelosi to try to restart the Iran nuclear deal dismantled by former President Trump. Pelosi called the deal a “diplomatic masterpiece”.

Andy Kim has received a lot of support from pro-Israeli groups during his political campaigns and has supported pro-Israeli legislation, but on the back end of those deals, Andy Kim also represents the appeasement strategies of radical terrorists launched by former President Barack Obama and reinstated by President Joe Biden, which puts in him a pretty difficult position today.

Mid-east peace for Andy Kim would have been a feather in his cap in his run against Menendez, but an all-out war in the Middle East will become Andy Kim’s biggest political nightmare as he has touted himself as the man with the plan to bring peace to the Middle East. He built that persona by playing the role of the middleman in some of America’s worst mid-east peace failures.

Now, let’s take a look at the picture in this article. That is President Barack Obama meeting with leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House in 2014. Andy Kim was a prominent figure in that meeting. So was Anas Altikriti, head of the UK Muslim rights group, which is seen by many countries, even those in the Middle East as a terrorist group.

Altikriti was non-apologetic after Israel was invaded and babies were decapitated.

“How on earth can leading politicians and public figures talk openly and brazenly of committing genocide and mass murder against 2.5 million people under siege for over 16 years, without repercussion or consequence,” he tweeted. “If you didn’t shed a tear or write a condemnation of the countless crimes committed by Israel over the decades, the tears you shed today and the condemnation you speak over Israeli victims, mean nothing. It means your humanity is diminished and your sentiments hollow. One of the greatest missteps, is to rid an event from its context. History didn’t start with what Hamas did on Saturday. Saturday was merely another episode in the tragedy that is the genocide(s) committed against the Palestinians since almost a 100 years ago.”
