Christopher Scalia recently tweeted side-by-side photos of a masked pro-Hamas protester and a masked terrorist captioned “Manhattan 2024 meets Munich 1972,” a reference some readers might not recognize. On September 5, 1972, at the Olympics in Munich, Palestinian terrorists of the Black September faction forced their way into the quarters of the Israeli team. The terrorists shot dead and castrated weightlifter Yossef Romano, a mutilation not revealed until 2015. The carnage continued and by the next day, the terrorists had murdered 11 Israelis.
The next year, Israeli commandos killed Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, mastermind of the Munich massacre. His son Yasser al-Najjar became a fugitive and in one account came to the United States, though documentation of his arrival is hard to find. When National Public Radio profiled him in 2003, Yasser al-Najjar was an official of the Palestinian Authority living in Gaza.
In 2012, a man named Ammar Campa-Najjar worked in the Obama administration, which never revealed that Ammar was the grandson of Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, mastermind of the Munich massacre. That emerged in a February, 2018, Haaretz report headlined “Grandson of Munich Massacre Terrorist Is Running for Congress.” The revelation was not in the campaign materials of grandson Ammar Campa-Najjar, which said only that he was “the son of a Mexican American mother and a Middle Eastern immigrant father.” Campa-Najjar claims he was born in San Diego County but said he lived in Gaza from ages eight to 12.
Rolling Stone billed Campa Najjar as a “rockstar Democratic candidate” but he lost to Duncan Hunter in 2018 and Darrell Issa in 2020. In 2022 Campa-Najjar ran for mayor of Chula Vista and lost to Republican John McCann. In August of 2023, the three-time loser joined the U.S. Navy, which made him a reserve officer. The former Gaza resident kept rather quiet after 10/7, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and many times worse than his grandfather’s massacre of Jews in Munich in 1972.
It has emerged that the rockstar Democrat has been dating Rep. Sara Jacobs, granddaughter of billionaire Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs. With that kind of support, the former Gaza resident is someone to watch. Munich in 1972 meets America in 2024 and beyond. As Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
