Almost a year ago, I connected the dots between Iran and the antisemitic ‘Mapping Project,’ which ostensibly looked like a BDS group-driven initiative. This led to the Simon Wiesenthal Center drawing attention to my post and tagging the FBI and US Department of Homeland Security, asking them to investigate it (while the ADL dismissed my post as ‘speculation’).
Then earlier this year, after reading about Iran “mapping” the Jewish diaspora for an assassination campaign that will be triggered if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities, I put two and two together and saw this as further proof of my initial theory.
Not long after this, the Zachor Legal Institute think tank came out with a report basically confirming my theory, and using my initial post as a source.
Now Rep. Jack Bergman has called on the Justice Department to investigate.
Bergman, R-Mich., sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this month. The letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, called for immediate action.
He wrote, “To protect Americans’ national security interests and religious freedoms, the Justice Department should commission a full investigation into the origins and funding of the Mapping Project, including possible collaboration with the Islamic Republic.”
Bergman stated in his letter to Garland, “I write to express my concern that the Islamic Republic of Iran is covertly supporting a purported social justice movement in the United States known as ‘the Mapping Project’ as part of a sophisticated campaign to sew social discord and undermine public faith in American institutions.
“Launched in 2022, the Mapping Project maintains a website with an interactive map that pinpoints the precise geographic locations of more than 500 civil society, government, national security, religious, and community organizations in the state of Massachusetts that it claims should be ‘dismantled’ for advancing perceived ‘harms’ in the United States and in Israel.”
He noted, “Among the entities whose precise locations are shared on the Mapping Project website are some 271 police stations – law enforcement is a frequent target for the Mapping Project, which publicly called for the abolition of the Boston Police Department – nine U.S. military bases and installations, and several Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Secret Service offices. Nearly 300 of the approximately 500 organizations mapped by the Mapping Project contribute to the nation’s national security.”
Here’s hoping the DOJ heed Rep. Berman’s calls to investigate.
