Chairman Ziad Shaker elJishi has been detained, once again, upon re-entry into the United States this evening from his annual visit to the Arab homeland. This follows a systemic pattern by the regime against NACAZAI and all its known leadership, including myself, in the event of international travel destinations to detain members, harass and threaten them, and ascertain information by provocative questions and behavior, de facto accusations of “terrorism” associations, etc.

Tonight was unique in the authorities admitted to a systematic policy against brother Ziad within the “Homeland Security”, Border Patrol and FBI computer system, despite the rank-and-file appearing to know anything about NACAZAI or even its existence. Such admission acknowledged what has been our de facto understanding at NACAZAI: all known members of the Central Committee who have not been felonized (and hence legally banned by the “no fly list” ) are on a system “red flagged” upon re-entry into the United States.

The authorities admissions convey and confirm a need for strong security culture within organizations dedicated to combating Jewish Supremacy/Zionism and imperialism, and towards building ties with those forces globally and at home in a common trench. Most important is the lesson of non-cooperation, via refusal to talk, even about seemingly obscure topics with the enemy regime’s authorities.

We will not be defeated or intimidated! We convey to the enemy our resolve and our single-hearted unity around brother Ziad, our resolve to continue the fight against Zionism and imperialism.

I have spoken to brother Ziad, who is reasonably tired after a long detention, but is good spirits and now safely on his way home.
