Linda Tigani is the latest bureaucrat to be rising high in the diversity-equity-inclusion racket (NYC Division). She was recently appointed by New York Mayor Eric Adams to direct the city’s Commission on Racial Equity. When it comes to Jews her presumed commitment to “diversity-equity-inclusion” seems to evanesce. She has quite a history, caught on videos proudly uploaded to social media, of urging, chanting, shouting at rallies “from the river to the sea/Palestine shall be free,” which means, of course, that the one tiny Jewish state must disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab one. More on Linda Tigani can be found in a story from late October; unfortunately, since then nothing has changed. “New head of NYC racial equity commission has spewed antisemitic rhetoric,” by New York Post, October 28, 2023:
and Deirdre Bardolf,Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee to lead the city’s Commission on Racial Equity, Linda Tigani, has posted antisemitic messages for years, The Post has found.
Her views on the Israel-Palestine war aren’t so equitable.
Mayor Eric Adams’ new appointee for chair and executive director of the city’s Commission on Racial Equity has a history of spewing antisemitic rhetoric.
Linda Tigani, who raked in $143,938 in fiscal year 2022 as acting chief equity and strategy officer for the city Health Department, has repeatedly shared posts on X that include the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which is call by Hamas terrorists and their anti-Israel backers for the eradication of the Jewish state.
“FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA! PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!!” Tigani wrote in a July 1, 2020, post, which also included a clip from the “Day of Rage” rally in Brooklyn, where protesters reportedly chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” in Arabic in response to Israel announcing plans to annex parts of the West Bank.
Tigani shared a video of a Palestinian artist and cook, along with a variant on the antisemitic phrase again in a November 2022 post, writing “Beautiful. From the River to the Sea #PalestineWillBeFree.”
Tigani has also shared a slew of posts highlighting Israeli attacks on Palestinians earlier this year.

Tigani has also championed Palestinians in the Middle Eastern conflict on her Facebook page, with her banner image currently reading “Free Gaza!!! Ethiopian for Palestine.”
Gaza has been “free” of Israelis since 2005, when every last Israeli, of some 8,500 who had been living in Gaza, left the Strip. Within two years, the Gazans were most unfree, suffering under the barbaric rule imposed by Hamas, the terror group which has ruled Gaza ever since. The people of Gaza owe their impoverishment to two things. First, the leaders of Hamas, most of whom are now living in five-star hotels in Doha, Qatar, watching the fighting from a safe distance, have long been engaged in the massive theft of aid money. Mousa Abu Marzouk has a fortune of $3 billion, Khaled Meshal has $4 billion, and Ismail Haniyeh has $4 billion. Just three Hamas leaders have helped themselves to eleven billion dollars. Second-echelon figures in Hamas have not been idle, either; they have grabbed a few million dollars apiece.
The second explanation for the wretchedness of life in Gaza is that the billions that were not stolen by Hamas leaders were spent, not on the wellbeing of ordinary people, but on buying weapons and constructing more than 1,300 tunnels that are 311 miles in total length, more than half the total length of the New York City subway system.
“Ethiopian for Palestine” writes Linda Tigani. This is Tigani’s quaint way to signal that she is Afro-American. She doesn’t realize, of course, that the only Ethiopians who may right now be in Gaza are not fighting “for Palestine.” They are Ethiopian Jews, Falashas, fighting in the IDF to protect the people and state of Israel.
Tigani has yet to post publicly on her social media accounts in the wake of Hamas slaughtering 1,400 people in Israel on Oct. 7….
Now that her antisemitic posts from the past have been revealed, she is likely to be very careful not to add more incriminating posts. I expect that from now on she will maintain a discreet silence about Israel and the Palestinians. But she’s left ample proof of her deep anti-Israel animus —and some would say, of her antisemitism.
Tigani and City Hall did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
What can she say? More importantly, what will Mayor Adams do now? When he appointed her, he was unaware of Tigani’s bigotry. I think he’ll do the only thing a sensible person can do, and fire her from her new job as Director of the Commission on Racial Equity. Don’t worry about Linda Tigani. Al Jazeera may well snap her up as a commentator on “Racism in America.” Or she could write a column for the Tehran Times. Or she could become an English-language journalist for the Palestinian News Agency Wafa. She’ll land on her feet, this Linda Tigani. Such people always do.

Tigsni should be fired and her department defunded now
Intrepid says
As long as the big blue cities keep electing racist black mayors the citizens of these s-holes will continue to get racist anti-semetic trash like Tigani.
Is it any wonder that whites are bailing on these places?
chaya says
Vote.fraud. there is enormous vote fraud and corruption. please, the non-stop slandering the good people, who number in the millions and live there too, as it’s divisive and unhelpful.

Blacks appointing Blacks… who sympathize with satanic worshiping muslims… who controlled putting Blacks into Slavery…
When we have 2 billion satanic worshiping muslims telling lies across the world… where are those who speak the Truth?
Beez says
Well, there’s Douglas, for one.
Onzeur Trante says
What I I see in these women of color in the justice system, higher education and government bureaucracies are (not so smart) troublemakers. They beg to be called racist and anti-semitic. Such is their badge of honor.
Beez says
They’re malcontents. They can never be pleased. Urban blacks flock to them because they think their pols are going to pass out the goodies in the treasury. And why wouldn’t they think that? It’s true. They simply refuse to understand that in destroying whitey, they’re hurting themselves.
Owie says
Like many blacks who have achieved status solely on the basis of the color of their skin, Tigani despises Jews for being smart, qualified, committed to excellence, and not of the criminal class. Buffoons like her are in the process of dismantling and destroying what was the greatest city in the history of the world, because their negligible role in its greatness is a cause of shame for them.
Karmaboy says
I suggest that she take a little float in the Esst River, and just keep drifting into the Atkantic sea…
Kasandra says
Okay, Adams has had two months since Tagani’s posts became public knowledge. Way more than enough time to opine or act on them. He’s done neither. And here I thought I’ve been instructed that “silence is complicity.”
internalexile says
The theft numbers are astonishing, if not surprising.
George Mallory says
Adams has been and will continue to be such a disappointment. He has no spiritual roots and a deep accommodation to all things progressive. The link between Black progressives and Muslim terrorism is deep and hard to understand, other than fighting upwards against (as they perceive the world) the oppressors. Just another black woman promoted well beyond her competence like Kamala, Claudine Gay, and countless mayors. I see the ugly manifestations of the Black underworld on TV shows and shudder at what the Black Christian community must think.
fsy says
Kamala is hardly black at all, just like Obama. (Not arguing with your main point, though.)

TRex says
The “Equity” these people claim to want is just another leftist distortion of terms. EQUITY = REVENGE There will be no equity until the oppressed Marxist revolutionaries become the oppressors. Funny how so many of these champions of oppression end up in these six-figure salary jobs. A dangerous scam, to say the least.
