The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine is a Marxist group, but it is aligned with the jihad force and acts in concert with jihad groups. Anyway, this Emmy nomination is no surprise. Just as the PFLP is a Marxist group serving jihadi goals, so also the left in general sees jihadis as friends and allies.
“Gazan Filmmaker With Ties to Palestinian Terror Group Nominated For News and Documentary Emmy,” by Kassy Akiva, Daily Wire, August 7, 2024:
A Gazan woman with long ties to a U.S.-designated terror organization was nominated in June for the 2024 News and Documentary Emmy Awards.
Bisan Owda, who was once a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), was nominated with her outlet, AJ+ in the Outstanding Hard News Feature Story: Short Form category for her Al Jazeera show “It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive.” The video series documents Owda’s experience since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, during which the terrorist group killed over a thousand people and took hundreds hostage.
But Owda’s 4.7 million Instagram followers may not be aware of her ties to the PFLP. Owda’s connection with the group was first reported by Israeli activist Eitan Fischberger, who found evidence that Owda was a member of the Marxist terror organization, which has a history of airplane hijackings and suicide bombings.
The PFLP, which has been a U.S.-designated terror organization since 1997, identified Owda as a member of its youth wing in a 2018 post on its website. In a 2015 on-camera interview with a Palestinian outlet, Owda, wearing military garb and a PFLP scarf, said she would not back down from “revolution.”…
Owda was nominated by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), the organization responsible for the News and Documentary Emmys. The New York City-based organization is separate from the Primetime Emmy Awards bestowed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences….

Hollywood doesn’t care that she was and still is a member of terrorist organizations. In fact that fact lends additional praise for her and her film. Hollywood is all in with Palestinian “resistance”. The fact that so many Hollywood people are Jewish adds a new understanding of the absurdity of the whole thing, like “Gays for Hamas”.
