New York City's first lady is currently at an Islamic retreat run by a group that has called for abolishing Israel and prayed to Allah to "cleanse Palestine" of its Jewish "oppressors"https://t.co/TIt6rFGoII
Eat, pray, bomb.
New York City's first lady is currently wrapping up a week as an "artist-in-residence" at a luxury Islamic wellness retreat that has called for the destruction of Israel and openly celebrated Palestinian terrorism, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
While Rama Duwaji went from the river to the spa, her husband rolled out his own "strategy to combat antisemitism"—a move widely panned by Jewish New Yorkers.

Duwaji's attendance at the spiritual wellness gathering in Porto, Portugal was previously reported by the New York Post, but the extremism of the group had not been previously known.The retreat, known as the Women Sanctuary, is currently in its second session of the month at an 18th-century Portuguese castle that's now a high-end hotel and event space. The listed price for five nights in a private, single room at the Women's Sanctuary is $5,216.
Duwaji, who calls herself "a Syrian illustrator and animator" even though she was born in Houston, is believed to be doing Arabic calligraphy at the retreat. She is currently featured on the Women Sanctuary website as a member of the team, bizarrely under the fake name "Karl Holland."
