One month ago, Canary Mission revealed the extreme anti-Semitism of professional anti-Israel group American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Their bigotry is all-encompassing from top to bottom, from the group’s founder, Hatem Bazian, to board members, national directors, local chapter directors and regular activists.
We exposed 25 AMP activists in our July 2019 REPORT.
In the course of the investigation, Canary Mission made a shocking discovery - AMP had developed a close strategic partnership with Jewish anti-Israel organization IfNotNow.
58 activists with IfNotNow who actively partnered or trained with the anti-Semitic AMP were also exposed in our July report.
IfNotNow’s leadership took the decision to partner with AMP beginning in 2017. Since then, they have pushed their members to collaborate with some of AMP’s most anti-Semitic professional activists, including:
Taher Herzallah - AMP’s Associate Director of Outreach and Grassroots Organizing who celebrates and incites violence against Israeli Jews. IfNotNow leaders invited him to train their members and led protests together with him in 2017 and 2018.
Neveen Ayesh - the executive director of AMP-Missouri, who said being Jewish was a “#crimeworthyoftherope” and called to “burn” Israelis into “ashes.” In July 2018, three IfNotNow activists who staged a “walk off” from a Birthright Israel trip conducted an exclusive livestream conference call with Ayesh.
Hatem Bazian - AMP founder, spreads classic anti-Semitism, denies Jewish peoplehood and compares Israel to Nazi Germany. He stated his personal approval of the partnership, declaring at a co-hosted event in May 2018 that “AMP and IfNotNow are coming together”.
After 30 days, over 80 profiles and two videos showing the truth about the partnership between IfNotNow and AMP, IfNotNow still has not condemned AMP’s anti-Semitism that has included mocking the Holocaust, spreading white supremacist propaganda and calling for the murder of Jews.
IfNotNow has not apologized.
IfNotNow has not expressed regret.
IfNotNow has said absolutely nothing.
