Glorifying Terrorists
On August 2, 2017, Mabruk tweeted: “#HonorRasmea and attend Rasmea's Farewell on August 12th…”Odeh was a military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an internationally designated terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a bombing that killed two university students in a Jerusalem supermarket. Odeh also attempted to bomb the British consulate.
Odeh confessed, in a highly detailed account, the day following her arrest. In a 2004 documentary, one of Odeh’s co-conspirators directly implicated her as the mastermind.
In 1970, an Israeli court tried and convicted Odeh for her involvement in both bombings and sentenced her to life imprisonment. However, Odeh was released 10 years later, in a prisoner swap and emigrated to the United States. In 2017, Odeh was deported to Jordan and stripped of U.S. citizenship, after admitting to immigration fraud.
On May 29, 2017, Mabruk tweeted: “PYM [Palestinian Youth Movement ] offers second annual Ghassan Kanafani Scholarship...”
Kanafani was a leading member and spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) during the terrorist organization’s early years. Kanafani announced the PFLP’s responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre of May 1972 and was linked to the airport attackers. The attack killed 26 people and wounded 80 others.
On May 22, 2017, Mabruk tweeted: “1600 Palestinian political prisoners on day 36 of the #DignityStrike #DignityStrike36.”
“Dignity Strike” refers to a hunger strike initiated by Marwan Barghouti on April 16, 2017. More than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners participated in the strike – most them also convicted for acts of terrorism. Barghouti headed the Palestinian Authority (PA) terrorist Tanzim force and founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. He was sentenced to five consecutive life terms by an Israeli civilian court for some of his crimes, including his role in the Sbarro Cafe bombing.
On May 11, 2017, Mabruk tweeted: “.@uspcn [US Palestinian Community Network] is holding an all day ‘Hunger Strike & Encampment’ event in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners today!..”
On April 2, 2017, Mabruk tweeted: “Rasmea speaking at the #JVPNMM [Jewish Voice for Peace National Members Meeting] is giving me chills #Justice4Rasmea #SupportRasmea.”
On September 13, 2015, Mabruk tweeted: “Rasmea ran a 5k today. She's so cute OMG [Oh my God]
. ”On February 18, 2013, Mabruk tweeted: “#ReleaseIssawi ‘Our goal is to be free and sovereign in our liberated state and in our blessed Jerusalem.’ -Samar Issawi.”
Samer Issawi is a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) who received a 26-year prison sentence in 2002. During the second intifada, Issawi manufactured and distributed pipe bombs and fired indiscriminately on Israeli civilian vehicles. In December 2013, Issawi called for the kidnapping of Israelis, saying: “The [Palestinian] prisoners' release will be brought about by kidnapping and [prisoner] exchanges. Nothing will happen without that.”
Celebrating Intifada Violence
On October 6, 2015, Mabruk tweeted: “Check this out: 13 pictures that prove #Palestinians will welcome third Intifada…”Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.
In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians. The attacks were incited by Palestinian leaders propagating the libel that Israel intended to desecrate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
The terror group Hamas also called for a third Intifada in 2015, having failed in its attempt to spark a third Intifada in 2014.
Hatred of Zionists
In 2014 and 2015, Mabruk tweeted multiple times using the term "Zio," which is a commonly used derogatory reference to Zionists and an often-used anti-Semitic slur.On June 16, 2015, during a basketball match between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mabruk tweeted: “I really hope the Warriors win. Mainly because Curry
and the fact that the cavs coach is a zio khara [s**t].”Mabruk’s tweet was referring to Stephen Curry, a basketball player for the Golden State Warriors, and the Cavaliers’ coach at the time, Jewish American-Israeli David Blatt.
On May 4, 2015, Mabruk tweeted: “so the Cavalier's coach is a zio pos [piece of s**t]...”
On February 13, 2015, Mabruk tweeted: “... idk [i don’t know] how the Zio trolls always find us.”
On July 23, 2014, Mabruk tweeted: “The zios literally watch our every move. Don't be dumb. It's not even worth it.”
On May 7, 2014, Mabruk tweeted: “TWITTER POLL: unfriend the zio and let it be awkward? or leave it alone?”
Demonizing Israel
During Israel’s “Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW)” against Hamas in Gaza, Mabruk retweeted a May 17, 2021 tweet that said: “F**king disgusting. This is American funded genocide #GazaUnderAttak #PalestinianLivesMatter.”On February 20, 2016, Mabruk tweeted: “...No to birthright trips to apartheid Israel.”

On February 13, 2015, Mabruk tweeted: “The Nakba was and is a committed genocide against the Palestinian people and it had not stopped. #NeverForget #ColonialismIsNotOver.”
The term “Nakba” is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term often used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by defining it as a catastrophe.
Anti-Israel Activism
On May 15, 2020, Mabruk tweeted, saying she attended “an SJP event,” where she made the acquaintance of another anti-Israel activist, Nader Ihmoud.On May 10, 2017, Mabruk tweeted, referring to Israel’s security barrier: “SJP DePaul built this mock Israeli apartheid wall
I always feel…”“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” is a chant calling to dismantle the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state.
On April 13, 2016, Mabruk tweeted: “Come out tonight at 5 for @SJPLoyola1's event…” referring to an SJP Loyola Israeli Apartheid Week 2016 event, titled “Recovering Palestine from the Media,” which featured Palestine in America! Editor-in-Chief, Nader Ihmoud.

BDS
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by Omar Barghouti in 2005 to challenge “international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.” BDS is an allegedly “Palestinian-led movement,” although leading BDS activists have admitted [00:01:01] this is not true.
One of the demands of BDS includes [point 3] what is generally known as the “right of return,” a demand discredited as a way to eliminate Israel. Barghouti said the “right of return” is a means to “end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.”
Barghouti has said that BDS “aims to turn Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.”
In his activism, Barghouti has also said [00:05:55] regarding Israel: “Definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No…rational Palestinian, not a sellout Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
The movement has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and received a public endorsement from Hamas in 2017.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments and student groups, backed by their own anti-Israel members and affiliates, have proposed resolutions on some form of boycott of, or divestment from, Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities.
Boycott resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.
BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. On one campus, when the student government debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats against those opposing it.
SJP
SJP is a student organization engaged in anti-Israel activity on North American college and university campuses.
The first chapter of SJP was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley by Professor Hatem Bazian. Bazian has spread classic anti-Semitism, reportedly promoted religious anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group. In 2004, Bazian called for “intifada” in America.
SJP organizes anti-Israel campaigns, including running annual Israel Apartheid Weeks, often in collaboration with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Muslim Students Association (MSA) campus chapters.
SJP has been a major force in pushing the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement on campuses. Chapters have initiated dozens of BDS resolutions in student governments, which have been proposed on or around Jewish holidays, a time when many Jewish students are off-campus.
SJP activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated and harassed Jewish students, disrupted pro-Israel campus events and demonized pro-Israel campus organizations.
Chapters have often endorsed and campaigned for numerous terrorists and whitewashed terrorism.
