Spreading Conspiracy Theories
On September 21, 2016, Alaeddin tweeted: “Consider this for a second. Israel is so influential in Congress that they quite literally blackmail the US just so the US can sell arms.” Alaeddin added: “When will it be unacceptable for a senator or congressperson to value Israeli interests over the US's?”

On September 29, 2014, Alaeddin tweeted: “@adffla he's a Zionist pig. :(“

On June 15, 2016, Alaeddin tweeted: “what's the difference? Zionism is a violent racist ideology that making peace with makes you complicit to it.”

Defaming Israel
On March 30, 2017, Alaeddin tweeted: “Israel’s Apartheid is hard to argue when it’s laid out in plain facts.”

On May 8, 2013, Alaeddin tweeted: “Israel is an apartheid colonial-settler state. The occupation of Palestine is not religious. Religion is being exploited by the occupiers.”
Spreading Propaganda
On June 22, 2016, Alaeddin tweeted: “Tell me again what argument the Zionists have when the father of Israel himself admitted occupation.” The tweet included fabricated, partial, distorted and decontextualized quotes — attributed to Israeli and Zionist leaders.
On September 28, 2015, Alaeddin tweeted: “Fifteen years ago, Mohammad Durrah was murdered by the Zionist IDF while he was trying to protect his son.” Alaeddin added: “The shooting was indiscriminate towards unarmed civilians. This is Israel. A terrorist 'country' discriminating and murdering Palestinians.”
The Al-Durah hoax is an iconic piece of anti-Israel propaganda, fabricated on September 30, 2000 at the start of the Second Intifada by a France 2 reporter.
On July 14, 2014, Alaeddin tweeted: “A basic history of the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians Israel and Palestine, an animated introduction.” The tweet linked to a misleading video — produced by Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) — that accused Israel of “Institutionalized discrimination” against non-Jews.
The video also claimed that Israeli Arabs are second class citizens of Israel and misrepresented Israeli security policies as discriminatory and unjust.
The film portrayed Israel as an aggressive, oppressive force that can be influenced only through pressure. Further, the film rejected peace talks as a “theater to cover a land grab.” The film ended with a deceptive call for people to join the BDS movement — disguising the movement’s anti-Semitic core and its ultimate goal of destroying Israel.
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.
