Amal Khoury
Overview
Amal Khoury is a university employee who spread anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists in late 2023.Khoury wrote her remarks online after a series of Hamas terror atrocities and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023.
The Hamas terror attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 2] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
Spreading Anti-Semitism During Israel’s War Against Hamas
On November 21, 2023, Khoury wrote: “...And why do the Jews get their own Jewish state! That is a bit hmmm.”On November 8, 2023, Khoury posted on Facebook: “Let’s find out where the current population of Israel is really from…here’s a clue, not the Middle East.” Khoury included an Instagram video of a speaker talking about Israelis, saying: “you come from Poland, you come from Ukraine, you came from Europe, you came from everywhere else...”
One way that anti-Israel activists spread anti-Semitism is to claim [00:06:46] that Israeli Jews, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, do not descend from the ancient Israelites.
This claim alleges that Israeli Jews are white Europeans who lack a connection to the Land of Israel. The Khazar myth is a common version of this claim which is used to delegitimize [00:02:16] the existence of the modern State of Israel.
Hatred of Israel
On November 28, 2023, Khoury shared a Facebook post with an image showing a lion draped in a Palestinian flag, standing in front of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem while holding in its mouth a rat wrapped in an Israeli flag. Comparing Jews to rats was a technique of Nazi propagandists.The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.
On November 1, 2023, Khoury posted on Facebook: “...Israel is claiming to be targeting Hamas hiding out in underground tunnels, Gaza is a small strip of land at sea level… how far down did they dig these tunnels housing 10,000 people when we don’t even have basements in Florida? I’m no engineer so help me understand how it would be possible to create these tunnels? / Open your eyes, this is genoside.#FreePalestine.”
