Anna Joseph
Anna Joseph has spread anti-Semitism and expressed support for a terrorist.
As of March 2025, Anna Joseph was listed as working as a staff attorney at the Northern Manhatten Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR) in New York, New York.
As of the same date, Anna Joseph's LinkedIn profile said she graduated from Harvard Law School (Harvard Law) with a JD in 2016.
On October 27, 2015, Joseph posted on Facebook an article titled: "A Harry Potter fan has called out JK Rowling in the best way possible".
The article contained a letter written by a fan to J.K. Rowling, which stated: "You see, my Battle of Hogwarts dreams have always had the death eaters as Zionists, and Harry and his peers as Palestinians. Knowing that the idea for your epic novels was from World War II and the Nazis, I naturally drew parallels between the books and Zionist Israel and Palestine..."
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) highlights as one possible contemporary example of anti-Semitism: “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Over 40 countries have adopted the definition as well.
The letter further read: "... the Palestinians who are literally fenced into ghetto villages by an 8m concrete wall, checkpoints and watch towers (which eerily look like the watch towers of Nazi concentration camps)..."
Israeli checkpoints were built to prevent terror attacks, such as suicide bombings, against Israel's civilian population.
The letter also expressed support for terrorist Ahmad Salih Manasra.
Ahmed Manasra (sometimes spelled Mansara) and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan went on a stabbing spree in Jerusalem on October 12, 2015, during the Knife Intifada. They critically wounded a 13-year-old boy and moderately wounded a 25-year-old man. The spree ended when police shot Hassan and a passing motorist hit Ahmed. Ahmed was taken to an Israeli hospital. He admitted to investigators: “I went there to stab Jews.” He was later tried and convicted on two counts of attempted murder.
The letter continued: "I for one just love to read about American Jews who have no genetic ties to Israel but want to move there..."
One way anti-Israel activists spread anti-Semitism is by denying [00:17:45] Jewish history, with the aim of delegitimizing restored Jewish sovereignty, attacking Israel’s legitimacy and portraying Jews as foreign to the Land of Israel.
