Celebrating the Death of Jews
On January 28, 2023, one day after a terrorist attack targeting Jews in Jerusalem, Saadeh tweeted: “an eye for an eye, this is so good.” Her tweet was in response to a tweet that showed Palestinians in Gaza celebrating the attack.
On January 27, 2023, on the evening of the Jewish Sabbath, Palestinian terrorist Alqam Khayri opened fire on Jewish civilians in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood of Jerusalem. Khayri killed seven people and wounded three before he was shot and killed by the police.

Also on January 28, 2023, Saadeh tweeted: “glory to the resistance,” in response to a tweet showing Palestinians marching in Gaza and handing out candy in celebration of the “shooting operation” the day before in Jerusalem.
On April 30, 2021, Saadeh tweeted a since-deleted tweet: “but actually this is so sad, i wish it was a larger bridge :/”
Saadeh included a New Press (English) tweet that read: “A number of Israeli settlers were killed and wounded due to a bridge collapse in Galilee, north occupied Palestine. #NewPress_en.” The tweet featured a video of Israeli paramedics trying to carry bodies out from the event on stretchers through a large crowd.
During the 2021 Meron Stampede, 45 Jewish worshipers, including many children, were crushed to death. More than 150 people were injured in a massive crowd surge at the annual Lag B’Omer festival held near the gravesite of 2nd century Jewish sage, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, at Mount Meron in northern Israel. The incident was described as one of Israel’s “deadliest peacetime tragedies.”
Saadeh then responded to the comment: “And what does a 9 or 13 year old boy have to do with the Israeli government’s actions?” tweeting: “israel as a whole is a zionist entity wtf [what the f**k] are you talking about lmao [laughing my a** off].”

Later that same day, Saadeh defended her tweet against other critical responses, writing: “wallah they think we care too.” Saadeh also added: “am i ever not getting targeted by them
yeah they found my tweets abt [about] the bridge lmfao [laughing my f**king a** off].”

On January 13, 2015, Saadeh tweeted: “any string of curse words/phrases is okay in any Palestinian household with the addition of ‘3al yahood [on the jews]’ at the end.”
On July 31, 2015, Saadeh tweeted: “I caught the tail lights of the truck and me cursing 3ala America and el Yahood [at America and the Jews] bc why not.”
On June 15, 2016, Saadeh tweeted: “look at all these horrible people making me swear and I just began fasting for the day. Allahuma inee sayim [I swear by God I am fasting], Allah yil3an el yahood [May Allah curse the jews].”
On September 28, 2016, Saadeh tweeted: “@TrillestGirll 3anjad Allah yil3an el yahood [seriously may Allah curse the jews].”
On December 28, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “i’m glad to see we’re still punching nazis.” Her tweet was in response to another tweet from New York Post reporting that a Jewish person was attacked in Brooklyn for wearing an Israeli military sweatshirt.
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.”
Incitement
On April 15, 2022, Saadeh tweeted a video of clashes at the Temple Mount and wrote: “occupation forces storming al aqsa while people are praying but palestinian men standing up and fighting back.”
On May 7-10, 2021, violent clashes broke out between Palestinian worshippers and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa compound, following claims that Al-Aqsa Mosque was in danger. The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy Al-Aqsa has been a traditional pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state.
Saadeh retweeted an April 14, 2022 tweet that said: “The chants of the young men fill Al Aqsa ahead of the planned Passover invasion by Jewish Zionists.” The tweet included a video of Palestinians in the Al Aqsa mosque chanting: “be-ruh be-dam nifdik ya Aqsa[With spirit, with blood, we will redeem you, Aqsa].”
The chant: “be-ruh be-dam nifdik ya Aqsaبروح ودم نفديك يااقصى [With spirit, with blood, we will redeem you, Aqsa]” can be heard [00:01:14] at anti-Israel rallies [00:02:19] in America. Yasser Arafat popularized the chant [00:00:23], which is invoked by anti-Israel protesters regarding a variety of causes.
Saadeh retweeted another April 14, 2022 tweet that said: “They do this every year during the holiest month as a deliberate attempt to establish dominance in Al Aqsa and they fail every single time. And they will continue to fail. Our people will resist until death. Our people will never bow down to these zionist pigs.”
Ramadan is an Islamic holy month during which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset and are meant to engage in self-reflection, repentance and the giving of charity. Ramadan is frequently marked by increased anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric throughout the Arab world, Palestinian violence in Israel and heightened tensions centered in the Old City of Jerusalem.
On May 9, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “i love it when palestinians” and attached a video of Palestinians outside of the Al Aqsa mosque, chanting “يا حماس يا حبيب اضرب اضرب تل ابيب يا قسامي يا حبيب اضرب اضرب تل ابيب ya hamas ya 7abib udrub udrub Tal-Abib ya Qassami ya 7abib udrub udrub Tal-Abib [Oh dear Hamas bomb bomb Tel Aviv, Oh dear Qassam bomb bomb Tel-Aviv]”
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades is the military wing of Hamas.
On that same day, Saadeh tweeted: “any and all palestinian resistance is necessary and acceptable. do not let people lie to you and call it unwarranted violence.”
In the modern Palestinian lexicon, the term resistance is often a euphemism for nationalistic terror, and is often used to excuse or even glorify anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
Saadeh then tweeted: “there is no difference between a ‘peaceful and compliant’ palestinian and a ‘violent’ one because there is no peace without justice. palestine will be liberated by any means necessary.”
On May 12, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “palestinians in ‘48, gaza, the west bank and the diaspora have all unified in our response. we have finally figured this out, the intifada is here.
Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.

On May 13, 202, Saadeh tweeted: ‘#GazaUnderAttack #SaveSheikhJarrah #HandsOffAlAqsa these are three separate hashtags and do not even cover all of the atrocities currently enacted by israel towards palestinians. think about that for a second.”
On May 15, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “ODROB ODROB [BOMB BOMB] TEL AVIV.” She attached a tweet and video by the Iranian news site New Press that said: “#شاهد: تل أبيب بعد قصفها من المقاومة الفلسطينية. [#Watch: Tel Aviv after being bombed by the Palestinian resistance.]” The tweetincluded a video documenting missile damage on a Tel Aviv street.
On that same day, Saadeh tweeted: “odrob odrob
and attached a now-deleted tweet that said: “Abu Obeida We prepared ourselves to keep Tel Aviv under rocket attack for six months.”
Incitement around Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah were leading factors in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists firing over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at Israel’s major centers on May 10-21, 2021. In response, Israel launched “Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW),” striking military targets in the terrorist-controlled enclave.

Support for Terrorists
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, an estimated 2,900 heavily armed Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza. They executed numerous war crimes on civilians, including mass murder, beheadings of children, rape, torture, kidnappings and desecration of bodies. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”
Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ social media for families to see.
As of October 29, 2023, over 1,400 Israelis, the vast majority being civilians, had reportedly been murdered during the attacks three weeks earlier. Details are below. Hamas kidnapped an estimated 230 Israelis, including 30 children. Over 3,000 were wounded, many severely. As of the same date, over 8,000 missiles had been fired from Gaza at Israeli communities, with Hamas claiming 5,000 the day it launched the attack.
Hamas began by launching thousands of rockets at Israel and using motorized paragliders “to infiltrate Israeli territory and secure terrain.” Terrorist ground forces destroyed parts of the border fence with Gaza, murdering and kidnapping soldiers.
The terrorists then turned their attention to 22 communities around Gaza, where they went house to house to savagely murder, mutilate and kidnap anyone they found. They executed children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children. They also beheaded children and babies, and massacred entire families, burning some alive who hid in their homes. Hamas terrorists kicked around the heads of beheaded victims like soccer balls. Israelis between the ages of three and 85 were kidnapped and taken to Gaza. Hamas has not allowed the Red Cross access to the hostages.
Over 260 unarmed young men and women were surrounded and slaughtered at one music festival alone. Bodies were publicly desecrated, with some dragged through the streets of Gaza, then beheaded. Women were raped next to the bodies of dead friends.
Forensic analysis of dead bodies showed evidence of torture and rape. Hamas terrorists said they were given explicit orders to carry out the atrocities, including chopping off victims’ legs and raping corpses. Hamas intentionally targeted youth centers and elementary schools to execute and kidnap children. They also took stimulant drugs to give added energy to murder and maim. Nazis also took drugs during World War II to fuel their anti-Semitic massacres.
The atrocities were acknowledged as the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, including by U.S. President Biden, who also compared Hamas to ISIS. Hamas attacked on the annual holiday of Simchat Torah, which that year was on Shabbat, the weekly Jewish Sabbath.
The Hamas atrocities against Israeli civilians are crimes against humanity according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The mass murder generated great sympathy for Israel from many countries but led to countless celebrations among Palestinians and anti-Israel organizations in America that back the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

In addition, Hamas called the the October 7, 2023 terror attacks “Al-Aqsa Flood,” a reference to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the mosque has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before Israel was founded in 1948. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.
On October 7, 2023, Saadeh shared a photo on Twitter that showed Hamas terrorists entering Israel’s borders through a breach in Israel’s security fence and wrote: “it’s so hard to reconcile that images i have been dreaming of since i was born are now reality. this is amazing.”
On October 7, 2023, Saadeh shared on Twitter a screenshot of an Instagram post with a photo of a Hamas militant paragliding across Israel’s border in order to commit terror attacks that said: “Can you imagine dreaming of freedom for so long, you learn how to fly?” Saadeh commented: “caption. nearly brought me to tears.”
The following day, Saadeh tweeted, regarding the photo: “it makes me tear up every time i see it wallah ˙◠˙”
On October 7, 2023, Saadeh tweeted: “...i’m going to fall asleep tonight knowing that honorable palestinians did what was necessary in the name of liberation. free palestine.” Saadeh also tweeted: “...i feel no remorse at the prospect of what happens to illegal settlers.”
On October 7, 2023, Saadeh tweeted: “May every freedom fighter have a safe return home after this. May they bear the fruits of their labor. May we see a liberated Palestine in our lifetime at whatever cost.”
On April 18, 2022, Saadeh tweeted: “glory to the resistance.” Her tweet included another tweet that said: “Official statement by Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas): announces that its air defenses responded at 1:35 this morning to the hostile Zionist warplanes in the sky of the Gaza Strip with surface-to-air missiles [first time use].”
On the same day, Saadeh tweeted a video of rockets being fired at Israel from Gaza and wrote: “allahu abkar [god is the greatest]. this is beautiful to see. and russian missiles, it’s de@th the US and israel today.”
On May 13, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “palestinians in gaza right now: We ask everyone to stop filming/sharing footage of the firing of rockets towards the Zionist state because it will negatively affect our resistance. Not sharing will stop [Israel’s] ability to pinpoint where the rockets are being fired from.”

Saadeh then said in the same thread: ‘can we just note that it still is not about keeping their identities safe for themselves but to keep the resistance alive. this is so bittersweet, their resilience is astounding but heartbreaking.”
Saadeh finished her Twitter thread by stating: “for clarification: you can share the rocket while it’s in the sky or the moment it reaches it targets; but not the moment it leaves its location. please, please please listen to them on the ground #GenocideinGaza.”
Calling for Israel's Destruction
On August 24, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “israel will fall in our lifetime, love. can’t wait for that.”
On May 7, 2021, during the month of Ramadan, Saadeh tweeted: “and on this holy day of this holy month i pray for a liberated palestine at the hands of a complete annihilation of the state of isr*el.”

On March 14, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “contrary to popular belief, i do not want israel to give palestinians basic human rights. i want israel to cease to exist completely.”
On November 20, 2020, Saadeh tweeted: “next time a z*onist says some bullsh!t like ‘i wouldn’t exist without isr*el
i’m gonna say what we’re all thinking. thank god, even more reason to want to see it burn.”Glorifying Terrorists
On April 7, 2022, following a terror attack in Tel Aviv, Saadeh tweeted: “any act under a violent and oppressive regime cannot be considered a violent terrorist attacking, they’re organized operations that are vital to resistance. seeing palestinians organize during ramadan is so beautiful to see.”
On April 8, 2022, Ra’ad Hazem opened fire on a bar in Tel Aviv killing three and wounding several others.Hazem opened fire a second time after he was tracked down by Israeli forces.He was killed during the firefight. Hazem’s father, a former security officer with the Palestinian Authority, praised his son for the terror attack.
Also, on April 7, 2022, Saadeh tweeted: “

The tweet also said: “Make some noise for Abu Obeida boys.#ابو_عبيدة [#Abu Obeida] #Gaza #Hamas.”On May 16, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: ““that’s a conversation between the sword and the neck” — ghassan kanafani, when asked why he didn’t engage in peace talks with israelis.”
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 14, 2021, Saadeh tweeted a photo of Leila Khaled posing with an AK-47 assault rifle, and added: “i love my queen.”
Leila Khaled is a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and participated in the hijacking of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970. As of 2017, Khaled was a member of PFLP's Political Bureau. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated [00:36:07] for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.
On May 12, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “israeli occupation forces re-entering occupied lidd [Lod] after palestinians ran them and illegal settlers out yesterday. they are terrified of our courage and resoluteness to the land.”

On May 11, 2021, during OGW, violent Arab riots broke out in Israel’s mixed Jewish-Arab city of Lod and in other Israeli cities with large Arab populations. The Lod rioters reportedly raised Hamas and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flags, and attacked Israeli civilians with slabs and rocks, firebombs and metal rods. Rioters also torched synagogues, cars and businesses, and vandalized hospital medical equipment, schools and government buildings.
On May 14, 2021, Saadeh shared a tweet to her Twitter that said: “— Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claims responsibility for the rocket attack launched from Syria” and added: “this is sexy.”
On May 15, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “palestinians in kafr lana, a city in israel, throwing rocks at an israeli car.” Saadeh attached a video of about twenty men throwing stones and boulders at a civilian car.
Although romanticized as a form of “popular resistance,” rock throwing remains a deadly form of violence.
On May 18, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “inshAllah [may it be the will of Allah] many more to come too,” and included a tweet that said: “two iof soldiers were shot in al bireh.”
“IOF” stands for Israeli Occupation Forces, a derogatory name used by anti-Israel activists to demonize Israel’s army in place of its official name, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Violent Hatred of Zionists and Israelis
On July 3, 2023, during an Israeli counterterrorism operation in Jenin, Saadeh tweeted: “and may we see their rotting bodies in our lifetimes. Ameen.” Her tweet was in response to a tweet from the Times of Gaza that said over 1,000 Israeli soldiers participated in the “mass invasion” of Jenin.
In early July 2023, Israeli forces launched a two-day counterterrorism operation in the Jenin refugee camp. Its goal was to target terrorists and dismantle the terror infrastructure of organizations such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). By the end of the operation, the Israeli army had reportedly dismantled “hundreds of explosives, weapons caches and underground tunnels.”
On May 12, 2021, Saadeh tweeted: “palestinians in haifa casually burning a man’s face. i love it here.” She attached a video of a firebomb being thrown at a passerby in the Israeli city of Haifa.
On May 10, 2021, Saadeh tweeted “fvck them all to hell. literally. they will burn.” She attached a tweet of photos of Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall, praying and dancing in celebration of Jerusalem Day, a holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalem following the June 1967 Six-Day War.
On May 1, 2021, Saadeh tweeted a graphic with the phrase: “Stop telling Palestinian women they’re pretty. They know. Tell these zionist b**ches they ugly. They the ones that’s confused.”
On May 1, 2021, Saadeh tweeted a graphic with the phrase: “Stop telling Palestinian women they’re pretty. They know. Tell these zionist b**ches they ugly. They the ones that’s confused.”
Saadeh added: “impossible to be a pretty zionist. all zios are ugly x.”
The term "Zio" is a common derogatory reference to Zionists, as well as an often-used anti-Semitic slur among white supremacists.
Anti-Israel Activity at UIC
On January 22, 2016, Saadeh posted to Facebook: “UIC Divest is a coalition of students, faculty and staff calling upon the university to remove its investments from corporations profiting from and allowing human rights violations against the Palestinian people.” Saadeh also attached a poster promoting UIC DIvest.
In January 2016, SJP UIC launched UIC Divest, a campaign calling for UIC “to divest from companies that support the illegal occupation of Palestine such as G4S, Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard and Boeing.
In February 2016, SJP UIC united with 23 other student groups to co-sponsor a BDS resolution that proposed “divestment from companies profiting from human rights abuses and violations of international law in Palestine.”
The resolution’s wording was later modified due to efforts to blunt its original anti-Israel focus and called on UIC to divest from “companies actively engaged in human rights violations in Palestine, Syria, China, United States, US-Mexican border, and Chicago.”
On February 15, 2016, the modified resolution passed unanimously.
Later that day, SJP UIC’s press release stated: “While tonight’s divestment vote is an important step in the divestment movement, we recognize that this is just the beginning. We are committed to working towards urging the university to divest wholly from the Israeli occupation....”
On February 16, 2016, Saadeh posted to Facebook: “Such a beautiful feeling. #UICDivest passed unanimously. So much love and solidarity tonight. Thank you to everyone who was apart of this and allowed us to make this happen. Special thank you to Cedez for catching this powerful outburst of euphoria in a room packed with those who helped make this happen, and allowed history to be made tonight. (Fastest divestment resolution to be passed, in the history of ever? I think so!)”
On October 14, 2015, during the then-ongoing “Knife Intifada,” Saadeh participated in UIC SJP’s “emergency protest in response to an international call for a day of action.”
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.
On October 14, 2015, Saadeh tweeted a photo of herself holding a sign stating: “Your Silence is Killing Palestine” along with bloody handprints. She also tweeted a photo of herself posing with other SJP UIC activists around the same sign, and photos of the die-in event. Saadeh added: “Our Take on the International Day of Action. UIC SJP REPRESENT.”
On October 15, 2015, SJP UIC posted to their Facebook page a video of their die-in, where members were shown playing children’s games, and then falling to the ground, their shirts covered in simulated blood.
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.
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.
