As of the same date, Basak Kilicbeyli's LinkedIn said she graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) with a master's degree in 2022.
Kilicbeyli reposted an October 13, 2023 post on X that said: "Gaza now is a concentration camp. What Israel is doing to Palestinians is a holocaust...You blame Palestinians for resisting? They must."
Anti-Israel activists compare Israel to Nazi Germany to insinuate that the plight of Palestinians has eclipsed Jewish suffering during the Holocaust.
Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” is a euphemism for nationalistic terror and is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, thousands of heavily armed Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza. They executed numerous war crimes on civilians, including mass murder, beheadings of children, rape of men and women, torture, kidnappings and mutilation.
Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ accounts for families to see. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”
Kilicbeyli reposted an October 8, 2023 post on X that said: "...This is how [Israeli] settlers leave the territories they occupy when the s**t hits the fan."
One way that anti-Israel activists spread anti-Semitism is to claim [00:06:46] that Jews, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, do not descend from the ancient Israelites. This claim alleges that Jews are white Europeans who lack a connection to the Land of Israel.
On February 19, 2024, during Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, Kilicbeyli posted on X, accusing Israel of committing "gen o cide" against Palestinians in Gaza.
On May 26, 2024, Kilicbeyli posted on X, referring to Israel as a "terrorist state."
