Mustafa is the student coordinator for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) - Portland, which has a long history of anti-Israel work.

She is also a member of Study Group: The Battle for Justice in Palestine, which is dedicated to studying the book of the same name by anti-Israel propagandist Ali Abunimah. On April 20, 2014, Mustafa called it a "great book" on Twitter.
As of March 2020, said she graduated from PSU in 2017, with a bachelor’s degree in “Liberal Studies” and that she was a “Site Support Specialist” at “CODA, Inc,” from “May 2019 - Present.”
On January 27, 2020, Mustafa tweeted: “It’s happening! This summer I finally get the chance to go to Palestine and I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about anything in my life 
.”
On October 29, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet with a man holding a large knife and making a victory sign while wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh on his head. The tweet included the text: "Victory to Palestine is near... #intifadaAlQuds #FreePalestine."
October 2015 saw an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the "Knife Intifada," saw young Palestinians across Israel stabbing and attempting to stab scores of Israeli civilians. The attacks were sparked and fueled by the libel that Israel intended to desecrate the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
On October 20, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet which stated: "Netanyahu can't claim he is protecting al-Aqsa while at the same time funding Aqsa destructionist terror groups."
On October 20, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet which stated: "Nothing will stop us from resisting. #intifadaAlAqsa #FreePalestine."
On November 5, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet which showed a photo of an armed militant and the text: "Solidarity: ‘With al-Aqsa and the third intifada. From the revolutionaries of Beit Sahem [south of Damascus].’"
On November 5, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet with the photos of four men allegedly "Murdered by Zionist Terrorist." In truth, each one had attacked Israeli security forces and were killed in the act of act. Among them was Ibrahim Saqafi, who attempted to hit an Israeli border police officer with a car.
On November 6, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet containing Hamas propaganda, idolizing the "martyr" 72-year-old Thrwat Alsharawi, who attempted a vehicular ramming attack on Israeli soldiers.
On October 13, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet which stated: "Never understand how non-Jewish politicians are sooooo comfy with Jewish practice/theology/laws (not to mention zionism)...."
On July 3, 2015, Mustafa tweeted that "Israel has mastered the warehousing of people."
On May 6, 2014, Mustafa retweeted a tweet accusing Israel of "GENOCIDE" and “ETHNIC CLEANSING” every year since its founding in 1948.
On October 13, 2015, Mustafa tweeted: "Best $15 I ever spent!
” alongside a photo of a shirt that read “STRAIGHT OUTTA F**K ISRAEL.”
On October 26, 2016 — one day after the BDS resolution passed at PSU — Mustafa retweeted a tweet which said: "wore @mustafadana's keffiyeh in a class i have with a zionist. i watched his face go from ‘oh sh*t’ to ‘gotta text my zionist friends.’"
On May 12, 2016, Mustafa participated in a rally where she stood on stage and someone held the sign "STOP ISRAELI OCCUPATION AND APARTHEID" while fellow SUPER member Heidi Sipress said: “If you are down with Palestine liberation and against Israeli occupation and apartheid, that racist Zionist regime, you need to join SUPER and get on board.”
On October 24-26, 2014, Mustafa participated in the 2014 National SJP Conference which was hosted by SJP at Tufts University (SJP Tufts).
The event hosted International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) founder Sara Kershner, who accused Israel of committing "genocide."
One workshop reportedly trained participants to confront and intimidate pro-Israel students.
Clothing was sold at the conference, including a shirt with the image of airplane hijacker Leila Khaled — a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) — with the text "resistance is not terrorism."
Although the event was listed as "free and open to the public," at least one student journalist was refused press credentials.
Conference attendee Ofek Ravid said that he was "booed and hissed at" — and told by “several members in the crowd to f**k off” — for suggesting that “Israel needs to be looked at as a complex nation through a dialectic lens, not as a black and white fragment.” Ravid was also asked to leave the building by an SJP representative.
On October 10, 2015, Mustafa retweeted a tweet supporting Rasmea Odeh. Odeh was a military operative with the PFLP, an internationally designated terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a bombing that killed two university students in a Jerusalem supermarket. Odeh also attempted to bomb the British consulate.
Rasmea Odeh was a key military operative [00:02:08] with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a PFLP supermarket bombing that killed two college students. She also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Odeh later moved to the United States but was deported to Jordan in 2017 for immigration fraud.
On October 24, 2016, Mustafa was present at the vote when the ASPSU passed SUPER’s BDS resolution, which attempts to portray the State of Israel as a modern incarnation of Apartheid South Africa. The resolution called on the university to divest from companies with ties to the Jewish state in an effort to discourage these companies from doing further business with Israel.
On May 10, 2016, spoke in favor of SUPER’s BDS resolution before the Associated Students of Portland State University (ASPSU), the PSU student government.
Mustafa attended a SUPER event honoring terrorists.
On February 27, 2016, SUPER hosted its Palestinian Cultural Night where the group set up multiple displays honoring terrorists. Among them were Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) members Leila Khaled and Rasmea Odeh.
Khaled hijacked airplanes with the PFLP in 1969 and 1970 while Odeh masterminded a 1969 bombing that killed two university students in a Jerusalem supermarket and also attempted to bomb the British consulate. Odeh confessed, in a highly detailed account, the day following her arrest. In a 2004 documentary, one of Odeh’s co-conspirators directly implicated her as the mastermind.
The same event honored the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat and senior PLO official Hanan Ashrawi, as well as Haneen Zoabi — a member of Israel’s parliament (the Knesset) — who has been investigated for inciting violence on a number of occasions.
On November 19, 2014, SUPER hosted an event exclusively supporting Odeh.
On March 1, 2014, SUPER hosted another Palestinian Cultural Night where they honored Arafat.
On May 23, 2016, SUPER hosted an event featuring Nada Elia who — in October of 2015, while Palestinians across Israel stabbed scores of Israeli civilians during the “Knife Intifada” — wrote an article titled “Why Be Afraid of an Intifada?” where she said “Intifadas are good.”
On February 27, 2016, SUPER hosted anti-Israel poet Remi Kanazi who is known for his aggressively anti-Israel performances.
On April 9, 2015, SUPER hosted Professor Steven Salaita, the Edward Said Chair of American Studies at the American University of Beirut (AUB).
Mustafa and fellow SUPER activists posed for a photo with Salaita following his presentation.
On February 24, 2015, SUPER hosted BDS founder Omar Barghouti and Cecilie Surasky, Deputy Director of anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).
On May 13, 2014, SUPER hosted anti-Israel propagandist Ali Abunimah, who said in 2010: “Supporting Zionism is not atonement for the Holocaust, but its continuation in spirit.”
On December 13, 2013, SUPER hosted terror supporter Eva Bartlett.
On May 25, 2012, SUPER hosted blood libel propagator Jasbir Puar who has claimed that Israel harvests Palestinian organs and stunts Palestinian growth.
On February 25, 2012, SUPER hosted conspiracy theorist As’ad Abu Khalil who said two weeks earlier that among the “anti-Semitic kooks” within the Palestinian movement were possibly “infiltrators to sabotage our cause and smear our campaigns.”
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 Student 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.
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.
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 infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. 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 and pro-terror activism on campus.
