Abu Hawash is jailed under Israeli administrative detention order (no charge or trial), which has been renewed successively, since 27 October 2020 #FreeHisham.”
Hisham Abu Hawash is affiliated with the the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). In October 2021, Abu Hawash, along with five other prisoners affiliated with the Al-Quds Brigades, chose to prolong their hunger strike in protest to their administrative detention by Israel.
Owaida retweeted a May 13, 2022 tweet that said: “Black and Palestinian liberation — two sides of the same coin (1988 PFLP poster).”
The tweet included a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) poster, which said: “No to Zionism and Racism” in Hebrew and Arabic.
The PFLP is dedicated to the violent destruction of Israel. It is designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the United States. The EU, Canada, the Gulf Cooperation Council, Australia and Israel also list it as a terror group due to its history of carrying out assassinations, suicide bombings, hijackings and multiple murders.
On June 14, 2019, Owaida tweeted: “zionists are so hypocritical that they’re scared to be called nazis so in conclusion: f**k israel.”
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 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.
