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.

On April 10, 2022, Shabib posted to Instagram a graphic with photos of three Palestinian armed men, including a terrorist Ra’ad Fathi Hazem from Jenin, accompanied by the text “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.” The graphic Shabib posted also said: “Victory for Jenin! Victory for Palestine!”

On April 7, 2022, during a recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis over Ramadan, Ra’ad Hazem opened fire on customers at a crowded bar in central Tel Aviv, killing three and wounding more than a dozen others. Hazem was found hiding near a mosque in Jaffa hours later by Israeli law enforcement and killed during the ensuing firefight. Hazem’s father, a former security officer with the Palestinian Authority, praised his son for the terror attack.

On February 21, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “i was soothing a crying baby today by rocking it back and forth while humming Palestinian resistance music.”

Shabib tweeted: “me under my breath: idirib idirib idirib saroukh al qassami [Bomb, bomb, bomb, Bomb with Qassam missile].” baby:

”

“Idhrib Saroukh al-Qassam” is an anti-Semitic and pro-terrorism Arabic-language song that urges rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza. One of the translated lyrics says: “Prepare the coffin, occupier, Annihilation strike may come at any time, Launch, launch, launch, Launch Kassam's rockets.”

On September 13, 2021, Shabib posted to Facebook a photo of Zakaria Zubeidi with text that read: “

long live our heroes. long live the resistance.

#FreeThemAll #FreePalestine.”

Zubeidi was involved in several terror attacks on Israeli civilians. On September 6, 2021, Zubeidi was one of six prisoners who escaped from Israel’s Gilboa prison. They were all recaptured by September 19, 2021.

Promoting Violence

On September 11, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “...how is Palestine supposed to get free without violent resistance?”

On September 4, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “LELELELELLELELELELEEEE” in response to an anonymous message that read: “you did you hear the intifada is going global? Natives in ‘canada’ stabbed 10 settlers d3@d

"

The term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” carries the connotation of violence. Palestinian intifadas waged against Israel have been marked since 1987 by hundreds of hijackings, shootings, stabbings, bombings and suicide missions.

On September 4, 2022, a mass stabbing occurred in Saskatchewan, Canada, in which 12 people died and 18 others were injured.

On August 5, 2021, Shabib tweeted: “a lot of ‘leftists’ are all rah rah revolution but then denounce armed resistance?????” Shabib tweeted a meme of a female driving a sports car, wearing a keffiyeh as a scarf and pointing a pistol with the caption: “I SAID FREE PALESTINE.”

On April 22, 2021, Shabib tweeted: “me hearing the news abt [about] the missile hitting isr*el.” Accompanying the tweet was a gif of a woman trilling in celebration.

Calling for Intifada (Violent Uprising)

Shabib retweeted an October 30, 2022 tweet from Yasmeen Mashayekh that read: “Some people are waiting for a formal declaration of an Intifada before taking action and really the Palestinian resistance and revolution never sleeps so if you’re waiting for the right time to act im here to tell you it’s yesterday. Get up and GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA.”

Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.

On October 23, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “intifada intifada the powers at be fear intifada.” The same day, Shabib tweeted: “my current hyper fixation is the 3rd intifada.”

On October 22, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA.”

On October 13, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “happy (potentially) third intifada everyone!!! may this one be successful in overthrowing the colonial rule of our land.” A Twitter userasked Shabib: “Do you think that Hezbollah would participate?” Shabib replied: “who knows, hopefully.”

Equating Israel with Nazi Germany

On January 12, 2023, Shabib tweeted: “theyre nazis. zionists are nazis. no one is scared of saying it u dweeb.”

On September 28, 2021, Shabib tweeted “yall i got suspended today for this tweet from like a week ago.” Shabib included a screenshot of Shabib’s September 22, 2021 tweet that read: “friendly reminder that we dont talk to n@zis…we punch them. This applies to filthy zi0nists as well because they are one and the same.”

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.

On July 20, 2018, Shabib shared on Facebook an image of an anti-Israel poster that included a fabricated quote misattributed to Albert Einstein that read: “It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews – Albert Einstein.”

Hatred of Israel

Shabib has called for the death of Israel multiple times on Twitter.

On October 22, 2022, Shabib tweeted: “every settler is guilty of colonization and ethnic cleansing and they will be dealt with accordingly.” Shabib indicated on Twitter that Shabib considers every Israeli a settler. Shabib also tweeted that Shabib considers Jews from Europe, North America and Asia as settlers.

On April 10, 2022, Shabib posted to an Instagram story, referring to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as “the IOF” and claiming that “every single settler [Israeli] is guilty of war crimes and directly contributing to apartheid.”

“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).

On October 22, 2022 Shabib appeared [slide 9] in an Instagram photo holding a megaphone at an anti-Israel rally at Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto. Protesters at the rally held a sign that read [slide 2]: “Hands off Palestine. No To Zionism!”

On March 31, 2022, Shabib shared on Instagram a flier for an anti-Israel rally organized to challenge the Jewish National Fund (JNF) of Canada’s status as a charitable organization.

The event flier referred to the JNF as “a racist organization that actively practices discrimination” and urged protesters to to “call for the JNF Canada to be investigated and have its charitable status revoked. No tax breaks for colonization!”

On December 17, 2021, Shabib posted to Instagram: “in my program we speak a lot about anti-oppression and reproductive justice yet my peers and professors praise isr@el regularly. there is no reproductive justice under apartheid. there is no anti-oppressive care under apartheid.”

Shabib’s comment accompanied a graphic with text that read: “DEAR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS: Please stop praising isr@el (an apartheid state) for its health services…”

On November 10, 2021, Shabib posted a graphic to Instagram with text that accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and settler colonialism of the Palestinian people and lands” and referred to Israel as “a foreign oppressor.”

On May 29, 2021, Shabib posted to Facebook an image of Shabib at a rally holding a Palestinian flag and wrote: “chanting #FreePalestine with my whole body.”Shabib also posted the photo to Instagram and wrote: “We. Wont. Stop. #FreePalestine is not a trend, it is a revolution.”

On May 26, 2021, Shabib posted a flyer to Facebook, promoting an anti-Israel protest “OTTAWA PROTEST for PALESTINE’ and wrote: “see you there.”

On May 20, 2021, Shabib posted a flyer to Facebook, promoting an anti-Israel protest.Shabib added the caption: “OTTAWA THIS SUNDAY AT 1PM via organizers at INSAFuOttawa [Integrity Not Spite Against Falastin - uOttawa] and SJPCarleton.”

On May 15, 2021, Shabib posted to Instagram a photo of Shabib at an anti-Israel “Nakba Day” protest . On May 11, 2021, Shabib promoted the protest on Facebook and wrote: “see you there Ottawa!!!!!”

The term “Nakba” is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term often used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by defining it as a catastrophe.

On May 13, 2021, Shabib tweeted: “im definitely praying for both sides. praying for the liberation of Palestine and praying for the fall of apartheid settler colonial isr@el

.”

On May 8, 2021, Shabib posted on Instagram: “...cops in Canada and the US are trained by the israeli occupation forces (IOF). The highly militarized tactics used by the police against protesters in NA [North America] are tried and tested on Palestinians by the IOF. Israel is an apartheid settler colonial state which follows the Canadian model.”

On March 30, 2021, Shabib tweeted: “why do ppl [people] in my program keep bringing Isr*el and not talking abt [about] their f**king apartheid and genocide???? i feel SICK.” Shabib also wrote: “YOU B**CHES MAKE ME SICK.”

On March 9, 2015, Shabib tweeted: “Israeli Apartheid week at Carleton starts tonight! I will be at every event starting tomorrow and hope to see you all there.”

Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is presented internationally as a “series of events that seeks to raise awareness of…Israel’s settler-colonial project and apartheid system over the Palestinian people.” One of its goals is to build support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. IAW has been renamed Palestine Awareness Week.

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.
