Hala Karim

On October 23, 2023, during Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, Karim shared [slide 3] on Instagram a photo of herself at a pro-terror protest holding a sign that read: "FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE."

“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” is a chant used [00:02:47] to call for the elimination of the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state. In April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the chant as antisemitic.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Many Palestinian civilians participated in and supported the attacks, and Gazans working in the targeted Israeli communities gave intelligence to Hamas on where to strike.

On October 7, 2023, the day that Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, Karim wrote on Instagram: " free palestine by any means necessary ."

“Free Palestine” is a chant that has been described as a "battle cry for the death of Jews.” In May 2025, two Israeli diplomats in Washington, D.C., were murdered by a gunman shouting “Free Palestine!” In June 2025, one pro-Israel activist was killed and over 25 were injured in Boulder, Colorado, when a man yelling “Free Palestine” firebombed them.

Anti-Israel activists use the phrase “By any means necessary” as one of multiple euphemisms for terrorist violence, of which another is “resistance.”

On May 26, 2024, Karim shared on her Instagram Stories Highlights a video of herself at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, where she chanted [00:00:07]: "Long live the Intifada! Intifada, intifada!"

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.

Also on May 26, 2024, Karim shared on her Instagram Stories Highlights a poster of terrorist Leila Khaled with text that read: "LONG LIVE THE PALESTINIAN REVOLUTION."

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 October 14, 2024, Karim wrote on Instagram: "Les amis d’abc [The ABC's Friends] would support the Palestinian resistance! If you don’t agree, you’re a dork!"

Anti-Israel activists use the term “resistance” to refer to violence and terror perpetrated against Israeli civilians and their allies. It is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence. Anti-Israel activists chant slogans such as: “Resistance by any means necessary!” and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied!” in response to terror attacks.

In the same post, Karim also wrote: "...It’s not terrorism when Arabs do it! Long live the resistance!!! ...Oh, and one more thing: happy indigenous peoples day to ALL. Imperialism will fall, and we will be free."

On March 15, 2024, Karim shared on Instagram a video of herself, in which she said [00:01:51], referring to the U.S.: "I just want to quickly remind people just how far the extent of Israel's influence on this country goes."

Karim then said [00:02:04]: "From politicians buyouts to mainstream media narratives, to organizations dedicated entirely to cancel culture..."

The assertion that Jews secretly control the Western governments through banking and finance is traced to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated anti-Semitic text that portrays wealthy Jews as conspiring to take over the world. This anti-Semitic conspiracy theory has often employed the imagery from Nazi cartoons that depict Jews as octopuses encircling the globe.

On March 25, 2024, Karim shared on Instagram a video of herself, in which she said [00:00:55] that the Israeli military forces "systematically rape, torture, beat, imprison, detain, restrict food and water and electricity access from Palestinian civilians."

Karin then referred [00:01:12] to the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) campaign called the "Deadly Exchange," claiming: "Those very same people train American police...Jewish Voice for Peace credits this police exchange, the trainings in Israel...Primarily, they are accountable for militarizing our own police back here in America."

The accusation that Israeli law enforcement teaches American police brutal tactics during police exchange programs is used to demonize Israel. Participants in these programs have stated that the training in Israel focuses on public policy, counterterrorism and leadership training in the form of lectures and discussions.

On December 11, 2023, Karim shared on Instagram a photo that read: "THE U.S. EMPIRE WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE GENOCIDE."

Karim wrote in her post: "The United States was founded on genocide. Genocide fuels the empire."

On August 6, 2024, Karim shared [slide 1] on Instagram a graphic that read, referring to Israel's war against Hamas: "The widespread lack of understanding and connection to the historical violence the U.S. government has inflicted for centuries to what we’ve been able to see with our own eyes today in Palestine is a great failure of our movement’s political education and propaganda..."

Karim's post included [slide 3] a graphic that read: "...the U.S. empire has gone to incredibly violent and evil lengths to create and maintain its fascist settler- colonial Capitalist dictatorship."

Karim wrote in her post: "So when your friendly neighborhood liberal pastor tells you to vote democrat because it’ll bring us closer to some vague feeling of normalcy, just remember that normalcy for them still includes the government they vote for and pay into destabilizing countries, murdering families, and propping up fascist right wing dictatorships all over the globe to sow chaos so they can continue to run and exploit the world without opposition. Seems bad to me, but what do I know!"
