Calling for "Armed Struggle"
On May 15, 2022, Abu Hayyeh wrote on Instagram: “For 7 decades, Jewish Zionists have oppressed our land and displaced us…There can be no liberated Palestine so long as Isr*el exists. To that end, when we demand a Free Palestine, it means that we want our land back in its entirety. We want the Isr*eli state annihilated. We want its people gone. We want their identity dead. By any means necessary…”Abu Hayyeh’s post continued: “The only way Palestine will be liberated is by the annihilation of Isr*el. The only way to do so is through armed struggle. Only by our people arming themselves, and pushing the colonizers back to the US, to Europe, to wherever they came from, will we be liberated. As Ghassan Kanafani said, this is the kind of conversation between the sword and the neck. And our struggle will continue, until our enemies are dead and our homeland is returned to us.”
Kanafani was a leading member and spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) during the terrorist organization’s early years. Kanafani announced the PFLP’s responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre of May 1972 and was linked to the airport attackers. The attack killed 26 people and wounded 80 others.
Abu Hayyeh also wrote: “Long live the resistance! / Glory to our martyrs! /Death to the Occupiers! / Death to their allies! /Free Palestine
.” His post featured photos and video footage from a protest, held on the same day, in Chicago.Supporting Terrorism (Hamas, PFLP, Munich Massacre)
As of April 3, 2023, Abu Hayyeh’s Instagram bio said: “The only ‘2 sides’ argument I wanna hear is why I shouldn't use both sides of my hand to smack an Isr*eli up…ضرب اضرب تل ابيب [Strike Strike Tel Aviv]...”Udrub Udrub Tel Abib [ضرب اضرب تل ابيب, Strike Strike Tel Aviv] is an Arabic song calling for [00:00:14] missiles to rain down on Tel Aviv. The 2012 song is pro-Hamas [00:02:18] and anti-Semitic [00:01:16]. The chorus says [00:00:32]: “Strike a blow at Tel Aviv! Strike a blow at Tel Aviv!... We don’t want no truce or solution, all we want is to strike Tel Aviv!”
As of April 2, 2023, Abu Hayyeh’s Twitter bio said: “The only conversation I will have with an Isr*eli is between the sword and the neck…anti-Zionist, anti-Israel…”
Abu Hayyeh’s Twitter bio paraphrased [00:00:27] a quote from a 1970 interview of Ghassan Kanafani while he was the PFLP spokesman.
On April 23, 2022, Abu Hayyeh posted on Instagram: “There can be no true justice in the world until Palestine is returned to us. And our people, wherever they are in the world, continue to resist, whether by taking to the streets in cities globally, or through armed resistance against Isr*el.”
Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” can be a euphemism for nationalistic terror. It is often used to excuse or even glorify anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
In the same post, Abu Hayyeh continued: “And understand that we do not desire some half-a**es two state solution bulls**t. We demand the total and complete liberation of Palestine and the annihilation of the Isr*eli state and people. Plain and simple.”
Abu Hayyeh also wrote: “For Palestine…we will push forward. Liberation by any and all means, whether by our words and the pen, or by stones, molotovs, and the sword. Long live Palestine. Glory to our resistance… Free Palestine.”
Abu Hayyeh’s post featured a series of photos and videos from an anti-Israel protest, held the same day, in Chicago.
On May 14, 2021, Abu Hayyeh posted [slide 5] a photo of Gazan rockets being fired at Israel to his Instagram highlight titled: “Al-Nakba, 2021.” Abu Hayyeh wrote: “There is no clear path to fighting apartheid. Any tactic is necessary and justified. Whether its protests, attacking or killing Israeli settlers like the Munich bombings that left 11 Israelis dead, or the airstrikes being launched from Gaza.”
During the Munich Massacre, which took place during the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany, Palestinian terrorists mutilated, tortured and murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team after holding them hostage for 19 hours.
Abu Hayyeh wrote the post during Israel’s Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW) against Hamas.
In May 2021, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists fired over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at major population centers in Israel. Israel responded by launching OGW, carrying out targeted military strikes in Gaza.
Calling for Death to All Israelis
On May 15, 2022, Abu Hayyeh posted on Instagram a video from the an anti-Israel rally in Chicago, with the caption: “...Free Palestine, death to Isr*el, its citizens, and its allies…”On October 15, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted a meme of someone pointing to a map of Israel and saying: “If we kill all our enemies… over there… / …will we finally… be free?”
Abu Hayyeh wrote: “The only solution to Free Palestine
.”Anti-Semitism
On June 24, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “Just a reminder that the Palestinians have ALWAYS been there and the idea of Jews coming to reclaim their land is bulls**t because a bunch of white people from Europe have no ties to the land and have no right to be there so get the f**k off my land b**ch.”One way that anti-Israel activists spread anti-Semitism is to claim [00:06:46] that Israeli Jews, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, do not descend from the ancient Israelites. This claim alleges that Israeli Jews are white Europeans who lack a connection to the Land of Israel.
On May 14, 2021, Abu Hayyeh posted [slide 35] on his Instagram highlight titled: “Al-Nakba, 2021” and wrote: “While the Holocaust was tragic, what’s an even greater atrocity is the fact that those who survived, and their descendants, have inherited the will of Adolf Hitler.”
Hatred of Zionists and Israelis
On May 2, 2022, Abu Hayyeh posted on Instagram: “May you and your families be blessed this year and the next Insha'Allah (Unless you're a Z*on*st then الله يلعنكم [Allah will curse you]).”On May 14, 2021, Abu Hayyeh posted [slide 16] on his Instagram highlight titled: “Al-Nakba, 2021” and wrote: “...they have gone so far as to weaponize the Holocaust, and use the Holocaust as something to make the world pity them, and anyone who stands against Israeli sovreignty [sic] is automatically equated to the Nazis.”
On September 23, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “I once had a bunch of girls working with HILLEL on ASU's campus advertising for one of those same trips call me a terrorist because I went up to them, made them think I was interested, and said ‘yea its especially beautiful when Israel isn't killing innocent Palestinians.’”
Hillel International is a Jewish campus organization serving college students at 850 universities worldwide.
On September 13, 2020, as the COVID -19 pandemic surged in Israel, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “I love to see it f**k the colonizers
Israel imposes second nationwide COVID-19 lockdown as cases surge.”On August 19, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “I have nothing but pure hatred for Israel, and an even greater hatred for Zionists and Zionist sympathizers. Anyone who believes in and supports occupation, apartheid, imperialism, and/or colonialism, has no humanity in them.”
On July 6, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “I remember one time at the gym I signed up this dude and his mom from Israel and when I had my back turned they were talkin s**t about me cuz I was wearing a necklace of Palestine and had Palestine stickers on my water bottle so I f**ked up their billing for 3 months
.”Abu Hayyeh added: “Also thought they were getting the special for that month but nah they got charged normal cuz f**k you Zionist b**ches.”
On June 26, 2020, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “Take the ‘talk s**t get hit’ approach to dealing with Zionists. Except they don't really need to talk to get hit cuz, well, they're existence says it all.”
High School Praise for Hitler
On April 25, 2015, Abu Hayyeh tweeted a portrait photo of Hitler and wrote: “Happy Birthday to my main nigga.”On March 19, 2015, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “My friends keep tellin me Im gonna b the next Hitler. I take that as a compliment...”
On July 24, 2014, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “All of the Palestinians are wondering why hitler didnt finish the job. Still my hero though.”
High School Anti-Semitism
On September 11, 2014, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “...Allah curse all Jews on this planet who believe in zionism. Allah curse @netanyahu the biggest pig on this planet.”Abu Hayyeh’s tweet was in response to a September 11, 2014 tweet that read: “This is what Israeli Zionists do to Muslims holy mosque by bombing inside masjed AlAqsa... #Palestine #Free…”
In the fall of 2014, Palestinian leaders and media incited a wave of violence against Israelis with the lie that Israel intended to desecrate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. This resulted in the November 18, 2014 Har Nof massacre, in which terrorists murdered six people in a Jerusalem synagogue during morning prayers.
On October 23, 2015, Abu Hayyeh tweeted: “AP [Advanced Placement] Euro has me takin notes about the Jews in the ghettos. Like naw why tf [the f**k] should I care? Those same Jews are torturin my people today.”
SJP UM Dearborn - Solidarity with a Terrorist
SJP UM-Dearborn has, since 2014, shown support for Rasmea Odeh, who faced deportation from the U.S. after reportedly lying on her naturalization papers about her terrorist activity.In June 2016, SJP UM-Dearborn activists participated in a rally for Odeh, demanding the immigration fraud charges against her be dropped.
Odeh was a key military operative 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.
SJP UM Dearborn - Defending Pro-BDS Professors
In November 2018, SJP UM-Dearborn activist Susan Yaseen drafted a student government resolution, endorsed by SJP UM-Dearborn that “defended the actions” of John Cheney-Lippold, who sparked major controversy in September 2018, when he reneged on his offerto write a recommendation letter for a student to study abroad in Israel.The resolution also reportedly defended Lucy Evelyn Peterson, a graduate student instructor at the University of Michigan (UMICH) who, in 2018, reportedly reneged on her commitment to write a recommendation letter for a student because he was applying to study in Israel. Peterson reportedly cited that she pledged herself “to a boycott of Israeli institutions as a way of showing solidarity with Palestine.”
In an October 3, 2018 letter, UMICH disciplined Cheney-Lippold by issuing a number of sanctions, including ineligibility “for a salary increase for the 2018-2019 academic year.” Further, Cheney-Lippold’s sabbatical eligibility and credits were frozen for two years “until the Fall 2020 semester.”
On November 9, 2018, Susan Yaseen, in her capacity as the “Divestment Investigations Chair” of the UMDSG, reportedly drafted a student government resolution that “defended the actions” of Cheney-Lippold and Lucy Evelyn Peterson.
Yaseen’ resolution reportedly called “for a reversal of the disciplinary actions taken against the two instructors.” Yaseen reportedly said that “this resolution serves as a first step in the fight to ensure equal rights for Palestinian students.” The resolution passed the next day.
The University of Michigan’s Public Affairs Department reportedly responded to the controversy, saying that “Injecting personal politics into a decision regarding support for our students is counter to our values and expectations as an institution.”
The resolution reportedly called for “a reversal of the disciplinary actions taken against the two instructors.”
SJP UM Dearborn - Celebrating “International Quds Day”
On July 2, 2016, SJP UM-Dearborn shared a photo of SJP activists and wrote: “How did you spend international Quds Day? #FreePalestine”SJP UM-Dearborn activist Susan Yaseen held a sign that read: “ISRAELI APARTHEID. Made in the U.S.A. BLOCK AID TO ISRAEL NOW.”
SJP UM Dearborn - Demonizing Israel
On April 13, 2017, the UM-Dearborn student newspaper reported that SJP UM-Dearborn put fake parking tickets on students’ car windshields parked on campus in March. The tickest “were meant to serve as flyers for two events” organized by SJP UM-Dearborn.SJP UM-Dearborn president, Susan Yaseen, said: “The purpose of this was to create an empathic connection between the student body and the Palestinian victims, sharing with them the reality of what the Palestinians go through on a daily basis. Palestinians do not receive any form of notices when they are forced to evacuate or have their houses demolished.”
Yaseen continued. “The tickets were designed to share that fear with the student body and spread awareness of the injustice occurring in Palestine.”
The fake ticket read: “Parking Violation... We regret to inform you that your vehicle will be towed in the next 24 Hours. We receive the right to demolish the vehicle under Code 269.2.C. We hereby release any liability for damage to any persons or effects including gross negligence. You will receive the charges of demolition and waste removal…”
The flyer concluded: “Palestinian homes are often destroyed so that new settlements can be built, and so that the state of Israel can expand past its borders by appropriating Palestinian land.”
On October 31, 2016, SJP UM-Dearborn held a “Zionism is Scary” bake sale on campus.
On October 6, 2016, SJP UM-Dearborn shared photos on Facebook of activists setting up a mock Israeli checkpoint. SJP activists put up a mock apartheid wall, simulating Israel’s security barrier, and dressed as Israeli soldiers.
Israel’s security barrier, 97 percent of which is a low chain-link barrier, was built as a deterrent to Palestinian terror attacks. The concrete portions of the fence were built in response to Palestinian sniper attacks.
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.
CAIR
CAIR describes itself as a “grassroots civil rights and advocacy group” and “America's largest Muslim civil liberties organization, with regional offices nationwide.” Its official mission is “enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.”
CAIR reportedly has “significant ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Hamas. A number of former CAIR employees have been convicted on fraud and terrorism-related charges that resulted monetary fines, jail terms and, sometimes, deportation.
CAIR was founded in 1994 and opened its first office in Washington, DC, with the help of a $5,000 donation from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a charity founded by Mousa Abu Marzook.
Marzook, who was listed as a "Specially Designated Terrorist" by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1995, is reportedly a senior member of Hamas.
In May 2007, CAIR was listed as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a U.S.-filed action against the HLF for providing funds to Hamas.
CAIR was also listed as a terrorist entity by the United Arab Emirates, in 2014.
AMP
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) was founded by UC Berkeley Professor Hatem Bazian as a vehicle to generate mainstream support in the United States for the Palestinian national cause.
On its website, the organization lists Bazian as the chairman of its national board and describes itself as “a national education and grassroots-based organization, dedicated to educating the American public about Palestine and its rich cultural, historical and religious heritage.”
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has accused AMP of promoting “extreme anti-Israel views and has at times provided a platform for anti-Semitism under the guise of educating Americans” about Palestinians. The ADL further stated that AMP is directly involved in campus-based anti-Israel activity through Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
Prior to founding the AMP in 2006, Dr. Bazian created SJP together with fellow UC Berkeley Professor Snehal Shingavi in 2001. The close working relationship between AMP and SJP has been documented several times over the years by several organizations, including NGO Monitor and StandWithUs.
In addition to providing financial, public relations and legal assistance to SJP, AMP has also been accused of having connections to Hamas. The AMP national board includes former members of both the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP) and Holy Land Foundation (HLF), both of which were found liable for aiding and abetting Hamas. The IAP was founded by Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, a senior member of Hamas.
