Support for Terrorists

In October 2020, Ahmad signed a petition calling for the release of Maher al-Akhras, a reported operative for Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), from administrative detention. Ahmad also promoted the petition on Facebook on November 6, 2020.
 

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is a terror group “whose objective is the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of a sovereign, Islamic Palestinian state.” PIJ is backed by Iran and has killed dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks.

Ahmad shared several posts on Facebook expressing support for al-Akhras in September and October 2020.

Ahmad retweeted a June 23, 2020 tweet, that read: “Israeli soldiers shot to kill my baby cousin, Ahmed, left him to bleed out for 1.5 hours. He was 27, he deserved to live. Israeli cowards claim it was a car ramming incident…”

Ahmad Erekat [Ahmad Moustafa Erekat; Ahmed Erakat] was killed by Israeli security forces after he accelerated and rammed his car into soldiers at a checkpoint. One female soldier was injured. The incident was captured on video.  

Ahmad retweeted another June 23, 2020 tweet that read: “Ahmed Erekat, 27, beautiful young man. A son. A brother. Fiancée. My baby cousin. Israeli cowards shot him multiple times, left him to bleed for 1.5 hours and blamed him for his death. Tonight was his sister’s wedding, his was next month. We failed to protect him. I am so sorry.” 

Ahmad retweeted a September 22, 2019 tweet by Al Jazeera+ (AJ+), that read: “A Palestinian woman was shot and killed by Israeli forces at a checkpoint.”

The tweet featured a video produced by AJ+ of a Palestinian woman who was shot at the Qalandiya checkpoint after she tried to stab an Israeli police officer.

AJ+ is a Qatari-funded propaganda media channel known for spreading misinformation and lies about Israel.  

Ahmad retweeted a November 5, 2018 tweet, that read: “Remember him?he was shot today, because the Israeli military cannot stand that he had become an icon.”

The tweet featured a photo of violent Palestinian protester Aed Abu Amro holding a Palestinian flag while swinging a slingshot during riots then taking place on Israel’s border with Gaza.

Abu Amro [Muhammad Na’im Muhammad Abu Amro] was famously photographed participating in violent protests organized and funded by Hamas along Israel’s border with Gaza. Abu Amro was later wounded while participating in the protests.  

Ahmad retweeted a May 10, 2017 tweet, that read: “Fatima Hjeiji,16yr-old,20 bullets in body,Executed by IOF.She was the 7th Palestinian Child Murdered by Israel since the beginning of the yr.”

In May 2017, Hjeiji was shot after she pulled out a knife and ran toward a group of Israeli police officers while shouting “Allahu Akhbar.” Police reportedly “found that the teen was carrying a note in which she said goodbye to her family and referred to herself as a martyr.”  

Ahmad retweeted a February 19, 2016 tweet, that read: “Dima is the youngest female prisoner in Israeli jails ! #Palestine #ICC4Israel.” The tweet referred to Dima Al-Wawi.

12-year-old Al-Wawi was imprisoned for attempting to stab a security guard at the Israeli community Karmei Tzur. Al-Wawi later claimed she intended to kill the guard and hoped she would be killed in the process. “I was dreaming that I was going to be martyred,” she said.  

 
Ahmad retweeted an October 25, 2015 tweet, that read: “Left to bleed to death no medical treatment Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian girl & left her on the ground to die.”

The tweet was part of a thread of tweets, referring to Dania Irsheid and claiming she was “an innocent girl,” and killed … for no reason.”.

Dania Irsheid was shot by an Israeli police officer after she attempted to stab him.

Ahmad retweeted an October 4, 2015 tweet, that read: “Palestinian Fadi Aloon was murdered by the #IOF this morning at #AlQuds, Palestine.”

Fadi Aloon was shot by Israeli security forces after he stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli boy. Several hours before the attack, Aloon posted “Either martyrdom or victory” on his Facebook page.

The police later found pipe bombs the rioters had prepared to launch at Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount plaza.

Spreading Hatred of Israel

Ahmad retweeted a November 21, 2019 tweet, that read: “Corbyn isn’t anti Jew he’s anti Israel which is completely fair enough considering Israel is committing genocide on Palestinians and completely denying their existence??” 

The tweet referred to Jeremy Corbyn, a British politician and Leader of the Labour Party, who repeatedly referenced terror organizations Hamas and Hezbollah as “friends” and shared platforms with extremists and anti-Semites. 
 
Corbyn has also compared Israel’s government to ISIS.

Ahmad retweeted a July 24, 2018 tweet, that read: “300 Jews from France arrived in an Israeli airport in the occupied Palestine to live as illegal settlers in illegal settlements.No wonder why Israel keeps demolishing Palestinian villages.” The tweet featured photos of French Jews immigrating to Israel, walking off of a plane.

In 2018, more than 2,700 Jews reportedly emigrated from France to Israel, with many leaving France in response to increasing anti-Semitism. 

Ahmad retweeted a June 2, 2017 tweet, that read: “im so disappointed because i really wanted to watch wonderwoman but i refuse to support an openly IDF-supporting zionist.”

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.
