Idolizing Terrorists

On October 31, 2017, Hassan posted a photo on Instagram where she dressed up as airline hijacker Leila Khaled. She posted a quote attributed to Khaled, stating that “a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter …

On September 11, 2017 Hassan shared an Instagram video of someone wearing a jacket bearing the likeness of Khaled. On August 29, 2017, Hassan posted a close-up of the jacket on Instagram and said that she painted the image herself.

On December 6, 2016, Hassan tweeted a photo of Leila Khaled holding a gun, writing: “my mom in color.”

Khaled is a leader 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 for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.


The PFLP claimed credit for the 2014 Har Nof Massacre where six people were murdered during morning prayers in a Jerusalem synagogue. The PFLP also claimed credit for the 2001 assassination of the Israeli tourism minister. 


On August 18, 2017, Hassan posted a photo on Instagram of herself with terrorist Rasmea Odeh, stating: “a blessing to meet Rasmea Odeh tbh nothing but respect for MY president ✊️🇵🇸❤.”

On November 26, 2016, Hassan tweeted: “Make it out if you can. Info on the hearing/Rally + the background of Rasmea’s story and trial here #justice4Rasmea…”

Odeh was a key military operative [00:02:08]with the terrorist group the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In 1969, Odeh masterminded a PFLP bombing that killed two college students in a Jerusalem supermarket. Odeh also attempted to bomb the British consulate. 

Odeh confessed, in a highly detailed account, the day following her arrest. In a 2004 documentary, one of Odeh’s co-conspirators directly implicated [00:10:53] Odeh as the mastermind. 

In 1970, an Israeli court tried and convicted Odeh for her involvement in both bombings and sentenced her to life imprisonment. However, Odeh was released 10 years later, in a prisoner swap and emigrated to the United States.


On November 10, 2014, a Michigan federal jury convicted Odeh for immigration fraud because she failed to disclose her prior conviction and life sentence on her immigration application. On March 12, 2015, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison. 


In 2017, after an appeal and a lengthy court battle, Odeh admitted to immigration fraud, was stripped of her U.S. citizenship, deported to Jordan and banned from re-entering the U.S.


On May 19, 2015, Hassan tweeted a photo of Palestinian terrorist Shadia Abu Ghazaleh, a female bomb-maker for the PFLP.  

Hassan commented: “First Palestinian female martyr, Allah yerhama [Allah will have mercy on her].” Hassan continued: “It shocks me how the first results when you google her name are Israeli sites and videos on how shes a terrorist worshipped by Palestinians.”

Supporting the Knife Intifada

On October 17, 2015, Hassan tweeted: “Protest in Dearborn tomorrow to support the Palestinian uprising.” Hassan continued: “honestly if there’s gonna be a Third Intifada, i’m here for it but I’m here for it being smart.”

In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians.


On October 5, 2015, Hassan tweeted: “A 19 year old Palestinian boy named Fadi Samir Mustafa Alloun was shot and killed today by IDF Allah yer7amo.”

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.

On January 20, 2017, Hassan tweeted a photo of U.S. President Donald Trump next to a photo of Benjamin Netanyahu with a caption under Donald Trump that read: “Trump ‘normalizes’ white supremacy and fascist ideas.” The caption under Netanyahu read: “Same here.|”

Demonizing the U.S.-Israel Relationship

On February 16, 2017, Hassan tweeted: “Good morning the United States doesn’t have Jews interests at heart and their support for Israel is selfish and stems from white supremacy.”

On March 26, 2017, Hassan tweeted: “Shoutout to everyone protesting AIPAC today. Absolutely amazing to see these communities come together to fight for Palestinian liberation.”

On March 26, 2017 a protest was held in Washington D.C. against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) organized by Al-Awda — The Palestine Right to Return Coalition.

The rally demonized AIPAC and featured a lineup of speakers who have spread hatred of Jews — like, Al-Awda’s anti-Semitic co-founder Abbas Hamideh and Ryan Dawson, who has denied the existence of Nazi gas chambers.

On March 21, 2016, Hassan tweeted: “‘U.S. and Israel share a culture’ ugh yes genocide.”

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.



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.
