Promoting Incitement

Salama’s tweet was responding to a tweet from the same date that read: “Al-Aqsa is closed for the first time since 1969!”

Promoting Anti-Israel Conspiracy Theories

Salama retweeted a September 29, 2020 tweet that read: “‘Today marks the 20th year since Israeli occupation forces brutally shot dead the child Mohammed Al Durra while his father did his best to protect him and shouted repeatedly: ‘The boy is killed.’”

The Al-Durah hoax is an iconic piece of anti-Israel propaganda, fabricated on September 30, 2000 at the start of the Second Intifada by a France 2 reporter.  

On September 25, 2020, Salama retweeted another tweet promoting the Al-Durah hoax.

Salama also retweeted an August 4, 2020 tweet that read: “Israel bombed Gaza and Syria yesterday and they sabotaged Iran three weeks ago. But I’m sure this Beirut explosion is just a coincidental accident.#BeirutBlast.”

On August 4, 2020, an explosion at the port in Beirut, Lebanon killed over 150 people and injured thousands. Lebanese officials explained that the cause of the explosion was ammonium nitrate stored at a warehouse.

Anti-Israel outlets were quick to spread the conspiracy theory that Israel was behind the explosion. Independent fact-checkers ascertained that Israel was not involved.

Salama retweeted an August 4, 2020 tweet that read: “the same person who said arab women are too ugly and hairy to be raped by idf [Israel Defense Force] soldiers..which they do..f**k you and your disgusting government and your fake a** solidarity and everything you stand for, you worthless b**ch.”

The tweet Salama retweeted was responding to another tweet by an Israeli user that read: “I can’t believe people blame Israel for this. The entire country is literally shocked and shares in the grief of the Lebanese people because of this terrible tragedy. Ugh some people are just morons.”

On January 11, 2017, Salama tweeted: “Zionists run the world so it's not even surprising.”

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an anti-Semitic fabricated text that depicts wealthy Jews conspiring to take over the world. 

Spreading Hatred of Israel

Salama retweeted an October 20, 2020 tweet that read: “Stop referring to the Palestinian oppression as an isr*eli Palestinian conflict! it is NOT a conflict, it IS oppression, Palestinians are being OPPRESSED.”

On October 12, 2020, Salama tweeted: “...the israeli identity is a false one that’s built on genocide and erasure so if you identify with it then yes I do hate you and idc how you feel about it.”

Salama retweeted an August 29, 2020 tweet published during the coronavirus pandemic that read: “My heart breaks for Gaza everyday. Israel is weaponizing COVID. Again and again we get proof that this seige is an ethnic cleansing.”

On August 13, 2020, the United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to a joint statement referred to as the “Abraham Accords” in which the UAE consented to formally normalize its relationship with Israel. 

Salama retweeted an August 5, 2020 tweet, that read: “all i want is to witness the fall of isr*el in my lifetime, thats all i want.”

Earlier that day, Israel had reportedly reacted to rockets fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza, by striking against “approximately 100 military sites belonging to Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip, including an underground rocket manufacturing facility.” 

On August 6, 2018, Salama tweeted a drawing of herself kicking “israelis” down a flight of stairs:
