On April 9, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok: “Zionist mom spreading loes [sic] on my 8 yr old son who stand with Palestine. Insee you Zio & and you wont get away with the lies. Free Palestine.”
The term "Zio" is a common derogatory reference to Zionists, as well as an often-used anti-Semitic slur among white supremacists.
The post included a video she recorded, which was captioned: “Do not attack kids who stand with Palestine” and marked with Palestinian flags, the words “FREE PALESTINE” and a raised fist in the colors of the Palestinian flag.
In the video Berrospi said [00:00:01]: “...at the beginning of the war, the genocide, there was an incident at my son’s school–he’s in third grade; he’s eight…apparently, the kids started talking at lunch, and they asked my son, ‘Whose side are you on?’ and he was like, “Palestine…’”
Referring to an online parents’ discussion about the incident, Berrospi said [00:04:01]: “I want nothing to do with those nasty f**king Zionist b**ches!” Berrospi said [00:07:51]: “...I’m gonna confront that mother at the f*cking PTA meeting, wherever the f*ck she’s at, wherever I find her. I’m confronting her and I’m not letting her f*cking get away with talking sh*t, lies…”
Berrospi continued [00:08:22]: “…you’re gonna attack my son…because he doesn’t believe your genocidal bullsh*t; because he’s a brown boy?...”
Berrospi said[00:08:38]: “...You messed with the wrong f*cking people, lady. You messed with the wrong people, you Zionists pieces of s**t!”
Berrospi concluded [00:08:56]: “...one more thing…you are no longer going to be freely able to throw around the victim, anti-Semitism card anymore…it doesn’t work. We know you…we know that it’s you. It’s not everybody else; it’s not the rest of the world. It’s you f**ckers. You Zionists people. You are the f**king racists! You are the bigots! You are anti-everything, ok?...Free Palestine!”

Berrospi’s post included a video in which Israel’s army spokesperson announced the death of 21 Israeli soldiers.
On November 2, 2023, several weeks after Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel, Berrospi posted on TikTok: “Zionist believe non Jews are beasts, are their slaves, & csn take anything. Oh & pedohillia is ok. Explains the evils we are seeing now in Israel. God told them it was ok
. Explains what we are seeing now in Israel…” The music video in the post contained text allegedly from Jewish texts.
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, approximately 2,900 heavily armed Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza. They executed numerous war crimes on civilians, including mass murder, beheadings of children, rape of men and women, torture, kidnappings and mutilation.
Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ accounts for families to see. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.” As of November 10, 2023, approximately 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, were murdered during the attacks. Hamas kidnapped 242 Israelis, including at least 30 children. At least 3,500 people were wounded, many severely.
A terrorist detained by Israel admitted he raped an Israeli woman when he broke into a kibbutz house during the October 7, 2023 attack. In March 2024, a former hostage of Hamas publicly stated she was sexually abused and tortured while in captivity.

On March 10, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok a video in which she said [00:00:01]: “I wanna show you guys something disgusting. Oh, I almost crashed when I was driving.” Berrospi then zoomed in on her video camera to an Israeli flag waving next to an American flag in a public space.
Berrospi then said [00:00:13]: “I almost crashed. I was so horrified and disgusted by the sight of what I saw. This’s f**king horrendous. F**king Long Island never fails to f**king disappoint. Gross. Ah! Free Palestine, f**kers!”
On April 28, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok: “Support peace and justice for all not just your own kind. Free Palestine. PS” The post included a photo of Berrospi with her children, captioned: “Don't be confused I'm Free Palestine all day…People deserve to be free of violence especially in their own land. You can never own something stolen. A thief is always a thief. / Free PALESTINA
…”
On May 6, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok: “Shut it down” in response to an image of a poster that promoted a “Stand With ISRAEL RALLY.” Berrospi captioned the poster: “IDF [Israel Defense Forces] soldier to attend this I stand with Israel bulls**t. / Shut it down, disgusting.”
On June 27, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok an image that read: “I HATE ZIONISM.”
On June 29, 2024, Berrospi posted on TikTok a video in which she chanted: “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 December 12, 2023, Berrospi posted on TikTok a video of an anti-Israel protest in Queens, New York, in which activists chanted [00:00:52] calling for Israel’s destruction.
The protest was led by anti-Israel agitator Nerdeen Kiswani, who leads the organization Within Our Lifetime (WOL).
Within Our Lifetime (WOL) is an anti-Israel activist group in New York City founded by Nerdeen Kiswani. In her WOL activism, Kiswani has called for the death of Zionists and for the destruction of Israel, spread incitement to violence and celebrated terrorists. WOL’s “Points of Unity” states: “We defend the right of Palestinians as colonized people to resist the zionist occupation by any means necessary.”
On December 11, 2023, Berrospi shared on TikTok a poster of a December 16, 2023, anti-Israel protest titled: “FLOOD QUEENS FOR GAZA.” WOL and Samidoun were among the organizers of the event.
In October 2024, the US and Canadian governments declared that the Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network (Samidoun) was a “sham charity” that served as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group. In February 2021, Israel’s Ministry of Justice declared Samidoun to be a terror organization, accusing [p. 2] the NGO of operating “as an arm” of the PFLP.
In October 2023, Germany said it would disband Samidoun's German wing, with Reuters reporting that Germany's Interior Minister "said the international network works under the guise of a solidarity group for prisoners to spread anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda.”
