Lynn Al Nasser

Also in December 2016, Al Nasser’s LinkedIn said she was the president of the Middle Eastern Students Association (MESA) at the Saint George campus of U of T from April 2015 until June 2016. 

In 2016, Al Nasser was a listed on Facebook as a member of the public group for the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at U of T in 2016.  

Spreading Anti-Semitism

On July 21, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted a cartoon that portrayed a person wearing a bib with a Jewish Star of David. The person was eating a Palestinian child with a fork that had an American flag on it and a knife that said “Arab Silence” on it. Next to the dead child was a glass of blood. The cartoon’s caption said: “ISRAEL is a War Criminal.”


Al Nasser posted her tweet during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE) against Hamas. She wrote: “#Palestine #GazaUnderAttack #silencisbetrayal.”  

Israel commenced OPE in July 2014 to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.

Al Nasser retweeted a July 5, 2014 tweet during OPE that accused Jews of a “Kristallnacht” and “pogroms” against Palestinians. 

Kristallnacht, or “the Night of Broken Glass,” was a two-day violent pogrom that took place November 9-10, 1938, against the Jewish populations of Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. Jewish stores, synagogues and houses were destroyed and burned, and tens of thousands of Jews were arrested by the Gestapo and the SS, and put into prisons and concentration camps.

Hatred of Zionists

On July 25, 2014, during OPE, Al Nasser tweeted an image of a poem that included the line: “I wish my tears came raining down like rockets to wipe all the Zionists out.” 

In the tweet, Al Nasser wrote: “افديك بروحيودمي يا فلسطين [Afdik be-ruhi wa-dami ya Falasteen; O Palestine, I will redeem you with my soul and blood].” 

Al Nasser’s statement was a variation of an anti-Israel chant popularized [00:00:23] byformer Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat. 

Promoting Hatred of Israel

On July 3, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted: “@LatuffCartoons I would definitely like to see more of ur drawings on what's been recently happening in Gaza..love your work!” 

Al Nasser’s tweet was in response to a tweet from cartoonist Carlos Latuff during OPE. The Latuff tweet showed a cartoon displaying then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu firing a machine gun at Gaza.

Carlos Latuff is a Brazilian political cartoonist who has equated Israel and America with Nazi Germany and promoted violence. In 2006, he won second prize at Iran’s “International Holocaust Cartoon Competition” for a cartoon that compared Israel’s security barrier to Nazi concentration camps.  

On July 20, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted an image that called Israel “THE GREATEST TYRANT OF ALL TIMES!”

Al Nasser retweeted a July 20, 2014 tweet that said: “Israel Drops Cancer-inducing Bombs on Gazans.” The tweet linked to an article with the same headline.

On July 21, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted: “@UNRWA @UN when do you plan to take action? after they murder every palestinian?? #GazaUnderAttack.” She included a cartoon showing the UN cleaning up the bloody footprints of an Israeli soldier.

Also on July 21, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted a YouTube video that claimed [00:03:11] “Israel is a terror state” and accused [00:03:18] Israel of committing a “systematic genocide.” The video showed men wearing [00:02:37] Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas headbands [00:03:42]. 

Al Nasser retweeted a July 23, 2014 tweet by Latuff that included one of his cartoons showing an Israeli jet firing a missile at a Gazan child clutching a teddy bear.

Al Nasser retweeted a July 25, 2014 tweet by Latuff that included one of his cartoons showing a Molotov cocktail on fire. The tweet said: “Please, retweet! Third Intifada in progress? Cartoon @MiddleEastMnt #GazaUnderAttack.”

Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.  

On August 1, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted a cartoon suggesting that Israel and Western countries “DIVIDE” Arab and Muslim countries, who must then “UNITE” to survive.

Al Nasser retweeted an August 25, 2014 tweet by Latuff that included one of his cartoons showing Netanyahu holding a bloody butcher knife while having an ice bucket poured over his head. In the cartoon, Netanyahu thought to himself: “COLD-BLOODED MURDERERS LIKE ME DO NOT FEAR ICE BUCKETS.”

On September 24, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted that Israel was committing “one of the longest running genocides of modern times.”

Al Nasser retweeted a December 30, 2014 Latuff tweet that included one of his cartoons showing an Israeli soldier having his rifle backfire on him after an elderly Palestinian woman put her finger in the gun’s barrel. The tweet said: “I can't make any prediction for 2015...EXCEPT that struggle in #Palestine will continue!”

Supporting BDS

On August 1, 2014, Al Nasser tweeted in support of a pro-BDS Latuff tweet. 

On July 30, 2014, Latuff tweeted a pro-BDS cartoon he created and wrote in the tweet: “Please RT! Stop #Gaza massacre, BOYCOTT @Israel NOW! … #GazaUnderAttack #BDS.” 

Someone that same day responded to Latuff: “Please…What do you mean ‘bds’?” The following day, Al Nasser responded: “...boycott divestment sanctions.”

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.

MSA

The MSA was  established by members of the Muslim Brotherhood in January 1963 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with the goal of "spreading Islam as students in North America." A 2004 FBI investigation uncovered an internal Muslim Brotherhood document in which a brotherhood leader identified the MSA as "one of our organizations." 

The MSA reportedly has “nearly 600 chapters” located in the United States and Canada, and is “the most visible and influential Islamic student organization in North America,” boasting conferences, special events, publications, websites and other activities.

The organization includes a number of previous chapter presidents with explicit links to terrorist groups. Included are al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki (Colorado State University), Somali al-Shabaab militant leader Omar Shafik Hammami (University of South Alabama) and Pakistani Taliban recruiter Ramy Zamzam of the MSA's Washington, D.C. council.
