Dismissing Anti-Semitism
On May 26, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “In regards to [Cornell President] Martha [Pollack]’s ignorant email, I’m currently writing a response on why’s she’s dumb.”Abuhashim’s tweet was in reference to Cornell’s President Martha Pollack’s May 26, 2021 public letter, which took notice of the “alarming national rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes...amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East,” and appealed for “rigorous discourse and debate, devoid of personal invective and attacks.”
Later that day, Abuhashim tweeted: “...There is no ‘debate’ on settler colonialism when Cornell is complicit.” Abuhashim’s tweet included President Pollack’s letter.
On May 28, 2021, Abuhashim shared [slide 13] Cornell SJP’s post to her “PS” Instagram story highlight. The post expressed [Slide 1] opposition to President Pollack’s letter.
Cornell SJP condemned [Slide 4] the term “ongoing tensions” and blamed Israel exclusively for Palestinian-Israeli tensions, accusing Israel of “apartheid” and “provocations against Palestine, from the occupation of Sheikh Jarrah to the assault on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the bombings of the Gaza strip.”
Cornell SJP also rejected [Slide 7] President Pollack’s call for “rigorous discourse and debate,” promoting, instead, “the duty to resist colonial violence.”
Cornell SJP called on their Instagram followers to “send an email to [the Cornell] administration in regards to their complete dismissal of the ethnic cleansing and apartheid of Palestinians.”

Spreading Incitement
On May 2, 2021, Abuhashim shared [slide 25] a post to her “!!” Instagram story highlight that said: “Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem is to be forcefully evicted by ‘Israel’, displacing 500 Palestinians in favour of Israeli settlers.”
On May 8, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “LAST NIGHT Israeli occupation forces raided Al-aqsa mosque, 3rd holiest Islamic site, while Palestinians were gathering to worship. Bullets and stun grenades were fired at them WHILE THEY WERE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF PRAYER.”
In May 2021, calls to “save” Sheikh Jarrah, a Jerusalem neighborhood at the center of a property dispute, led to violence against Israelis and were one of the leading factors in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists firing over 4,300 rockets from Gaza into Israel that month.
On May 8, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “LAST NIGHT Israeli occupation forces raided Al-aqsa mosque, 3rd holiest Islamic site, while Palestinians were gathering to worship. Bullets and stun grenades were fired at them WHILE THEY WERE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF PRAYER.”
On May 7-10, 2021, violent clashes broke out between Palestinian worshippers and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa compound, following claims that Al-Aqsa Mosque was in danger. The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy Al-Aqsa has been a traditional pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state.
On May 11, 2021, Abuhashim posted [slide 3] to her “PS” Instagram story highlight that said: “Palestinians in Jerusalem are protesting colonization in the neighborhood of sheikh jarrah.” She added to her post: “Isr*eli forces raid al Aqsa mosque while Muslims are MIDPRAYER to subdue Palestinians to stop protesting.”
She also added in the same post: “Palestinians from across the country are now coming to Jerusalem to join in the protests and protect Al Aqsa mosque.”
Supporting Terrorists
On September 6, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “Palestinians are having a field day with the hole from Gilboa Prison and I’m here for it
.”
.”On September 6, 2021, six Palestinian prisoners escaped from the maximum-security Gilboa Prison in Israel. The escaped prisoners were convicted members of the terror organizations Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, who were jailed for their involvement in attacks carried out during the second intifada. All were recaptured by September 19, 2021, by Israeli authorities.
On October 12, 2023, during an Israeli war against Hamas terrorists, Abuhashim co-sponsored a student government resolution titled: “Acknowledging Palestinian Suffering Under Israeli Apartheid.”
The resolution called on Cornell to “recognize the Palestinian right to resistance and contextualize the violence as a direct response to decades of Israel’s occupation.”
Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” can be a euphemism for nationalistic terror. It is often used to excuse or even glorify anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
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, over 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.

Also, on May 15, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “If you were at the Palestine protest today post it, talk about it, spread the word. We need everyone on campus to see what’s happening ‘Hey Martha don’t you know, the occupations got to go.’”
The same day, Abuhashim also posted video clips from the protest to an Instagram story highlight, titled Nakba ‘21, including a video of her speaking [slide 4] at the rally, stating: “I'm tired of hearing there are two sides to the story...There are two sides to the story; the colonizers and the colonized.”

.”On June 10, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “Normalize unfollowing people that post birthright trip photos. not tryna [trying to] see my land get colonized on the timeline.”
Birthright Israel is a heritage trip to Israel for Jewish young adults from across the world.
Hatred of Israel
On October 25, 2023, during Israel’s war against Hamas after the October 7 terror attacks, Abuhashim reportedly “helped to organize” a Cornell SJP rally titled: “RALLY AT DAY HALL / ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.” Cornell SJP held the rally “to protest against Cornell’s dismissal and contribution to Palestinian suffering.”
The protesters chanted: “Hey hey, ho ho! The occupation has got to go!” and “No justice, no peace!” Protesters also held posters that said: “FREE ALL PALESTINIAN PRISONERS” and “END ALL U.S. AID TO ISRAEL!”
On June 1, 2021, Abuhashim tweeted: “Y’all better pray Palestine gets freed bc [because] if I reach 40 and we’re still occupied I stg [swear to god] I will singlehandedly destroy the world economy.”

Cornell SJP Activists Push an Anti-Israel Statement 2020-2021
On May 13, 2021, Abuhashim signed an anti-Israel statement written by Cornell SJP activists. In May 2021, Laila Abd Elmagid, Cornell SJP activist and Vice President of Internal Affairs with the Cornell Student Assembly (SA), reportedly helped write an anti-Israel statement titled: “Recognizing and Condemning Violent Attacks Against Palestinians.”The statement, published on Cornell SA letterhead, said: “We, the undersigned, are writing to condemn the violent and vicious acts of terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and settler-colonialism, that have been plaguing Palestinians for years and specifically regarding recent events.”
The statement also alleged Israel carried out “illegal evictions” and deliberately targeted Palestinians celebrating Ramadan for violent attacks. Claiming “Mosques full of Muslims observing the last 10 days of Ramadan in solitude were attacked with grenades and ransacked,” the statement also alleged that Israel was considering an invasion of Gaza during the Islamic holiday of Eid.
Incitement around Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah were leading factors in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists firing over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at Israel’s major centers on May 10-21, 2021. In response, Israel launched “Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW),” striking military targets in the terrorist-controlled enclave.
The statement then called on the university administration to “act immediately” to end “their relationship with Technion in Haifa, Israel” and “any relationship between the Cornell University Police Department (CUPD) and Israel.” The statement also called on the University to issue a statement in defense of Palestinian rights and to reconsider investments in Israel.
On May 13, 2021, Cornell’s student newspaper, The Cornell Review, reported that Abd Elmagid, as well as Uche Chukwukere, SA Vice President of Finance and SJP Cornell affiliate, and Joseph Mullen, an SJP Cornell activist and incoming College of Arts and Sciences Representative, introduced the anti-Israel statement during the final SA meeting of the year.

Kanafani was also involved in the Lod Airport Massacre near Tel Aviv, for which PFLP took responsibility.
Cornell SJP - Demonizing Israel 2020-2021
On April 21, 2021, Cornell SJP promoted an April 22, 2021 “virtual teach-in” on the “Deadly Exchange” and encouraged students to “tune in to find out what it will take to end the militarization of campus police and (one aspect of) Cornell's complicity in the occupation of Palestine!”Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) launched the “Deadly Exchange” campaign in 2017. The campaign claimed that American Jewish organizations promoted human rights abuses. A video for the campaign by JVP accused American Jewish organizations of planning programs between American and Israeli security personnel, to advance“racist policies.”
On December 13, 2020, Cornell SJP hosted a teach-in titled: “Health and the Israeli Occupation.”
The event description alleged: “The apartheid system imposed by the Israeli occupation of Palestine extends to all facets of life, including health and medical treatment…Hospitals in Gaza are frequently demolished by Israeli bomber planes.”
Hamas has used hospitals in Gaza as command centers, weapons storage and launch sites for missile and rocket attacks against Israel in violation of international humanitarian law in regard to armed conflicts.
Cornell SJP - Demonizing Israel 2019-2020
On February 21, 2020, during the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, Cornell SJP hosted a webinar titled: “Mental Health Under Siege - the Case of Palestine” given by four members of the Palestine Global Mental Health Network (PGMHN) steering committee.The Facebook event description accused Israel of “political violence, institutional racism, and internal colonialism,” claiming that Israel does not “just target the physical living conditions of the Palestinians, but aims to break the very fabric of their society, their souls, and their psyche as well.”
One of the speakers, Mustafa Qassoqsi, described [00:11:53] the founding of the state of Israel as the “colonization of Palestine by European Jews” and accused [00:13:15] Israel of “settler colonialism” and [00:15:00] “ethnic cleansing.”
Another presenter, Samah Jabr, head of the Mental Health Unit within the Palestinian Ministry of Health, claimed [00:38:15] that Israel’s humanitarian aid to Gaza is a “deceiving mask for sadistic intentions.”
Rana Nashashibi, a psychologist living and practicing in Jerusalem, alleged [00:46:54] that the Gaza Strip and most of the West Bank today is “very much like a huge, overcrowded prison, whose inmates are kept in check by heavily armed guards at the gates.”
Nashashibi added [00:47:11]: “If…this prison were to be called anything, it would be ‘a ghetto.’”
On November 22, 2019, Cornell SJP hosted an event titled: “Teach-in Gaza: Life inside the world's largest open air prison.”
The event description on Facebook said: “we will be discussing the history of Gaza from the Nakba to the Great March of Return to last week's military aggression by Israel. Learn more about U.S ally Israel's role in creating the world's largest open air prison...and how Palestinians today are fighting back for their lands.”
The term “Nakba” is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term often used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by defining it as a catastrophe.
The “right of return” is a Palestinian demand discredited as a means to eliminate Israel.
In November 2019, Israel launched Operation Black Belt to stop rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel. From November 12 to November 14, 2019, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror group sent hundreds of rockets into Israel, targeting major civilian population centers.

Cornell senators also used a secret ballot to vote on the bill. The bill ultimately failed to pass.
In October 2019, Cornell SJP moved to direct confrontation, disrupting the quarterly meeting of Cornell’s Board of Trustees and calling on the Board to “sever ties” with the Technion. Cornell SJP also called to eliminate the Board’s power of discretion in investments in “the occupation of Palestine.”

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.
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.
