Promoting Incitement
In May 2021, Palestinian violence erupted in anticipation of an Israel High Court ruling on eviction proceedings concerning over 70 Palestinian tenants illegally residing in Jewish-owned properties in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
Navid retweeted a May 11, 2021 tweet that contained a video with a description that concluded: “Abolish Zionism. Free Palestine. In our lifetime. #SaveSheikhJarrah #FreePalestine.”
Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture.
The video description also accused Israel of “genocide” and claimed that Israel was a “Jewish ethnostate founded on stolen Palestinian land.”
Navid retweeted a May 16, 2021 tweet that said: “Nakba Day Rally/Protest in LA 25k strong #SaveSheikhJarrah #FreePalestine
¼.”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.
Incitement surrounding Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah were leading factors in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists firing over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at Israeli population centers from May 10 to 21, 2021. In response to rocket attacks from Gaza, Israel launched “Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW),” striking military targets in the terrorist-controlled enclave.
The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.
Hatred of Israel
Navid retweeted a May 15, 2021 tweet from Rutgers University assistant professor and BDS supporter Noura Erakat that included a link to an article titled: “Palestine & Praxis: Scholars for Palestinian Freedom.”
The letter endorsed BDS and referred to Israel as a “settler colonial state” that promotes policies that “constitute apartheid, bolstered by a brute force that enshrines territorial theft and the racial supremacy of Jewish-Zionist nationals.”
Navid retweeted a May 16, 2021 tweet during OGW that said: “Just an incredible speech by @4noura [Erakat] in the belly of the beast of the US empire yesterday…”
In her speech, Erakat claimed [00:01:19] that Hamas did not possess the same military weaponry as Israel and therefore could not target its enemies as efficiently as Israel. She also claimed Israel was “targeting children [and] families” and received a “blank check” from the United States, the “imperial capital of the world.”
Navid retweeted a May 16, 2021 tweet that said: “...Palestinians are rising up to put an end to a 73-year-old Nakba. Help them end it.”
Navid retweeted a May 17, 2021 tweet that said: “Tomorrow, May 18th: call for general strike across historic Palestine, call for international action. Like all colonised and oppressed people Palestinians will liberate themselves…”
Also during OGW, Navid retweeted a May 19, 2021, tweet by anti-Israel agitator Mohammed El-Kurd that said: “The myth of Israeli self-defense relies inherently on public ignorance…Israel’s ‘right to self-defense’ is debunked upon establishing that Israel is in fact never defending itself. It is always the perpetrator.”
Navid retweeted a May 25, 2021 tweet that featured a video in which Erakat claimed [00:00:12] that Palestinians “continue to struggle under apartheid and occupation.” Erakat also advocated [00:00:58] putting “sanctions on Israel” and urged [00:01:05] “all people to become involved” in the BDS movement.
Anti-Israel Activism (BDS)
In 2015, while serving as an ASUC senator, Navid authored a BDS resolution titled: “A Resolution in Support of Divestment from Corporations Violating Palestinian Human Rights.”Navid co-authored a February 6, 2015 article in UC Berkeley’s student newspaper, The Daily Californian, promoting BDS. The article urged UC student representatives to pressure the UC governing board to implement the resolution which sought “to divest from companies involved in Israel’s occupation.”
CAIR
CAIR describes itself as a “grassroots civil rights and advocacy group” and “America's largest Muslim civil liberties organization, with regional offices nationwide.” Its official mission is “enhance understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.”
CAIR reportedly has “significant ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Hamas. A number of former CAIR employees have been convicted on fraud and terrorism-related charges that resulted monetary fines, jail terms and, sometimes, deportation.
CAIR was founded in 1994 and opened its first office in Washington, DC, with the help of a $5,000 donation from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a charity founded by Mousa Abu Marzook.
Marzook, who was listed as a "Specially Designated Terrorist" by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1995, is reportedly a senior member of Hamas.
In May 2007, CAIR was listed as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a U.S.-filed action against the HLF for providing funds to Hamas.
CAIR was also listed as a terrorist entity by the United Arab Emirates, in 2014.
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.
