Misappropriating the Suffering of Holocaust Victims

On September 10, 2015, Basma tweeted a photo of three Holocaust victims at a concentration camp, with one of the victim’s faces replaced with a photo of his friend Ebrahim Allouzi’s face. The tweet read: "Yall pray for my bro plz."

Portraying Terrorists as Victims

On October 12, 2015, Basma retweeted a tweet that misrepresented an attempted-murderer, Ahmed Manasra as an innocent victim. The tweet read: "A Palestinian boy bleeding from his head is surrounded by #Israelis kicking him & shouting Die already son of a Sl*t."

Ahmed Manasra (sometimes spelled Mansara) and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan went on a stabbing spree in Jerusalem on October 12, 2015, during the Knife Intifada. They critically wounded a 13-year-old boy and moderately wounded a 25-year-old man. The spree ended when police shot Hassan and a passing motorist hit Ahmed. Ahmed was taken to an Israeli hospital. He admitted to investigators: “I went there to stab Jews.” He was later tried and convicted on two counts of attempted murder.

Propagating A Blood Libel

On September 30, 2015, Basma retweeted a tweet that said: "Palestinian child Mohammed Al-Dura, and his father, murdered on video by Israeli soldiers" and featured images from an iconic propaganda stunt — dubbed the Al Durah hoax.
