Mohammed Nabulsi [Mohammed Hisam Nabulsi] is an anti-Israel activist who called for chaos in American cities and glorified terrorism in 2024. He has also celebrated intifada violence, honored terrorists, disrupted campus events and spread hatred of Israel.Nabulsi has praised [00:07:45] anti-Israel student movements.
As early as 2017, Nabulsi was an activist with the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM). Since then, Nabulsi served as a PYM National Executive Board Member in 2020, the PYM Vice General Coordinator in 2021 and he was reportedly a “member of PYM’s Houston chapter” in 2022.
In July 2021, Nabulsi married fellow PYM activist Lina Assi.
In August 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “How I will raise my children..” along with a 2002 photo from the second intifada showing two young boys wearing keffiyehs while at the front of a terrorist vehicle. An armed terrorist stood behind both boys and one boy held a toy assault rifle. Assi responded: “11/10 parenting.”
Nabulsi was a leader of the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) in 2015. PSC is an alternative name for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
Nabulsi spoke at the 2018 National SJP (NSJP) Conference and he participated in the 2017 and 2016 NSJP Conferences.
As of March 2023, Nabulsi was listed as a trial attorney at the Lassiter Law Firm in Houston, Texas. His bio said he was a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law (Texas Law). He has reportedly been eligible to practice law in Texas since 2017.
As of March 2023, Nabulsi’s LinkedIn page said he graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Philosophy in 2014.
In March 2019 Nabulsi used the name “Mohammed Zakeria” on Facebook.
As of March 2023, Nabulsi went by the username “م. النابلسي [M. Nabulsi]” and used the handle “@abuk2121” on Twitter. However, in July 2019, he went by the username “(م. النابلسي ) Abu Kifah” and used handle “@m_zakeria.”
Calling for Chaos in American Cities
On May 25, 2024, BreakThrough News uploaded a video to YouTube featuring Nabulsi speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan. PYM co-organized the conference during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists, launched after Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023.In one of his speeches, Nabulsi addressed strategies for anti-Israel protesters, saying [00:40:20]: “Mass mobilizations is the primary tactic. It's pouring people, thousands and millions, into the streets.”
Nabulsi then listed [00:41:24] some of his suggested mass mobilization tactics, stating: “Street shutdowns through unsanctioned marches, bridge and train shutdowns, airport caravans and shutdowns, encampments, building takeovers, targeting of weapons manufacturers…shutting down events, bird-dogging. All of the things that we've seen throughout these last eight months.”
Nabulsi later said [00:45:46]: “I believe our fundamental role is to generate political and social crisis within the American ruling class.”
Glorifying Terrorism
On May 24, 2024, while delivering a speech at the People’s Conference for Palestine, Nabulsi opened [00:25:41] by saying: “We begin today by extending our salutations to our people in Palestine and to our noble, steadfast resistance who continues to defend our people and honors our dignity and struggle.”Anti-Israel activists use the term “resistance” to refer to violence and terror perpetrated against Israeli civilians and their allies. It is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence. Anti-Israel activists chant slogans such as: “Resistance by any means necessary!” and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied!” in response to terror attacks.
Nabulsi continued [00:26:15]: “Eternal glory to our martyrs!...And freedom for our steadfast prisoners! Over the last eight months, we, the Palestinian people have demonstrated to the entire world that the only way we can author our own history and to transform our present reality is the path of unity through resistance.”
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.
On July 24, 2018, in response to a tweet that read: “We love our land We will fight
,” Nabulsi tweeted: “This is a sentiment that's incomprehensible for most of the West, inclu. those who purport to support us. Resistance isn't only the path we've chosen, but one that is deeply entrenched in every aspect of our peoplehood. It's our way of being in spite of your sensibilities.”On July 20, 2018, Nabulsi shared a tweet from the Hamas Twitter account “@hamasinfo” and wrote: “The resistance is prepared, capable, & moving forward in balancing this equation,as a guarantee, no matter the sacrifices. For our Palestinian people, & the courageous resistance behind them, will exercise all of their might to secure their rights & break the siege on Gaza. (1).”
Israel and Egypt implemented a UN-approved [pp. 39–41] joint blockade of the Gaza Strip in 2011 to stop Hamas from acquiring more sophisticated rockets. Hamas went around the blockade by smuggling weaponry through tunnels under the Philadelphi corridor separating Gaza from Egypt.
On July 3, 2016, Nabulsi gave a speech at an anti-Israel rally in New York City on behalf of NYC SJP, a group that was renamed Within Our Lifetime (WOL) in 2018.
In the speech, Nabuli said [00:01:11]: “I see a lot of young folks here and that’s important because we are the future. We will carry on the resistance. Just as Palestinians, as young as 12 years old are out in the streets throwing rocks, we need here to be mobilizing in the same exact way. So I expect to see the youth… organizing and mobilizing in support of the Palestinian cause.”
Although romanticized as a form of “popular resistance,” rock throwing remains a deadly form of violence.
In August 2015, Nabulsi wrote an article titled: “BDS 10 Years On: Anti-Colonial Demands in a Liberal Framework.”
In the article, Nabulsi said that BDS activists “must look to and support Palestinian resistance groups and civil organizations that remain steadfast…such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad.”
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is a terror group “whose objective is the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of a sovereign, Islamic Palestinian state.” PIJ is backed by Iran and has killed dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks.
Celebrating Intifada Violence
On January 23, 2023, Nabulsi led [00:08:29] protestors at an anti-Israel rally in Austin in chanting: “There is only one solution, intifada revolution! … From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!”The term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” carries the connotation of violence. Palestinian intifadas waged against Israel have been marked since 1987 by hundreds of hijackings, shootings, stabbings, bombings and suicide missions.
“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.
The rally where he led the chants was dubbed “Shutdown IAC” and it took place outside the Israeli American Council (IAC) summit in the Fairmount Hotel. During the rally, Nabulsi yelled [00:08:29] “Traitor traitor traitor!” at Arab-Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad, who Nabulsi accused of being “hired by them to say there is no apartheid.”
On November 18, 2018, Nabulsi featured [00:00:52] in a Facebook video from the 2018 NSJP Conference, where he led about 100 participants in the chant: “Long live the intifada! Intifada, intifada! Intifada, intifada!”
On June 2, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “When I'm asked, ‘What's your proposed solution?’” The tweet featured a graphic showing armed terrorists. The graphic said: “PALESTINE: LET THE INTIFADA PAVE THE WAY FOR PEOPLE’S WAR.”
In an October 18, 2015 post to the North Texas BDS Facebook page, Nabulsi wrote: “Join us next Saturday at the Houston [Israeli] Consulate in solidarity with the Palestinian Intifada.” He shared a PSC event titled: “Solidarity with the Palestinian Uprising: Call to Action!”
In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians.
The event’s Facebook description called on “Palestinians and supporters of the Palestinian cause to stand up for” and support “the popular resistance” against “the genocidal Zionist project…without conditions and without apology.” The description ended with: “Long Live the Intifada!”
Honoring Terrorists (Hamas, PIJ, PFLP)
On August 18, 2016, Nabulsi was featured in an NYC SJP Facebook photo, holding a sign that said: “Free Bilal Kayed. End administrative detention.”PFLP terrorist Bilal Kayed was incarcerated for 14 years for terror attacks and attempted terror attacks committed during the second intifada, in 2002.
On March 23, 2017, Nabulsi posted on Facebook in honor of PFLP terrorist Rasmea Odeh, writing: “Ramsea [sic] is an example to us all.”
Odeh was a key military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a PFLP supermarket bombing that killed two college students. She also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Odeh later moved to the United States but was deported to Jordan in 2017 for immigration fraud.
On July 8, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “Today marks the 46 anniversary of the assassination of Comrade Ghassan Kanafani and his 17 y.o. niece Lamees Najim by the Mossad. Kanafani exemplifies the revolutionary creativity of our people. His art and thoughts were not his own—they were and are weapons of our struggle.”
Kanafani was a leading member and spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) during the terrorist organization’s early years. Kanafani announced the PFLP’s responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre of May 1972 and was linked to the airport attackers. The attack killed 26 people and wounded 80 others.
As of July 2018, Nabulsi’s Twitter photo was an image of PFLP founder George Habash, who has been called “thegodfather of Middle East terrorism” and masterminded multiple airline hijackings in the 1970s.
On July 24, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “Song in spirit of Dalal Moghrabi, Palestinian martyr, who lead an operation with 10 others against Israel in 1978. Moghrabi is smeared as killing 38 civilians when it was the Zionist military that killed its own civilians.
هزت كيان إسرائيل دلال المغربيه [The Israeli entity was shaken by Dalal Moghrabi].”
Dalal Mughrabi, a member of the Fatah faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), participated in the 1978 Coastal Road massacre in Israel. She and other terrorists hijacked a bus in an attack that left 38 Israeli civilians dead, including 13 children.
On July 26, 2018, Mohammad Tareq Dar Yusuf killed one person and injured two others in a stabbing attack in Israel. He was shot and killed by one of the people he stabbed.
Also on July 26, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “To our martyrs who lay down their lives in service of our struggle belongs our unwavering and unconditional salutations. May we redeem you all.”
On August 8, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “Israel fired 2 rockets from Apache helicopters into Abu Ali's Ramallah office. He is the highest Palestinian political figure of any party assassinated by Israel. PFLP redeemed his martyrdom by killing Israeli tourist minister & advocate of assassinations Rehavam Ze'evi.”
Abu Ali Mustafa, also known as Mustafa Zibri, was secretary general of terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Mustafa was involved in multiple bomb attacks during his tenure. Following his death, the PFLP renamed their armed wing the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades.
On August 27, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “Abu Ali Mustafa, martyred by assassination by the Zionist military on August 27, 2001. Eternal glory belongs to him.”
Disrupting Campus Events
On November 3, 2017, after SJP activists disrupted and walked out of a David Horowitz lecture at the University of Houston, Nabulsi led [00:00:07] activists in the chants: “Islamophobes! Off our campus! Racists! Off our campus! Homophobes! Off our campus!...Zionists! Off our campus!...Xenophobes! Off our campus!”The protesters included members of other campus organizations such as the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), United Mission for Relief and Development (UMR) Houston and PYM Houston.
On November 13, 2015, Nabulsi disrupted an event organized by Professor Ami Pedahzur of UT, titled: “The Origin of a Species: The Birth of the Israeli Defense Forces’ Military Culture.”
During the event, Nabulsi interrupted the speaker to deliver a prepared speech, after which the other PSC members began chanting: “Long Live the intifada!”
The disruption resulted in a near-physical confrontation between Nabulsi and Professor Pedahzur. Campus police later arrived and detained the PSC members.
Following the incident, PSC accused Professor Pedahzur of assault and filed a complaint with the university, and launched a campaign on Facebook calling on students to file complaints against Pedahzur. PSC finance committee chair Ahmed Khawaja also initiated a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to sue Pedahzur.
Professor Pedahzur later received death threats and vacated the offices at the Israeli Studies Institute due to concern for his personal safety and that of his students.
In October 2014, Nabulsi and other PSC members disrupted a talk by Israeli Major General Meir Dagan, former head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service. Following the disruption, Nabulsi led a protest outside the event.
Hatred of Israel
On June 16, 2018, Nabulsi tweeted: “Can you imagine that Zionist refer to the very tunnels that (barely) sustain life in Gaza as ‘terror tunnels.’ In other words, the sustenance of Palestinian life is terror in the eyes of Zionist. What scum.”Hamas terror tunnels are intended for mass murders and hostage-taking scenarios against Israeli civiliansand soldiers. They stretch from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
In March 2015, Nabulsi and other members of the PSC organized a protest across the street from an Israel Block Party held by Texas Hillel and Texans for Israel. PSC members constructed a “mock Apartheid Wall” in protest.
The “mock apartheid wall” is a series of panels meant to represent Israel's security barrier, which was built as a deterrent to Palestinian terror attacks and in response to Palestinian sniper attacks. Panels feature misleading statistics and “facts” that present a skewed image of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
BDS Activism
The resolution called on the University of Texas Investment Management Company (UTIMCO) to divest itself of holdings in companies that “facilitate in the oppression of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel.” The divestment measure failed to pass.
Featured Speaker at 2024 People’s Conference for Palestine
Featured Speaker at 2025 People’s Conference for Palestine
Mohammed Nabulsi was listed as a speaker at the 2025 People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan.Speakers for the 2025 conference, the theme of which is “Gaza is the Compass,” include two terrorists released from Israeli prisons, as well as anti-Israel political figures Linda Sarsour, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil.
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 Student 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.
PYM
In 2012, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM USA) released a statement saying: “Our liberation...will be gained with the path that was written with the blood of our martyrs. We reaffirm that the only path that we are concerned with is the path that explicitly heads towards the liberation of our land and the return of our people to Palestine.”
PYM organized rallies demonizing Israel where it displays propaganda posters supporting the terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and compared Israel to Nazi Germany.
On October 25, 2015, PYM called to support “intifada” during a period when Palestinian radicals across Israel stabbed and hacked to death scores of Israeli civilians. PYM alleged that “Al-Aqsa Mosque has been the target of particularly brutal assaults” and that “... arbitrary killings are committed daily by the Zionist military and settlers.”
On November 10, 2015, the PYM Facebook page displayed a photo of masked Palestinian radicals throwing rocks and firing rocks from slingshots. That photo was used to promote at least 25 anti-Israel rallies across the globe on or around November 29, 2015 under the banner of “Transnational mobilization for Palestinian resistance.”
On November 30, 2015, PYM displayed a photo on Facebook from one of the rallies showing a sign in support of PFLP member Khalida Jarrar, who confessed to inciting violence and calling for terrorists to abduct Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers.
Another sign showed support for PFLP Secretary-General Ahmad Sadat, who was convicted for the 2001 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi.
