Anti-Semitism

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) highlights as one possible contemporary example of anti-Semitism: “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Over 40 countries have adopted the definition as well.

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.


On August 8, 2014, Albanna also shared an image on Facebook that featured a fake quote attributed to naturalist David Attenborough.

The quote read: “I am unaware of any animal that is as cruel as Israelis -- not even crocodiles. They bomb schools, hospitals, refugee camps, orphanages, UN feeding stations, water works, power plants, ambulances, kids playing on the beach. They put millions of people in a siege. They shoot children going to school. They kidnap kids and harvest their organs. They inject prisoners with disease pathogens before releasing them. They murder by land sea and air. And worst of all, they slander their defenceless victims as ‘terrorists.’” 

On July 31, 2014, Albanna tweeted: “nowadays everything is made in China, except cowards. They're made in Israel 🙌😂💯.”

On November 19, 2013, Albanna shared an image on Facebook that read: “What is the root of all evil? Israel.”

Glorifying a Terrorist 

As of December 2020, Albanna’s Facebook cover photo featured a drawing of Leila Khaled with an assault rifle.

Khaled is a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and participated in the hijacking of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970. As of 2017, Khaled was a member of PFLP's Political Bureau.


Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.


The PFLP claimed credit for the 2014 Har Nof Massacre where six people were murdered during morning prayers in a Jerusalem synagogue. The PFLP also claimed credit for the 2001 assassination of the Israeli tourism minister. 

Promoting Conspiracy Theories

On July 13, 2014, Albanna shared an image on Facebook that read: “9-11 was an inside job.”

On March 20, 2015, Albanna tweeted: “Kurds, stop thinking ‘Israel’ has you in mind, they want you dead just as much as the Palestinian people 💯

During 2014 and 2015, IsraAID, an Israeli relief agency, provided aid to refugees in Iraqi Kurdistan.

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.
