Ninevehta Khoshaba

Overview

Ninevehta Khoshaba has promoted terrorists and whitewashed anti-Semitism. Khoshaba has also spread hatred of Zionists, demonized America, spread hatred of Israel and supported the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

As of March 2021, Khoshaba was listed as a Sociology student on The College of Arts and Sciences fall 2020 Dean's List at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU).

Also as of March 2021, Khoshaba’s Facebook page said she lived in Chicago, Illinois.

Promoting Terrorists

Khoshaba retweeted a December 6, 2020 tweet that said: “In a letter from Palestinian women prisoners to Palestinian writers: ‘Your books here are arrested like our people are.’ - Khalida Jarrar #PalestineWrites.” 

The tweet was in response to another tweet quoting from a Palestine Writes panel event, that said: “‘In theory, each woman prisoner is allowed to receive 2 books a month... however, depriving prisoners of books is used as a punitive measure…’ ~ Khalida Jarrar.”

Khalida Jarrar is a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror organization. She has reportedly been the head of the PFLP in the West Bank since 2016. In 2015, an Israeli military court sentenced Jarrar to 15 months in prison for calling to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Israel arrested Jarrar again in 2017 “on suspicion of involvement with terrorist activities and violent public disturbances.” In 2019, she was arrested by Israel with 50 other PFLP operatives following a deadly 2018 bombing attack.

On December 4, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “The Parallel Lives of Ghassan Kanafani & James Baldwin @PalestineWrites panel was incredible. If you weren't able to check it out, I highly recommend watching a recording of it once it's available. #PalestineWrites.”

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.  

The description for the panel event said: “Discussions will look at how far ahead of their time they were; how they shaped their respective people and the world beyond; and their fearlessness—because much of what they said was dangerous in their time.”

The description also referred to Kanafani and Baldwin as “two literary icons” with “moral fortitude [and] dignity.”

Khoshaba retweeted an August 10, 2020 tweet that said: “Day 48 #AhmadErekat still held in captivity after death...”

Ahmad Erekat [Ahmad Moustafa Erekat; Ahmed Erakat] was killed by Israeli security forces after he accelerated and rammed his car into soldiers at a checkpoint. One female soldier was injured. The incident was captured on video.  

Whitewashing Anti-Semitism

The implication that AIPAC buys political support for Israel has been described as playing into “anti-Semitic tropes” that led to “centuries of stereotypes about Jews using money to control the world.”  

Also on February 11, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “It’s not an anti-Semitic trope…”

On January 7, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “This is infuriating. Stop conflating being anti-Israel with being anti-Semitic. #IStandWithAngela.”

Angela Davis made the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List in 1970 after being charged as a principal in an aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder, for purchasing the shotgun used in the abduction and killing of a judge.  

Spreading Hatred of Zionists

On July 15, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “Assyrian Zionists, you can f**k off too. You're not excused just because we share an ethnicity.”

On April 25, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “Some of us don’t like Zionists. Go cry about it.”

On October 19, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “What made this person think it was a good idea to follow me? F**k Israel. Go away.” Her tweet included a screenshot of a Twitter account with Israeli flags in the profile picture.

On September 12, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “I just wanna say that I hope every Assyrian who supports Israel chokes. ”

Demonizing America

On January 13, 2021, Khoshaba tweeted: “A country founded on genocide and slavery cannot and should not be redeemed.” 

Khoshaba’s tweet was in response to a tweet on the same date by Steven Salaita that said: “People who recognize the USA as irredeemable are the only real source of hope within and beyond this rotting polity.”

On June 28, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “The clinic is closed all of next week for Fourth of July, so I had to book a therapy session for the 13th. A whole WEEK without therapy ‘in honor’ of Fourth of July? F**k Fourth of July and f**k America.”

Hatred of Israel

On December 9, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted screenshots of comments she made on Instagram, where she wrote: “I am resolute in my anti-Zionism, which goes hand in hand with being fervently against white supremacy.”

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 10, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “...F**k Israel and f**k you.”

On July 14, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “I've been noticing Zionists bringing up Assyrians—as an example of an indigenous minority group—to justify the need for ethnostates. I'd rather be kept out of asinine arguments regarding indigeneity if you're trying to justify the existence of a violent settler-colonial state.”

On June 5, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted a quote from an article: “‘Corporations like Ben & Jerry's attempt to commodify the Black liberation struggle to capitalize off of this moment without having any real principles behind them. How can they claim to stand against white supremacy when they continue to fuel it by supporting Israel?’”

Khoshaba’s tweet linked to a tweet of a Middle East Eye article that criticized ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s for operating in Israel.

On February 26, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “... I’d truly rather fade into nonexistence than have Assyrians forge ties with Israel.”

On November 15, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “F**k every Assyrian who supports Israel.” Khoshaba’s tweet was in response to a tweet from the Shlama Foundation about its volunteers attending a “lecture called ‘Aramaic as Israel’s Second Language’ by Dr. Yaacov Maoz, an Assyrian Jew,” who was “visiting North America from Israel.”

On the same date, Khoshaba tweeted again about the Shlama Foundation tweet: “F**k every single one of these people.”

On November 4, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “Israel IS a project of white settler colonialism. Saying there are dark skinned Israelis does nothing to refute that. F**k off.”

On October 4, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “What else are Assyrians all about? Oh, if any of you support Israel, you can just f**k right off.”

On September 5, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted an image of “F**K ISRAEL” written in molasses and wrote: “My Israeli molasses spilled onto my Israeli tahini in such a weird way. Oh, and that’s not Iraqi bread. That’s Israeli too.”

On the same date, Khoshaba tweeted the same image and wrote: “I don’t know what happened. The molasses just spilled out like that.”

On August 22, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “As long as you guys don’t go to or support Israel, we’re good.”

On May 2, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “I’m personally sick of so-called progressive politicians who support Israel.”

On February 28, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “That’s what you get for sourcing your fabrics from factories in illegal Israeli settlements.” Khoshaba’s tweet was in response to another tweet that said: “Victoria’s Secret is closing 53 stores this year.”

On June 9, 2017, Khoshaba tweeted: “She's pro-IDF. She served, and while that's mandatory, supporting them is terrible 'cause they've killed thousands of innocent Palestinians.” Khoshaba’s tweet referenced a July 25, 2014 Facebook post published by Gal Gadot during Operation Protective Edge (OPE).

Gadot’s post showed a picture of herself with her young daughter lighting Shabbat candles with text reading: “I am sending my love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens. Especially to all the boys and girls who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas, who are hiding like cowards behind women and children...We shall overcome!!! Shabbat Shalom! #weareright #freegazafromhamas #stopterror #coexistance #loveidf

Israel commenced Operation Protective Edge (OPE) in July 2014, to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.  

Supporting BDS

On December 2, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted: “Tune into the last @PalestineWrites panel of the day, Organizing and Boycott in the Cultural Sphere. I can already tell this is gonna be great. #PalestineWrites.”

On April 25, 2020, Khoshaba tweeted a photo of six books including BOYCOTT DIVESTMENT SANCTIONS by BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti and UNCIVIL RITES - PALESTINE AND THE LIMITS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM by anti-Israel activist Steven Salaita. Khoshaba wrote in her tweet: “Thank you to my cute for tagging me. Six books I have read, am currently reading, and am planning on reading.”

On February 5, 2019, Khoshaba tweeted: “Provisions against a legitimate movement that supports Palestinians and urges Israel to comply with international law. Yeah, sounds about right coming from the US Senate. What a shame.”

Khoshaba’s tweet was in response to a Middle East Eye tweet about the U.S. Senate voting “overwhelmingly” in favor of a Middle East policy bill intended “To make improvements to certain defense and security assistance provisions and to authorize the appropriation of funds to Israe” which also contained a section combating BDS.
