Supporting Hezbollah

On April 9, 2017, Eid tweeted: “My extremely complicated and nuanced opinion on Hezbollah is them f**king with Israel makes my d**k really hard.”

Hezbollah has long been known as an anti-Semitic and genocidal terror organization dedicated to destroying Israel. 

The U.S. State Department designated Hezbollah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 1997.

Also on April 9, 2017, Eid tweeted that she supported Hezbollah because “they kicked Israel's a** and I appreciate that for obv [obvious] reasons.”

On the same day, Eid tweeted: “The one I used the private browsing option it was to look up stuff about the PFLP which is dumb bc [because] I tweet about Hezbollah making me hard.”

Promoting Violence

On June 11, 2021, Eid was featured in a podcast where she said [00:43:12]: “The reason that settlers get so freaked out about this concept of reparations, this idea of decolonization, this idea that there is going to be violent reprisals…They know they f*cking deserve violent reprisals.”

In the same podcast, Eid accused [00:43:04] Israel of committing “genocide” since its founding in 1948. She also said [00:44:10]: “Revenge is a moral right.”

On January 16, 2021, Eid tweeted in support of a tweet that said: “lol Palestinians were polled on beating up gulf Arabs who come to pray at Al Aqsa and a plurality support it.”

Eid commented: “F*ck around and find out, the Palestinian motto.”

On May 9, 2017, Eid tweeted a screenshot of one of her tweets that read: “the proletariat gotta be armed so I’m in this b**ch.”

On March 11, 2017, Eid tweeted: “Zionists who think the only wrong thing Israel has done is settlements &then barely condemn those do in fact deserve to be thrown in the sea.”

On January 29, 2017, Eid tweeted a photo of her firing a gun at a shooting range and wrote: “Also, I learned the basics of how to shoot yesterday bc [because] we got some crazy a** times ahead.”

On October 18, 2015, Eid tweeted: “How are you even this far into the apocalypse and wanna get antsy when it comes to guns. There's no time for your pacifism you fools.”

Hatred of Zionists

On February 1, 2022, Eid tweeted: “Zionism really is moral and intellectual brain rot and adherence to it makes one less human.”

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.


Also on February 1, 2022, Eid tweeted: “… Zionists all their lives are encouraged to be as hateful, self absorbed and detached from reality as possible.”

On November 21, 2021, Eid tweeted: “... every type of zionist can get f**ked.”

Also on November 21, 2021, Eid tweeted: “If every single Jewish person in the world was a Zionist that would not change the fact that Zionism is an existential threat to the Palestinian people and therefore needs to be eradicated…”

On March 15, 2017, Eid tweeted: “Will telling liberal Zionists to lick my a** when they want to ‘debate’ change anything? Prob not. Will it make me feel better?Yea.Self care.”

On August 23, 2016, Eid tweeted: “my school is Zionist and neoliberal as f**k dude, I'm gonna have to fight everyone eventually.”

On March 24, 2015, Eid tweeted: “I'm just really not impressed by those who consider themselves ‘Liberal’ or ‘Moderate’ Zionist. you're a fancy racist. A cheerful colonizer.”

On the same day, Eid tweeted: “Liberal’ and ‘moderate’ Zionists are still behind illegal settlements and apartheid. What use is it to anyone that they feel bad about it?”

On March 5, 2015, Eid tweeted: “The term ‘moderate Zionist’ makes me snort. You can't rebrand colonialism dude, not for too long anyway.”

Idolizing PFLP Leaders

On May 22, 2021, Eid tweeted a photo on Twitter of herself with Rasmea Odeh and commented: “It’s apparently Rasmea Odeh’s birthday so here’s a pic of me embarrassing myself and starting to cry telling her how inspirational she’s been and continues to be.”

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.

The PFLP has been designated a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the United States, Canada, Israel, the European Union, the Gulf Cooperation Council and Australia.  

On October 21, 2020, Eid posted to Facebook an image of her holding her phone with an image of Ghassan Kanafani on it.

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.  


On April 9, 2019, Eid tweeted a graphic of Leila Khaled holding a rifle, along with a quote attributed to Khaled that said: “I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love and be loved. She can be married, have children, be a mother… The question of women is a part of our struggle but not the only part. Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life.”

In the tweet, Eid commented: “My sister reminded me of this beautiful Leila Khalid quote.”

Leila 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. In 2014, Khaled said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough.

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.

On November 5, 2017, Eid’s Twitter page featured a photo of her wearing a shirt with an image of Leila Khaled. Her background photo featured an image of George Habash.

George Habash, who has been called“the godfather of Middle East terrorism,” founded the terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In 1970, Habash was the mastermind behind the hijacking of four Western airliners known as the Dawson Field hijackings. In 1972, the PFLP collaborated with Japanese Red Army terrorists to massacre 24 people at Israel's Lod International Airport (renamed Ben Gurion International Airport).


On August 11, 2017, Eid posted a photo on Instagram of her with Rasmea Odeh. The post read: “Saw Rasmea Odeh at Palipalooza and am still just emotional at how unfair a world that sees her resistance as terrorism and her torture as normal. She's set to be deported soon and I'm just honored at the chance I had to hug and thank her. Palestinian women are so strong and amazing.”

On April 10, 2017, in response to a tweet that asked: “Who are your favorite revolutionaries?,” Eid tweeted: “Castro, George Habash, Patrice Lumumba, Angela Davis, Leila Khaled.”

On December 1, 2016, Eid tweeted: “My presentation on my hero in Arabic went well :,).” The tweet featured a photo of Leila Khaled, holding an AK-47 assault rifle.

Supporting Terrorists

On September 6, 2021, Eid tweeted in support of the escape of six prisoners from an Israeli prison, writing: “صباح الحرية 🌞[The morning of freedom].”

On September 6, 2021, six Palestinian prisoners escaped from the maximum-security Gilboa Prison in Israel. The escaped prisoners were convicted members of the terror organizations Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, who were jailed for their involvement in attacks carried out during the second intifada. All were recaptured by September 19, 2021, by Israeli authorities.

On April 27, 2017, Eid signed a “Letter of Support for Palestinian Hunger Strikers from Lawyers, Legal Workers, Law Students and Legal Organizations.”

The letter’s signers asserted: “we express our support for the hunger strikers’ demands, and urge their implementation,” including those of “Marwan Barghouthi, a prominent Palestinian political leader and spokesperson of hunger-striking prisoners affiliated with the Palestinian political faction, Fateh.”

Terrorist Marwan Barghouti was sentenced to five consecutive life terms for some of his crimes, including his role in the Sbarro Cafe bombing. In 2017, he initiated the hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners known as the “Dignity Strike.” He headed the Palestinian Authority (PA) terrorist Tanzim force and founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which carried out many terror attacks against Israeli civilians.

Hatred of Israel

On September 9, 2021, Eid tweeted an image of a dumpster that showed a Star of David and Arabic text that read: “Garbage.” Eid wrote: “نيو إسرائيلي فلاج ديزاين جست درابد [The new Israeli flag design just dried].”

On August 4, 2021, Rawan tweeted: “F*ck Israel, f*ck landlords, f*ck civility, f*ck the police,” quoting anti-Israel activist Steven Salaita.

On June 11, 2021, Eid featured in a podcast titled: “Decolonize Palestine and #SaveSheikhJarrah with Rawan Eid and Fathi Nemer,” where she claimed [00:43:04]: “The Nakba was a genocide that needs to be accounted for and how the Nakba went on even after 1948…”

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.


On May 11, 2021, during Israel’s Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW) against Hamas, Eid tweeted: “I wonder what Zionists would’ve been forced to say instead if Hamas didn’t start existing decades after they created hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees, a good portion of which they shoved into an open air prison (most Palestinians in Gaza are refugees!)”

In May 2021, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists fired over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at major population centers in Israel. Israel responded by launching OGW, carrying out targeted military strikes in Gaza.

On October 30, 2017,via PJD, Eid promoted on Twitter an anti-Israel demonstration scheduled for the following week to protest “the deadly exchange between US-Israel that shares racist policing and occupation policies, technologies, and strategies.”

PJD co-hosted the demonstration, in conjunction with the anti-Israel organizations Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and SJP.

In 2017, JVP launched the “Deadly Exchange” campaign that accused American Jewish organizations of promoting human rights abuses. JVP also released a video that blamed [00:04:04] Jewish organizations for violence that occurs against Black and Brown communities, immigrants and activists in the U.S.

On March 25, 2017, Eid tweeted: “We were assigned Jordan for culture fair and it was cuteness and the Israel booth got mad I crossed out their name on the map so good day.”

On January 22, 2015, Masri tweeted: “Fake a** politically derived ‘nationalism’, war-mongering genocide-inflicting colonialist scum, I'll die before I regard Israel as a country.”

Hatred of Zionism

On May 14, 2021, during OGW, Eid tweeted in opposition to a tweet that said: “so is a 2-state solution better? 

Eid wrote: “No, Zionism which pushes Israeli Jews to hate and dehumanize Palestinians needs to end.” 

On March 15, 2017, Eid tweeted: “‘Jews won't be safe anywhere but here’. Zionism is an awful racist fantasy that feeds off the very real horrors of antisemitism.”

On March 23, 2015, Eid tweeted: “‘How do you define Zionism?’ An ethnocentric ideology justifying colonialism and genocide.”

Solidarity with Yasmeen Mashayekh

In November 2021, Eid expressed solidarity on Twitter for Yasmeen Mashayekh who was [00:11:08] in the middle of a national controversy over anti-Semitism she spread on social media that year.

In October 2021, Mashayekh was listed as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Senator for USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering (Viterbi). In May 2021, she tweeted: “I want to f**king kill every motherf**king Zionist.” She also tweeted: “yel3an el yahood [curse the Jews]😌.” 

Mashayekh has also spread violent hatred of Israeli Jews, called for the destruction of Israel and America, expressed support for Hamas and glorified terrorists.

Mashayekh was condemned after Canary Mission exposed her anti-Semitic tweets.

On November 25, 2021, Eid retweeted a tweet that said: “If you consider yourself an ally to the Palestinian cause, I urge you to stand in solidarity with Yasmeen Mashayek, who is a student at@USCViterbi being targeted by a Zionist-led harassment campaign. Make a tweet tagging@USCViterbi and let them know you support Yasmeen.”

SJP Activism

On November 19, 2018, Eid appeared in a Twitter group photo taken during the 2018 National SJP Conference. 

The 2018 National SJP conference was held on November 16-18, 2018 at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The conference was themed: “Radical Hope: Resistance in the Face of Adversity.” The conference website stated: “[t]he reason we can have hope is that Zionism...can be destroyed.”

On November 17, 2018, Eid posted photos to Instagram taken at the conference, including a photo of the program. She wrote: “I really wanted to share pictures and things from the current Students for Justice in Palestine convention.”

On January 15, 2018, Eid wrote on a gofundme.com page for a fundraiser she organized: “I am also the the co leader for both the YDSA chapter and the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at the University of Southern California.” 

On November 1, 2017, Eid appeared in multiple Facebook photos from the 2017 NSJP conference at the University of Houston (UH). 

On June 26, 2017, Eid tweeted that she was the president of USC SJP. 

On March 21, 2017, Eid tweeted: “We have got up our mock apartheid wall and I'm sad the rest was too heavy but happy Bc on campus Zionists are still mad so I'm content.” The mock wall was meant to demonize Israel’s security barrier and one of the panels featured an image of Leila Khaled.

Mock “apartheid” walls have been constructed by SJP groups on campuses to draw attention to alleged Israeli human rights violations against Palestinians. 

Israel’s security barrier, 97 percent of which is a low chain-link barrier, was built as a deterrent to Palestinian terror attacks. The concrete portions of the fence were built in response to Palestinian sniper attacks.


On the same day, Eid tweeted: “Panels from this ridiculously large mock apartheid wall.” One panel claimed that “Israel has legalized torture.” Another panel accused Israeli democracy of being an “incarnation of Apartheid South Africa's democracy.”

Anti-Israel Activism

Eid co-created the anti-Israel website Decolonize Palestine with her husband and fellow activist Fathi Nemer

On May 11, 2021, Eid wrote on Facebook: “Our project has finally launched!!” She included a link to the first Decolonize Palestine post on Instagram.  

Decolonize Palestine has called for the dismantlement of Israel, writing: “... Israeli colonialism and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is an objective fact. Maintaining a neutral position on this war crime is not only immoral, but enables Israel to commit further heinous acts in the future. Therefore, we take a very clear position: For the liberation of Palestine.”

Supporting BDS

On May 17, 2021, Eid shared to Twitter an article titled: “Introduction to Palestine :6: BDS 101” from Decolonize Palestine. 

On January 15, 2018, Eid organized a Facebook gofundme.com campaign seeking financial support for herself and Nemer “to travel in from Palestine where we are both currently studying in order to help lead a workshop on putting BDS into action, particularly on our college campuses that can make a huge impact…”

According to Eid, Nemer was “currently on the BDS committee at Birzeit University in Ramallah.”

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 Students 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.
