The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.
On January 26, 2022, Ahmed participated in PSA’s “First general body meeting” which featured a “virtural Teach In” by anti-Israel activist Hamzah Raza, titled: “Legacies of Apartheid: From South Africa to Palestine.”
