Tala Abd Alrahman

On November 15, 2023, Abd Alrahman posted [slide 8] on Instagram: “...The claim made about the 40 beheaded babies was quickly overturned & announced to be a lie…If Hamas had raped women, there would be proof or at least testimonies…If anything, Hamas has shown [sic] to treat israelis with kindness…”

Hamas terrorists murdered Israeli Jewish babies during its October 7, 2023, terror attacks. Some of the babies were beheaded and some were murdered in front of their parents.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas raped women next to the bodies of dead friends. Some were raped and then shot in the head. Others, including young girls, were raped and murdered or mutilated in other ways. Men were also raped.

Israeli officials opened an unprecedented investigation into the widespread sexual assault. Forensic analysis of corpses showed evidence of torture and rape. Hamas terrorists said they were given explicit orders to carry out the atrocities, including chopping off legs and raping the corpses of murdered victims.

A terrorist detained by Israel admitted he raped an Israeli woman when he broke into a kibbutz house during the October 7, 2023 attack. In March 2024, a former hostage of Hamas publicly stated she was sexually abused and tortured while in captivity.

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.

Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ accounts for families to see. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.” As of November 10, 2023, approximately 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, were murdered during the attacks. Hamas kidnapped 242 Israelis, including at least 30 children. At least 3,500 people were wounded, many severely.

On October 20, 2023, Abd Alrahman posted [slide 1] on Instagram: “I do not condemn Hamas [for October 7, 2023]…a lot [of rhetoric] over the past 2 weeks is based on the emphasis that ‘Hamas did this and Hamas did that’…What about the last 75 years?…who are you going to blame for those atrocities? this genocide did not start 2 weeks ago…Hamas is simply a resistance group…”

The modern State of Israel was founded 75 years earlier, in 1948.

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.

Abd Alrahman continued [slide 2]: “I would be lying if I condemned them or said they’re a bunch of of terrorists….You do not get to dictate how palestinans [sic] resist…”

Abd Alrahman then said [slide 3]: “...you do not get to blame everything on the Hamas attack…without considering your actions…if you're violent with me and I'm aggressive back, it's self defense…Hamas…is a resistance group created for self defense, refusing to condemn Hamas does not mean I support murder, but supporting the zionist state of Israel DOES mean you are in favor of genocide & ethnic cleansing. the terrorists in this equation are Israelis…”

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. Zionism is a core part of the identity of most Jews.

Abd Alrahman concluded [slide 4] her post: “…ever thought that maybe the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] is a terrorist group?...the world isn't helping Palestine so Palestinians are doing whatever they can to help themselves. if you ask me to condemn Hamas, you’re asking me to condemn Palestinian resistance. I refuse to do that.”

On November 15, 2023, Abd Alrahman shared a series of “zionist talking points,” as well as her summary of rebuttals to them. The post was based on the discussion held at a meeting she attended.

One “talking point” [slide 3] Abd Alrahman listed was: “Israel…has the right to exist.” Her rebuttal said: “Israel's existence is solely based on war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid, and mass murder...They are colonial settlers who use violence and aggression to threaten civilians into oppression…So, no, Israel does not have the legal or ethical right to exist.”

Abd Alrahman also listed [slide 7] as another talking point: “There should be peace for both sides.” She responded: “...this statement is cowardly…How can you expect us to make peace with our oppressors? There has never been peace in colonialism…Palestinian resistance is justified because it is a reaction to Israel's aggression. Being neutral in the face of genocide is being complicit…

Abd Alrahman’s rebuttal of the same talking point continued: “...if you chant for peace on both sides, you are a hypocrite, because whatever it is you once fought for: racism, poverty, feminism, gay rights, or any other type of equality; if you are silent when there is a literal genocide happening then you are nothing but a coward…being neutral is choosing the side of the oppressor...”

As of August 23, 2022, Abd Alrahman was featured online as a model for the LaMeera Moda clothing line.

As of March 25, 2024, Abd Alrahman’s Facebook page said she was located in Chandler, Arizona.
