Joseph Massad - Columbia's Jew Hating Propagandist
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/joseph-massad-columbias-biggest-bigot
Joseph Massad is a Professor at Columbia University's Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures that blames antisemitism on the Jewish people, compares Jews and the State of Israel to the Nazis and Nazi Germany, and is an ardent supporter of the antisemitic and the terror affiliated Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) Movement.
In 2018 Massad outlandishly agued in an Electronic Intifada article (an antisemitic blog run by a previously featured 'Antisemite of the Week' Ali Abunimah) that it's antisemitic to refer to Israel as "the Jewish state." Massad has written similar statements in the past; in 2003 he wrote Israel has turned "the Jew into the antisemite, and the Palestinian into the Jew." Massad's "blame the victim" tactics have been used by Jew haters for centuries.
In 2013 Massad stated "the Jewish state is a racist state that does not have the right to exist" and that Zionists were allied with the Nazis. According to the U.S. Department of State's International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism it is in fact deemed antisemitic to refer to the world's only Jewish country as a racist endeavor. In fact, Massad's post originally published in Al Jazeera, received so much backlash that the Qatari state run media media site removed it after massive outrage from both Jews and non Jews.
In 2019 Massad published an editorial titled "Israel and the West"; in the article Massad promoted the BDS movement, stating Israeli values and Western commitments to settler-colonialism and racism were identical. In 2016 Massad signed a petition to rebrand BDS at Columbia to 'Columbia University Apartheid Divest'.
Massad is also hostile to his Jewish students, asking one pupil in 2002 - "How many Palestinians have you killed?". In another incident, a female student named Deena Shanker was forced to leave his class after she argued during a class discussion that Israel provides civilians with advanced warnings before attacks. Massad denied the facts of Shanker's report despite many of her classmates corroborating the story.
Mossad's atrocious behavior led to an investigation following years of complaints alleging antisemitism in 2005; unfortunately the committee responsible for the investigation stated that they did not find "evidence of any statements made by the faculty that could reasonably be construed as antisemitic" yet admitted to the lack of grievance procedures available for addressing student concerns. Many have questioned the makeup of the committee, pointing out that several members have expressed antisemitic views of their own including Farah Griffin, Jean Howard, and Lisa Anderson.
Today Joseph Massad still uses his teaching position to espouse the same antisemitism as he has done for the past 20 years. Recently one of his current students submitted to StopAntisemitism a sample lesson plan from Massad's 'Palestine and Israel' class. In it Massad again compares Zionists (a.k.a Jews) to Nazis. Given that these analogies were part of the Soviet Union's strategy to vilify its Jewish subjects, IHRA has rightly classified them—and other Massad-esque rhetoric—as nothing more than antisemitism.

Agnés Callamard - Amnesty International's Sham https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/agns-callamard-amnesty-internationals-sham
Agnés Callamard is the Secretary-General of Amnesty International, a British-based NGO that claims to campaign for human rights for all. Under Callamard's leadership, Amnesty's mission has morphed into a witch-hunt against the world's sole Jewish nation, the State of Israel.
When confronted with the fact that the organization not only ignores but also promotes antisemitism, it outrageously stated "we can't campaign on everything" despite the fact that they found time to issue a 100-page report on Islamophobia.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/f66193e1-e9e1-4357-8f52-1e176713c39b/Amnesty+antisemitism.png?format=1000w)
Callamard's atrocious obsession with demonizing the Jewish state extends to spreading lies about Israel such as alleging it was involved in the death of PLO leader, Yasser Arafat.
She falsely claimed that former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres admitted that Arafat was assassinated by Israel. When her falsehood was publicly exposed, Callamard refused to retract it from her Twitter account, where it still remains.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/2ad57630-9f42-4bc0-8e8e-f1309bf96305/Arafat.jpeg?format=1500w)
In 2018, when Hamas encouraged its people to violently tear down the border between Israel and Gaza and violently "implement the right of return and to conquer Jerusalem" Callamard defended the attempts to eliminate the Jewish state as "a legitimate exercise of the rights of freedom of expression." She also condemned Israel's undeniable right to protect its soldiers, borders, and citizens.
Despite videos and photos showing terrorists throwing rocks, planting explosives at the border, shooting at Israeli troops, and calling for the killing of Jews, Callamard
absurdly claimed the protests were peaceful stating "There is no available evidence to suggest that the lives of heavily armed security forces were threatened."
Callamard is also known to be closely affiliated with terror-linked individuals. Pictured below she's sitting next to the heads of three PLFP linked NGOs - Sahar Francis head of Addameer, Ubai Aboudi of Bisan Research, and Shawan Jabarin of Al-Haq.
Francis falsely accused Israel in the global press of harvesting organs of Palestinians. Aboudi was convicted of recruiting terrorists in 2020 and planning a terror attack in 2005. Jabarin has been arrested multiple times and convicted of terrorism.(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/e356807c-882a-4b9c-a5e2-3743d8e8fdb3/PLFP+Table.JPG?format=1500w)
Last week Amnesty released an anonymously authored 200-page report falsely labeling Israel as an apartheid state.
The report was immediately rebuked by many influential Israeli-Arab activists and lawmakers including Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List who represents the party in the Knesset.Amnesty International, once a respected human rights organization, is shamefully being used by antisemites like Agnés Callamard as a vehicle to promote their hateful bias and delegitimize the Middle East's sole democracy - Israel.

Thuraya Zeidan - The Educator of Hate ["hate" according to the jews, who HATE the truth]
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/thuraya-zeidan-the-educator-of-hate
Thuraya Zeidan is a high school English teacher, adjunct professor, and social justice educator in the Montclair, NJ area. Her social media account "Decolonize the Classroom" https://www.instagram.com/decolonize_the_classroom/ reveals her mission to indoctrinate youth with antisemitic bias by diminishing the identity and history of the Jewish people and spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Zeidan is on a mission to deliberately strip Jews of their identity. Although there are millions of brown and black Jews, she repeatedly identifies Jews as "white" and accuses them of "white supremacy". Ironically, she refers to herself as an "anti-racist" and a "multicultural educator" who covers every minority in the United States during her talks but completely excludes the Jewish people.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/0a7b19d1-d5a3-4209-b066-05e76092df91/white.jpg?format=1500w)
Zeidan also attempts to dehumanize Jews using classic antisemitic tropes by portraying Zionists as having overwhelming global powers while lacking empathy for others.
During her podcast "What Radicalized You?" https://anchor.fm/whatradicalizedyou/episodes/I-Reached-a-Realization-Years-Ago-That-This-is-Not-a-System-that-Can-Be-Reformed--with-Thuraya-Zeidan-e1dgj4o she stated, "whiteness and power were all parts of the occupation of Palestine." In addition, in one of her Instagram posts, she absurdly eluded to the fact that Jews do not have empathy and others should not expect the Jewish people "to act in a civilized manner".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/6283be30-19fe-4727-b999-8e3e1ae141ca/empathy.jpeg?format=1500w)
Thuraya Zeidan also joins efforts with other notorious antisemites such as Cornell West. During a 2021 podcast titled "K12 Educators and Palestine," they outrageously accused the Anti-Defamation League of being embedded in American school districts across the country in order to "conduct surveillance for the apartheid state of Israel." She further accused the advocacy organization of weaponizing antisemitism to protect Israel from criticism and bullying teachers to take a stance of neutrality which she equated to "complicity".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/0964fca2-697f-4998-83b8-c78351f17b61/West.jpg?format=1500w)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_gdH_Le9uo
Thuraya Zeidan's goal is to indoctrinate students against the Jewish people and nation.
Such vile targeting campaigns must be kept away from impressionable young minds.
Jews hate the Truth ?
I seek the Truth - and Hate the Jews.
Though it gets complicated because my family is part Jewish.
I hate the Criminal Jews.

Jimmy Anthony Rothschild: The Self Loathing Activist
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/jimmy-anthony-rothschild
Jimmy Rothschild is a Chicago-based anti-Israel organizer with the useful idiots self-hating Jewish fringe group 'IfNotNow'. He tokenizes his Judaism to defend antisemites, vilifies both the Jewish nation and those who support her, and backs violent protestors and agitators.
In 2018, Washington D.C. councilman Trayon White Sr. caused outrage by claiming that the Rothschilds were behind climate change in poor neighborhoods. Nearly everyone was disgusted by White's antisemitic comment, except for Jimmy who stepped up in defense of the councilman.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/45597060-07ef-4db7-a8be-af592fd02f8a/Weather+Guy+alone.jpg?format=1500w)
In 2021, when pediatric radiologist Fidaa Wishah was fired over antisemitic tweets accusing Jews of being cannibals, Jimmy took to Twitter to defend Wishah and attempted to paint her as a victim of a smear campaign.
Just a few months later, after StopAntisemitism exposed University of Southern California engineering student Yasmeen Mashayekh's desire to "kill Zionists" and "curse the Jews", Jimmy outlandishly tweeted "I don't think Yasmeen's tweets were antisemitic" and attempted to portray her as the victim.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/00407b62-649b-45f6-8bf5-25c04af953e7/Screen+Shot+2022-02-26+at+11.43.07+AM.png?format=1500w)
Jimmy also atrociously attacks those who support the Jewish nation, accusing American Jews and organizations of dual loyalties. For example, in 2019 he accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of convincing "the U.S. government to be more loyal to Israel." Similar accusations of dual loyalties were also made by antisemitic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, our 2020 'Antisemite of the Year'.
Just a few days later, Jimmy blamed the rise of antisemitism on American Jews, tweeting "Maybe the rise of antisemitism could be abated if the Jews in power in this country stopped acting like a white supremacist's fantasy of what Jews are like."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/6263afd8-c8c2-4f84-811a-94cc35edfadb/blaming+Jews+for+antisemitsim.jpeg?format=1000w)
Earlier this year, human rights group Amnesty International published a skewed report falsely accusing the Jewish nation of being an apartheid state. In response, counties such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, and Austria made official statements disagreeing with the report's conclusions. Jimmy, on the other hand, used the false report to promote hatred against Israel accusing American progressive rabbis of "denying apartheid".
Jewish individuals like Jimmy Rothschild utilize their Jewish identity to inflame hatred against their own people. Jimmy, like many of his fellow self-loathing Jews, does nothing to actually advance peace between Palestinians and Israelis but rather only promotes more hatred towards the Jewish people.

Ryan Wentz - The Unhinged Bigot
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/ryan-wentz-the-pinkwashing-bigot
Ryan Wentz is a radical activist based in L.A. with the fringe group 'Code Pink', who are known to have ties with terrorist organizations such as Hamas. Wentz has defended terrorists, whitewashed antisemitism, and has called for the destruction of the Jewish nation.
Examples of Wentz's support of Hamas include the following tweets from 2020:
- "Blaming the conditions in Gaza on Hamas—and not on Israel & the US—is genocidal."
- "Reminder that every single rocket that Hamas fires into Israel is legitimate resistance under international law."
- A photo of Hamas soldiers and flags labeled "the show villain" next to a photo of the Israeli flag labeled "the real villain."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/34d3ee73-f52c-41fd-b96b-4d9ab0436be1/Hamas+Good+Israel+Bad.png?format=2500w)
Wentz not only supports terror groups but also individual terrorists such as convicted plane highjacker and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP) member Leila Khaled. In 2020, he tweeted "We live in a world where the Israeli apartheid state is celebrated as a 'democracy' and Leila Khaled is smeared as a 'terrorist." Khaled hijacked a TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970 and was jailed for her role in the terror plots.
Wentz has also denied incidents of bias against Jews. In 2018, when Jewish women were kicked out of the Chicago "Dyke March" and Israeli pride flags banned, Wentz attempted to sweep the event under the rug and outrageously criticized the media for reporting on it.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/8f2c2b03-cdc3-4e5b-8136-efd0d5e4ebed/DykeMarch.png?format=2500w)
Wentz also frequently calls for the removal of the world's only Jewish state tweeting:
- "We absolutely should call Israel's right to exist into question"
- "The only way Palestine will be freed is if the settler colonial apartheid state that's occupying it is destroyed. It's really that simple."
- "Israel is a killing machine. It can't be reformed. It must be crushed."

Ryan Wentz's antisemitism has even caught the attention of the Capitol Hill Police. When he became unhappy with 'Antisemite of the Week' Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's (AOC) failure to bash Israel he made several threatening tweets towards her and called his followers to harass her. This of course caught the attention of her staff and law enforcement paid him a visit.
As Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued this week, one would be pressed to find condemnation of Putin's brutality on Ryan Wentz's social media pages. Instead Wentz was busy romanticizing the death of terrorists like Basel al-Araj and re-tweeting propaganda vilifying Israel by known antisemites such British rapper Lowkey.

Ibraheem Samirah with antisemitic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, 2018
Ibraheem Samirah - The Despicable Delegate
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/ibraheem-samirah-the-despicable-delegate
Ibraheem Samirah is a former Virginia State Delegate, a dentist, and the son of a Hamas fundraiser, Jordanian-born Dr. Sabri Ibrahim Samirah.
Samirah has a shocking history of antisemitic statements, including that funding Israel is worse than sending money to the KKK. He is also known for his troubling associations with antisemitic groups such as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/bca97c10-5c01-4712-91a6-c865c3eaf27d/KKK+Post.jpeg?format=2500w)
Samirah is an adherent supporter of the BDS movement. In a 2014 Facebook post, he urged his friends to support the BDS movement while Israel was "most exposed." As a student at American University and then Boston University, he was an active member of SJP and credited the organization with helping convince students that "Israel REALLY sucks."
In a 2017 Facebook post, Samirah pledged sizeable funds to anti-Israel organizations, linking to AMP's talking points page. The page warns that "Zionist Jews" are trying to take over Jerusalem. The Anti-Defamation League traces AMP's roots to Hamas' propaganda and fundraising group called the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). IAP's stated goal, according to internal documents, is to "increase the financial and moral support of Hamas." Furthermore, AMP is the leading sponsor of SJP in America and was founded by Hatem Bazian, a former 'Antisemite of the Week'.
In 2019, Samirah offered a haphazard apology for his antisemitic statements, portraying himself as a victim of a smear campaign.
Fast forward to today, Ibraheem Samirah continues to vilify the Jewish people and nation and spread antisemitism. For example, in a tweet from this month Samirah falsely compared the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the democratic state of Israel, invoking the antisemitic trope of financial and governmental control by Jews.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/1b058289-cb3d-4ab7-ac68-bb81c33d9704/Russia+Israel.jpeg?format=2500w)
In 2021, when the DC chapter of the Sunrise Movement expelled three Jewish groups from an event over their support of the Jewish nation, Samirah tweeted his support for Sunrise DC and promoted an atrocious antisemitic trope of Jewish domination and "Zionist Supremacy" frequently expressed by vile antisemites such as David Duke.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/119d8643-25b6-439e-a6c4-eba11b5c8b66/Screen+Shot+2022-03-16+at+12.09.41+PM.png?format=1500w)
Also in 2021, Samirah outrageously claimed that the Jewish nation was behind all of the "oil wars", including the Iran-Iraq war of 1981-1988, and the "burning" of our planet.
Despite attempting to withdraw his college-era antisemitism and apologize, Samirah continues to deflect, claiming that charging him with antisemitism is "Islamophobic".

Steven Salaita - The [Wrongfully] Canned [by the jews] Professor
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/steven-salaita-the-canned-professor
Steven Salaita is a disgraced Professor from Washington D.C. who lost two teaching positions at different Universities after his atrocious antisemitic social media posts were exposed.
In 2014, Salaita became the focus of a national controversy after the University of Illinois at Urbana rescinded an offer of a tenured position of professor of American Indian Studies following the revelation of Salaita's tweets regarding the kidnapping and murder of three Jewish teenagers. Salaita's tweet read "You may be too refined to say it, but I'm not: I wish all the f**king West Bank settlers would go missing." Salaita claimed his statement wasn't antisemitic but his words clearly incite violence against Jews.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/e607188e-7d54-41a1-b043-7e45626af116/Screen+Shot+2022-03-24+at+5.32.31+PM.png?format=1500w)
In 2015, Salaita was hired as the Chair of American Studies at the American University of Beirut. After just one year he was dismissed from the position as news about his controversy from the University of Illinois at Urbana surfaced. Salaita later complained on social media that he was forced to become a bus driver to make ends meet.
Losing two teaching positions didn't deter Salaita from continuing his demonization of the Jewish state, backing the antisemitic Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and supporting known terrorists.
In 2018, he alleged that pro-Palestinian speech is being censored and went on an antisemitic tantrum on Twitter:

Salaita also outrageously compared himself to convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh who was involved in a terror bombing that resulted in the death of two young Jewish students. Fanning over the cold-blooded murderer, Salaita claimed that like Odeh, he's being prosecuted and tweeted a photo of himself with Odeh stating "I was lucky enough to meet a true hero tonight..."

Despite Salaita's track record of making harmful, dangerous, and antisemitic statements, earlier this week Virginia Tech Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) invited him to take part in its Research Symposium and Exposition. Calls from students, faculty, and advocacy groups to rescind the invitation didn't suffice. The university provided Salaita a stage to spew his hatred and allegedly paid him a $12,000 speaking fee while refusing to issue a public statement about the highly disputed incident.
This is not the first time that the student senate has acted against the interest of pro-Israel and Jewish students. Last Semester they passed a BDS measure creating a hostile climate on our campus, especially for Jewish graduate students.
Quote from: yankeedoodle on March 27, 2022, 05:59:40 PM
Salaita's tweet read "You may be too refined to say it, but I'm not: I wish all the f**king West Bank settlers would go missing."
I would say "well just drop a Plutonium Pill on their Jewish heads" - but what about collateral damage.
Which Israeli cities are the most "only Jews" ?I figure Tel Aviv, and Herzliya, and Dimona.
West Bank settlers ... well there are probably a lot of innocent Palestinians living nearby, having their homes stolen by the settler Terrorists.

Tara Alami - Wants All Israelis Dead
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/tara-alami-wants-all-israelis-dead
Tara Alami is a Jordanian-born research trainee at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal and a rabid antisemite. She calls for the death of anyone who lives in Israel and she openly supports terrorists.
When news of a terror attack in B'nai Brak, Israel began to circulate on social media earlier this week, a number of pro-Palestinian media outlets and social media accounts celebrated the attack. Upon news that two of the victims were non-Jewish foreign workers from Ukraine, Alami called for the death of "ALL" Israelis.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/285241b6-22bb-4ecb-b7ab-47c5a02f781b/Death+to+All.jpg?format=2500w)
This was not the first time Alami expressed positive sentiment toward the murdering of Israelis, specifically Jews. Earlier this year, in response to news about two IDF officers killed in a friendly-fire incident, Alami tweeted an image of balloons and party streamers with the caption "OFFICER DOWN!"
The previous year, Alami tweeted (through an account that has since been suspended) "good", in response to a social media post that announced the death of a mentally ill former Israeli soldier who took his own life.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/bf9dd42d-be79-415d-b9a3-2cc39dec515b/Screen+Shot+2022-04-01+at+12.43.46+PM.png?format=2500w)
Also in 2021, when two Jewish college students were assaulted by pro-Palestinian supporters outside a Foot Locker in Brooklyn and called dirty Jews, Alami atrociously commented "nice".
Tara Alami has also praised members of the terror group Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). She glorified George Habash, who is often referred to as the "Godfather of Middle Eastern Terrorism", on Twitter, referring to him as "comrade". Habash founded the PLFP and masterminded the hijackings of four Western airliners which resulted in the death of 24 people.

Alami has also called for the annihilation of the State of Israel, stating on the "Spring Socialist Network" podcast that "It's clear that when we say "Free Free Palestine" we're talking about Palestine from the river to the sea. We're not talking just about the occupied West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. We are talking about all of Palestine and Palestinians from the Zionist regime".
She also tweeted that she didn't care if "you throw a temper tantrum because you interpret 'from the river to the sea' as 'they want Jews to be thrown into the river'".

Joseph Jordan aka 'Eric Striker' - The Ghost Nazi
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/joseph-jordan-aka-eric-striker-the-nazi-conspirator
Joseph Jordan from Queens NY is one of the most prolific members of the white supremacist movement in the United States. Operating under the pseudonym Eric Striker, Jordan has contributed to hundreds of posts on the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer which was founded by 'Antisemite of the Week' Andrew Anglin. Jordan was also a frequent guest on Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard and 'Antisemite of the Week' David Duke's radio show.
While studying at Queens College, Jordan organized with the New York Chapter of the neo-Nazi group 'Golden Dawn'. After graduating, he linked up with notorious neo-Nazi 'Antisemite of the Week' Richard Spencer and later joined the alt-right radical social media site GAB, founded by 'Antisemite of the Week' Andrew Torba. Jordan also participated in the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville where he was caught on video performing Nazi salutes.

In 2020, Jordan co-founded the National Justice Party (NJP), a fringe group of white supremacists that are virulently antisemitic and frequently accuse Jews of America's problems. NJP, which is not registered with Federal Election Committee, has an unofficial party platform through which it advocates for an end to all immigration and for placing restrictions on Jews in the media, government, and other institutions. NJP also opposes the Republican Party, calling it "the party of Zionism." Jordan himself has personally praised our 2019 'Antisemite of the Year' Ilhan Omar.
Using his online persona, Eric Striker, Jordan often posts hateful antisemitic and threatening messages aimed at the Jewish people, such as his desire to drive the Jewish race out of America.

Jordan also frequently blames Jewish people for the existence of LGBTQ people whom he baselessly accuses of pedophilia. In February 2015, he used his now-suspended Twitter account to call another Twitter user "LGBTP" switching the letter "Q" for queer with the letter "P" for pedophile - a slur commonly found on alt-right, antisemitic forums like 4chan.
Also in 2015, Jordan's post in the Daily Stormer titled "Hebreween: Cultural Marxist Ogre Thinks 'Sexy' Costumes for Pre-Pubescent Girls are Great" attempted to falsely link Jews to pedophilia. "We're coming, Jew" he warned at the end of the post.
Jordan outlandishly blames Jews for everything under the sun - from Sports Illustrated swimsuit models not being thin enough for his taste to his belief that heavy metal music became too politicized.
Jordan's outrageous conspiracy theories have now extended to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He recently claimed that Jews created the crisis and that "100% of the anti-Russian lobby in the US is composed of Jews or people who are directly employed by Jews".
Jordan was banned from the traditional social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram), but he continues to lurk [be found] on alternative platforms such as Telegram.

Mohamed Hadid - Broke and Bigoted
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/mohamed-hadid-broke-and-bigoted
Mohamed Hadid is best known for being the father of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. A dual Jordanian-American citizen, the once successful real estate developer has recently gone broke.
Hadid moved into real estate in the 1980s partnering with Saudi Arabian SAAR Foundation owned by multibillionaire sheikh Sulaiman Al-Rajhi, one of Saudi Arabia's leading bankers. Hadid fell from fame and success in the years after the SAAR Foundation was raided by government agents and accused of financing the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
Many have noted that during his current financial downfall, Hadid, who once boasted about his local Jewish-American friends and how great Israel was, has turned into a fanatic Jew hater and frequently spreads antisemitic misinformation and vile antisemitic conspiracy theories to millions that follow him on social media.
In 2019, Mohamed Hadid started comparing the Holocaust to the Israel/Palestinian conflict, falsely claiming Jews were murdering Palestinian children and committing genocide of Palestinians just as the Nazis did to the Jews. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, adopted by countless countries including the United States, deems such comparisons as clearly antisemitic.
During the 2020 George Floyd riots, Hadid took to Instagram to falsely conflate American police brutality to that of the Palestinian struggle, alleging the Jewish nation teaches Americans how to kill Black people through police training programs. Having caused massive outrage amongst Jews and non Jews alike, Hadid deleted the post and issued an apology. Shortly thereafter
During May 2021's war between Israel and Gaza, Hadid continued on his social media rampage against the Jewish nation causing many to start questioning his true intentions - did this man want to help Palestinians or did he instead just want to vilify Jews?
As many started labeling him a dangerous antisemite, Hadid started a misinformation campaign claiming he couldn't be an antisemite because he himself was a "semitic" person. Attempting to twist the narrative, Hadid failed to mention that the word "semitic" refers to languages and not people.
He also omitted the actual word 'antisemite', a word that that evolved from 'Judenhass' or German for Jew hatred, initially formulated by a German Jew hater. Hadid also outrageously claimed Hitler hated "us all" - a total lie as the Grandi Mufti of Jerusalem wanted to collaborate with Hitler (both pictured below) to start ridding the Middle East region of Jews as Europe was doing.
This past week however, Hadid navigated from Israel-bashing to promoting Nazi-like conspiracy theories of Jewish power. In a published exchange with a Jewish female Instagram influencer, Hadid openly states "Israel and the Jews control the media" then references "the banker" as well as not being a "media giant" unlike the Jews in his bigoted mind.

Taher Herzallah - The Hateful Heckler
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/taher-herzallah-the-hateful-heckler
Taher Herzallah is the Director of Outreach for the Hamas-affiliated domestic organization 'American Muslims for Palestine' (AMP). He is a rabid antisemite that endorses violence against Jews, calls for the erasure of the Jewish State, was arrested twice for disrupting Israeli speakers, and often spreads horrific antisemitic conspiracy theories.
AMP was founded by Hatem Bazian, also known as - 'America's Most Antisemitic Professor' - to promote mainstream hatred against the Jewish nation and its people. The ADL has accused AMP of promoting "extreme anti-Israel views and has at times provided a platform for antisemitism under the guise of educating Americans" about Palestinians. AMP is also directly involved in campus-based anti-Israel activity through Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
Herzallah appeared in a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBpdFFs6t0c&t=2515s where he atrociously defended Hamas' terror rockets shot at Israel and outrageously stated "Hamas' rockets are an oppressed people's audible cry for help". In a 2018 social media post Herzallah wrote "The most beautiful site in my eyes" in regards to a photo of bloodied Israeli soldiers.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/2f863eee-5aac-4b97-8d50-6cba8df3d634/soldiers+.jpeg?format=1500w)
Herzallah's preaches for the full dismantling of the State of Israel, stating "...we cannot envision a future for the Palestinian people as long as Zionism exists... the only language that the State of Israel understands is that of resistance", greenlighting violence and terror.
In 2017, Herzallah disrupted a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on David Friedman's nomination to be the United States Ambassador to Israel. He was arrested and charged with unlawful conduct and disrupting the U.S. Congress.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/2b4ca1a8-9f61-475c-a799-0397a9735508/Arrested+.jpg?format=2500w)
Herzallah was also arrested in 2010 after he heckled Ambassador Michael Oren's speech at the University of California Irvine. He was charged by federal prosecutors, found guilty and put on three years' probation.
To add fuel to the fire, Herzallah also spreads false antisemitic conspiracy theories to provoke violence against the Jewish people and nation. In 2017 he penned an article in 'Islamic Horizons' threatening Israel was looking to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque, deemed holy in the Islam religion. Such false libel and propaganda serve as tools to incite riots and violence, often fatal, against the Jewish people. Such riots are occurring right now in Jerusalem as radical Palestinians attempt to ignite the flames of another war during this time period of Ramadan.
Despite his arrest records, violent rhetoric, and calls for the erasure of the Jewish nation (in which half of the world Jewry currently reside), Northeastern University's Students for Justice in Palestine hosted Taher Herzallah for a Ramadan event this past week.

Saadah Masoud - Still Not Arrested
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/saadah-masoud
Saadah Masoud, a wannabe actor and model, is a violent antisemite that has been arrested numerous times for assaulting Jews, armed robbery, and altercations with NYPD. A so-called leader with Nerdeen Kiswani's (a former 'Antisemite of the Week') Jew-hating organization 'Within Our Lifetime' (WOL), Masoud has incited violence against supporters of the Jewish nation and promoted false narratives about the Holocaust.
During a WOL rally on April 20, 2022, Masoud attacked a Jewish man, Matt Greenman, who was walking on crutches while counter protesting. Masoud reportedly chased Greenman down, called him a "terrorist" and "baby killer," threw him to the ground and punched and kicked him in the face and head. Greenman was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with a concussion.
The day after the attack, Saadah Masoud reportedly sent multiple threatening messages to a Jewish Instagram account (see below).
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/9543551f-bc44-4511-9f17-9b831402cb2a/IG+Message.jpeg?format=750w)
In July 2021, Saadah Masoud was reportedly arrested and charged with robbery and assault after he stole an Israeli flag from a rally supporting the Jewish nation in NYC.
During a July 2021 podcast, Masoud admitted to being arrested and incarcerated three times in total. His past charges include theft and assault after he stole an Israeli flag at a pro-Israel rally earlier that month. During the podcast, he made an atrocious statement condoning violence against Jews saying: "There's no talking to them [Jews], there's no fighting with love, fighting with peace. Because at the end of the day, sometimes people learn with a punch in they mouth." He also bragged about how he is different from other activists and how he plans to "destroy that motherfu*ker!"
During the same podcast, Masoud engaged in Holocaust denial putting his fingers in air quotes when mentioning the topic with the host, adding: "We'll get into that whole, y'all not ready for that conversation yet either."
Saadah Masoud has also defended the "Holy Land 5 Foundation," a reference to the five men allegedly associated with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) indicted for funneling funds to Hamas in the guise of humanitarian aid. The men were all convicted and sentenced in 2009 to federal prison terms ranging from 15 to 65 years. Masoud stated - "They are "fu*king soldiers. We should have statues in their honor for what they did. For what they went through."

Chris Hood - The New England Nazi
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/antisemite-of-the-week-chris-hood-the-new-england-nazi
Boston-based Chris Hood leads the white supremacist, neo-Nazi group 'Nationalist Socialist Club' (NSC, also referred to as the '131'). Founded in 2019, NSC's primary focus was Boston but has since expanded to all of New England under Hood's leadership. Its influence now stretches to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Rhode Island.
Hood joined the Northeast USA Proud Boys in 2017 and served as admin for their Facebook group. He then joined the Patriot Front and attended a number of Resist Marxism actions. In 2019 Hood was arrested while in possession of a dangerous weapon for his involvement in hanging racist fliers in East Boston, along with two other Patriot Front members. After getting thrown out of Patriot Front for allegedly stealing money from them to purchase marijuana Hood joined The Base, a dangerous neo-Nazi accelerationist group. Three members of The Base were arrested in Georgia for planning the murder of a couple that they believed to be antifascist activists. Hood left The Base and subsequently founded NSC.

Hood and NSC use the "echo" symbol in their graffiti tags to indicate that all the worlds' corporations are controlled by Jews, or to communicate that their enemies are Jewish. NSC graffiti has also referenced antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, was behind the 9/11 attacks. Another popular NSC phrase, "110 and Never Again" is used by neo-Nazis and white supremacists to persuade the United States to be the next and 110th nation to expel Jews. 'Never Again,' of course, is a phrase connected to preventing another Holocaust.

After visiting the Virginia Holocaust Museum in 2020, Hood and NSC posted images to Telegram of members posing with a Nazi flag and giving Hitler salutes outside the Museum. The photo was captioned: "NSC Virginia visits the holohoax museum", insinuating the genocide was fake.

Just this past April, after organizing fellow members on Telegram during the winter, Hood and NSC distributed fliers throughout various suburbs in Connecticut and staged a rally espousing their bigoted hatred against Jews and other minorities.

Josh Ruebner - Influencing Legislation with Hate
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/josh-ruebner-influencing-legislation-with-hate
Josh Ruebner is an adjunct Lecturer at Georgetown University and the managing director of 'American Muslims in Palestine' (AMP) – an arm of the antisemitic BDS movement with alleged ties to the terror group Hamas. Ruebner often spreads vile antisemitic conspiracy theories, supports terrorism, and promotes hatred towards the Jewish nation.
Ruebner has made several statements deemed antisemitic under the International Holocaust Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. During the "Conference for Palestine in the US: Gaza teaches life" Ruebner claimed that the Jews of the late nineteenth century had no DNA connections to the Jews living in the land of Israel because most of them were "descend from the land of Khazars in modern-day Russia". This so-called "Khazar myth" is championed by many antisemites, including Louis Farrakhan, to deny Jewish ancestry and Jewish connection to the land of Israel.
Ruebner also frequently uses the term "Israel firster" when speaking of American Jews as more loyal to the Jewish state than to the countries they reside in, a claim repeated by Ilhan Omar. He has attacked Congressmen Howard Berman and Ted Deutch as well as Senator Chuck Schumer with this denigration.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/f347e852-b1fb-431b-b30b-d0b0779e192b/Israael+Firster.png?format=2500w)
Ruebner also published an opinion article in The Hill where he described participants of the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference as "thousands of 'Israel-first' citizen lobbyists" attempting to paint hundreds of Jews as disloyal American citizens.
Ruebner has a history of defending the Palestinian terror group Hamas. In May 2021 during Israel's Guardian of the Wall Operation, Ruebner atrociously blamed the escalation of the war on the Jewish nation, stating "Hamas gave Israel warning that you better stop what you're doing or else we're going to fire rockets. And Israel decided, "Well, we don't care. We want an escalation."
During a different interview he defended Hamas' terror regime saying "How can we say to a people who are under a settler-colonial apartheid regime under military occupation, living under a blockade in the Gaza Strip for the last 15 years, that they don't have a right for self-defense? Who is the aggressor and who is the victim here?".
Adding to the list of his many antisemitic traits, Ruebner has also been a staunch promoter of convicted terrorists such as Rasmea Odeh, a key military operative for the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). 1969 Odeh masterminded a PFLP bombing that killed two college students in a Jerusalem market; she also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Shockingly Ruebner tweeted in support of Rasmea Odeh - "Join the #Justice4Rasmea social media campaign Wednesday, January 27!"

As someone who frequently vilifies the state of Israel with false claims of apartheid and ethnic cleansing, in February 2021 Ruebner suggested in a YouTube video during an AMP education seminar that Israel had engaged in seven decades of "ethnic cleansing" and committed multiple massacres to "eliminate" Palestinians since Israel was founded in 1948. He also claimed, "the idea of establishing a Jewish state ... could only be predicated upon ethnic cleansing of Palestinians." In 2018 he referred to Israel as "ethno-nationalist supremacy," a term often espoused by white supremacists.
This past week Ruebner endorsed Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's submission of a House resolution recognizing the Nakba, the arabic word for catastrophe that Palestinians refer to when speaking of Israel's founding. Research showed that Ruebner played a crucial role in writing the resolution; a draft uploaded on Tlaib's website includes several side notes written by Ruebner, which contain comments and suggestions for further readings and additional sources which would make the resolution more effective.

Robert Frank Wilson of the 'Goyim Defense League'
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/robert-frank-wilson-of-the-goyim-defense-league
Robert Frank Wilson is a member of the white supremacist group 'Goyim Defense League' and goes by the alias 'Aryan Bacon'. Wilson has participated in numerous antisemitic stunts and has been previously arrested for assault.
The Goyim Defense League (GDL) is a neo-Nazi inspired network of antisemitic zealots known for confronting unsuspecting members of the public on camera and posting the resulting clips of their publicity stunts on their website, GoyimTV. GDL content often praises Adolf Hitler, glorifies the antisemitic group Waffen SS, and features "White Power" sloganeering.
The word "Goyim" refers to non-Jews in Hebrew and Yiddish. GDL's use of the word is an example of their ignorance of Jewish language and culture and their belief in the "Jewish Supremacy" conspiracy theory – they believe that Jews see all non-Jews as inferior. They also subsequently refer to all non-Jews in a derogatory fashion using the word "Goy" or "Goyim" even referring to a friendly law enforcement officer as a "Good Goy."
This past weekend Wilson and members of the GDL disturbed residents of West Hollywood, CA as they drove around in a graffiti-covered rented U-Haul yelling antisemitic slurs from their loudspeaker, then harassed guests of the Beverly Hills Hilton when they parked said truck in the middle of the hotel's driveway. The vehicle was covered in racist and antisemitic slogans such as "Jewish Lives Matter Most" and "Resisting the Great Replacement = Greatest Threat??".
The "Replacement Theory" is the same white supremacist conspiracy theory demonstrators of the Unite the Right rally in Charlotteville, Virginia were chanting - "Jews will not replae us". Authorities are also investigating the role the Replacement Theory belief as a one of the motivations for the 18-year-old mass shooter in Buffalo, NY who killed 10 people on May 14th.
GDL's leader, Jon Minadeo II, (seen in front in yellow shorts) was dressed-up as an Orthodox Jew with a black hat and sidelocks and was seen running around yelling "The Nazis are coming" with a megaphone; two other GDL members were following him around dressed in faux SS military uniforms. Meanwhile, Wilson can be seen talking behind the trio in a Hawaiian shirt filming the stunt. Several hotel guests called local the Beverly Hills Police Department who upon arrival asked the GDL members to peacefully leave the premises. Shockingly, no citation was issued. Law enforcement is currently looking into this as a hate incident.

This wasn't the first time Wilson participated in an antisemitic stunt. In March of this year Wilson and other GDL members drove around San Diego in a similar rented U-Haul covered in antisemitic and homophobic slogans including "Jews Lie, Europeans Die." Wilson was photographed in the driver's seat. No citations were issued.

In December 2021, Wilson was again present at another antisemitic stunt in San Diego when he and others from GDL dropped a banner over a popular freeway overpass that read "Jewish Supremacy Censors Speech about Jewish Supremacy". This time, Wilson was cited with a misdemeanor by the city of San Diego for violating its municipal hate code but the presiding Judge dropped the charge.

In November 2021 Wilson was charged with a felony hate crime after, according to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office, Wilson blocked his neighbor's driveway, yelled homophobic vitriol at him, then reached into the victim's vehicle and struck him in the face. Wilson later pled not guilty to the charges and is headed to a jury trial this August.

Ali Khamenei - Supreme Jew Hater
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-7/ali-khamenei-supreme-jew-hater
Ali Khamenei is the longstanding Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iran, holding the title since 1989 when his predecessor Ruhollah Khomeini passed. According to a report issued by the U.S. State Department under the Obama Administration, Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. In his position, Khamenei has the power to promote peace, but instead he instigates terrorism and conflicts all around the world, specifically targeting the Jewish people and nation.
On June 8, Khamenei tweeted, "Today, #Zionism is an obvious plague for the world of #Islam. The Zionists have always been a plague, even before establishing the fraudulent Zionist regime. Even then, Zionist capitalists were a plague for the whole world. Now they're a plague, especially for the world of Islam." This message and its phrasing are blatantly antisemitic and reminiscent of Nazi hatred.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/7f2bdf06-c8f7-47ac-aaf4-9ceb43d91557/Screen+Shot+2022-06-10+at+9.28.14+AM.png?format=1500w)
By referring to "Zionists" as "always...a plague, even before establishing the...Zionist regime", Khamenei makes clear that his issue is not with Zionism, or even with Israel, but it is in fact with the very existence of the Jewish people themselves. As Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking antisemitism."
Further proof of Khamenei's antisemitic views is an article published by his representative in the Keyhan newspaper in April, which stated that Hitler was "smarter and more courageous" than current European leaders because he "expelled" Jews from Germany.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/0a0b2a01-0a53-48ac-9001-2882a93ab482/Iran+paper.jpg?format=2500w)
Furthermore, labeling the Jewish people as "Zionist capitalists" perpetuates centuries-old antisemitic tropes and stereotypes that inappropriately characterize Jews as greedy, manipulative, and selfish.
These stereotypes began when Jews in pre-Spanish Inquisition Europe were forced to work as bankers, a profession seen as inappropriate for devout Christians. Since then, it has been used to excuse the mistreatment of Jews and their widespread annihilation, as Khamenei advocates for online.
Khamenei has an history of uncensored vile antisemetic statements and in November 2014 he publicly called for the destruction by of Israel referring to a "final solution," which usually refers to the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people. A 2014 tweet included nine points on "why should and how can Israel be eliminated".

Ismail Quran - Jew Hater Receives Top Cop Award
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/ismail-quran-jew-hater-receives-top-cop-award
Ismail Quran is a Cleveland, Ohio police officer who glorifies Hitler, spreads Jew hatred and antisemitic conspiracy theories, and proudly defends terrorists like Osama Bin Laden.
Shockingly, in November 2021, Quran was honored by the Cleveland Police Department with the 2019 Officer of the Year award; at the same ceremony he received the Distinguished Service Medal.
Quran alarmingly tweeted from his Twitter account @iSH_1988 - "F*ck that Jew" and added a Hitler meme with "LET ME SALUTE TO HITLER THE GREAT - I would have killed all the jews of the world, but i kept some to show the world why i killed them." Quran's tweet was in reply to NBA player Patrick Beverley, who lovingly referred to his teammate, Jewish basketball player Omri Casspi, as his "Israeli brother" in a tweet.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/5869944f-17da-4f87-b516-fd65df9411e2/Screen+Shot+2022-06-17+at+9.24.33+AM.png?format=1500w)
In a ridiculous attempt to defend his vile antisemitism, Quran tweeted that his Hitler post was meant for Zionists, not Jews. According to the United States Holocaust Museum, at the end of WW2 approximately six million Jews, or 2/3rd's of Europe's Jewish population, were murdered by Hitler and his SS Nazi regime.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/22069759-06a8-45da-829b-0c1314ca30c1/Screen+Shot+2022-06-17+at+9.41.05+AM.png?format=1500w)
Quran further continued his antisemitic Twitter tirades throughout the years, posting horrendous hateful content directed at Jews (not Zionists as claimed above) including:
- "bum ass Jew tried to intimidate me. Foh don't try that shit with me." https://archive.ph/bg7CV
- "stop ignoring my fantasy football questions Jew Bag" https://archive.ph/Wm8oR
- "Scumbag Yahoodi [Jew]." https://archive.ph/wJNZv

Quran also spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories including Jews running the world, controlling the government, and America being puppeteered by Israel.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/4a1023bf-5f1f-4802-a7ee-3a6c68778df9/Screen+Shot+2022-06-17+at+10.08.57+AM.png?format=1500w)
Equally shocking as his hatred of the Jewish people is his support for global terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Quran was discovered belonging to a secret Facebook group in 2017 who's goal was to "honor the late Osama Bin Laden."

Anna Rajagopal - The Jew Bashing Convert
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/anna-rajagopal
Anna Rajagopal is a rising senior at Rice University in Texas, a self-described child convert to Judaism, and the newest hire of a Jewish social justice organization, Avodah. She was raised by her parents who are both Rice Professors, Collin Thomas and Asha Rajagopal, who identify as Christian and Hindu, respectively.
Anna is also a rabid antisemite that weaponizes her alleged conversion to Judaism to vilify the Jewish people and nation, endorse violence, and support the terror group Hamas via her increasing social media presence. Not only does she have a platform as the Editor-in-Chief of Rice University's English Department's digital publication, but now she is also astonishingly being paid to potentially spread her vitriol via her new position at Avodah.

HeyAlma by Anna Rajagopal April 7, 2021
Anna often insults the physical appearance of Jews, tweeting in 2021 "sometimes I sit here and wonder why zionists are so physically unattractive. it's very interesting to me how ever zionist is just extremely ugly." The vast majority of Jews globally identify as Zionists and when she was confronted about her tweet she used her Judaism as a shield to protect herself against claims of antisemitism she tweeted "im jewish and hot".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/1f09e080-b852-4cb0-acc2-d21fac3a6b4c/Ugly.png?format=1500w)
In a separate incident she referred to Zionists as "genocidal freaks" and are "ugly, sunburnt, violence outcasts". Her ongoing antisemitic rants recently landed her in a Twitter brawl with acclaimed actor William Shatner.

Anna often maligns the State of Israel, spreading false claims of apartheid and calls for the elimination of the Jewish state. Such claims are deemed antisemitic by the U.S. Department of State's adopted working definition of antisemitism - the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/85c47f4a-4174-4359-99b3-4dabee7608e6/end+of+Israel.png?format=1500w)
Anna also promotes violence against Jews, defending terrorism, and murder, tweeting - "Decolonization by any means necessary and in the most literal sense" when referencing the Israel/Palestinian conflict. In a follow up tweet a few months later she called for IDF soldiers to be punched in the face (referring to them as 'IOF' or "Israeli Occupation Forces," a propaganda tactic used by radicals like our previous 'Antisemite of the Week' Mohammed El-Kurd.

Anna refers to ISIS terrorists who were neutralized by the IDF as "martyrs" and often whitewashes the terror group Hamas, egregiously tweeting in 2021 Hamas condemnation "always has been Zionist strategy to distract." In a separate tweet she calls out anti-Zionist Jews who refuse to support Hamas.

Kareem Tannous - Professor of Hate [Truth]
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/kareem-tannous-professor-of-hate
Kareem Tannous is an Assistant Professor of Business at Cabrini University in the Philadelphia area who spews horrifying antisemitism on Twitter in his spare time.
Tannous spreads conspiracy theories of Jewish control, refers to the Jewish people and nation as Nazis, incites violence, and calls the eradication of Israel – which currently boasts a current population of approximately seven million Jews, who account of nearly 50% of the world's Jewish population.
On April 28th Tannous implied "zio" (a term used to describe Jews by radicals) control the U.S. government with the end goal of supplying money to "Ukraine, NATO, and Israel to arm NAZIs".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/a3a6f3a9-e06d-407c-91a1-36d52e61814b/Zio+Govt+Control+.png?format=1500w)
The following month Tannous again referred the Jewish people and nation to Nazis tweeting - "Today in Zionazi Ukraine, one upping zionazi Israel". According to the (IHRA) International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism - adopted by the U.S. Department of State - defines such comparisons as antisemitic.

Tannous shamefully denies the Jewish right to self-determination and attempts to erase our historical ties to the Jewish state, tweeting such vile statements such as "Israel has zero right to exist" and "take your antisemitic bs back to Europe," a common antisemitic trope used by white supremacists and other radicals to distort Jews' ethnicities.

Kareem Tannous is a fervent supporter of the antisemitic Boycott Divest Sanctions (BDS) movement and often calls for a "Free Palestine" by "any means necessary" a phrase often used to incite and green-light violence against Jews.

Kendra Lara Hicks - Boston's "Sorry Not Sorry" Councilor
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/kendra-lara-hicks-bostons-sorry-not-sorry-councilor
Kendra Lara Hicks is a City Councilor for Boston's District 6 (Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Mission Hill) and proudly identifies as a Democratic Socialist, following the footsteps of AOC and Rashida Tlaib. She drew massive outrage last month after tweeting an antisemitic trope claiming Jews control the U.S. government. On June 23rd, in response to an appellate court ruling that upheld an Arkansas law requiring state contractors to pledge not to boycott Israel, Lara tweeted "ya'll are letting the Zionists SHAKE YOU DOWN."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/e754a5b4-73ca-41a4-956b-27f694bc208d/Kendra+Lara+Tweet.jpeg?format=2500w)
The notion that Jews yield disproportionate influence over the media, courts, government, and other public spheres is a longstanding antisemitic stereotype and is deemed antisemitic by the U.S. Department of State adopted IHRA working definition of antisemitism. It is also often used by white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Holocaust deniers. After being contacted by numerous progressive Jews complaining of her tweet, she acknowledged her harmful phrasing of Jewish control; however, she kept the original tweet up for hours until finally deleting later that evening.
In her initial convoluted explanation, she did not apologize but instead outrageously claimed "conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism will ultimately prevent us from being in true solidarity with both Jewish people and Palestinians." Kandra Lara fails to realize the true definition of Zionism – the right for Jews to live freely and autonomously in their own state – or that the vast majority of Jews are ardent Zionists.
In another Twitter post that same day, she added - "I was raised by two Jewish mentors who taught me to be anti-Zionist and Pro-Palestine at a very young age (15/16) so the idea that anti-Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic is incredibly reductionist to me so I didn't even consider how my word choice could inadvertently be reinforcing." Once again, the IHRA definition of antisemitism defines comments like Lara's as inherently antisemitic - Jews have a right to their own self determination and are not at fault for antisemitism.

This by no means was the first time Lara posted in a derogatory way referencing Zionists (aka Jews). In a June 2021 tweet she stated "oh the blue check Zionists have found me. *mutes tweet*.

Prior to being elected to her current position in Boston, Kendra Lara served as the "Director of Radical Philanthropy" at the RESIST, a foundation that has previously granted funds to the Black Panther Party and BLM.

Under Kendra's leadership, funds were donated to antisemitic and dangerous organizations like Within our Lifetime (WOL).
Members of WOL - Saadah Masoud and Waseem Awawdeh - both have frightening pasts of physically assaulting Jews and have each been charged with hate crimes and assault charges in separate incidents. Furthermore, WOL's founder - Nerdeen Kiswani - was named our 2020 'Antisemite of the Year' after threatening to set a black man on fire for wearing an IDF sweatshirt and is currently named in a Department of Education Title VI complaint alleging antisemitism.
Kendra Lara' antisemitism last month was not an isolated incident; this elected governmental official has a history of not only expressing her bias towards Jews but actually financially rewarding those that seek to harm the Jewish people.

Kendra Lara Hicks - Boston's "Sorry Not Sorry" Councilor
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/kendra-lara-hicks-bostons-sorry-not-sorry-councilor
Kendra Lara Hicks is a City Councilor for Boston's District 6 (Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Mission Hill) and proudly identifies as a Democratic Socialist, following the footsteps of AOC and Rashida Tlaib. She drew massive outrage last month after tweeting an antisemitic trope claiming Jews control the U.S. government. On June 23rd, in response to an appellate court ruling that upheld an Arkansas law requiring state contractors to pledge not to boycott Israel, Lara tweeted "ya'll are letting the Zionists SHAKE YOU DOWN."
So she's smart enough to acknowledge the Caste System created by the Jews.
Nuke the Jews - before the Jews Nuke You !
When dealing with a group of people as engaged in Mass Murder as the Jews, there is no "nice way" to put it.
Expelling the Jews 109 times did not prevent 9-11 or America's Terror War.

Neveen Ayesh - Funding the SQUAD https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/1ms2f8m8dal7rcxplszgbiur2y36i2
Neveen Ayesh is the 'Government Relations Coordinator' for the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) chapter in St. Louis, MO.
Established in 2006 by our previous 'Antisemite of the Week' - University of California Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian (who also founded the "Hamas on campus group" Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) - AMP is a national anti-Israel organization that has been embroiled in many controversies related to its history of antisemitism and links to terror organizations and terror-financiers.
Often fundraising for SQUAD Congresswoman Cori Bush, Neveen Ayesh is a rabid antisemite, frequently spreading Jew hatred, including calling for violence against Jews and promoting terror groups like Hamas.

Shocking examples of Ayesh's Jew hatred include:
- "I tried befriending a Jew once. Worst idea ever."
- "I want to set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes along with every Israeli in it"
- "Jews "WorstThingInTheWorld"
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/eb7b03e1-9160-4245-8a16-1aa427cfacd7/3neveen.jpg?format=2500w)
Ayesh's bigotry and Jew-hatred were so egregious that local Missouri state representatives read from her Canary Mission profile on the state's House floor in 2020. This took place after Ayesh testified about her support for the antisemitic BDS movement while blatantly lying about her true feelings and intent towards the Jewish people and nation; the alarming video can be seen here.
Ayesh has also called for violence against Jews, tweeting alarming comments such as:
- "#crimesworthyoftherope being a Jew"
- "I just want to spit in their faces. All of them any Jew Israeli I come across I hate them all idc [I don't care]."
- "I would love to 7ajer 3al yahood [throw stones at the Jews]. They'd probably shoot me right then & there literally with my luck but idc. I really don't go right ahead."

Neveen Ayesh makes no secret of her support for terror groups like Hamas. During Israel's war with Hamas in 2014, Ayesh tweeted a photo of armed Hamas terrorists and wrote: "I should join al-Qassam. Be the first female to join their group".

In October 2020, Neveen Ayesh hosted a political fundraising event for Congresswoman Bush featuring antisemite Linda Sarsour; together they raised approximately $20,000. The event took place months after Ayesh's hatred was publicly exposed yet Cori Bush had no issues partnering with Ayesh.
This past Saturday evening, despite numerous reports by the press highlighting Neveen's hatred of Jews, Congresswoman Bush once again proceeded with yet ANOTHER fundraiser hosted by Neveen Ayesh.

Cori Bush has been proudly associating with Neveen Ayesh since 2017, despite being fully aware of Ayesh's atrocious antisemitism. On August 2nd, Cori Bush will be squaring off against rival Steve Roberts in Missouri's 1st District Congressional Democratic primary.
Bush, a close friend of Linda Sarsour's, is proud in her hostility toward the state of Israel; in 2021 while giving a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, she suggested that United States aid to Israel should be redirected toward combating homelessness.

Jarrin Jackson - A Jew Hater Wearing a Christian Mask
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/jarrin-jackson-a-jew-hater-wearing-a-christian-mask
Jarrin Jackson is a blatant antisemite and alt-right candidate running for Oklahoma State Senate. Jackson frequently takes to his Telegram channel to spew his antisemitic conspiracy theories and rants masked as a love for Christianity.
In January of this year, Jackson wrote "The answer to Zionism or any other -ism is the gospel of Jesus Christ." Zionism is defined as the Jewish right to self-determination and has nothing to do with Christianity. Jackson also stated he was not "Beholden to Jews," insinuating the Jewish people maintained a type of control over others, specifically those in governmental positions.
Later that same month Jackson continued on his antisemitic rants, posting "all Jews will go to hell if they don't believe the gospel of Jesus Christ" and "I love Jews because Christ told me to, not because they deserve it."
In February Jackson stated in a video https://rumble.com/vtte14-2-1-2022-full-trucker-messaging-war-jews-and-nazis-synagogue-of-satan.html , "I ain't owned by the Jews. I worship Jesus Christ. He's my Messiah." The video's URL address was labeled "jews-nazis-synagogue-of-satan". References to "synagogue-of-satan" are often used by antisemite Louis Farrakkhan and the Nationof Islam when referring to the Jewish people.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/a107b4fc-0e63-41b5-91c9-5d10035d9abd/url+of+website.png?format=2500w)
A few days later Jackson wrote that "the Jews" are the reason "evil exists" and then proceeded to make a list under the heading "outline and detail the evil" in his review of the documentary "Enemies Within: The Church." His list also includes Illuminati, Rothschilds, and Communists.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/8a1b29bf-4cd2-42bd-b5ef-d0fedc2e6e63/Evil.+Jews..jpg?format=2500w)
Next, Jackson pushed the conspiracy theory that one of the Rothschilds "applied for & was granted the patent for COVID-19 testing." Antisemitic conspiracy theorists have falsely claimed the Rothschild family is leading a group of Jewish people in secretly controlling or engineering events for their own benefit.

It's clear from his online presence Jarrin Jackson has a troubling obsession of Jewish "influence" and "control."
On August 23rd Jackson is running in the Republican Party primary against Ally Seifried and is currently polling to win.

Taurean Webb - Theological Distortion Expert
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/w9vdwu7xq3c6l3dj6ux726d3yks9i8
Taurean Webb, a longtime anti-Israel activist, was recently hired by Indiana University as Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Global Change. Webb has promoted vile antisemitism and repeatedly dismissed or minimized concerns regarding the hatred and discrimination Jews face.
Webb is the author of the infamous "Journey Toward Justice" an antisemitic training program which teaches that the creation of Israel was "evil" and a "structural sin" and claims that American Jews have exaggerated the evils of the Holocaust in order to harm African-Americans and Palestinians. Webb goes out of his way to minimize the importance of the Holocaust and attempts to normalize it. He intentionally refers to it as the "European Jewish Holocaust" and just one of many "Holocausts" that have happened in order to erase the enormity of the largest genocide in modern history.
He also falsely frames Israel as a state that was arbitrarily created in Palestine by the United Nations as a response to the Holocaust rather than Jews returning to their ancestral homeland in waves and building communities and institutions there since the 19th century.
Webb claims "It is instructive to consider the European Jewish Holocaust narration as a tactic of racial control ... But Black bodies ... were not valuable enough to merit such attention." He continued stating "Palestinians epitomize that to whom access to these claims [of 'terror' or 'genocide' survivors] is aggressively barred," grotesquely insinuating Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians.
Most frighteningly, Webb, in a now-removed Facebook post from November 2018, praised the "Holy Land Foundation Five" as heroes. He was referring to the five individuals who were convicted in a U.S. court for funneling millions of dollars to the terrorist organization Hamas, which controls Gaza.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/072516b2-1c43-4433-8f74-c83a99d5633e/1.jpeg?format=2500w)
Webb also outlandishly blames Jews for the white supremacist movement, stating "it has long been the case that American Jews have been a critical building block of the US white supremacist infrastructure." He attempts to label Israelis as "white" and Palestinians as "brown," ignoring the reality the majority of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi (of Sephardic descent) and brown. Webb's false and dangerous labeling ignores the fact that most Israeli Jews would be considered people of color by American standards and that all Jews are targeted by Nazis and other white supremacists who believe them to be a non-white group.
During a June 2021 bible study, Webb strongly implied that Palestinians and Arabs cannot promote antisemitic ideas because they are themselves semitic peoples. Intentionally distorting the meaning of antisemitism – a term which has always referred solely to bigotry and hatred against Jews – is hurtful and dangerous to all Jewish people as a whole.

The problem is, Xtianity is a Jewish Scam.
The promise of "Heaven", the belief that "God" actually listens to your prayers - Christians walk around in their heads, having conversations with imaginary people - most of their lives.
So they are technically Insane, but as long as they pay their taxes on time, they are allowed to run around without straitjackets.
And of course they promote the "Israel Holy Land" bullshit.

Nader Hashemi: An Iran Puppet in Denver
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/nader-hashemi-an-iran-puppet-in-denver
Nader Hashemi, Director of the Center for Middle East Studies and Assistant Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies of the University of Denver, has an extensive history of antisemitism that includes falsely demonizing Israel, defending Palestinian violence, and excusing Jew hatred. Most recently, Nader Hashemi stated on a podcast that Israel was to blame for the attempted assassination attempt on Salman Rushdie.
Joseph Korbel (1909-1977) was Czech-American of Jewish descent and his daughter Madeleine Albright served as the U.S. Secretary of State under President Bill Clinton.
In an interview with the New York Post from jail, Rushdie's 24-year-old Lebanese attacker Hadi Matar said Rushdie was "someone who attacked Islam." Rushdie is known as a harsh critic of Islam and was repeatedly stabbed by Matar in the moments before he had been due to deliver an address at the Chautauqua Institution in New York.
Hashemi has a long history of vilifying the world's only Jewish nation - Israel - while defending those that seek to eradicate it. He has previously faced criticism for suggesting that Hamas has become more moderate, stating in 2015 that there had been significant attempts by the leadership of Hamas to strike out and to present a more moderate face with respect to a political resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict." Between 2000-2015, at the time of Hashemi's speech, Hamas was responsible for at least 37 suicide bombings against Israeli civilians, as well as thousands of rocket attacks.
During that same time, Israel saw an upsurge of knife attacks; these stabbing came to be known as the "Knife Intifada." In one of the attacks Hashemi tweeted: "Israeli soldiers kill another Palestinian in Hebron" and linked to an article about a Palestinian who attempted to stab Israeli soldiers during a riot. The month prior, Hashemi tweeted an article validating Palestinian violence surging in Israel, while urging that the campaign of violence be "transformed" into a non-violent, international movement, for tactical reasons. Hashemi's tweet read: "EXCELLENT: The current uprising in Palestine could win — but only with international solidarity."
Hashemi often mocks and attempts to rationalize antisemitism coming from those that vilify Israel. In 2016 he tweeted -"there is another message: we will continue to colonize Palestinian land, if you criticize us we will call u anti-Semitic." Hashemi's tweet was in response to a tweet by anti-Israel propagandist Yousef Munayyer, who also accused Israel of inappropriately threatening elected U.S. officials that were critical of Israeli policy.

In 2005 Hashemi claimed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's demand that Israel "must be wiped off the map" was rooted "not in ancient ethnic hatreds or Muslim anti-Semitism, but primarily in the trauma and enduring legacy of European colonialism and Israel's perceived connection with this legacy." Ahmadinejad — in his speech calling for Israel's erasure — also said: "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury, [while] any [Islamic leader] who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world."
Nader Hashemi is also a supporter of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement having signed and promoted a pro-BDS petition calling for a boycott of Israel and shared links on Twitter endorsing the boycott of Israeli academic institutions.

Dulla Mulla - The Jew Targeting Prankster
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/dulla-mulla-the-jew-targeting-prankster
Dulla Mulla, who's real name is Abdullah Almasmari, is a Yemenite American "comedian" who frequently targets and harasses Jews in the name of pro-Palestinian activism to showcase on his social media platforms.
In 2020, Almasmari drove around various Jewish neighborhoods in Michigan and filmed himself giving the Arabic gesture for "f*ck you" to an Orthodox Man he refers to as "yahoodi" (Jew in Arabic) and then continues to yell "Free Palestine" at the innocent man. According to the IHRA definition of antisemitism, holding Jews halfway around the world responsible or in some way guilty of the Israel/Palestinian conflict is deemed antisemitic.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/2365f1d0-7343-4e5b-8196-ba7683618f5c/giving+the+finger.jpeg?format=2500w)
In 2021, Almasmari posted a video to his Instagram and TikTok accounts featuring him following around Jewish shoppers in a Kosher supermarket in Dearborn, asking them to say "Free Palestine" on video for him. After being asked to leave, he continues to film himself accosting shoppers standing outside, leading to a short exchange in Arabic with a male shopper who told him that there was "no Palestine." Almasmari started swearing at the man in Arabic - "May your mom be cursed... May your d*ck be cursed" and ended the exchange with "f*ck you."
After receiving thousands of responses to his targeted harassment of Jewish shoppers, he replied "DM filled with Jews, antisemitic my ass." A few days later Almasmari uploaded another video to his social media accounts mocking those that accused him of antisemitism and appeared to throw up a Hitler sign while swearing in Arabic.

Almasmari also likes to ridicule Jews and filmed himself dressed as an observant Jew. In a May 2021 Instagram video, he faux mocked a conversation between a Jew and Palestinian, playing both characters himself. During the video he denies the thousand plus years of Jewish connection to Israel and chants in Arabic "Palestine, Palestine, spit on you Israel!"
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/4adb42e5-0231-457e-b424-bfd92aa25b43/Screen+Shot+2022-09-02+at+3.46.31+PM.png?format=1500w)
This past week, Almasmari caused outrage once again after harassing Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. This time, however, he became the butt of his own "jokes" as a Haredi man trolled him back. "What about the war that's going on now between Israel and Palestine?" asked Almasmari.

Joshua Dan Nunes - Marine Turned Madman
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/joshua-dan-nunes-marine-turned-madman
Joshua Dan Nunes of Jacksonville, Florida is a former U.S. Marine and founder of a new neo-Nazi group - NatSoc Florida (NSF). Based in Duval County, Florida, Nunes and NSF have been orchestrating antisemitic events since mid-2022.
This past week on the 21st anniversary of 9/11, Nunes caused nationwide outrage as he and a small handful of NSF members were spotted in Jacksonville standing on the I-95 overpass holding up a vile antisemitic banner blaming the September 11th attacks on Jews and claiming "Communism is Jewish".

In August, Nunes and other members of NSF gathered on a Tampa overpass. They held several banners with white supremacist and antisemitic language that read "End abortion, save white babies," "Communism is Jewish" (with images of a hammer and sickle and a Star of David), and "Problem - Solution" (showing images of a hammer and sickle and a Star of David next to images of the group's logo and a swastika). They also displayed a swastika flag.

In July 2022, Nunes protested outside of Turning Point USA's student conference in Tampa; despite being masked, StopAntisemitism analysts identified him via a tattoo on his right arm (circled in yellow).
Turning Point spokesperson Andrew Kolvet stated, "They have nothing to do with TPUSA, our event, or our students. Our students took the mature route and vacated the space the Nazi flag holders were in. Once that happened, they left."

Also in July, Nunes participated in an antisemitic flyer drop campaign in the Jacksonville area. Multiple neighborhoods reported receiving his neo-Nazi propaganda of Jewish power and control.

In June 2022, Nunes and another NSF member demonstrated outside a Jacksonville local eatery wearing shirts with swastikas and holding antisemitic signs that read "Child groomers work here" and "Judaism allows child rape".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/e7283b82-3b0a-43cc-a142-8832a92eeb65/June+Nunes.png?format=2500w)
According to reports, antisemitic incidents in Florida have risen more than 50% since last year. An overlapping network of white supremacists has emerged throughout the state, with the antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) at its center. GDL's founder - Jon Minadeo II -has been featured frequently by StopAntisemitism.
This network, which often collaborates in planning and executing propaganda distribution campaigns, banner drops, and in-person harassment campaigns, now includes Joshua Dan Nunes.
Nunes, like Minadeo, toes the line between free speech and speech that incites violence against others. With antisemitic assaults increasing across America, we must be extra vigilant in monitoring bigots like Nunes.

Amer Zahr - Jew Hating Jokester
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/amer-zahr-jew-hating-jokester
Michigan-based Amer Zahr is a comedian, former Bernie Sanders surrogate, and rabid antisemite who is best known for replacing Israel with "Palestine" on a world map in Rashida Tlaib's office (pictured below) after she was elected to Congress. Zahr cheerleads for terrorists such as Hamas and Hezbollah and often spreads hatred and misinformation of both the Jewish people and the Jewish nation.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/079d1d4e-ef22-4c1c-9cdc-476ed76b9e90/map.jpeg?format=2500w)
During a 2017 Arab American News-hosted rally in Dearborn, Michigan, Zahr referred to the Jewish nation as a "white supremacy movement from Europe," ultimately denying the Jewish people's 5,000+ year connection to Israel and erasing the millions of Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews that comprise the majority of Jewish people in Israel today. Zahr's attempts to rewrite history and deny Jewish history in order to delegitimize restored Jewish sovereignty, attack Israel's legitimacy, and portrays Jews as foreign to the Land of Israel is blatant antisemitism.
During the same rally, Zahr stated: "we say very proudly, that we stand with every resistance against Israel and every resistance against the occupation ... whether it's called Hamas, whether it's called Hezbollah."
Zahr has also glorified convicted terrorists and murderers such as Rasmea Odeh, who was involved in the brutal murder of two Jewish college students when she placed a bomb in a crowded Jerusalem supermarket.
In a 2021 tweet, Zahr posted: "Who can say they were lucky enough to serenade the amazing Rasmea Odeh? I can!" Odeh was booted out of the United States after being found guilty of immigration fraud for concealing her criminal record and her 10-year prison term.

A month prior, Zahr tweeted: "My two Palestine Valentines. Fatima, Leila... Will you marry me?" Fatima Bernawi was a terrorist with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and was responsible for a 1967 attempted bombing of a crowded Jerusalem movie theater; she was sentenced to life in prison. Leila Khaled was a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and participated in the hijacking of both TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, has advocated for the use of children in terror activities, and compared Zionists to Nazis.

Just last week, Zahr boarded a flight wearing a shirt emblazoned with a photo of Leila Khaled, encouraged others to adorn Palestinian terrorists known for hijacking airplanes when flying, and posted to Instagram stories: "Even in the airport? Yes!"

As antisemitism was skyrocketing in 2021, Zahr outrageously instructed activists to not condemn Jew-hatred or terrorism, tweeting: "This is a message to all the activists and leaders out there that are condemning antisemitism and condemning terrorism right now. Stop it. Stop. You are not helping alright... You are playing their games... It's a distraction." During 2021, antisemitic incidents more than doubled when compared to the year prior.
Amer Zahr is not only an atrocious Jew-hater but also reportedly a serial sexual harasser of women. Last month, fellow Palestinian comedian Jennifer Jajeh accused Zahr of sexual harassment, leading to nearly two dozen women coming forward with their own allegations against him. A sample of Jajeh's accusation is pictured below.

On October 16th, Zahr is scheduled to perform his comedy routine and spread his Jew-hatred at the Hilton Raleigh North Hills.

Kanye - Cancel or Keep? https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/kanye-cancel-or-keep
Kanye West is a billionaire rapper and fashion mogul who was banned from both Instagram (Meta) and Twitter this past week after posting antisemitic content and making threats against the Jewish people. Contrary to what many people think – including those that are defending his behavior as an isolated incident due to his well-known mental health issues and recent divorce – Kanye has a long history of antisemitism.
During a December 2013 interview with 'The Breakfast Club' on Power 105, Kanye used the antisemitic trope that all Jews are rich and well-connected. Kanye stated that former President Obama endured difficulties in office because "Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people" and that "Jewish people" are handed jobs because of these connections rather than having to "work for it." During this same interview, he also stated "we ain't Jewish, we don't got money." According to Forbes, Kanye's net worth currently exceeds $2 Billion USD.
Former TMZ reporter Van Lathan came forward this week to share that Kanye said he "loved Hitler and the Nazis" during a 2018 podcast but TMZ editors were forced to remove that part of the segment. Lathan stated, "I've already heard him say that stuff before."
In July 2020, during his failed Presidential bid, Kanye bizarrely suggested that the Jewish State of Israel pay women in Africa $1 million USD for every child they carry to term, perpetuating antisemitic tropes of Jewish wealth.
Later that year, Kanye contributed $100,000 to antisemitic rapper M-1 (aka Lavonne Alford). Alford often criticized U.S. aid to Israel being used to defend Jews and has praised PLFP terrorist Leila Khaled as a "revolutionary." Khaled participated in the hijacking of two airplanes that resulted in the death of a steward. This was not the first time Kanye would promote an antisemite: in 2021, he featured notorious Jew hater 'Jay Electronica' on his new album. Electronica's prior social media postings include "vile teachings of the Talmud" and claiming Black people were the "true children of Israel."
In a November 2021 interview with 'Drink Champs,' Kanye claimed that Black people were the actual Hebrews, the chosen people of the Bible, and descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel. These types of conspiracy theories and antisemitic rhetoric is often used by antisemites like Louis Farrakhan, someone Kanye has a relationship with dating back years.

2015 Kanye West with Kim Kardashian meeting with antisemite Lois Farrakhan
This past week, Kanye's obsession with the Jewish people culminated with a series of grossly antisemitic rants on social media following his troubling interview on the Tucker Carlson show where the rapper claimed the Abraham Accords were orchestrated by Jared Kushner in order "to make money." In the same interview, Kanye stated he wished his children celebrated Hanukkah instead of Kwanzaa in order to learn "financial engineering" and again perpetuated the antisemitic trope that Black people were the real Jews. Fox removed/edited these parts of the segment out, drawing criticism.
Kanye's recent posts and tweets, which caused him to be locked out of his accounts on both platforms, included the following:
- I'm going death con [Defcon] 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE
- I can't be antisemitic because black people are actually Jew also
- You guys [Jews] have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda

Then this past Wednesday, Kanye West showed no remorse as he doubled down on his recent antisemitic comments, saying he's happy that he crossed the line and claimed he is just calling out Jews for bad business!
With an audience on Twitter totaling 31.4 million - more than double the number of Jews globally - we must ask ourselves if social media companies should take more responsibility to stop antisemitism online. Comments similar to Kanye's have lead to real world violence such as the Jersey City shootings in which two members of an extremist Black Hebrew Israelites sect murdered a police officer and then killed three civilians in a Kosher supermarket.

Jon Minadeo II UPDATE - The White Supremacist Pushing Kanye
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/jon-minadeo-ii-update-goyim-defense-league
StopAntisemitism featured white supremacist Jon Minadeo II in August 2020 after he and his group - the 'Goyim Defense League' (GDL) - dropped a massive antisemitic banner that read "the Jews want a race war" on the busy 405 highway in Los Angeles. After StopAntisemitism's feature of Minadeo and our call to action, GDL's website hosting company, EPIK, and streaming platform, Bitchute, both dropped the hate group for violating community guidelines.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/1910228a-cdf4-4893-87e0-856409ad412b/Jews+Want+a+Race+War+Jon+Minadeo+August+2020.jpeg?format=2500w)
Minadeo however was not deterred; his and the GDL's actions over the past few years have been more brazen and dangerous, encouraging and emboldening more antisemites like himself to join their bigoted movement.
Organizing on GAB (run by neo-Nazi Andrew Torba) and their website GoyimTV.tv, whose hosting was moved to Cloudflare, Minadeo brainwashes hundreds of young men into hating Jews, convincing them that Jewish people control the world and are the main root of society's problems, from the immigration crisis to the abortion debate.
Minadeo and the GDL organize flyer campaigns targeting and harassing Jews across the U.S., covering nearly a third of our country with thousands of flyers vilifying the Jewish people. More than SEVENTY harassment campaigns orchestrated by the GDL have been reported in 2022 alone, with two months left in the year.

Minadeo doesn't stop at leaflet campaigns – he takes an even bolder approach in his own harassment of Jews. In May of this year, just one week after the racially-charged mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, Minadeo dressed up as an Orthodox Jewish man, along with two of his followers dressed as German guards, and harassed guests outside of a Beverly Hills Hilton where a Bar Mitzvah celebration was happening inside. Minadeo ran around yelling "the Nazis are coming" while the guards pretended to chase him. After police were called and they were forced to leave (without a citation), they proceeded to drive around Beverly Hills with the "Great Replacement" theory graffiti on their truck - the same rhetoric the Buffalo shooter espoused in his manifesto.

In an attempt to outdo his past vile stunts, Jon Minadeo II traveled to Auschwitz Concentration Camp memorial and held up various signs containing antisemitic hatred. Thankfully, due to Poland's strong hate laws, he was quickly arrested. His travel companion and fellow GDL member - Robert Frank Wilson (pictured below) - recently stood trial in the San Diego area for aggravated assault.

Just this past week, Minadeo and a few other GDL members took to L.A. once again to hang yet another antisemitic banner on the 405 highway that read "HONK IF YOU KNOW" and "KANYE IS RIGHT ABOUT THE JEWS", referring to the ongoing demise of Kanye West due to his atrocious antisemitic tirades and tantrums.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/98222b0b-d10b-47cd-a179-3a774c3517a7/LA+2022+Banner+Drop+Kanye+was+Right.png?format=2500w)
This past Friday evening, while the Jewish people of Los Angeles were observing Shabbat, Minadeo took to the streets once again to express his bigoted, antisemitic vitriol once again by projecting "Kanye is right about the Jews" onto the underpass of a busy road.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/deaf289a-616a-4261-b7eb-405e74643cca/Jon+Minadeo+II+antisemite.png?format=2500w)
Law enforcement and governmental officials have so far been unable to stop Jon Minadeo II from spreading his venomous hate against the Jewish people and other minorities, dismissing these atrocious acts of harassment as silly stunts.

Kyrie Irving - A Stain on the NBAhttps://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-8/sqh9p2do5yzrpta6vy5xx6urum2atk
Kyrie Irving - an NBA player with the Brooklyn Nets - caused outrage last week with his promotion of the grossly antisemitic documentary "Hebrews to Negroes: Wakeup Black America," based on Ronald Dalton Jr.'s book series of the same name.
Both the book and film push a horrifying agenda of the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) lie that Black Americans are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites and that modern day Jews are imposters who stole the religious heritage of Black people, engaging in cover-ups to prevent Black people from knowing their "true" identity.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/0b90f09b-12ab-48f8-8088-0c892117aba3/HTN.jpeg?format=1000w)
Ronald Dalton Jr.'s film: Hebrews to Negroes: Wakeup Black America
"Hebrews to Negroes: Wakeup Black America" also includes claims of global Jewish conspiracies to oppress and defraud Black people, allegations that Jews are in part responsible for the transatlantic slave trade, and the claim that Jews falsified the history of the Holocaust to "conceal their nature and protect their status and power."
Dalton's narrative amplifies longstanding antisemitic tropes about Jewish power, control, and greed, including false claims that Jews control the media, and disputes the identity of modern Jews claiming they are "religious converts" who descended from the Khazars and have no historical connection to the land of Israel. Dalton uses "experts" like known antisemite Henry Ford to make his claims and falsely attributes quotes to Adolf Hitler throughout the book (an example is pictured below).
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/6c9a5a9b-f3a9-44f4-ac8c-31e050860b66/Hitler+quote.png?format=2500w)
As outrage and pressure mounted, Irving agreed to make a "donation" to the Anti-Defamation League, who ultimately refused the financial gift when the attempt at education failed. Despite this and the ongoing antisemitic vitriol that followed Irving's tweet from his fans and followers, he still refused to apologize.
This wasn't the first time Irving promoted 'Black Hebrew Israelite' antisemitic rhetoric, tweeting in March 2021: "You better stop playing with History. You better stop lying to your people Europe and America. You better stop feeding BS to the innocent children of God. The Original people are returning, and this time God will intervene at every corner of the Earth."
On Thursday November 3rd, the Brooklyn Nets announced that Kyrie Irving would be suspended without pay indefinitely, for a minimum of five games, and until meeting certain requirements. Separately, NBA Commissioner David Silver released a statement demanding an apology from Irving and announced the two will be having a meeting the following week.
FINALLY, after receiving an indefinite suspension without pay, criticism from advocacy groups nationwide, two botched press conferences, and a week of public outcry, Irving issued an apology. However, many critics noted the inauthenticity of the apology, specifically where Irving still managed to spread more 'Black Hebrew Israelite' antisemitic rhetoric by addressing G-d as "YHWH."

Kanye West 2022 Antisemite of the Year https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-9/kanye-west-2022-antisemite-of-the-year
Nearly ten thousand people voted and crowned Kanye West the 2022 "Antisemite of the Year" for his recent and ongoing bigoted remarks about the Jewish people!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbvP7yrrgCU
StopAntisemitism's Executive Director Liora Rez told TMZ "Kanye uses his celebrity platform to push dangerous antisemitic tropes about Jews and power and he refuses to stop. His continuous onslaught of bigoted statements has resulted in horrific antisemitic acts perpetrated by white supremacists, Black Hebrew Israelites, and other fringe groups looking to cause Jews harm. Jew hatred is already out of control in the United States and the last thing we need is a celebrity like Kanye to add fuel to that fire."
Kanye was voted worst of the worst after dominating the headlines since the beginning of October when he received "Antisemite of the Week" honors. While it has since come out that Kanye has had a longtime obsession with Hitler and the Nazis, his current tirade began on social media when he was kicked off Instagram for posting antisemitic tropes about Jewish power and control. Kanye then took to Twitter where he threatened "I'm going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" and was consequently locked out of that account as well.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/8a39b5d6-6226-4e4d-8b0d-1e5971185e48/Death+Con+3.jpeg?format=2500w)
After VICE News aired unseen footage from a FOX News interview with Tucker Carlson showing antisemitic remarks made by Kanye, he doubled down on those comments in interviews with Drink Champs, Chris Cuomo, Piers Morgan, and Lex Fridman. It was only then that Balenciaga, Vogue, CAA, and Adidas all cut ties with the disgraced rapper and fashion designer.
In mid-November, Kanye announced his 2024 presidential run with alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager and took white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes to dinner at Mar-a-Lago with former President Trump.
A week later, Kanye again made headlines after appearing on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' podcast where he stated "They (Nazis) did good things too. We got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time" and "I like Hitler." After tweeting a swastika inside of a Jewish star, he was kicked off Twitter yet again. Finally, Kanye appeared on Gavin Mcinnes' Proud Boys podcast where he reiterated old antisemitic tropes alleging that "Jewish people control the majority of the media, along with banks, along with real estate, along with malls" and stated, "Jewish people, forgive Hitler."
Kanye's impact has exponential reach – he has double the number of social media followers than there are Jews in the world. By purposefully using his vast platform to spread antisemitism, Kanye's recklessness has caused irreversible damage.

Hassan Chokr - Heading to Trial
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-9/hassan-chokr-heading-to-trial
Last month, as parents were dropping their children off at daycare at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, antisemite Hassan Chokr sat in his work van filming the families while screaming antisemitic remarks out of his window that included "F*ck the Jews" and "F*ck Israel."
A temple security guard later testified that he felt threatened when he asked Chokr to leave that day and said he heard Chokr say "you are all going to die."
After Chokr left Temple Beth El he drove to a weapons retailer and attempted to purchase a shotgun, a rifle, and a semi automatic pistol while falsely claiming he had not been previously convicted of a felony. Thankfully, he was turned away by the store owners.
The next day, Chokr was arrested and charged with two felony counts of ethnic intimidation after his home was searched and his social media posts showing intent to purchase a firearm were shared with the authorities. Chokr was also charged with a federal complaint of lying on a federal firearms form when he sought to buy the weapons mentioned above and it was discovered that Chokr was out on bond on an unrelated charge of resisting arrest in a neighboring county.
"Antisemitic and racist threats or ethnic intimidation of any kind will not be tolerated in our community, and every such incident will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Karen McDonald, the Michigan Prosecutor overseeing Chokr's case, said in a statement.
During his initial arraignment on December 6th, Chokr was heard on video calling Judge Nelson-Klein "Jewish b*tch, Zionist b*tch" and then proceeded to stick up his middle finger
.https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1599889950299897857?s=20
In a separate emergency bond hearing a few days later, Chokr appeared through a video feed before Judge Thomas on several assault charges stemming from 2020, as well as resisting a Dearborn police officer. Chokr was on mute when he pulled down his pants and mooned the Judge and courtroom. Judge Thomas cut the feed and revoked his bail in the Wayne County case.
The right to speak freely is not absolute; words that carry what is defined as "true threats," such as Chokr's, are not protected by the law.
Hassan Chokr is currently sitting in a Michigan prison cell on a $1 million bond, facing a ten-year sentence for his vile, antisemitic, verbal attacks on the Jewish community in Michigan. His trial date has not yet been set.

Lara Sheehi - College Campus Diversity Disaster https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/lara-sheehi-college-campus-tormenter
Lara Sheehi is an Associate Professor of Psychology at George Washington University (GW) in Washington D.C. who teaches a mandatory diversity course for the psychology program. Sheehi is a grotesque antisemite that has been recently named in a Department of Education Title VI Complaint alleging antisemitism by the legal arm of StandWithUs. Sheehi, who is Lebanese, is married to fellow antisemite Stephen Sheehi, who is also a problematic Professor at the College of William and Mary.

On the first day of classes last fall, Sheehi asked students to share their names and identities. She went around the room "affirming" each student's introduction, until one student said she was born in Israel. "It's not your fault you were born in Israel," she replied, which stunned the class according to eyewitnesses.
Her outlandish and discriminatory remark set the tone for a contentious semester; Sheehi consistently harassed her Jewish students and then retaliated against them when they raised concerns with GW administration.
According to a Title VI complaint filed earlier this week, Sheehi accused the students of racism, encouraged other classmates to demean and exclude them for their Jewish identity, and took disciplinary measures against them after they confronted her. Not surprisingly, GW administrators - specifically the Department Chair and a GW Dean - did nothing, essentially condoning her discriminatory behavior against Jewish students.
In our recent report 'Antisemitism on U.S. College & University Campuses', GW was rated a 'D' with many Jewish students stating GW administrators do not take their safety seriously and often do not feel comfortable sharing their Jewish identity with others due to the climate on campus. GW also scored poorly due to antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) resolutions passed and the University's failure to include Jews in school-wide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
During the one-semester course, Sheehi subjected Jewish students to antisemitic coursework and lectures, at times suggesting their failure to acquiesce would threaten their future as clinical psychologists. In September, she invited a radical speaker to campus who has falsely claimed that Israel tests its missile systems on Palestinian children.
The event occurred between the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The speaker, Dr. Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, used the occasion to denounce "white Israeli racism," accuse Israel of using global relief work "to camouflage" its "oppressive power," and call for violence against Jewish people. The visiting professor went on to praise a Palestinian teenager who attempted to stab two Israelis to death in 2015.
Jewish students told Sheehi they felt targeted by the talk, questioning why they had been subjected to "a two-hour diatribe against one group—namely, Jews." Sheehi continued to deny and gaslight the students, claiming they made "damaging Islamophobic anti-Palestinian" comments about the guest speaker. Behind closed doors, Sheehi slandered the students to other faculty members, claiming they were racists.
Lara Sheehi also spreads her vile bigotry on social media, tweeting antisemitic statements such as "Destroy Zionism and commit to land back, then we'll take you seriously you f*cking genocidal f*cks. F*ck you," in response to an IDF tweet about Israel sending Lebanon aid after a massive chemical explosion in 2020.

In November, the brave Jewish students who came forward at GW were told faculty had voted to discipline them but were not made aware of their specific offenses. Instead, they were asked to describe what they believed they had done wrong, or else receive a "permanent negative mark" on their academic records.
Sheehi, on the other hand, continues to teach and promote her brand of "liberation psychoanalysis" vilifying the Jewish people and nation.

Dalton Clodfelter - Pushing Kanye on Campus
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/dalton-clodfelter-pushing-kanye-on-campus
Dalton Clodfelter is a neo-Nazi, antisemitic, bigot currently residing in Vero Beach, Florida. Clodfelter comes from a family that supports his antisemitism and he recently married into another family that also shares his views. Clodfelter's parents, Bryan & Kimberly Clodfelter, continue to work within the Asheboro City School district and appear to be outspoken supporters of their son's Neo-Nazi propaganda, never denouncing their son's supremacist agenda or rhetoric. His father-in-law, Sergeant Pedro Vazquez, is a United States Army Recruiter operating out of Duma, Texas and is an open and avid supporter of his racist son-in-law and daughter. In 2019, Clodfelter also enlisted in the United States Army.
Clodfelter is an active white nationalist livestreamer where he can be heard denying the extent of the Holocaust. In a May 2022 livestream, Clodfelter asked "Can we talk about the Holocaust, please? Can we just have a discussion about it and why maybe some of the numbers are inflated? Like just question it."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/84fff264-2241-41e4-9e6f-78b891192d76/Screen+Shot+2023-01-20+at+3.27.13+PM.png?format=2500w)
In another livestream, Clodfelter outrageously declared that he doesn't have "any hate in [his] heart for Nazis" and proclaims that burning "sexually degenerate" books is an example of something "positive that the Nazis brought to the table in Germany in the 30s and 40s."
Clodfelter has partnered with several white nationalists including Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters. In February 2022, Clodfelter appeared as a special guest speaker at Fuentes' 'America First' conference; Fuentes was featured as an 'Antisemite of the Week' by StopAntisemitism in 2019. Fuentes is also known for helping antisemite Kanye West in his 2024 presidential bid; West was named the 2022 'Antisemite of the Year.' Radical right-wing broadcaster Stew Peters gave fascist Dalton Clodfelter a nightly program on his network in 2022, a platform which Clodfelter uses to openly promote white nationalism. Clodfelter operates various antisemitic, bigoted social media accounts where a recent post shows him participating in blackface and slinging homophobic and racial slurs.

On January 18th, Dalton Clodfelter organized an openly antisemitic event at Florida Atlantic University. With the help of fellow white nationalist Tyler Russell, the two were canvassing the University by pushing Kanye West's latest antisemitic agenda. Video footage shows Clodfelter referring to West's words & actions as 'admirable' and he is seen laughing and ridiculing a Jewish student to the point of tears. This is a common theme among his college/university visits.

Several brave FAU students quickly gathered & organized a counter-protest to Clodfelter, Russell, and the other accomplices who were promptly removed from campus. Clodfelter has pledged to return to other universities with the same antisemitic message in the coming weeks. He has titled this mission 'College Campus Invasions' with the hashtag #YeIsRight and claims to be spreading a me

Francesca Albanese - A Stain on the United Nations
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/francesca-albanese
Francesca Albanese is an Italian native, international lawyer, academic scholar, and life-long antisemite. In 2022, Albanese was appointed as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine. In addition, Albanese is an Affiliate Scholar at the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University and a Senior Advisor on Migration & Forced Displacement at the NGO Arab Renaissance for Democracy & Development.
Although her resume is stately, Albanese's accolades are followed by a decade of outrageous antisemitic rhetoric against the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
In October of 2022, Albanese made a special request within her first report to the UN that members should advance 'a plan to end the Israeli settler-colonial occupation and apartheid regime.' Her outrageous remarks violate the working definition of antisemitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA): 'denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination by claiming the existence of the State of Israel is a racist endeavor.'
Albanese has also grotesquely compared the history of the Holocaust to the Nakba. In her one sided analysis, she advocates for the 'destruction' of the world's only Jewish state. She continued her false allegations by comparing Israel to Nazi Germany. Her comments regarding the security concerns Israel faces, she claimed, were fueled by 'greediness' and 'paranoia.' Under IHRA, Albanese is in direct conflict with 'drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.'
Upon Albanese's appointment as Special Rapporteur, controversy ensued due to her past antisemitic remarks regarding the Holocaust and the 'Jewish lobby.' These antisemitic statements of Jewish power and control ignited a bipartisan upheaval in Congress.

This past week, eleven Democratic and Republican Congress members called for Albanese's firing, citing her 'outrageous' antisemitism and her 'obsessive focus on the world's only Jewish state.' The bi-partisan members were quick to make the correlation between Albanese's remarks and IHRA recognition that 'making mendacious allegations about the mythical power of Jews controlling the media, economy, government, or other societal institutions' is slanderous and antisemitic.
Instead of taking responsibility for her Jew-hating rhetoric, Albanese refused to apologize for any of her remarks but instead claims her statements regarding the US being 'subjugated by Jews' were not antisemitic. Albanese doubled down on anyone who challenged her repetition of age-old antisemitic tropes or inciting violence.

Nathan Thrall - The Higher Ed Hypocrite
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/nathan-thrall-the-higher-ed-hypocrite
Nathan Thrall is a Jerusalem-based author and current visiting faculty member at Bard College, poisoning the minds of the upstate New York, liberal arts college with his lies of Israeli apartheid and promotion of the antisemitic Boycott Divest & Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Thrall's new course - 'Apartheid in Israel Palestine' - appears to center around bashing the world's sole Jewish nation while ignoring the Jewish people's right to self-determination, struggles with Palestinian terror, and the refusal to accept the right of Israel to exist. Claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor is deemed antisemitic by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/18b4b550-7273-4dba-a7f9-309824665635/Course+Description.png?format=2500w)
Before taking the teaching semester at Bard, Thrall spent a decade as the Director of the Arab-Israel Project at the International Crisis Group (ICG) covering Israeli and Palestinian affairs. When looking into the funding of ICG, we discover that the NGO raised approximately one million dollars from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundations, a prolific and outspoken funder of the BDS movement across the United States, specifically on college campuses.
BDS is a Palestinian-led movement promoting boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against the State of Israel, often calling for its destruction. Thrall has openly expressed his support for the BDS movement and claims that the sole purpose of pro-Israel groups is to stifle pro-Palestinian speech; in reality, BDS has not sought any reconciliation with the Jewish state, but rather refuses to support negotiations or talks of a two-state solution. Instead of pushing for peace, BDS often campaigns to raise tensions in communities - particularly on college campuses - that result in dangerous harassment of Jews and Israel supporters.
In addition to the Rockefeller Foundation, more than five million dollars came from the Open Society Foundation, which funds dozens of pro-BDS organizations.
On top of these foundations, ICG received four million dollars from the Qatari government in 2018 alone; Qatar is one of the largest state funders of Hamas. In 2008, the former ICG president Robert Malley was fired from Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign after it was made known that he met with the Hamas terror organization. We can all agree it's not the best look for an educator to be funded & backed by antisemitic and pro-terror organizations.
Nathan Thrall's thought process is deeply clouded by an extremist mindset. His influence from the organizations that supported and funded him casts a dark shadow in many of his reviews, journals, and literature. In one of his more famous works, "A Day in the Life of Abed Salama," Thrall paints a picture for the reader through the lens of radical Palestinians, blaming Zionism for its colonialist mindset in 1948. However, Zionism and the longing for Jews to have their homeland reestablished predated 1948. Thrall also fails to mention that any attempt towards peace by the Israelis has been fiercely rejected with the infamous phrase at the Arab League, 'no peace, no negotiations, and no recognition of Israel.'
We know how quickly antisemitic speech turns into violent expressions and interactions. This is why it is imperative that the courses taught on college and university campuses should be unbiased and truthful. We often find that false claims about Israel translates into violent actions against Jewish students. In 2021, Bard student, Ben Mulick, a former 'Antisemite of the Week' https://streaklinks.com/BYW3Q11Y2AxedLePTAP0rhkM/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stopantisemitism.org%2Fantisemite-of-the-week-4%2Fantisemite-of-the-week-ben-mulick-the-bigot-at-bard , threatened gun violence against the Jewish students on campus, ultimately leading to his exiting from the College after outrage ensued.

Brandon Clint Russell - The Holocaust Denying Domestic Terrorist https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/brandon-clint-russell-the-holocaust-denying-domestic-terrorist
QuoteBrandon Clint Russell is a three-time convicted felon, violent, neo-Nazi domestic terrorist who was arrested once again this week after being caught planning to destroy an electric grid in Baltimore, Maryland. Russell is a former student at the University of South Florida where he studied nuclear physics; at the time of his first arrest, he was serving in the Florida Army National Guard.
In 2015, at just eighteen-years-old, Russell first appeared on the influential fascist website "Iron March." The forum, which was shut down in 2017, was a popular webpage for white nationalists who were able to freely express their terrorizing plans to wage war against minorities, specifically the Jewish people. Russell used Iron March to advertise his neo-Nazi regime which he was creating after an intensive three years of research: the dangerous Atomwaffen Division (AWD). He was specifically seeking radical individuals familiar with military training and received dozens of interested recruits.
Atomwaffen or 'nuclear weapons' in German, often goes by the alias name of the Nationalist Socialist Order (NSO). It is a terrorist, neo-Nazi organization that formed under Russell's vision of accelerationism. This mindset believes modern-day civilization cannot be redeemed and therefore must be destroyed so that a 'whites-only utopia can take its place.' The group obsesses over the notion of jihadi and other terrorist actions to receive this lifestyle.
AWD is listed as a hate group and terrorist group by multiple international governments, including the US, the UK, and Canada. Under Russell's leadership, members of the AWD were responsible for several murders, planned terrorist attacks, antisemitic hate crimes, and other criminal actions. The inspiration for these attacks originates from Russell's inspirational heroes - neo-Nazis William Pierce, James Mason, and Joseph Tommasi. When it came to recruitment, Russell specifically sought young college men with slogans such as: 'Join Your Local Nazis' and 'The Nazis are Coming.' Russell was even able to recruit several veterans and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces to help train in the use of firearms and military tactics. Upon recruitment, members were encouraged to read Hitler's Mein Kampf.
AWD members were required to attend 'Hate Camps' where they produce propaganda to entice new members to join. In these propaganda videos members are seen yelling, 'gas the Kikes, race war now' while shooting weapons into the air. AWD advocates for attacks against Jewish communities because they believed the 'kike plans to destroy the Aryan race.'

Joe Rogan - The Podcaster Pushing Jewish Power
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/joe-rogan-the-podcaster-pushing-jewish-power
Joe Rogan is the host behind The Joe Rogan Experience, a highly controversial podcast tainted with bigotry and racism, diving headfirst into spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories to his audience of nearly 13 million people.
In 2022, Spotify announced they were removing 113 episodes over incidents of racism and incentive language after footage surfaced showing Rogan using racial slurs.
Rogan has compared Covid-19 vaccines to "Nazi experiments" and vaccine requirements to the "Holocaust." Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev called out Rogan for his antisemitism, stating - "You are absolutely not promoting freedom, but promoting hate, antisemitism, and possibly even more violence and constant hate."
Throughout the years, Rogan has also hosted a sea of problematic guests on his show including Jordan Peterson, who joined Rogan on a podcast to discuss an array of issues and compared 'Nazism' to various contentious LGBTQ topics. Rogan has also interviewed Alex Jones who has created an open platform for antisemites to spew hatred and violence against the Jewish people, including Holocaust denier and past 'Antisemite of the Week' Nick Fuentes and StopAntisemitism's '2022 Antisemite of the Year' Kanye West.
During Kanye West's antisemitic tirades in 2022, Rogan fiercely defended West after his antisemitic tirade and full-fledged attack on the Jewish people. After West threatened to go "Death Con 3" against the Jewish people and said Hitler & the Nazis "did good things" Rogan pushed back saying, "Ye is not a bad person...he's gifted."
A few weeks ago, Rogan hosted Breaking Points co-host Krystal Ball on his podcast discussing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's removal from the Foreign Affairs Committee over repetitive antisemitic remarks. Omar has spent much of her time in office criticizing Israel by reinforcing antisemitic tropes in a series of tweets.
In one tweet, Omar stated: "Israel has hypnotized the world," violating the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) working definition of antisemitism that states "making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations toward Jews or the power of Jews as a collective" is indeed antisemitic.
Omar invoked a clear antisemitic stereotype of Jewish power and control when discussing the United States' financial aid and allyship with the State of Israel as being "all about the Benjamins."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/dc10f58b-18df-4041-a255-23480000e832/Screen+Shot+2023-02-17+at+5.47.55+PM.png?format=2500w)
Rogan mocked the situation saying - "the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That's like saying Italians aren't into pizza. It's f*cking stupid." Rogan continued to defend Rep. Omar throughout the conversation stating she should not have apologized for her use of centuries-old antisemitic tropes.
One of the most common stereotypes about Jews is that they are greedy and will do anything for wealth. This trope has been used to fabricate that Jewish people control the world's financial systems, often leading to violence against Jews. The Nazis pushed the notion of Jewish greed in their antisemitic campaigns, producing propaganda films pushing Jewish wealth and greed that ultimately ended with the murder of six million Jews. Italians have never been the victims of genocide based on their "love of pizza." To compare the two is not only ludicrous, but hateful.
If Rogan's comments weren't damaging enough, Ball found a way to make it worse by adding - "There is a very obvious reason why for my entire life there's been a unipartite consensus around our policy vis-à-vis the Israeli government and a total inability and unwillingness to criticize the Israeli government. It has everything to do with organization and, yes, money." Rogan stayed silent and didn't push back.

Mark Ruffalo - The Sorry, Not Sorry Jew Hater
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/gm8v5421ujq7q81ajrkj5yjzbmjyxq
Mark Ruffalo is an American actor who spends his free time spewing antisemitic rhetoric and dangerous anti-Israel propaganda to his nearly 30 million social media followers. Ruffalo regularly aligns himself with antisemitic positions and fans the flames of Jew-hatred masked as pro-Palestinian activism.
In 2018, Ruffalo tweeted his outrage over CNN's firing of antisemite Marc Lamont Hill. Hill was caught inciting violence against Israel and the Jewish people by reciting rhetoric that called for the dissolution of the Jewish people and the only Jewish nation. Ruffalo stated Hill was advocating for Palestinian rights, when in reality Hill openly called for the elimination of Israel, encouraged Palestinians in their "resistance," and was later linked to notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/a9bbb160-7cdd-4530-886b-f02aa39b49e8/marc+lamont+hill+antisemite+farrakhan.jpeg?format=2500w)
In 2019, Ruffalo signed a letter of support for the UK's Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn. Despite Corbyn being a staunch antisemite, Ruffalo described him as a "beacon of hope against racism." The Labour Party, particularly under Corbyn, was discovered to harbor deeply anti-Jewish bias, which led to Corbyn's dismissal.
In 2020, Ruffalo grew agitated and whined about being labeled antisemitic for falsely accusing the State of Israel of being an apartheid nation during his time on the Mehdi Hasan Show. Mehdi Hasan, another notorious antisemite, is an avid Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) supporter who within one week of launching his show on MSNBC invited guests to spew antisemitic & anti-Israel propaganda.
In 2021, Ruffalo boasted he was "proud" to add his name to support the ending of genocide at the hands of Israel. Unfortunately, the organizations he aligned himself with to "protect Palestinians" called for the destruction of Israel and America. Instead of supporting human rights groups, Ruffalo was openly supporting terrorist organizations whose mission is to destroy the world's only Jewish nation.
Mark Ruffalo's outrageous comparison of Israel to genocide and apartheid was met with harsh criticism around the world, leading Ruffalo to issue an apology. In a tweet, Ruffalo says he regrets using the term "genocide." He said his description was inaccurate, inflammatory, and disrespectful and does not justify antisemitism.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/88632ee6-4bf0-44b9-bbb2-3c9f367ee07f/ruffle+antisemite.png?format=2500w)
Ruffalo's apology was unfortunately short-lived; just five days after expressing his regret for inciting antisemitism, Ruffalo resumed his dangerous anti-Israel rhetoric on Twitter.
In 2022, Mark Ruffalo tweeted his outrage over PayPal's decision to pull business from Gaza due to ongoing transactions that were tied directly to funding terror operations by Hamas and calling for the slaughtering of Jews. Ruffalo, not bothered by that mission, asked his followers to sign a petition to overturn PayPal's decision. Thankfully, PayPal refused to cave to Ruffalo's outrageous demands.
Later in 2022, Ruffalo tweeted against the United Nations adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. He echoed the false claim that defining antisemitism was instrumentalized to "discourage free speech." Despite Ruffalo's call to dismiss the IHRA's definition of antisemitism, the definition has been endorsed/adopted by 40 countries, 300+ non-federal governments, thousands of Jewish academics, hundreds of universities, the European Union's Coordinator for Combating Antisemitism, as well as the former UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Religion.
On February 15, 2023, Ruffalo tweeted one of his most outlandish and defamatory tweets to date, stating: "between their spyware, election tampering, disinformation campaigns, state-sanctioned killing of journalists, apartheid, & their new ultra-right wing nationalist party, there are power centers in Israel that are antidemocratic & dangerous to world peace." This antisemitic ideology that Jews control the media, Hollywood, banks, and world peace are tropes which have been used to persecute the Jewish people throughout the course of history.

The Jewish media might like it to be CALLED Jew Hatred.
But it's not Jew Hatred.
It's simple Gentile Self-Defense.
After 5783 years of watching the Psychopathy, Deceit, and Dysfunction that the Jews bring -
returning the chemical elements in their bodies to Other Purposes - like feeding their bodies to farm animals - is simple Gentile Self-Defense.
Times Up - Pencils Down. The Jews have simply shown their True Nature too many times to arrive at any other conclusion.

Bella Hadid - Like Father, Like Daughter https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/bella-hadid-like-father-like-daughter
Bella Hadid is an American model, influencer, and social media poster child for online Jew hatred; she is also the daughter of disgraced Jordanian real estate mogul and former "Antisemite of the Week" Mohamed Hadid. http://theinfounderground.com/smf/index.php?topic=29068.msg96096#msg96096 Like her father, Bella Hadid obsessively spreads false and dangerous disinformation about the Jewish people and nation to her nearly 66 million followers on social media.
In December 2017, Bella joined a protest in London that challenged then-President Donald Trump's decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Many protesters at the event were caught chanting in Arabic: "Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Muhammed is returning," a slogan referring to the prophet Muhammed's bloody ruling against Jewish tribes. "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" (a Hamas rallying cry for the elimination of the Jewish state) was also widely heard at the protest. Hadid later defended the protestors' chanting on Instagram, stating: "The treatment of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided, and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine."
Shortly after this protest, Bella began falsely labeling the Jewish state as "apartheid" and calling the Jews in Israel "a group of colonizers" who conduct ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. She dismisses the fact that the Palestinian population has grown from 1.37 million in 1948 to 14 million today. If Israelis are partaking in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, they are doing a lousy job.
In May 2021, during a violent season in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Bella Hadid attended a pro-Palestinian rally-turned-riot in New York City with Waseem Awawdeh, who is charged with assaulting an innocent Orthodox Jewish man at the protest. Awawdeh and many others brutally beat Joey Borgen so badly he was taken to the hospital in serious condition. During the attack, Borgen was called a "filthy Jew." Awawdeh said, "I'm going to f*cking kill you. Go back to Israel so Hamas can kill you." Awawdeh was apprehended and upon arrest stated, "I would do it again."
Bella Hadid never condemned Awawdeh's antisemitic actions but instead took to social media once again to proclaim, "The way my heart feels...To be around this many beautiful, smart, respectful, loving, kind, and generous Palestinians all in one place...it feels whole! We are a rare breed!" StopAntisemitism was quickly able to link Awawdeh to Hadid with photographic evidence and she promptly deleted her photos and traces of him from her feed.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/aa717f81-b678-42c8-a563-45cee85bfdd8/Bella+Hadid+with+Waseem+Awawdeh.jpeg?format=2500w)
Bella Hadid's now deleted Instagram post connecting her to violent antisemite Waseem Awawdeh at a May 2021 protest in NYC.
In July 2022, Hadid went on a tirade of sharing false information across social media claiming: "Israel was occupying Palestinian Land for 4000 years" and "Jesus was Palestinian." In a separate Instagram post by Bella and her sister Gigi Hadid, they shared: "One cannot advocate for racial equality, LGBT and women's rights, condemn corrupt and abusive regimes and other injustices yet choose to ignore the Palestinian oppression." Israel is the only country in the Middle East where women's rights are championed & LGBTQ+ rights are celebrated. Tel Aviv hosts one of the largest Pride parades in the world; whereas homosexuality is a death sentence under the Palestinian Authority (PLO).
This is not the only time Bella has spread misinformation to her millions of followers; Hadid posted an image claiming newly elected Prime Minister of Israel Neftali Bennett said, "I've killed lots of Arabs in my life, and there's no problem with that." and that the "former minister of justice for Israel was encouraging genocide against the Palestinians, specifically pregnant mothers." Her ongoing antisemitic lies caused a petition of nearly 70,000 signatures to circulate calling for brands to drop Bella Hadid.
Shockingly, despite Bella Hadid's antisemitic behavior being well known in the fashion and makeup world, this past week beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury announced Hadid would be the new face of the company, angering thousands and thousands of the brand's loyal fans.

James Ray - The Radical's Radical
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/james-ray-the-radicals-radical
James Ray is a radical Jew-hater & supporter of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. A graduate of Purdue University's class of 2020, and more recently of Murray State University, James Ray has a growing audience on multiple social media platforms where he spews antisemitic and dangerous libel against the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. James has an unhealthy obsession with wishing violence upon the Jewish community and those who identify as Zionists (which accounts for more than 90% of Jews globally). Unfortunately, he has fallen for the fallacy of equating Israel to an apartheid and imperialist empire; this mindset has encouraged James to become a terrorist sympathizer and supporter.
The BDS movement is linked to multiple terrorist organizations and supporters call for the elimination of the world's sole Jewish nation. James Ray is one of those supporters:
- During the 2021 Olympics, James Ray applauded the athletes who refused to compete against Israel. He claimed it was beautiful and should be celebrated.
- James Ray promotes the dismantling of the State of Israel, expressing multiple times throughout his Twitter feed the idea of "free Palestine from the river to the sea."
- James Ray calls for the destruction of the state by physical means.
James Ray has a troubling and violent mindset when it comes to the Jewish community. He often advocates or stands in solidarity with those who wish to harm or even kill Jews & Zionists:
- On November 26, 2021, James Ray expressed his support for Yasmeen Mashayekh - a former 'Antisemite of the Week' - who was removed from student government at the University of Southern California after she tweeted her desire to "kill every motherf—king Zionist."
- On December 26, 2021, two Jewish college students were violently assaulted for wearing Israeli Defense Force (IDF) apparel and called "dirty Jews." Ray mocked the incident saying, "the IDF can't protect you in Brooklyn ❤)."
- On February 27th, U.S. citizen and Connecticut born Elan Ganeles was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist. James Ray's response was horrifying, "He made a conscious choice to join a genocidal occupation force as it continues a campaign of mass ethnic cleansing and set himself up in the West Bank on the front lines of the colonial endeavor he sought to uphold. He deserved to die, and his memory will be a stain on the land."

James Ray also embraces terror organizations:
- In 2021 James pledged his support for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
- Also in 2021 James shared he was reading the PFLP's 1969 book, Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine; the book claims that in order to liberate Palestine, a violent armed struggle must take place between Israelis and Palestinians.

It is rumored Croteau's ardent antisemitism was so grotesque that the Oath Keepers decided to part ways with him in 2017. Before being removed from the Oath Keepers, Croteau was arrested, charged, and found guilty of assault, trespassing, and disorderly contact for weeks of aggressive stalking and unhinged rants against an Army recruitment office.
In a 2014 Facebook post, Croteau insinuated Americans have been misled about the truth about Adolf Hitler, claiming the stories did not "add up" and shares a link to a YouTube video titled, "Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told." He also denies the Nazi regime committed mass genocide against the Jewish people.

Croteau is an avid 9/11 conspiracy theorist, claiming Israel is behind the horrific terrorist attacks. Croteau shares dozens of antisemitic memes blaming one of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil on Zionists and Israel.
In 2017, Croteau wrote in a long-winded post claiming the time of American freedom is coming to an end at the hands of the Jewish cabal. He grotesquely stated the "world outnumbers the Jews, yet they are controlled by the Jews." That same year he uploaded a meme saying Israel was the #1 enemy of America and "Zionists" are holding the government "hostage" and "controlling everyone with the financial system."
In 2019, Croteau once again claimed Jewish power, uploading an article claiming Israel's lobby has control of American politicians.
During the global COVID pandemic, Croteau blamed COVID on the Jewish people in an attempt to create a New World Order. He made ludicrous statements comparing the Holocaust to the pandemic and claimed the Zionists were the ones behind COVID.

In March 2023, in a split-vote decision, the Pima County Board of Supervisors approved to appoint this Holocaust denier as a precinct committeeman. David Croteau failed to win several elections as a Green Party candidate, before being dismissed from the party due to his antisemitic views. At the time of the vote, Croteau was running as a Libertarian. In November 2022, he was declined the position, but after little debate this month, the committee moved forward with appointing Croteau to the vacant committee seat.

Huwaida Arraf - Terror Cheerleader
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/6wnjok1x8aom8getve6k45iw11gwdz
Huwaida Arraf is a failed Congressional candidate out of Michigan and a rabid antisemite that equates the Jewish nation with Nazi Germany, glorifies and legally defends convicted terrorists, and advocates for violence against Israel. Arraf is also a big supporter of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and has been listed as an Advisory Board Member for the pro-BDS group U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) since 2010.
Arraf co-founded the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in 2001, which has been linked to terror groups like Hamas, PIJ, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), all of which are designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) by the U.S. State Department.
Arraf is an outspoken supporter of violence when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict:
- In January 2002, during the second intifada, Arraf authored an article on Palestinian resistance and intifada. In the article, she expresses "the Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics — both nonviolent and violent. But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects."
- In the same article, Arraf writes, "we accept that Palestinians have a right to resist with arms" and that if prospective Hamas suicide bombers would instead "offer themselves as martyrs by standing on a settler road and blocking it from traffic" that would be "no less of a jihad...no less noble than carrying out a suicide operation" and they would also "be considered shaheed [martyr] Allah."

Arraf often equates the world's sole Jewish state to that of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, something deemed antisemitic under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism:
- In 2018, Arraf tweeted, "Shame on those who have allowed Israel to turn Gaza into a concentration camp."
- In 2018, Arraf equated the Palestinian Resistance to the Holocaust: "Calling for the freedom of the Palestinian people, of all people, on the walls of the Warsaw ghetto should be applauded, not condemned!"
Arraf also believes the state of Israel has no right to exist, tweeting at then Secretary of State John Kerry, stating "Israel does not have the right to a Jewish state." Such expressions of erasure are also deemed antisemitic by IHRA.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/cfdc4fb5-162f-4eae-9a29-755478299784/Huwaida+Arraf+antisemite.jpg?format=2500w)
Arraf, an attorney, boasts convicted terrorists, such as Rasmea Odeh, as clients. In 2016, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) wrote a tweet that Arraf was a "new member of Rasmea Odeh's defense team" with Arraf expressing her glee, stating it was a privilege to defend Odeh. In 1969, Odeh orchestrated a bombing that killed two Jewish college students shopping in a Jerusalem supermarket. Odeh also attempted to bomb the British consulate.
In 2020, Arraf tweeted her admiration for Leila Khaled, a Palestinian freedom fighter. Arraf included a petition that called Khaled "a powerful, inspiring figure, more than just a freedom fighter, a national icon. Khaled helped hijack two airplanes and claims the second intifada was unsuccessful because not enough Jews were murdered. Khaled compares Zionists to Nazis and advocates for the use of children in military & terror zones.
Despite Huwaida Arraf's hateful background, earlier this month she was shockingly invited to join a diversity panel at Bloomfield Hills High School, a suburb in Michigan boasting a large Jewish population. Arraf presented four times, to grades 9-12th, and was supposed to discuss how to build empathy within the community; instead, in each presentation, she deviated from the prompts and went on a rampage against Israel and the Jewish people. Faculty members never intervened, allowing her to continue her hate campaign, leaving several Jewish students in tears. [Did they feel guilt for what Israhell and jews are doing?] The school was forced to apologize but caused further outrage after the principal's message failed to include Jews or Israel. The superintendent was forced to step in and issue a second apology.

Susan Abulhawa - The Wretched Writer
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/susan-abulhawa
Susan Abulhawa is an American author, activist, and staunch antisemite pushing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Abulhawa spreads vile conspiracy theories about Jews harvesting Palestinian organs and has horrifically referred to an American Israeli terror victim as "human garbage".
Susan Abulhawa calls for the violent eradication of Israel, spreads antisemitic tropes and anti-Zionist libel against the Jews, and even threatens world leaders with slanderous lies and comparisons.
On February 28, in light of the murder of Elan Ganeles, a dual US Israeli citizen by a Palestinian terrorist, Abulhawa called him a "privileged white man" who "violently colonized another people" through "robbing & oppressing." She asked why Jews in New York would be upset over this "human garbage."

In February, Abulhawa was invited to speak at Adelaide Writers' Week in Australia. Abulhawa was under much scrutiny for her 2022 comparisons of Jewish Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as a "Nazi-promoting Zionist" and claimed he was trying to plunge the world into WWIII. This led to three Ukrainian authors withdrawing from the event.

Abulhawa also parades the false conspiracy trope that Israelis want to conquer Palestinians and "take over the world." She has even gone as far as to drop "false flag" allegations against Israel and claims Jews bomb their synagogues in order to blame Palestinians and "ethnically cleanse" them from the area.
In Abulhawa's worldview, there is no room for Jews and Palestinians to exist in the land together in peace. Multiple times she refers to Israelis as "Nazis" and "demons" and wants Israel to be "destroyed and dismantled".
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/c07c8f84-2d3a-4412-9587-bca9e352d030/Israel+destroyed.jpeg?format=1500w)
In 2017, Abulhawa discovered she was 6% Jewish and joked if she was qualified for Holocaust restitution. Yet, she remains obsessed with denying the horrors of the Holocaust and equates Israel's treatment of Palestinians to genocide, tweeting "Zionism is terrorism is Nazism is antisemitism."

This month, Susan Abulhawa dialed up her vileness. Her Twitter account was permanently banned after she stated "the world will be a better place when Israel is wiped off the map...the end of that anachronistic colonial experiment is near." Twitter stated her account was banned for breaking the "hateful conduct" rule and she was banned from creating new accounts going forward.

Houria Bouteldja - Homophobic Jew Hater
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/houria-bouteldja
Houria Bouteldja is a French-Algerian political activist and writer who uses her position and platform to spread dangerous antisemitic libel against the Jewish people. An advocate for the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Bouteldja is best known for her work as a spokesperson for the Parti des Indigènes de la République (Party of the Indigenous of the Republic), a French political organization that advocates for the rights of immigrants and descendants of immigrants in France, particularly those of North African and African descent.
Bouteldja remains a highly controversial figure due to her antisemitic and homophobic statements as she often makes a habit of using tropes vilifying both in her writings and speeches, including referring to Jews as "the new priests of the dominant ideology" and claiming that Jews hold a privileged position in French society.
The majority of Houria Bouteldja's statements and writings have been criticized as antisemitic by various individuals and organizations. In her widely criticized book, "Whites, Jews, and Us: Towards a Politics of Revolutionary Love," Bouteldja referred to "panicked Jewish elites" as those who control the government and claimed that Jews hold a privileged position in French society. This assertion has been criticized as promoting antisemitic stereotypes.
Moreover, in a 2017 speech, Bouteldja's statement that she "could not care less" about the murder of Jewish woman Sarah Halimi, who was killed by a Muslim neighbor in Paris because Halimi was "a colonizer," was widely condemned as inciting violence against the Jewish people.
Furthermore, Bouteldja has faced criticism for her use of antisemitic language in her criticism of Zionism and the state of Israel. In a 2013 interview, she referred to Zionism as a "criminal ideology" and claimed that it "shares the same DNA as Nazism."
Additionally, her use of the phrase "Jewish lobby" in her writings has been viewed as promoting antisemitic conspiracies and tropes that are harmful to Jews.
Additional examples of Houria Bouteldja's dangerous ideology against the Jewish people and other minorities include:
- "Zionists to the Gulag" (comprising 90%+ of Jews globally)
- "Killing an Israeli is killing two birds with one stone – eliminating the oppressor and the oppressed"
- "Mohamed Merah is me and I am him" (Merah is the terrorist who fired upon a Jewish school in 2012 Toulouse)
- "Homophobia is fierce resistance to Western imperialism."
- "An Arab man that is 'coming out' is an act of submission to white supremacy."

In 2020, Bouteldja was subject to legal action due to her ongoing harassment of April Benayoum, a French beauty queen who is also Jewish. Bouteldja used antisemitic language in reference to Benayoum, including the phrase "Hitler forgot to exterminate you, Miss Provence.
Despite Bouteldja's prejudiced sentiments, she remained a prominent figure in French politics and activism and has been invited to speak at events and conferences around the world.
Yale University's European Studies Council invited Houria Bouteldja to speak on their campus during Passover.

You'd think eventually the ADL hate group would recognize the Pro-Gentile-ism of the members of TIU.

Carlton Williams
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/carlton-williams
Carlton E. Williams is an Assistant Professor at Cornell Law School and a lifelong Jew hater who supports antisemitic boycotts, spreads antisemitic rhetoric, and supports convicted terrorists.
In his free time, Williams spends countless hours on his social media platforms spreading antisemitic libel against the Jewish people and nation, leading efforts with the antisemitic Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions Movement (BDS) and the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). He has been obsessively critical of the Jewish nation, pushing antisemitic rhetoric under the guise of Black empowerment and solidarity. As part of "Israel Apartheid Week" (IAW) in April 2018, Williams participated as a panelist in a "Black Palestinian Solidarity" event hosted by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee. Williams falsely equates the struggles of Black Americans with Palestinians.
In January 2019, Williams called for a boycott against Puma for conducting business with the State of Israel. He shared a similar tweet when calling for the boycott of Sabra Hummus as it is an Israeli product.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/133eabfd-e041-4150-a46f-6a7b9a80a1d7/Screen+Shot+2023-04-13+at+10.26.07+PM.jpg?format=2500w)
Williams included on his resume as of October 2021 that he held the position of "Community Organizer/Trainer" at Palestine Legal and the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). ISM claims to be a non-violent front against the "occupation" yet been accused of supporting terrorism and has encouraged its foreign volunteers to act "as human shields in cities, towns, and refugee camps."
Williams has been invited to give speeches and presentations at events organized by radical agitators Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at multiple chapters on university campuses. The majority of SJP chapters champion terrorists and terrorism.
Williams often dives headfirst into spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories of Jewish power and control. For example, during a 2016 SJP panel, Professor Williams stated: "This is sort of a rhetorical question. Does the Israeli lobby control the United States government or does the United States government control Israel as a proxy in the Middle East?" mimicking antisemitic rhetoric of Jewish power and control.

Williams also makes no secret of his support of Palestinian terrorists. For example:
- Williams tweeted "On Khader Adnan's Hunger Strike." Khader Adnan is a violent senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization.
- In 2018, Williams shared with his followers to write a letter to then jailed terrorist, Ahed Tamimi. Ahed Tamimi frequently uses violent force against Israeli soldiers. Her father, Bassem Tamimi, is known for using children to provoke conflicts with Israeli soldiers and was imprisoned in 2011 for encouraging minors to throw rocks at Israelis.

Daniel Segal - The Holocaust Appropriator
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/antisemite-of-the-week-daniel-segal
Daniel Segal is a Professor of Psychology at Pitzer College in Pomona, CA, where he has a record of engaging in antisemitic and anti-Israel activity.
In November 2018, Segal spearheaded an effort to have Pitzer suspend its study abroad program with the University of Haifa in Israel. He was supported by former "Antisemite of the Week" Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (pictured below with Segal), but thankfully, his efforts failed.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/9ffa003f-8860-4456-a6df-6df4ab4ea467/Daniel+Segal+Rashida+Tlaib.jpg?format=1500w)
Segal is known to partner with and support several problematic groups such as Open Hillel, an organization that's criticized for its antisemitic bias and bigotry. He also frequently tweets his support of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and is an advisory member of Anthropologists for the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions. For example, in May of 2021, Segal tweeted: "Self-respecting Jews are anti-Zionists, bc Zionism is settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing and apartheid--and racist. Self-respecting Jews aren't racist. They support Palestinian freedom. & #BDS." Segal atrociously considers fellow Jews who consider themselves Zionists as colonizers and perpetrators of genocide and apartheid.
Minimizing the atrocities of the Holocaust, Segal has grossly appropriated the slogan, "never again," nearly 50 times between January 2019 and June 2022, in a malicious attempt to draw a comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany. For example, on:
- June 24, 2021, Segal tweeted: "2/2 self-respecting Jews know 'never again' means never again to anyone. Hillel Intl is now a pro-Israeli apartheid and anti-Palestinian organization that deserves no institutional support on any college campus anywhere."
- September 15, 2021, Segal tweeted: "To all observing, may this be the Yom Kippur when we seek atonement for the sins done in our Jewish name by the Israeli apartheid state: it's denial of freedom to Palestinians. 'Never again' must mean to any human being or it too is wickedness. #YomKippur2021 #GmarChatimaTova."
- November 13, 2021, Segal tweeted: "As a Jew, I am obligated to support #BDS, because 'never again' means for any of us. Seeking security for a people by attaching it to a state, a militarized state, is evil: we know the consequences. #PalestinianFreedom."
- January 25, 2021, Segal tweeted: "How dishonest & evil a person are you willing to be? Never again means never again for any human being: you betray the memory of the Holocaust." Segal was responding to a tweet defending Israel's vaccine distribution during the coronavirus pandemic. Despite Segal's claims, All of Israel's citizens, including Arabs, were provided equal and free access to a coronavirus vaccine. Palestinian leaders rejected the initial delivery of the vaccine stating false expiration dates were the factor.

Segal is also an open supporter of convicted Palestinian terrorists such as Leila Khaled, a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) who participated in the hijacking of an aircraft. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated for the use of children in committing terrorist acts, and compared Zionists to Nazis.

Sean Kauffmann - The Weapon Obsessed Neo Nazi https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/sean-kauffmann-weapons-obsessed-nazi
Sean Kauffmann is a disturbed neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier with a documented history of violence and a massive cache of firearms. Kauffmann associates with terrorists, shares bomb-making plans, and openly threatens specific terroristic acts.
Kauffmann is an engaged member of the Tennessee Active Club, who is regularly spotted sporting his signature red kilt. Active Clubs are a decentralized coalition of white supremacist crews that operate on a national scale, taking much of their ideological and strategic direction from the white supremacist group known as the Rise Above Movement. Active Club members consider themselves fighters against a system they perceive as hostile to white people spreading white supremacist propaganda, attending demonstrations, and holding private training events inspired by European MMA-based white supremacist groups.
Kauffmann, who goes by "Boog Fuhrer" or "Fash Squatch" and his band of white supremacists often communicate on the channel "Terrorgram," an active channel on the communications app, Telegram. The group actively distributes antisemitic propaganda and messaging, calling for the dismantling of "Jewish power." Some of Kauffmann's self made flyers can be viewed below, including "WITH JEWS YOU LOSE" and other antisemitic slogans.

Kauffmann's online persona - Boog Führer via Telegram
Kauffmann has used Telegram to seek advice from white nationalist Jarrett Williams Smith on how to hide firearms. Smith & Kauffmann's exchange regarding an assassination plot of Representative Beto O'Rourke ultimately led to Smith's arrest. Smith, a former US Army soldier, was charged with sharing information on making explosives and weapons of mass destruction. He expressed interest in attacking a news network and a presidential candidate and communicated with a neo-Nazi group about carrying out an attack. Smith pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
Kauffmann, who has a history of domestice and sexual abuse, encourages his followers to assert their dominance through violence and sexual assault. He claims to have sexually abused his nanny, now his wife, to breed a "klan" of Nazis. In his free time, he shares his fascination with explosives. Kauffmann and his wife actively share threads of plans to bomb various cities throughout the country. Around 2020, Kauffmann relocated to Tennessee. In July of 2020, Kauffmann was arrested for violently assaulting individuals at a Black Lives Matter protest. In April 2023, Kauffmann appeared alongside Patriot Front at a protest in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he was seen giving the Hitler salute. A 15-year-old he included in the protest screamed, "kill all the n*ggers and the Jews."

On August 20, 2022, neo-Nazis held an MMA tournament in an undisclosed location in San Diego; the Nazi fight club operates under the guise of fitness or martial arts and has become one of the most important recruitment tools for white nationalists in the United States. It is a place where white nationalists are able to come together to spread incitement against the Black and Jewish communities. Members have stated: "This event showcases the strength and fabric of nationalism in America that will terrify Jewish power for decades to come." Sean Kauffmann, along with members of the Patriot Front, participated in the fights.

Albert Faleski - aka An0maly
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/albert-faleski-aka-an0maly
Albert Faleski, a.k.a. "An0maly," is a popular right-wing social media figure, conspiracy theorist, and "rapper" who rose to fame during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In recent years, Faleski has spread dangerous and false theories about Jews to his hundreds of thousands of online supporters, accusing Jews of having "dual loyalty" to the State of Israel and other harmful stereotypes.
His antisemitic beliefs can also be found in his music, where he often raps about "Zionist power" and how Jews "control the banks and world." Examples of Faleski accusing Jewish communities of having dual loyalties to Israel include:
- In December 2019, he tweeted that the late American businessman Sheldon Adelson was guilty of "dual loyalty" for his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- In 2021, after being a long-time advocate for former President Donald Trump, Faleski turns on him for supporting legislation that would protect the Jewish communities from the onslaught of antisemitic violence that stems from hate speech: "Are you paying attention? (They) are pushing SPEECH LAWS to stop people from talking about DUAL LOYALTY."
- On June 10, 2021, Faleski called Ben Shapiro "Satan's little boy" for condemning the phrase "dual loyalty" as antisemitic. Faleski doubled down on his Jew-hatred a few months later in August of 2021, when he called Dennis Prager & Shapiro liars for suggesting Jews do not have dual loyalty with Israel.
Faleski also rejects the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and other legislation that protects Jewish people from bigotry and hatred. For example:
- In 2022, he tweeted out a definition of IHRA's definition stating, "They say it's hate speech to say Jews killed Jesus, have more loyalty to Israel than other countries & saying they control large sectors of society."
- In January 2023 Faleski tweeted, "They're passing speech laws in America because they serve Zionism over America."

Faleski also falsely equates Jewish people with "power" and "control." For example:
- In April 2021, Faleski tweeted out to his thousands of followers, "What do Epstein, Weinstein & 85% of the writers, producers & media execs making the most subversive programming have in common? I'll give you a hint." This false conspiracy of Jews controlling the media is extremely damaging to the safety of American Jews.
- In April 2022, Faleski claimed Trump "blew it" (his re-election) because he and others "pledge allegiance to Zion Don The Big Pharma Shawarma."
- In October 2022, Faleski tweeted, "The Nick Cannon & Kanye West rule: Your Hollywood handlers want you to aggressively bash European white people for a living — NOT Jews. Do NOT talk about Jews. You will be put in Whoopi Goldberg timeout. Stick to bashing poor white people. Not those who own your companies." In the same thread he continued to state Jews were trying to create a race war and he is trying to expose their "scheme."
In April 2023, activist Candace Owens appeared on An0maly's podcast where the two discussed age-old antisemitic tropes. Owens also made startling statements about her former Jewish boss, Dennis Prager: "he is so warm and likable, you don't even think twice that he is Jewish." An0maly agreed with her assertion and the two continued their dialogue regarding Jewish victimhood and defending the 2022 Antisemite of the Year, Kanye West.

Congressman Paul Gosar
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-10/congressman-paul-gosar
Paul Anthony Gosar is an American far-right Congressman, representing Arizona's 9th district. Throughout his political career, Gosar has been at the center of multiple controversial incidents due to his openly antisemitic and violent views. This has resulted in his removal from multiple committee assignments in Congress.
Gosar has also engaged in "meme culture" on his Twitter account, including the #DarkMAGA movement, which has ties to neo-Nazi meme culture and often expresses violent desires towards perceived enemies. These actions and associations have drawn criticism and raised concerns about Gosar's stance on antisemitism and white supremacist ideologies. Many of these accounts found in "meme culture" push the "great replacement theory" which suggests minorities are replacing white Americans. This ideology spurred multiple mass shootings, including the 2018's Pittsburg Tree of Life Synagogue massacre to carry out his attacks.
In 2021, Gosar publicly supported the activities of Vincent James Foxx, a well-known white nationalist who assumed the role of an unofficial propagandist for a neo-Nazi fight club. A few years prior, Gosar even shared the stage at a white nationalist conference with Foxx and former "Antisemite of the Week" Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust-denier and promoter of antisemitic ideologies. This made Gosar the first sitting politician to participate in such an event.
In October 2022, Gosar tweeted to his supporters to "Pray for Kanye West. They will throw everything they have at him simply for speaking the truth" in response to Kanye's online threats against the Jewish people.
In April 2023, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Gosar promoted an antisemitic website that praised him for condemning "Jewish warmongers." This website espouses antisemitic conspiracies, denies the Holocaust, and lauds Hitler as a "courageous figure".
His anti-Jewish rhetoric has drawn national and even familial criticism. Six of Gosar's siblings have spoken out against his antisemitic ways. His brother is quoted saying, "It is extremely upsetting to have to call you out on this, Paul, but you've forced our hand with your deceit and antisemitic dog whistle."

New York Assemblyman Zohran Kwame Mamdani
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/zohran-kwame-mamdani
Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a community organizer based in New York City pushing the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS). In 2020, Mamdani ran for the New York State Assembly representing District 36, which covers parts of Queens. He ran as a Democratic Socialist and with the endorsement of previous "Antisemitic of the Week" Linda Sarsour. He beat the incumbent in the Democratic primary by less than 500 votes and went on to win the election in both 2020 and 2022, running unopposed.

Zohran Mamdani proudly claims credit for starting a Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter in college and has a long history of supporting the BDS movement. For example:
- In May 2021, he tweeted: "We pay our elected officials with our tax $$$ to represent us but they go on paid-for trips to Israel. We have three words for them #BDS. Every elected must be pressured to stand with Palestinians, oppose Apartheid & assert that the fight for dignity knows no exception."
- In 2021, like Linda Sarsour, Mamdani attempted to assert his BDS views into the Black Lives Matter movement. He often tweets, "We are paving a new path, one where we stand against injustice & apartheid whether in Ferguson or Palestine" or "#BLM or #BDS."
- In 2022, Mamdani attacked Pro-Israel Representative Ritchie Torres tweeting, "#BDS is a righteous movement for liberation, one supported by queer people & Jewish people & socialists & abolitionists & all those who know another world is possible."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/ef1eca53-1998-4b91-a5c0-c4d490cc5d97/Screen+Shot+2023-05-19+at+5.42.30+PM.jpg?format=2500w)
In August 2022, Mamdani went on a Twitter rant claiming American politicians are essentially bought and paid for by the Israeli government. He also condemned the Iron Dome Defense Missile System, which is credited for saving thousands of Jewish and Arab lives alike.
This month, Zohran Mamdani introduced legislation that pushes pro-BDS legislation known as "Not on Our Dime." The bill would penalize charities that aid various communities within Israel. A collective of 25 assembly membes, led by Daniel Rosenthal and Nily Rozic, issued a shared message emphasizing the risks posed by Mamdani's proposed legislation and assert that this BDS tactic was introduced to create division.

Antisemite of the Week Update: Roger Waters
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/antisemite-of-the-week-update-roger-waters
Roger Waters, co-founder of the band Pink Floyd, has grossly doubled down on his antisemitism since his "Antisemite of the Week" feature in 2019. These incidents stem from his support for the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, his claims of Jewish power and control, and his minimization of the Holocaust.
A few weeks ago, despite public outcry and petitions, Germany allowed Waters' concert to proceed. In true Waters fashion, his performance had multiple antisemitic themes: at one point, he donned an outfit similar to an SS German officer and fired a fake automatic rifle.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/38453440-4648-4e10-a87a-228eb7eb91ff/Roger+Waters+Nazi+Costume.jpg?format=2500w)
To add further insult to injury, Waters presented the names of Anne Frank and Shireen Abu Akleh side by side, comparing a parallel between the teenage Holocaust victim and the Palestinian journalist who was accidentally killed while covering the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/6ea9d85d-fb6b-4698-8513-d50224f7d174/Roger+Waters+Holocaust+Minimization.jpeg?format=2500w)
Waters, an adamant supporter of BDS, also calls for the isolation and cultural boycott of the Jewish nation. He falsely compares the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians to apartheid South Africa and shockingly compares Israel to Nazi Germany. Some of his statements and actions have been paraded at his largely attended concerts. For example, in 2013, he used a large inflatable pig with a Star of David to signify Jewish greed and control, causing significant controversy as it invoked dangerous antisemitic stereotypes.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/ca9a8db4-a439-448b-bd00-81cc5e3f8866/Roger+Waters+Pig+Star+of+David.jpeg?format=2500w)
Not surprisingly, Roger Waters also associates with as well as defends prominent antisemites such as Linda Sarsour. After StopAntisemitism's successful campaign in which Geico cut ties with Linda Sarsour in 2022 after we exposed her vile Jew hatred to Geico's executives, Waters went on a rant that Geico caved to the "Zionists" and that some "Zionist person" was behind the firing.

A few months later, Waters went on the podcast of former Antisemite of the Week Joe Rogan, where the two spoke and discussed what they considered to be antisemitic. Waters defended Hamas and claimed Israel was responsible for the Palestinian's ongoing intifadas because the Israelis will eventually "slaughter the Palestinians."
In an interview with "Ha'aretz" this month, Waters blamed the "Jewish lobby" for perpetuating the false notion that he was antisemitic. During the same interview, he called for an end to the Jewish state.
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, boycotting Israeli goods, and drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis are deemed antisemitic by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
Thankfully, Berlin authorities announced they were launching a criminal investigation into the actions that took place at Roger Waters' concert mentioned above.
Despite Germany's investigation and the ongoing antisemitic behavior of Roger Waters, the movie giant AMC Theaters has decided to proceed with promoting his current film!

Henry Bens Jr. - The High School Hate Monger
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/ymoehy5wnyc85z2cz9puii0s0p1vsx
Henry Bens Jr. is a high school educator propagating and promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and tropes in Northern California's Hayward Unified School District. Bens maintains ties with the extremist group Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI), a fringe, cult-like, religious movement that mimics the extremist rhetoric of the Nation of Islam (NOI) and fuels Jew-hatred and antisemitic violence. Identified as a hate group by StopAntisemitism and multiple others, its core agenda is the false belief that Black Americans are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites, and that modern-day Jews are imposters who stole the religious heritage of Black people.
Bens actively upholds and shares his antisemitic views on social media; for example in October 2020, Bens claimed "The Khazars, Converts to Judaism, are not from any of the 12 Tribes of Israel, because they are not of the seed of Abraham nor Jacob!" The Black Hebrew Israelites maintain that today's Jews are religious converts who descended from the Khazars, with no historical connection to the land of Israel.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/461011a1-1b8e-496d-95ee-c9a686e0e857/Screen+Shot+2023-06-16+at+10.18.03+PM.png?format=2500w)
Bens also posts rhetoric denying the Jewish people of their ancestral home and history, defends notorious antisemites, and spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories of Jewish power and control. For example:
- In October 2022, he ranted on Facebook about companies cutting ties with Kanye West over his antisemitic comments. Bens stated, "All these happened because Kanye made truth claims about the so-called Jewish people."
- In November 2022, he praised Kyrie Irving for promoting the antisemitic film "Hebrews to Negroes." The film falsely accuses the Jewish people of replacing Black people as the original descendants of Israel. Bens followed with another post questioning the what constitutes the Holocaust and shamefully compared it to slavery.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/63b2122e-1d34-4955-b007-3b9be8a6f5e5/Screen+Shot+2023-06-16+at+10.37.45+PM.png?format=2500w)
The following week, Bens questioned, "Do Zionist exercise a monopoly over Mass Media in the U.S.?" an age-old antisemitic trope often fueled by white supremacists.
In February 2023, it was discovered that Henry Bens distributed antisemitic materials to his students, including photocopies of literature falsely attributing "global power" and "world domination" to the Jewish people as a whole.
Shockingly, students stated on numerous occasions Bens would often perform Nazi salutes, even going as far as saying, "if I was alive during Hitler's time, I would have an interview with him...I would let him share his views." Bens was also quoted for "wanting to remove the blindfold" of indoctrination as students had been lied to regarding the history of the Holocaust and Jewish "world domination." It was later discovered that many students had requested to change classrooms due to his extremist views including, but not limited to antisemitism, homophobia, and sexism.
Several students approached the school administration multiple times regarding Mr. Bens and were left unsatisfied by the silence and failure to act. A teacher confirmed and reiterated concerns to administration but they repeatedly stated they could not do anything about Bens' curriculum because of "academic freedom" and they "can't do anything to discipline him because the union will protect him." As a result, students began organizing efforts to combat these antisemitic teachings. Outrageously, school and district officials criticized the students' initiative, claiming they exceeded authorized actions and canceling all planned events. District officials offered to hold an event on Holocaust Remembrance Day, but there was only a moment of silence scheduled for Holocaust victims, and then the event was othered as a "multicultural day."
Finally, after tremendous outcry from students, parents, and faculty, the administration at Mt. Eden High School placed Henry Bens on academic leave. However, it was discovered he was and is still actively on paid leave!

True See Allah - aka Troy Christopher Watson
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/mrgxod7wd7t6yjdguu4b35m90lutxt
True-See Allah, known previously as Troy Christopher Watson, is the Director for Community Engagement with the Boston District Attorney's office who was recently discovered to be a devoted follower and advocate of the former "Antisemite of the Week," Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), a Black supremacist and designated hate organization known for promoting antisemitism.
Despite Farrakhan's antisemitic and hate filled rhetoric, Allah has openly admired him, referring to him as the "undisputed Champion for all of humanity." Shockingly, Allah's membership in the NOI and his support for Farrakhan did not prevent Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden from appointing him in the role tasked with evaluating and responding to community needs.
Allah's career path includes previous positions in the Massachusetts government, such as working in the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department and the state's Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. However, his background is marked by a troubled past, including a conviction for his involvement in a gang-related shooting in 1989 that left the victim paralyzed. After leaving prison, Allah changed his name and joined NOI, becoming a prominent member of the organization and serving as an officer at a Boston NOI mosque.
This past week, a 2016 broadcast featuring True-See Allah espousing antisemitism surfaced. Throughout the interview, Allah praised Farrakhan for his beliefs and referred to a Jewish individual he encountered as a "Jewish guy who's got short arms and deep pockets," perpetuating a stereotype about Jews and their alleged greed.
In a 2022 interview conducted several months after he began his job at the defense attorney's office, Allah expressed his gratitude for NOI for help towards his pardon, his admiration for Farrakhan, and his career goals of connecting NOI "to the top" via his position with the D.A.'s office, a relationship which he says has been hindered by "the misperception from the Jewish community."

Antisemite of the Week: Rasha Abdel Latif
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/antisemite-of-the-week
Jordanian-born Rasha Abdel Latif is Amnesty International's newest U.S. Board member. Harsh criticism of the Board's election of Latif grew after Latif's antisemitic comments surfaced in which she dignified the murder of Jewish Israeli civilians, praised Palestinian rocket attacks, celebrated the escape of convicted terrorists & murderers, insisted Israel doesn't exist, and argued Israel will be expelled from the Middle East.
A mere four days before accepting her new Amnesty role, Latif retweeted a post honoring a deadly terror attack in Tel Aviv. Latif's record of Jew-hatred, support for Palestinian rocket attacks, and the elimination of Israel, litters her social media. Notably, in a 2013 tweet, she wrote: "There is nothing called "Israel" it is Palestine territory"."

In February 2022, Latif retweeted a cartoon showing the land of Israel flicking away the Star of David with Arabic text that reads: "This land does not fit two identities. It's either us - or us."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/35f8e095-235d-495b-82f5-6c37f3f794c0/Rasha+Abdel+Latif+tweet+2.jpg?format=2500w)
In 2014, Latif said Jews are "strangers" to the land and often calls Israel an apartheid state and shares false imagery or footage of a wall barrier that is racist toward Palestinians. She fails to mention that the wall Israel erected is a security checkpoint in direct response to ongoing terror attacks perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists. After the wall was built, bombing attacks have dropped considerably.
In September 2021, Latif retweeted a post by former Palestinian Authority spokesperson Nour Odeh. The post celebrated the escape of Palestinian terrorists from a prison in Israel.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/a797c926-c01d-41a4-b4f1-57183fefcb39/Rasha+Abdel+antisemitic+RT.jpg?format=2500w)
Latif shares support for Palestinian "resistance fighters" and their excessive use of rocket fire against innocent Israeli civilians. In May 2021, she showed support for Hamas' rocket fire aimed to destroy Israel by falsely claiming the attacks were legal under international law.
Perpetuating dialogue that entertains the notion of the dissolution or illegitimacy of the State of Israel inflames tensions and undermines efforts to achieve peaceful resolutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It fosters an environment of intolerance, prejudice, and antisemitism, which goes against the principles of equality and human rights, according to Amnesty International's core values.
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor is deemed antisemitic by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
Agnés Callamard, a previous 'Antisemite of the Week' and Secretary-General of Amnesty International, shamefully morphed Amnesty into a witch-hunt against the world's sole Jewish nation. Amnesty International's record of contributing to antisemitism contradicts the organization's mission of "protecting individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom, and truth are denied."

Jeffrey Perrine: Monetizing Hate
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/jeffrey-perrine-monetizing-hate
Jeffrey Perrine of Sacramento, California is a violent neo-Nazi extremist and former member of the Proud Boys who has become increasingly active in the white supremacist group, Goyim Defense League (GDL). Perrine openly supports Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, spreads antisemitic libels, espouses vile antisemitism, and has a troubling history of harassment and physical assault.
Perrine, a prominent figure in the Sacramento area, has experienced notable challenges in a thus-far unsuccessful attempt at a political career to secure positions on the School Board and State Assembly. His association with the Proud Boys and the revelation of his secret Telegram accounts where he expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime led to his dismissal from a position he held within the Sacramento County GOP Central Committee.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/693dd1ab-be2b-44a3-8244-2d92db4a11d5/Perrine+running+for+office.jpg?format=1500w)
Perrine claims the Proud Boys were infiltrated by the Jews to create chaos and disruption. He continued his rant, stating "Jews are a footnote in history" and went on to promote Nazis for having family values.
Jeffrey Perrine goes by the alias of 'unapologeticallywhite' on social media, where he spreads dangerous libels of Jewish power and control and blames leaders or individuals for being "Jew-pilled" – an antisemitic trope claiming Jews control aspects of the media and government. Perrine's social media posts are filled with vile antisemitic comments referencing the Jewish people. He greets his followers with "hail brother," referencing the phrase "hail Hitler."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/65202abb-b67d-4db9-81a6-fb28c3bb38b4/Hail+Brother.jpg?format=1500w)
Perrine has close ties to GDL leader Jon Minadeo II, who has been featured twice as StopAntisemitism's 'Antisemite of the Week' for his grotesque antisemitic actions towards the Jewish community. In June of 2023, Minadeo praised Perrine for his involvement with the ongoing antisemitic call-ins to Walnut City Council meetings in which there was a string of harassment towards the Jewish community involving propaganda and tropes of "Jewish control of the media." Perrine joined members of White Lives Matter and GDL last month to distribute antisemitic propaganda throughout various cities, bragging on a voice memo of his involvement.
Despite the innocent image he attempts to display in his political aspirations, Perrine has a violent past. In 2018, Perrine was taped at a Portland protest engaging in the violent beating of a jogger who challenged Perrine and other Proud Boys' views. He was later arrested when he took a bullhorn and stated that illegal immigrants should have their "heads smashed into the concrete." While running for a local government position in Sacramento, Perrine was taped making verbal threats and physical advances towards his opponent. In March of 2023, Perrine was arrested for harassing and stalking a pastor at his place of work. As he was arrested, he continually called the arresting officers "ZOGbots," a term related to the conspiracy theory known as "ZOG" or "Zionist Occupied Government," asserting that the U.S. Government is controlled by Jews.

Jeffrey Perrine currently runs a digital clothing shop where he sells merchandise featuring swastikas, images of Adolf Hitler, and other prominent figures from the Nazi Party. He uses Telegram to advertise these items to his followers and other neo-Nazis. One of his popular merch items features the slogan "White Boy Summer" with an image of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler driving a car with Nazi symbols.

Elijah Schaffer - Sexual Predator and Bigot
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/elijah-schaffer-sexual-predator-and-bigot
Elijah Schaffer is a radical political commentator and host of the 'Slightly Offensive' podcast, where he hosts vile antisemites and spreads dangerous conspiracy theories against the Jewish people to his nearly one million social media followers. Schaffer gained notoriety when he began to clash over his controversial reporting style with his then-boss Glenn Beck of The Blaze. Amid the ongoing controversy, Schaffer was hit with a sexual assault allegation that led to his dismissal from Glenn Beck and Blaze Media.
On multiple occasion Schaffer has invited Jew-hater Nick Fuentes on his podcast. Fuentes was named StopAntisemitism's "Antisemite of the Week" for his leadership in the 'Groyper Army', a neo-Nazi organization that espouses antisemitic rhetoric against the American Jewish community. Fuentes is also a Holocaust denier who pushes Kanye West's Jew-hatred across college campuses.
In October 2022, after Kanye threatened to go "Death con 3" on the Jewish people, Elijah Schaffer chastised those who censored Kanye's threats as it hindered any room for a "healthy public debate." He contributed to a series of tweets that mocked American Jews who took offense to being physically threatened by the disgraced rapper.
During an episode of The Blaze's "You Are Here," Schaffer criticized foreign influence in U.S. politics, including countries like Qatar, China, and Russia. However, he also mentioned the nonexistent "Zionist Movement of America" as a sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and accused Israel of exploiting "the greed of Americans." By including Israel in his discussion of foreign influence, Schaffer perpetuated the dangerous antisemitic trope of Jewish and Israeli control over U.S. policy.
In August 2022, weeks before his firing from Blaze Media, Schaffer hosted a panel of racist and antisemitic guests. The three delved into gross racial stereotypes of various marginalized groups. The men spoke about Jewish bakeries and media involvement where one host said, "they love ovens." Schaffer responded, "Why do you think I work here? If you want to get into media, who are you going to work for?" He followed with, "Keep your inner circle white so your sh*t doesn't get stolen."
Elijah Schaffer's antisemitism is not limited to his podcast; examples of his anti-Jewish bigotry include:
- In February 2021, Schaffer tweeted, "Remember when Hitler and the Jews had different cultural norms?"
- In August 2022, in response to StopAntisemitism linking the Parkland Shooter's motivation to Jew-hatred, Schaffer responded, "spinning this killing into antisemitism mocks both the victims of this killing & real antisemitism."
- In February 2023, in response to Palestinians training children soldiers to murder Israelis, Schaffer compared Israelis to Nazis by tweeting, "If any white country treated POC the way Israelis treat Palestinians, they'd be called Nazis."

Most shockingly, last week Schaffer asked his 624,000 followers on Twitter if they believed that "Jews disproportionately control the world institutions, banks, & are waging war on white, western society?" Nearly two million Twitter users viewed the tweet with more than 94,000 votes being cast, and as of Friday 49.5% voted "Yes, 100%" and 22.3% voted "Yes, it's complicated."

Throughout the global pandemic, Elijah Schaffer made a habit of comparing COVID-19 regulations to the Holocaust, including:
- In August 2020, LAPD were called to the house party of an influencer at a time when public gatherings were encouraged to be minimal. Schaffer tweeted, "These people would have reported the Jews to the Gestapo."
- In December 2021, the Illinois Holocaust Museum announced their requirements of COVID-19 vaccination cards for their visitors. Schaffer tweeted them with the caption, "Are Jews allowed in without papers?"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/8pejaedckehtknpp9czdbnz1kt6vel
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) is a Democratic Presidential candidate for the 2024 election and the third son of former U.S. Attorney General & Senator Robert F. Kennedy. RFK Jr. has veered sharply away from his father's legacy of unwavering support for the Jewish people and their homeland, choosing instead to embrace the bitter taste of antisemitism in his rhetoric and actions. Upon entering the 2024 presidential election, RFK Jr. appeared to be participating in an 'apology tour' for these actions. Unfortunately, the damage – of vile Jew-hatred through the guise of age-old conspiracies – has been done.
In 2015, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Louis Farrakhan and hailed him a "truly great partner" for his involvement in pushing vaccine theories targeting African Americans. In 2019, Farrakhan was named StopAntisemitism's 'Antisemite of the Week' for his atrocious antisemitic rhetoric of calling Jews "termites," blaming them for the slave trade, making false references to "Jewish power," and claiming the modern Jewish people are "fake Jews."
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/b4fe165e-3a66-4489-991d-de7e43ab6c89/WhatsApp+Image+2023-07-21+at+12.36.39.jpg?format=1500w)
Kennedy later continued to collaborate with the Nation of Islam on vaccine issues and claimed he was not aware of Farrakhan's history of antisemitism at the time. However, his private diary revealed contradictory statements, expressing concerns about Farrakhan's antisemitic views as he describes his disillusionment with civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, writing: "His [Jackson's] love affair with Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia are also unforgivable." Kennedy claimed to have cut ties with the Nation of Islam after learning of Farrakhan's comments about Jews, but in 2021 Kennedy hosted Tony Muhammad, a Nation of Islam official, to discuss an unfounded claim that scientists were conducting harmful experiments on black Americans through vaccinations.
RFK Jr. also defended Roger Waters who was crowned StopAntisemitism's "Antisemite of the Week" last month for his continued antisemitism online and throughout his concerts. After Jewish organizations condemned Waters' actions and speech on Jewish "power" and "control," RFK Jr. tweeted: "Roger You are the global hero Orwell had in mind when he said "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" The high priests of the totalitarian orthodoxies are trying to silence you with censorship, gaslighting and defamation. Please keep speaking truth to power!" Kennedy quickly deleted the tweet and attempted to claim his words were in reference to the COVID-19 vaccine.

On July 15, 2023, video https://url.emailprotection.link/?b4p77qYzp3JNYeRJv-7y7JUepWVRUJPE92mrSj8dv66B8laPeDdUgCyHZ_2Lx2v7QTf3qXb0-v1i1jBf3-hquQy95uSVlSMdPCHtl2zXjtR4htkFndmvcsI6OXO6vidiF-HRTLL_UH_EuAbqjG39lBLNT6m7LupaBIfeEPs0Kf5v4XxP0GY91MfxvO68Za9i6A_mjF2xcyPvM70UiUMvHqQ~~ surfaced of Kennedy discussing a disproven claim between COVID-19 and the Jewish people. In the footage Kennedy states, "COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese." Jewish organizations, the Democratic party, and even members of the Kennedy family were quick to dismiss RFK Jr's., words as antisemitic.
For centuries, Jews have been at the center of conspiracy theories related to pandemics, wars, slavery, and economic status. The notion that Jews bear the blame for diseases or are somehow immune to their effects harkens back to the medieval period. As with the anti-Jewish conspiracies of the past, there is zero evidence to support RFK Jr.'s claims about COVID-19's connection to the Jewish people.
On July 20th, 2023, Kennedy testified during the House Judiciary hearing of censorship and claimed, "I want to say this, while I'm on the record, that in my entire life and, while I'm under oath, in my entire life, I have never uttered a phrase that was either racist, or antisemitic." According to documented statements of his in the past, this is simply false. For example:
- Just weeks before Kennedy made this declaration in the House, he met with the vile anti-Jewish rapper, Ice Cube. In June 2020, Ice Cube was named StopAntisemitism's 'Antisemite of the Week' for supporting the beliefs of the radicalized hate group 'The Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI). 'The BHI sect maintains that today's Jews are religious converts who descended from the Khazars, with no historical connection to the land of Israel.
- In 2022, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued an apology for his remarks insinuating that the conditions under the COVID-19 restrictions and mandates were more severe than those endured by Anne Frank's experiences during the Holocaust. In response, his wife, actor Cheryl Hines, tweeted separately, distancing herself from his statement and calling it "reprehensible and insensitive.
- On June 5, 1968, Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian who held strong anti-Zionist beliefs assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Sirhan murdered the Senator over his open support of the State of Israel. RFK Jr. wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that he denies that Sirhan is responsible for the death of his father.

Ian Smith
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/ian-smith
Ian Smith, the former owner of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, NJ, gained notoriety for allocating over a million dollars in fines and over 60 citations for illegal activities pertaining to his business interactions. As he began to grow in his online presence, his staunch antisemitic views, tweets promoting violence, and continuous criminal activities began to surface.
In 2021, Smith announced his candidacy for Congress in New Jersey's 3rd District. However, Smith's campaign was quickly overshadowed by his two DUI incidents, with the most recent one leading to his arrest on charges of driving under the influence, refusing to take a breath test, and reckless and careless driving. Smith had previously been involved in a drunk driving crash in 2007, which resulted in the death of a 19-year-old student named Kevin Ade.
Throughout Smith's social media posts, he often touts the false antisemitic trope of Jewish 'power.' For example:
- In 2022, Smith tweeted: "There is no American government, only a mafia controlled by bankers. (Guess what kind of bankers)."
- In February 2023, he tweeted: "Communism is not our biggest threat, the cooperation between powerful global corporations and a political oligarchy backed by Zionist bankers is the cause of almost every problem in our lives."
- In June of 2023, Smith tweeted, "How come when I criticize the American government, Americans don't take it as a personal attack but when I criticize Israel and powerful Zionists, Jewish people take it personally?"
Ian Smith continued his tirade against Jewish 'control' by tweeting, "Americans on any part of the political spectrum are being fu--ing played. We are witnessing little more than political theatre. The [Jewish] elite have pitted us against each other while they continue to laugh their way to the bank, solidifying their stranglehold over our way of life."
Ian Smith has also tweeted on multiple occasions questioning dual loyalty and citizenship of American Jews. This insinuates that Jews are somehow separate from the rest of society, fostering an "us vs. them" mentality and perpetuates feelings of exclusion and distrust that Jews cannot be loyal citizens to the country they live in.
Smith's ongoing Jew hatred is broadcasted throughout his social media postings. Examples include:
- In similar vein to the white supremacist group, the Goyim Defense League (GDL), who roam the country spreading hundreds of antisemitic pamphlets, Smith contends that the "trans agenda" is a deliberate part of a Jewish 'scheme.'
- In July 2023, Ian Smith repeated the dangerous claim that Israel and the Jews were behind the horrific terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
- A few days later he tweeted, about a "parasitic" people who were the cause of WWI and WWII and their agenda to make the world "less white." Throughout history, vile antisemites have used the phrase "parasite" to describe the Jewish people.
- Smith often downplays the evils of Hitler and Nazi Germany by comparing them to other atrocities in history. He mocked the seriousness of antisemitism with a graphic that says, "when you are worse than the Nazis but nobody cares because you flooded western academia with your useful idiots."

Khaliq Raufi
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/khaliq-raufi
Khaliq Raufi is an Afghan refugee residing in San Diego who was recently appointed to the San Diego County "Human Relations Commission" by County Supervisor Joel Anderson. The 31-member commission is intended to promote positive human relations, respect, and the integrity of every individual regardless of gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, or citizenship status. Though the Commission was reinstated in response to the antisemitic attack at the Chabad of Poway in 2019, no individuals were appointed to represent the Jewish community.
During a July 18th meeting, Khaliq Raufi completely disregarded the Commission's goals when he embarked on an antisemitic rant accusing the Jewish people of murdering Palestinians.
Raufi claimed he read "a few verses" in the Old Testament Book of Deuteronomy - calling it "the book of Jews" - claiming it "states to go kill Palestinians." He continued to outrageously claim those instructions to kill were being taught in synagogues.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/d1d0a382-1942-416a-b3bc-a7a3f19abb17/Screen+Shot+2023-08-03+at+5.42.10+PM.jpg?format=1500w)
In fact, Deuteronomy recounts the Jews wandering in the desert after fleeing Egypt and their ultimate entry into Israel. Khaliq Raufi's comments were reported as a "hate incident" and after uproar from the community he subsequently resigned from his position, claiming the Commission was "no longer a safe space for people to express their beliefs."
Not surprisingly, this incident wasn't Khaliq Raufi's first dive into the antisemitism pool. A simple search of his social media identifies a plethora of antisemitic posts vilifying both the Jewish nation and people.
For example, in several Facebook posts in 2021, Khaliq Raufi spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories claiming Jews run the media. He also referred to Israel's Prime Minister as "Hitler" and often referred to the Jewish people as "apartheid Jewish gangsters."

Christopher Pohlhaus
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/antisemite-of-the-week-christopher-pohlhaus
Christopher Alan Pohlhaus, who calls himself "The Hammer," is an ex-Marine and neo-Nazi who leads the white nationalist group, the Blood Tribe. Based in Maine, Pohlhaus operates various Telegram channels notorious for disseminating genocidal and neo-Nazi content. He is heavily armed and openly associates with white supremacists in their mission to construct an ethno-state. He has also confessed to vandalizing numerous businesses with neo-Nazi materials.
The Blood Tribe is an extremist group operating through semi-autonomous branches in the U.S. and Canada, espousing aggressive white supremacist ideologies and openly targeting Jews, nonwhites, and the LGBTQ+ community. In 2020, the group hung dozens of white supremacist banners across the country and posted a photo of himself to social media of him stepping on the Israeli flag.

As his following expanded, Pohlhaus organized private white supremacist gatherings, evolving into formal Blood Tribe "membership ceremonies." In 2023, Blood Tribe members engaged in anti-LGBTQ+ protests, wearing uniforms and masks while displaying swastika flags, making Hitler salutes, and hurling racist and anti-LGBTQ+ insults.

Pohlhaus is also a well-known white supremacist tattoo artist who claimed a comfortable income from his work in San Antonio before relocating to Maine. In July 2022, in a now deleted thread, he posted a photo of a skull-and-bones tattoo he inked on two-time 'Antisemite of the Week' Jon Minadeo's arm. This skull-and-bones design, known as Totenkopf, was appropriated by the Nazis and is a popular symbol among white supremacist groups.
Pohlhaus has also allied with Denis Kapustin, a Ukrainian neo-Nazi, violent rioter, and paramilitary leader. Kapustin appeared in a podcast with Pohlhaus and discussed his plans to establish a neo-Nazi pipeline of volunteer soldiers from the U.S. to Ukraine.
Pohlhaus is currently leading a movement to bring neo-Nazis to Maine for the purpose of establishing a white ethno-state, which he portrays as a "peaceful project." However, a leaked video shows Pohlhaus discussing how to target and shoot truckers in sniper operations to disrupt the United States' supply chain. Pohlhaus promotes violent accelerationism, an ideology advocating terrorism to expedite the collapse of governments.

Aziza Zahran
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/aziza-zahran
Aziza Zahran is a child disability specialist in the state of New York who actively displays her antisemitism and extreme views toward Jews and Israel on her social media.
She has advocated for the death of Jews and the State of Israel, praised Hitler, compared Israel to Nazi Germany, and justified violence against Israelis. Zahran's online presence includes usernames like "IsisLayla2" on Twitter and "Isis Layla" on Facebook. Zahran is also a staunch supporter of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and has affiliations with the violent Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group.
Examples of Zahran's bigoted posts:
- On November 16, 2012, Zahran tweeted: "I WISH HITLER WOULD HAVE FINISHED WHAT HE STARTED! IF HE ONLY KNEW WHAT SAVAGES THE JEWS WOULD BECOME!" She followed her tweet with the following response: "I DO NOT GIVE A SINGLE SH*T ABOUT WHO THEY JEWS WERE, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PALESTINIANS. #DEATH2ISRAEL&JEWS"
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/v0Q5L
- On November 17, 2012, Zahran tweeted: "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, death to Israel death to Jews on judgment day you will lose."
https://ghostarchive.org/archive/hzlNy
- On November 17, 2012, Zahran tweeted: "The Jews don't like #LouisFarrakhan, so they call him Hitler. Well, that's a good name, Hitler was a great man #LouisFarrakhan." Louis Farrakhan is a former recipient of StopAntisemitism's 'Antisemite of the Week.' https://ghostarchive.org/archive/BEGJA
- On May 6, 2021, Zahran tweeted: "Are the #Jewish people the only people that can use the word #holocaust to describe the horrible human rights violations that #Nazis did to them? I'm using the word holocaust to describe the violations of human rights #Israel is doing to #Palestinians in #Gaza & all of #Palestine" https://ghostarchive.org/archive/eHyUE
- On May 10, 2021, Zahran tweeted: "Just to be clear. Israel is not a country or state, it's a colonialist imperialist power killing indigenous people to steal their land, Stop naming it. Stop validating it's (sic) existence #Israel cannot and we will not allow it to exist this way Boycott it. Disarm it..." https://ghostarchive.org/archive/kqURg

Encouraging the boycott of Israeli products, downplaying the events of the Holocaust, advocating violence against Jews, comparing Jews to Nazis, and calling for Israel's destruction all violate the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. These alarming and indefensible posts reveal a damaged character unfit to care for Jewish children.
As of June 2022, Zahran's LinkedIn profile indicated her roles as a Care Manager at the Children's Health Home of Catholic Charities of Onondaga County and a Children's Support Specialist at AccessCNY.

Nicholas Bysheim
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/nicholas-bysheim
Nicholas Alan Bysheim better known as "Jehu" is a 33-year-old male from Lusby, Maryland, and is currently traveling the country harassing Jewish communities alongside Jon Minadeo II and their white supremacist brotherhood, the Goyim Defense League (GDL). GDL members are collectively known for distributing thousands of antisemitic flyers throughout various neighborhoods nationwide and hanging banners along major highways that make mendacious claims about the Jewish people.
Nicholas Bysheim first appeared in the media during his arrest in November 2022 for littering antisemitic materials throughout a Rhode Island town. A few weeks later on New Year's Eve, StopAntisemitism identified Bysheim as the accomplice of Jon Minadeo during a slew of anti-Jewish projections of buildings throughout the state of Florida. A swastika was projected onto a building in downtown Boca Raton; "Hitler was Right," "The Holocaust Never Happened," and "Vax the Jews" were projected onto buildings in Orlando. A week after these incidents, Bysheim was arrested for resisting an officer in Palm Beach after he was found littering antisemitic materials. When he failed to identify himself, Bysheim was taken into police custody.

In February 2023, Bysheim, Minadeo, and a dozen other members of the GDL harassed Jewish members attending Shabbat services in Orlando. The group hurled hundreds of antisemitic slurs and tropes as members arrived at the Chabad. Bysheim and others filmed themselves giving Hitler salutes and holding grotesque signs that falsely accused Israel and the Jewish people for societal issues.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/ce6b83fd-0b0f-4440-9d30-9d6aa46179ed/Jehu.png?format=1500w)
On March 11, 2023, Bysheim and several other members of the GDL were cited in Palm Beach for littering antisemitic literature to dozens of homes in West Palm Beach. A few days later on March 18th, Bysheim was cited again when nearly 500 anti-Jewish leaflets were discovered throughout West Palm Beach neighborhoods. As he was harassing the arresting officers, he was filmed ranting the following antisemitic phrases:
- "Why are your bosses allowed to suck baby penises?"
- "Why is it in their Talmud that they are allowed to molest children?"
- "All of your f**king Jew bosses are going to be ejected to f**king Israel and then Iran is going to nuke the sh*t out of it.
- "Heil f**ing Hitler. White power."
This ongoing unwarranted harassment against the Jewish people spurred legislators in Florida to introduce HB269. The bill would prohibit individuals from distributing materials onto private property with the intention of intimidating or threatening property owners, residents, or visitors, while also making it illegal to willfully and maliciously harass, threaten, or intimidate others based on their religious or ethnic heritage indicators. The bill will require that such violations be reported as hate crimes, will prevent the display or projection of images onto structures or property without permission, and will avert individuals who enter state university or Florida College System campuses with the intent to threaten or intimidate from remaining after receiving a warning to depart.
On April 28, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB259 into law making it a jailable offense if a violation occurs. On May 5, 2023, Bysheim was arrested in court after the State Attorney's office announced their intent to prosecute two misdemeanor charges against him. The charges stem from Bysheim's illegal dumping of antisemitic literature on private property in West Palm Beach, Florida while he was on bail for previous offenses. The State's Attorney's Office was seeking a punishment of 364 days in Palm Beach County Jail. Unfortunately, Judge Marni Bryson handed Bysheim a 12 month probation charge and he was released from police custody.

As a member of GDL, Brown has engaged in a number of antisemitic campaigns. In 2021, he participated in the "Name the Nose" tour, which was designed to harass and mock Jewish individuals through a series of trolling and pranks. Brown has been filmed on multiple occasions engaging in acts of desecration towards the Israeli flag, including burning it, spitting on it, and dragging it on the ground with his foot. He is also the face behind the "Rise of the JEWnicorn" tour, where he dresses in a bright pink unicorn costume and parades across Florida beaches with a sign that states, "The Holocaust is As Fake as This Unicorn."

As of May 2023, Brown was awaiting trial in Florida on three charges: felony battery by strangulation, tamper in felony life, and contempt of court misdemeanor. On January 29, 2022, Brown, along with two others, were involved in an orchestrated and violent antisemitic incident during a National Socialist Movement (NSM) neo-Nazi rally in Orlando, Florida. The event was marred by Brown's chants of "No More Jews" and "White Power," accompanied by Hitler salutes and signs displaying hateful messages such as "Jews Aren't White" and "It's Okay to be Antisemitic" – a stark illustration of bigotry. The trio physically attacked a Jewish student named David Newstat, who was punched, spat on, and pepper-sprayed after Brown took notice of Newstat's Israeli flag license plate cover.
The following day, on January 30, 2022, the group raised Nazi flags and displayed banners over an Orlando freeway overpass, displaying offensive messages like "Vax the Jews" along with swastikas and references to the GDL website.
On February 4, 2022, the Orange County (Florida) Sheriff's Department arrested the three participants — Jason Brown, Joshua Terrell, and NSM's Burt Colucci — for their central roles in the antisemitic hate crime against David Newstat on January 29. All three were charged with battery along with a hate crime enhancement amplifying the gravity of the offense. Brown faced additional charges of grand theft for the act of stealing and destroying Newstat's cell phone. His bond was denied after a judge recognized his pending unrelated charges, underscoring the seriousness of his actions beyond the antisemitic rally incident.

On August 23, 2023, Jason Brown was arrested once again and charged with domestic battery, aggravated assault by strangulation, and felony tampering. This is Brown's second recorded instance of strangulation.

Omar Toppin
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/omar-toppin
Omar Andres Toppin Sr., a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, has gained notoriety for his affiliation with the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI), a fringe religious hate group known for its extremist rhetoric and promotion of antisemitic beliefs. The BHI movement espouses the false notion that Black Americans are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites while portraying modern-day Jews as impostors who have stolen the religious heritage of Black people.
BHI's rejection of accepted definitions of Judaism has led to real-world violence, such as the Jersey City shootings at JC Kosher Supermarket, where two BHI members killed a police officer and three civilians in a gun battle. Toppin believes that the deadly shooting was a false flag operation.

Toppin's public statements and social media activity have raised significant concerns about his antisemitic views. On October 8, 2020, he tweeted the phrase "The respect that the Synagogue of Satan receives.....," a well-known antisemitic trope pushed by Jew-hating Louis Farrakhan, stemming from a misquoted verse in Book of Revelation. This phrase is often used by BHI members to delegitimize the Jewish faith and lay claim to being the "real" Jews.
In a September 29, 2020 tweet, Toppin suggested a conspiracy theory linking the Rothschild family to the idea that "Jews control the world's money supply." Such baseless accusations have fueled antisemitic sentiments for centuries.

Toppin also promoted the "Khazar myth," which falsely claims that the Jews of today are not descended from the ancient Israelites but from the Khazar people. This myth has been widely discredited by historians and is used to deny Jews' historical connection to the Land of Israel.
Toppin has made derogatory comments about Jews in the music industry, insinuating that they control it for nefarious purposes. He falsely claimed that the Holocaust and the transatlantic slave trade were linked, citing exaggerated death tolls and implying that reparations should be sought for the latter. These views are rooted in conspiracy theories and have been debunked by credible historians, including Eli Faber, who refuted the claims made in the Nation of Islam's book "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews." Toppin once again perpetuates the false idea that government-run agencies are controlled by so-called Khazar Jews. Furthermore, Toppin has engaged in Holocaust denial, a deeply offensive and historically inaccurate stance.
Furthermore, Toppin has engaged in Holocaust denial, a deeply offensive and historically inaccurate stance. He questioned the authenticity of the Holocaust, even going so far as to cast doubt on the number of Jewish victims and implying that it was exaggerated or fabricated.

Mahmoud Abbas https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-11/mahmoud-abbas
Mahmoud Abbas, the 87-year-old President of the Palestinian National Authority, is currently in his 18th year of his four-year term. Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, assumed office in 2005 following the death of Yasser Arafat, who recruited Abbas to join the Fatah party back in the 1950s. Fatah is one of two major parties that rule over the Palestinian people, the other being Hamas. Like Hamas, Fatah is a corrupt terror movement where funds and humanitarian aid that were designed for the Palestinian people are instead used to line the pockets of the members of the Palestinian government.

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (Left) and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Right)
Mahmoud Abbas has a long and atrocious history of antisemitism. His dissertation for his doctorate in history at the Moscow Institute of Orientalism in 1982 was titled "The Secret Relationship between Nazism and the Zionist Movement" and included a passage casting doubt on the accuracy of the six million Jewish Holocaust victims figure for "Zionist" gain. Abbas would continue these antisemitic conspiracies several more times.
In 2016, he had to retract statements in his speech to the Parliament of European Union where he suggested that rabbis were poisoning Palestinian water. He clarified that he did not intend to offend Jews, but he only walked back the claim after Israel and Jewish organizations accused him of promoting antisemitic blood libels that have been used for centuries to wage violence against the Jewish people.

Palestinian President Abbas falsely claims in front of the EU Parliament that Israeli Rabbis poison Palestinian wells
In 2018, Mahmoud Abbas was forced to apologize for suggesting that the historic persecution of European Jews was linked to their conduct, not their religion. His statements were drawn from various books and claims that antisemitism stemmed from Jewish involvement in usury and banking, including his own dissertation on Holocaust denial.
In 2022, during the 50th anniversary of the Munich Olympics, a journalist asked Abbas if he would apologize for the tragic events of 1972 when Palestinian gunmen – affiliated with Fatah – took the Israeli team hostage and brutally murdered 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, and a West German policeman; Abbas refused. In fact, the autobiography of the late Mohammed Oudeh, better known as Abu Daoud, named Abbas as one of the three senior officials of Fatah who assisted Daoud in planning the Munich massacre.
Earlier this month, Abbas once again expressed antisemitic comments in front of a national audience. He exhibited denial of the Holocaust's historical reality and made remarks about the Jewish experience being linked to their historic role as money lenders rather than out of Hitler's animosity toward the Jewish people.
"These people [Jews] were fought because of their social function related to money, usury," Abbas said in the speech. "From Hitler's point of view, they were sabotaging, and therefore he hated them."
During the same speech, he revived a dangerous conspiracy theory often used by white supremacists that European Ashkenazi Jews were not descended from ancient Israelites but rather from 8th-century converts among the Khazars, a nomadic Turkic people. He contended that European Jews murdered under Hitler were not Semitic people.

Lauren Witzke https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-12/lauren-witzke
Delaware native Lauren Witzke is a convicted drug trafficker and failed Congressional candidate who actively misuses her platform to spread dangerous antisemitic conspiracy theories to her thousands of social media followers. Witzke has previously voiced her support for the QAnon conspiracy group, a belief system identified by the FBI as a potential domestic terrorism threat. QAnon openly advocates and pushes the belief that Jewish elites control facets of the government, banking, media, and Hollywood. Many members of the fanatical group believe the Holocaust never happened or was grossly exaggerated.
Witzke has also been associated with white nationalists and antisemites, as evidenced by her public expression of gratitude to StopAntisemitism's former 'Antisemite of the Week' Nick Fuentes following her nomination for Congress. Fuentes actively promotes Kanye West's antisemitic rhetoric and openly questions the accuracy of historical accounts related to the Holocaust.

Witzke's antisemitism runs rampant on Twitter, such as:
- In the summer of 2023, Witzke insinuated that Israel was behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy as an explanation as to why his nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK), has been under scrutiny for troubling remarks about the Jewish people.
- On February 24, 2023, Witzke claimed that neo-Nazi John Minadeo II was a "fed plant sent to provoke DeSantis into signing the antisemitism hate speech law."
- In August of 2023, Witzke questioned Governor's DeSantis motive for visiting Israel while also signing Florida HB269, which protects the Jewish communities against antisemitic attacks. Witzke tweeted, "Who does this guy really work for?"
- Witzke pushes the antisemitic notion that the Jewish people killed Jesus to her audience on Twitter. This slander against the Jewish people has been used to wage wars and violence against the Jewish people for centuries.
Witzke's disdain for Israel is evident on social media, often with severe antisemitic undertones:
- In August of 2023, Witzke praised Vivek Ramaswamy for wanting to cut federal funding to Israel. She tweeted, "It takes guts to stand up against the globalist neocons."
- In several tweets, Witzke touts the antisemitic trope of "dual loyalty," which has been a source of violent Jew hatred for centuries. She claimed, "the dual citizens are gaining seats in US Congress" and tweeted, "no more dual loyalties" to the "Israeli handlers."
- On September 10, 2023, Witzke tweeted the dangerous conspiracy that falsely pushes the "Dancing Israelis" theory, claiming Israel was behind the horrendous terror attacks of 9/11. The next day she doubled down on her false claims tweeting, "Reminder that they covered up the Israeli attacks on the USS Liberty because they didn't want to our greatest ally. It appears they covered up their involvement again on 9/11."
- Earlier this year, Witzke tweeted, "Kevin McCarthy is flying to Israel to address their Knesset. It seems McCarthy is going to get his orders from his real masters."

Jackson Hinkle
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-13/jackson-hinkle
Jackson Hinkle, a self-proclaimed "pro-Russian American patriot Marxist-Leninist" grifter has generated thousands in profits by capitalizing on the tragic events of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel. He has been appropriately labeled a Putin and Hamas enthusiast and has faced bans from WhatsApp, YouTube, Paypal, and Twitch for spreading misinformation. Despite these bans, he has gained notoriety as one of the most viral users on X/Twitter.
Hinkle, who alleges that he has been silenced by a "corrupt cabal of elite leadership," turned his attention to Twitter to spew his misinformation. On the morning of October 7 he had 417,000 followers; since then, his audience has surged to 2.3 million. Capitalizing on his newfound popularity, he offered a premium subscription to those supporting his mission to "DEFEAT THE ZIONIST LIES." His content has garnered significant profits from advertising, largely attributed to support from Hamas and its sympathizers.
On social media Hinkle openly discusses dangeours conspiracy theories and produces anti-Israel and antisemitic propaganda on an extensive scale. In a post that garnered over five million views, Hinkle claimed that Israel lied about the October 7 events. He asserted that only 900 people died, half of whom were Israeli soldiers. He denied gruesome details, stating that babies were not beheaded, and Israeli soldiers were respectfully taken to morgues by Hamas. Hinkle claims he used his data from an investigation from Haaretz. The reputable news source quickly shut down this lie.

Hinkle has also falsely claimed that video footage depicted Israel bombing hospitals, only to later delete the post when it was revealed that the footage was from an infirmary in Aleppo dating back to 2016.
Furthermore, Hinkle shared footage of a Palestinian prisoner alleging that his arms were broken in an Israeli prison, a claim promptly debunked as false. Additionally, he drew inappropriate comparisons, likening a photo of IDF members to Hamas terrorists as equivalent to ISIS executing Christians.

Hinkle has also established connections with white supremacist figure Nick Fuentes, a former 'Antisemite of the Week.' Fuentes came into the spotlight after he became the campaign manager for our 2022 'Antisemite of the Year' Kanye West.
Adding to the controversy, Hinkle sells merchandise on his website under the name "Zionist Tears" - a product that perpetuates and profits from antisemitic sentiments. In his pursuit of promoting his Jew-hating rhetoric, Hinkle actively campaigns and raises funds through GiveSendGo.

Dave Farina
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-13/dave-farina
Dave Farina, a self-proclaimed science guru, has recently generated outrage on X (formerly Twitter) by taking a grotesque and antisemitic stance against Israel and vehemently denying any wrongdoing by Hamas against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023.
One day after Hamas invaded Israel to slaughter and sexually mutilate Israelis, Farina tweeted, "If you feel the need to tweet about one innocent dead woman in a truck but have never tweeted about the thousands of innocent Palestinians who are brutally murdered on a daily basis under an illegal military occupation, you are part of the problem."
We learned this "innocent dead woman" was Shani Louk, a young woman who was kidnapped, murdered, and whose lifeless body was paraded through the streets of Gaza as Palestinian men cheered, spit on, and beat her corpse with sticks. Fractions of her skull were later found and returned to Israel after terrorists preyed on the emotions of her family and promised she was still alive.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/5faa6a65-5b82-4f4a-af06-cf6bfa96f305/Dave-Farina-StopAntisemitism-Shani-Louk.png?format=1500w)
On October 9, 2023, Farina shared a series of tweets that read, "If Israel didn't dehumanize Palestinians, Hamas wouldn't exist, that's the f**king point. They exist BECAUSE of the blockade. The colonizers. The brutality...use your brain."
He quickly transitioned into a Hamas apologist and claimed that Hamas did not do anything egregious and if there were any signs of aggression, Israel was to blame. On October 12, 2023, Farina shared, "Most of what you're hearing about Hamas is fabricated, and whatever isn't doesn't amount to 0.1% of what Israel has done to Palestine over the past 75 years. Get your priorities straight. They're under a military occupation. The radicalization is Israel's fault."
Dave Farina is also a rape denier. On January 3, 2024, Farina claimedthere were no Israelis raped on October 7th. He then falsely stated that it was the IDF that raped Palestinians "all the time." The next day, Farina doubled down on his claims by saying, "...I know that Israel is lying literally always. They are manufacturing consent for genocide by fabricating "beheaded babies" and rape and countless other things. Sorry."

Over the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday, Palestinian protestors targeted the president of AIPAC's home; throwing smoke grenades at his house, pouring fake blood, and placing fake baby body bags on his driveway. In response to this, Farina tweeted an antisemitic trope that insinuated Jewish control and influence while openly threatening the life of the Jewish executive. He stated, "He should be in prison with a death sentence, so stop sh*tting your pants over this."

John Cusack
https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week-13/john-cusack
John Cusack is an American actor, writer, and producer who actively engages in antisemitic slander targeting the Jewish people and nation. A quick glance at his X account (formerly Twitter) reveals a feed riddled with blood libels and antisemitic tropes. From retweeting comparisons of the Jewish people and white supremacists to denying the atrocities by Hamas of October 7th, this title of 'Antisemite of the Week' is long overdue.
In 2019, John Cusack publicly apologized for sharing a grotesque comic that featured an antisemitic trope of 'Jewish control.' The image depicts a hand, adorned with the Star of David, squashing a group of people. It included the quote, 'To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.' Although often misattributed to Voltaire, the quote is actually from white supremacist Kevin Strom. Cusack captioned the post with 'follow the money.' Initially, Cusack tried to place the blame on a 'bot.' However, under mounting pressure, the actor eventually issued a public apology for his actions.
(https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cc20f51ca525b73bdd50e3a/c0dc58c7-8b80-41f1-a782-20298d46b0ba/john-cusack-anti-semitic-tweet-800w.jpg?format=1500w)
On October 7th, Hamas infiltrated Israel to carry out one of the most violent massacres and war crimes in modern history. On multiple occasions, Cusack has denied the mass rapes of innocent Israeli civilians, some as young as 12, instead sharing false blood libels accusing the IDF of actively participating in brutal crimes.
Cusack also doubles down on his slander of Israel when it comes to the history of Hamas. In a slew of tweets, the actor has shared the false conspiracy that Hamas was created by Israel:
- On January 17, he retweeted: "Considering Hamas was originally a charity organization funded and supported by Israel. You'll have to ask Netanyahu why he funded and put Hamas in power."
- On January 18, he tweeted: "Your daily reminder Bibi Netanyahu promoted and backed Hamas - to ensure a two-state solution never came to pass."
- On January 20, he retweeted: "Netanyahu built up HAMAS...It's a final solution, HAMAS is just a pawn to blame!!"
On January 20, he retweeted: "Hamas was financed by the Israeli government in an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Authority. Do you understand why #Israel has not found nor destroyed Hamas till now?

John Cusack also falsely attributes white supremacy to the Jewish people and nation:
- On January 24, Cusack appeared outraged Elon Musk visited Auschwitz with Jewish commentator, Ben Shapiro and tweeted: "White supremacy ghoul blows smoke up Musk's ass - your very presence on stage with him is a dig whistle to your white nationalist base."
- In addition to the statement above, Cusack quoted "I thought it was covered by Nazi" when a supporter echoed his remarks on calling Ben Shapiro a "white supremacist."
- Cusack's antisemitism did not stop here. The actor retweeted: "Musk is already in the back pocket of Zionists and X has become the official pro genocide mouthpiece."
- On January 24th Cusack Retweeted: "Zionism is not Judaism. Nobody who opposes Zionist pigs like Netanyahu and his friends are antisemitic...I hate Nazis who wear the star as a badge of racist, blood thirsty terrorism."
Cusack shockingly concluded that he looks at the obituaries of Zionists with "great pleasure."

https://stopantisemitism.org/as-week/ali-jamal-awad-aka-ceo-lawyer/
Ali Jamal Awad, Esq., widely recognized as the 'CEO Lawyer' on social media, is an attorney with a substantial following of nearly two million. Originating from Georgia, Awad allocates his free time espousing his antisemitic views on the Jewish people and nation. His public defense of the group Hamas in his posts raises concerns about his ability to uphold the U.S. Constitution and conduct himself as an attorney in accordance with Georgia law, fostering doubts about his commitment to just and upright practices.
- In November 2023, Ali Awad posted on Instagram: "Zionism is more terroristic than Hamas."
- On January 20, 2023, Awad stated: "Just because Joe Biden calls Hamas and Houthis terrorists doesn't make it true."
- In the same thread, the disgraced lawyer shared: "The real terrorists are the governments of U.S., UK, and Israel."
(https://stopantisemitism.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ceo-lawyer-tweets-on-israel-antisemitic.png)
Ali Awad has continually denied the atrocities that transpired during the Israeli massacre on October 7th, when thousands of Hamas terrorists carried out unspeakable crimes against innocent civilians. On January 15, Awad shared multiple images that denied the murder of babies by Hamas. A few days later, he tweeted: "Hamas took Israeli hostages on October 7 to retrieve Palestinian women and children who had been illegally detained by Israel...Israel killed its own people." Several weeks prior, the hateful lawyer claimed that Israel created Hamas, then continued that the beheading of babies was fabricated. After falsely stating that Israel bombed Al-Ahli hospital, Awad denounced the murder of Israeli babies and that he pitied the 'militant group' [Hamas].
Ali Jamal Awad spreads malicious lies about the Jewish people and state of Israel through blood libel and antisemitic stereotypes:
- Awad incorrectly states Israel is actively harvesting the organs of Palestinians to collect for their 'organ bank.'
- On November 4, 2023, Awad touts the infamous trope of dual loyalty by sharing: "America has more loyalty to Israel itself."
- Upon Harvard's firing of President Gay for the school's failure to protect Jewish students, the attorney absurdly stated: "Israel did all of this to take control of one of America's most prestigious universities."
- He further ranted that Harvard's decision was a display of "white supremacy," "Zionists want to prove they can take down any institution that they please," and "white colonialism is the root of all this evil."
- Awad concludes after a series of mendacious remarks, "Zionism is the new face of white colonialism."

Cori Bush, the U.S. Congresswoman representing St. Louis, projects herself as an advocate against all forms of bigotry, including antisemitism. However, a closer examination of her actions, voting patterns, and affiliations paints a different picture. Despite her alleged stance, Bush's alliances with individuals and organizations linked to outright Jew-hatred have sparked considerable controversy and cast doubt on her commitment to combating antisemitism.
The company Congresswoman Bush keeps is deeply troubling. Among her associates is Nathaniel Davis III, also known as Aha Sen Piankhy, serves as her bodyguard. Piankhy, a self-proclaimed spiritual guru & Jewish High Priest claiming to be trillions of years old, has drawn significant attention for propagating antisemitic conspiracy theories. His assertions include baseless claims that Jews were behind the creation of COVID-19 and the subsequent global pandemic in order to "kill every last one of us."
Bush has faced further criticism for her associations with controversial figures, including Linda Sarsour and Neveen Ayesh, both of whom have been designated 'Antisemites of the Week' in the past. Linda Sarsour is known for her history of antisemitic rhetoric and staunch advocacy for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to economically destroy Israel. Neveen Ayesh, on the other hand, has openly expressed support for violence against Jews and has endorsed terrorist groups like Hamas. Ayesh's inflammatory statements, including wishing for the burning of Israelis and expressing a belief that being Jewish warrants "hanging from a rope," have sparked outrage.

Bush also sought re-election assistance from Maher Abdelqader, an advid denier of the Holocaust. The Congresswoman's connections to individuals with such troubling views raise serious concerns about her judgment and the values she represents as a member of Congress.

Within hours of Hamas carrying out a barbaric massacre against Israeli civilians on October 7th, Congresswoman Bush released a one-sided statement of solidarity with both Palestinians and Israelis. However, her message ultimately placed blame on Israel's "apartheid" policies, shifting focus away from the immediate violence perpetrated by Hamas. It is unfathomable that a sitting member of Congress sided with a terror regime over America's strongest ally.

Although incomprehensible, Bush's voting record reflects her antisemitic associations and outlandish statements. For example:
- On May 28, 2021, Cori Bush refused to sign her name on a letter of support to President Biden that would combat antisemitism.
- On September 23, 2021, the congresswoman voted against the funding of the Iron Dome which protects millions of Jews and Arabs every day.
- In June of 2023, Bush and other members of "the Squad" voted against the establishment of an ambassador envoy in wake of the Abraham Accords. This initiative would establish peace between Jews and Arabs in the Middle East.
- On July 19, 2023, Bush voted against condemning all forms of antisemitism.
- Bush has a record of voting against sanctions on countries like Russia. However, the congresswoman takes pleasure in supporting measures like BDS that seek to destroy the economy of Israel.
At the beginning of the 2024 year, Congresswomen Bush & Tlaib became the only two members of congress who voted against a resolution that would actively ban Hamas terrorists and any associates of the October 7th massacre from entering our nation's borders.

Lauren Jauregui, the lesser-known member in the girl band sensation Fifth Harmony, has since embarked on her attempt at a solo career. However, amidst her endeavors in the music industry, Jauregui has drawn significant controversy for her vocal expressions of hateful rhetoric towards the Jewish community and propagation of harmful fallacies against the State of Israel in the name of Palestinian advocacy. This divergence into divisive discourse has stirred debate and condemnation as her statements do not aid Palestinians, but certainly targets Jews.
In the wake of the October 7th massacre, Jauregui has denied the atrocities carried out by Hamas; for example:
- On December 3, 2023, the singer claimed there were no beheaded babies and that it was all propaganda.
- The following day, Jauregui denied that Hamas sexually mutilated Israeli women. Instead, she retweeted blood libel that claims Palestinians were actively raped by Israelis.
- On December 11th, 2023, Jauregui once again denied that mass rape carried out by terrorists on October 7th.

Not only has the D-list artist denied the atrocities of October 7th, she has openly defends terrorism; for example:
- On December 3, 2023, Jauregui shared a troubling tweet which claimed, "Palestinians and Hamas have both the moral and legal right to resist the Israeli occupation regime by any means necessary."
- On December 7, 2023, the artist was moved emotionally upon hearing about Israeli soldiers capturing Hamas terrorists for their barbaric crimes committed on October 7th. She described the events as "inhumane" and was upset at the thought that the IDF might "slaughter" the terrorists.
- The following week, she defended the terror chants, "intifada" and "from the river to the sea" on the basis of "racist" tactics used against the Palestinians.
- In a similar thread, she shared, "I don't really care what Zionists think intifada means and you shouldn't either."
- On December 12, 2023, Jauregui ranted that Hamas soldiers were being targeted by a tactic of flooding the terror tunnels with sea water.
- On February 10th, the singer retweeted, "Anyone who says "Hamas started this" is willfully ignorant & complicit in genocide."

The one-time star has shared a plethora of dangerous antisemitic speech that violates the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. In response to a message by former Antisemite of the Week, Marjorie Taylor Green, Jauregui states a century's old trope that suggests Israel "runs this place [America]."
Earlier this year, the singer shared a quiz https://archive.ph/O2kzf , titled, "Zionist or Nazi? Who Said It?" She also retweeted, "...You don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist. You just have to be a racist, neocolonialist, genocidal maniac w/ total disregard for international law and human life." https://archive.ph/3wSoq She makes the outlandish claim that Zionists are "necrophiliacs" in a troubling rant filled with blood libel. https://archive.ph/vEYd3
In 2021, Lauren Jauregui departed from Columbia Records to establish her own label, Attunement Records. Presently, the company has formed a partnership with the distribution company AWAL.
