https://www.stopantisemitism.org/antisemite-of-the-week5-1/antisemite-of-the-week-muayad-shahin-the-hateful-researcher

Muayad Shahin is a Case Western Reserve University graduate. He currently works at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Center and aspires to become a doctor.

Shahin openly spreads his antisemitic views on Twitter, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state, and expressing violent tendencies towards Jews.

Examples of Shahin's vile antisemitism [wisdom] include:

- Comparing Jews to Nazis - Shahin tweeted that "asking Palestinians to live peacefully with isr*elis is like asking Jews to live peacefully with Nazis". Such comparison is clearly antisemitic according to the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.

- Tweeting that Jews should go back to Europe - such statements are reminiscent of the antisemitic calls from the '40s for Jews to "go back home."

- Questioning Jewish loyalty - Shahin tweeted "I truly don't think yall understand how many of them have dual citizenship elsewhere in Europe and the US..." This obscene "dual loyalty" trope is often used by antisemites such as David Duke and Ilhan Omar.



Shahin also often calls for the destruction of the Jewish State:

- Stating that he drank a celebratory alcohol shot "to the destruction of isr*el LMFAOO."

- Tweeting that Israel is cancer and asking "why would you not want to remove a cancerous body?"

- Posting pictures of himself holding slogans that call for the destruction of Israel such as "from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free." In 2018, Marc Lamont Hill was fired from CNN for using this slogan.



Shahin has also expressed violent tendencies towards Jews:

- While he was a student at CWRU and sitting next to a Jewish woman in a coffee shop, he tweeted "sitting in close proximity to a zi*nist. Struggling to contain myself".

- A week prior, he tweeted he never felt closer to Allah "than when I made this zi*nist at school cry".
