Think Ilhan Omar’s Bad? Check Out the Latest Anti-Israel Rant from SFSU’s Rabab Abdulhadi

Rep. Ilhan Omar, currently under fire for anti-Semitic commentary, is nothing next to San Francisco State University (SFSU) professor Rabab Abdulhadi, who could write the book on spewing offensive anti-Israel invective. As noted by the Tower, Abdulhadi’s latest rant was delivered via a video and accompanying statement posted at the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas (AMED) Facebook page.

After claiming that SFSU’s administration “continues to collaborate with the Zionist designs to silence us,” Abdulhadi described AMED’s role as challenging “the hegemonic narratives of oppression, like the Zionist narrative that seeks to erase indigenous Palestinians.” She also cited the “contradiction” in SFSU as a “social justice institution” engaged in the “weaponizing of free speech in the service of Nazis, Zionists, and other white supremacists.”

At this rate, Abdulhadi could be elected to Congress.
