Boston U. About to Hire Sarah Ihmoud, Who Accuses Israel of ‘Systematic Massacres’ and Rape

Sarah Ihmoud

Boston University (BU) is on the verge of hiring rabidly anti-Israel postdoctoral associate Sarah Ihmoud, who, among many other wild, false claims, has accused the IDF of engaging in “systematic massacres and evictions” and the “rape and killing of Palestinian women.” Ihmoud, repeating a centuries-old anti-Semitic blood libel, has also alleged that, as part of the “settler colonial project’s machinery of elimination,” Israeli Jews poison Palestinian wells. Americans for Peace and Tolerance has issued an action alert asking the public to urge BU officials to reconsider hiring Ihmoud, whose “hateful propaganda, posing as scholarship, is no different from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
