Former AOC Organizer Busted After Calling for Attack on 'Israel-Loving Zionists' at Public School
Share this @internewscast.com

Anti-Jewish sentiment is one of the longest-standing and most baseless forms of hatred in history, yet it frequently resurfaces. A recent incident occurred in Brooklyn involving a former organizer for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who had no connection to the incident. The ex-organizer, named Iman Abdul, utilized her X account to incite an attack on a public high school attended by Jewish students.

A woman from Brooklyn, who was previously a youth organizer for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Squad,” was apprehended on Friday. She faced allegations of encouraging her 25,000 followers on social media to “attack” a public high school because it had Jewish students.

Iman Abdul, aged 27, is alleged to have shared a screenshot on Thursday featuring the location of Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach via Google Maps, along with an alarming message.

The now-removed post stated, “If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason … Lexus driving Israhell (sic) loving Zionisits (sic) all attend here.”

So, Iman Abdul is apparently not only a hate-ridden bigot, but is also only marginally literate. These two seem often to go hand-in-hand.

And, now, she’s in custody.

The NYPD arrested Abdul at her Brooklyn residence on Friday, filing charges of making a terroristic threat, endangering a child’s welfare, aggravated harassment, and threatening mass harm.

In the summer of 2018, Abdul was involved in the Democratic primary campaigns for socialist politicians AOC and state Senator Julia Salazar. According to Salazar, Abdul was employed as a canvasser for her campaign, as reported by The Post.

Local Jewish community members are, rightly, concerned. They’ve seen this before. Ima Abdul called for an attack on a school, after all, which may well be attended by children and grandchildren of that community. 

“A map. A pin. A call to harm Jews, fellow New Yorkers, children, teachers. This isn’t just dangerous. It’s evil. Jew-hatred doesn’t stop with a threat. It escalates. We need immediate and unequivocal action,” Tova Plaut, a DOE pre-K staffer and Jewish activist, told The Post.

“I am outraged and horrified that a NYC school was publicly marked for attack simply because of its Jewish population,” she added.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who is Jewish, and the department’s intelligence unit were quickly alerted to the threat, sources said.

And, finally, Abdul tried to backpedal out of her initial remarks.

Abdul doubled down in a direct message to StopAntisemitism on her Instagram account @theinmxnabdul.

“I never called for an attack on the school in the sense of mass organization or not even individual people attacking individuals, that’s literally stupid,” she wrote in a word-salad response. “I called for an attack on the school, the Zionist institution funded by our public dollars … we have every right to verbally attack the school.”

Uh-huh.
