By most appearances, Ahed Tamimi looks like any other, 24-year-old woman — when she's smiling, at least. However, the radicalized Palestinian activist is anything but.
Tamimi, who garnered international attention in 2017 when, as a teenager, she slapped an Israeli soldier, has become a full-fledged Jew hater of (almost) the worst kind. She has praised Adolf Hitler, pledged to drink the blood of Jewish civilians, and declared that she is "fighting Jews, not Zionism."
Yet, this despicable creature, who embodies everything ugly about antisemitism, has been called a "hero" by so-called "mainstream" media, lauded as a "superstar in the campaign against Israeli occupation," and worse.
Here's more:
When Israel arrested the 24-year-old Palestinian activist for inciting terrorism in 2023, mainstream media outlets described her as a modern-day Gandhi. The New York Times hailed Tamimi as an "international symbol of Palestinian resistance."
Reuters claimed her protests of "Israeli land seizures" had made her "a hero since she was a teenager." Even before her arrest, CNN called her a "fearless teen" who suffered the horrors of "living under Israeli military occupation."
What those outlets have not reported, among other things, is Tamimi’s praise for Adolf Hitler, promises to drink the blood of Jews, and declarations that she is "fighting the Jews, not Zionism."
Obviously, the likes of CNN, The New York Times, and Reuters simply "forgot" to mention the really ugly facts about Tamimi.
Appearing on a YouTube show earlier in August, Tamimi claimed she was raised to fight and resist the Jews, not "Zionism," and argued that in context of the "Palestinian struggle" the distinction is one without meaning. She said she doesn't believe this makes her antisemitic as she harbors no ill will against the religion of Judaism, merely against the "inhumanity" embodied by the Israelis:
I was raised [to believe] that Judaism means occupation, and today, tomorrow, and a million years from now, I will continue to say that Judaism be presented to the children of Palestine – children of my age and younger – as occupation, and that we are fighting the Jews, not Zionism.
Western media—or any media in the world—should not come and present its views. No! The whole world needs to shut up when a Palestinian is talking. We are superior to the entire world, because we are the only ones in the world fighting injustice, at the expense of our lives, and the expense of our humanity.
Incidentally, if any (or all) of the above makes zero sense to you, you're not alone. I read it three times and I'm still confused — other than by this reprehensible person's unbridled hatred of the Jewish people, that is.
'Let the Whole World Be Destroyed, I Don't Care'
Tamimi's unfettered hatred of — and boundless enmity against — Jews, while not unprecedented, ranks right up there with the worst of Adolf Hitler's Nazi propaganda, yet it seems that the only press she gets from the legacy media is glowing. Here she is calling for WW III:
I have reached a point where I wish for a World War III. Whoever dies, dies, and whoever lives, lives. The important thing is that we will be over with this. I have reached this point. Let the whole world be destroyed, I don’t care. Let them drop nuclear bombs, and destroy the whole world, so it won’t be just the Palestinians.
Why is that? How does an even somewhat normal human being get to that point?
(The question is strictly rhetorical; Jew hatred is real, universal, and it's not going to go leave the world stage anytime soon, if ever.)
Radical Antisemitism at Its Worst
Following the horrific October 7, 2023, slaughter of Israel men, women, and children by Hamas terrorists, the Jerusalem Post quoted Tamimi as saying:
We are waiting for you in all the West Bank cities from Hebron to Jenin—we will slaughter you and you will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke. We will drink your blood and eat your skull. Come on, we are waiting for you.
No words.

A former Israeli defense official told the Washington Free Beacon that the media’s portrayal of Tamimi as a peaceful activist — and Israel as a violent aggressor — collapses under scrutiny:
Her hatred for Israel and the Jews is self-evident. She chose to incite, to hate, and to poison. And those who support her are unsurprisingly the same Hamas flag-waving anti-Semites who care not one iota for the Palestinian people, just the destruction of the one and only Jewish state.
Bingo.
As simple — yet ugly — as it sounds, Jew-haters the world over cannot handle the idea that tiny Israel — the only democratic country in the Middle East — exists.
Therefore, it must be destroyed.
If the above is not one of the ugliest examples of man's inhumanity to man, what is it?
