Georgetown Student Revealed as Daughter of Senior Hamas Adviser

[Social Media]

 

A graduate student at Georgetown University has been identified as the daughter of a high-ranking Hamas adviser, with her own ties to the organization coming under scrutiny.  

 

 

Mapheze Saleh, a first-year master’s student in Arab Studies at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, has been linked to Hamas through her father, Ahmed Yousef. Yousef previously served as an adviser to Hamas under the leadership of Ismail Haniyeh. According to Saleh’s biography on Georgetown’s website, she has also worked with government agencies affiliated with the Hamas regime.

The biography states, "She has worked with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Gaza, which provided her with a greater understanding of regional security, particularly in relation to Palestine."  

 

Hamas, designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department in 1997, has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007. The group, which is committed to armed resistance against Israel, was responsible for the October 7, 2023, attack that resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths.  

 

 

Saleh’s father, Yousef, has been widely quoted in media coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. He also served as director of the U.S.-based think tank United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), which The Wall Street Journal has described as a front for Hamas. UASR was founded by Musa Abu Marzook, a senior Hamas official currently based in Doha, Qatar, who is now the group's second-in-command. Yousef led the organization until 2005 before returning to Gaza to advise Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.  

 

Archived social media posts attributed to Saleh and published by the National Review, citing CAMERA, reportedly show her expressing support for Hamas’s October 7 attack. The posts allegedly included videos of Israeli hostages being paraded through crowds and criticism of the United States.  

Saleh's professional background includes working for the Qatar Embassy in New Delhi and contributing articles to Middle East Monitor, Al Jazeera, and Palestinian media outlets.  

 

This revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of pro-Palestinian activism on U.S. campuses. Georgetown University is currently investigating a student event organized by Georgetown Law Students for Justice in Palestine, which had planned to feature Ribhi Karajah, a convicted terrorist. According to Fox News, Karajah was involved in the killing of a 17-year-old Israeli girl.  

 

Campus flyers for the event described it as "Palestinian Prisoners, an evening with Ribhi Karajah, student activist and former political prisoner."  

Former President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order on January 30 to revoke student visas of individuals who have shown support for Hamas, as part of a broader crackdown on anti-Semitism in American universities.

[Ben Zioner]

Being the daughter of a criminal isn't a crime. But she must understand that a serious Mossad investigation is warranted. So is, of course, the usual fruitful cooperation wth the relevant US agencies.

Inciting violence and hate speech, supporting Hamas. That’s enough for deportation, preferably straight to the tunnels without passing go.

 

Try digesting the information within the OP next time.

What’s far more odd is that you’ve obviously still not digested the information and evidence contained in the OP including the video. Why are you ignoring it? it’s all there, her social media posts praising Hamas, praising the attacks, calling for the end of Israel, her hate of the US.

’The ministry of foreign affairs AKA Hamas’ 

 

Obviously the MoFA is not Hamas, something an organization that claims to campaign for accuracy in reporting ought to be aware of; it does however play well to some.

 

Again what crimes has  Mapheze Saleh committed?

It contains all the evidence. Enough to deport the scum. The evidence you have still ignored. It’s all there, her social media posts praising Hamas, praising the attacks, calling for the end of Israel, her hate of the US.

 

You call that a hit piece, only a Hamas apologist would come out with that B/S

‘Hamas apologist’, is libel something you normally engage?

 

It’s not wise thing to partake of here in Thailand.

False. It contains evidence and the screenshots. s’more dishonest debating from you.

The apologists are out I see defending the daughter of a Hamas leader. 

 

Georgetown’s Daughter of Hamas

Like her father, who has co-written books such as The End of the Jewish State: Just a Matter of Time, Mapheze has expressed her opposition to Israel. Since the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, her social-media profiles have glorified Hamas and its acts of terror while belittling the experience of Israeli civilians held hostage. 
Since the October 7 attack, Mapheze repeatedly expressed support for the terror attack and glorified those who carried out the atrocities.

You’re probably right, the new McCarthyism is upon us.

 

Pro-Israel lobbyists organizations doing to gum-shoeing.

 

 

[Nick Carter icp]

How can she justify staying on American India land which was over taken by Europeans a few hundred years ago, whilst also opposing Jews living in Israel ?

   Isn't that hypocritical ?

I do hope that you aren't just once again holding Israel responsible for everything .

   The report was published by a USA magazine and nothing to do with Israel 

[koolkarl]

Great screening by US authorities.  Its a simple answer, don't let any of them in.  They have no intention to integrate and have ulterior motives.

[TheFishman1]

Well the way things are looking in America right now there won’t be many institutions left to investigate anything he got rid of the people that would keep an eye on the politicians for corruption so they’re gone now he’s getting rid of these organizations that involve many different fields without any knowledge she doesn’t care it’s not him that’s being fired Next thing they’ll fire the people that take care of our  nuclear weapons

Perhaps she thinks she is safer in America from becoming ‘collateral damage’ on Gaza.

Considering she is a terrorist supporter and additionally mocks the hostages in Gaza as well as hates the US “America is the plague.” 

 

What do you think? Any more defense of her?

That would then be her Dads fault for starting the war and also for not providing a safe environment in Gaza
