Holocaust Revisionism

On October 28, 2022, Barry tweeted: “Jews were not exterminated because they were Jewish. They were exterminated because times were very hard, and Jewish people, alongside many others, were scapegoated. Watch your backs. [18/18].”

“Holocaust revisionism” is a form of anti-Semitism where proponents deny or minimize key aspects of the Holocaust.

On December 22, 2022, Barry tweeted: “The number of German Jews killed in the Holocaust is comparable to the number of German Jews who fought for Nazis in WWII. Both numbers are less than the number of Americans who died in WWII…”

On January 27, 2023, Barry tweeted: “…half of Germany’s Jews were Nazis, & they marched into Poland with their fellow fascists & murdered millions.”

Anti-Semitism

On April 4, 2023, Barry tweeted: “A topic I’ve discussed at length in recent years is that the modern fight against anti-semitism actually *is* anti-semitism. World Jewry is an enormously wealthy and powerful lobby with specific self interest that wields the word ‘Jew’ for political gain, including against Jews.”

On January 13, 2023, Barry tweeted: “If you want a master class in how elites operate in the US & beyond, look no further than the exclusionary tactics of Judaism and modern world Jewry. You don’t go from the Holocaust to Forbes’ lists in 70 years by accident. In truth, Hitler selectively exterminated the poor. 9/9.”

On November 15, 2022, Barry tweeted in support of a quote attributed to American actor Marlon Brando that read: “Hollywood is run by Jews; it is owned by Jews–and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering. Because…we have seen…the greaseball, we’ve seen the Chink, we’ve seen the slit-eyed dangerous Jap, we have seen the wily Filipino, we’ve seen everything but we never saw the kike. Because they knew perfectly well that that’s where you draw [line].”

Kike is an anti-Semitic slur referring to a Jewish person.

On October 30, 2022, Barry tweeted about when she first got to JHU, writing: “All I knew about ‘Jews’ was that they faced extermination in the Holocaust, have forced Palestinians to face extermination via Israel, and that they have some sort of protected status in the US because of ‘anti-semitism.’…”

Equating Israel with Nazi Germany

On April 16, 2023, Barry tweeted: “…the Israeli gov’t is a far-right, fascist gov’t that has presided over Palestinian concentration camps since its inception…”

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) highlights as one possible contemporary example of anti-Semitism: “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Thirty-four other countries have adopted the definition as well.

Also on April 16, 2023, Barry also tweeted in the same thread: “…Israel appears to be in the initial stages of a Final Solution plan. No exaggeration. I mean this literally.” The Nazis called their planned mass murder of Jews: “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”

Barry concluded the thread by writing: “Much like the Soviet Union held back nothing against Germany’s Final Solution, so too must Palestine fight Israel…”

On December 14, 2022, Barry tweeted: “I finally put all the pieces together yesterday: Israelis & Palestinians are Canaanites. The Hebrew Bible is the founding myth of Israel, in which the ancient Israelites genocided the other peoples of Canaan. Except they didn’t… until now. Zionism is Jewish National Socialism [Nazism].”
Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture.

On October 13, 2022, Barry tweeted: “With Israel’s concentration camps for Palestinians, racialized segregation among its own Jewish citizens, and flourishing Apartheid South African community, the Jewish alliance with racism continues to run its course.”

Terror Support (Hamas)

On December 14, 2022, Barry tweeted: “AP [Associated Press] has reported that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians 🇵🇸 attended the 35th anniversary rally in Gaza for Hamas… #FreePalestine.”

Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organizationby the European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan, Paraguay, the U.S., Israel and the United Kingdom. Founded in 1987, it has carried out suicide bombings and rocket attacks against civilian targets, wounding and killing thousands of Israelis.

On October 28, 2021, Barry tweeted: “Is there a way for me to donate to Hamas.” In the same thread, Barry tweeted two days later: “If it helps, I’m open to supporting them in other ways as well. 😇.”

On July 22, 2021, Barry tweeted: “The devil finds work for idle hands. Perhaps Hamas has been too easy on Israel, if Israel has the time to interfere with western democracy and subvert the free market.”
On May 16, 2021, in response to Israel bombing a high-rise building in Gaza that was used as a base for Hamas operations, Barry tweeted: “There is absolutely no evidence of Hamas ever using the building. Israel asserted their claim without ever providing evidence, & Israel *still* hasn’t provided any evidence.”
The building was also used by the Al Jazeera Media Network and other major news outlets. The Israeli military warned the building’s tenants to vacate the premises one hour before the attack, which was part of Israel’s Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW) against terrorists in Gaza.

In May 2021, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists fired over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at major population centers in Israel. Israel responded by launching OGW, carrying out targeted military strikes in Gaza.

On May 14, 2021, Barry tweeted: “The US calls Hamas a ‘terrorist organization’ because Hamas resists Israel’s genocidal campaign. Palestine is a sovereign state, and Hamas is a security & social services force recognized by the UN. Hamas is fighting to save Palestinians from total extermination.”

Hatred of Israel and Zionists

On March 21, 2023, Barry tweeted: “I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Zionism is treason.”

On March 7, 2023, Barry wrote a tweet claiming that Israel trains “US police to become fascistic killers…”

The accusation that Israeli law enforcement teaches American police brutal tactics during police exchange programs is used to demonize Israel. Participants in these programshave stated [00:02:14] that the training in Israel focuses [00:13:36] on public policy, counter-terrorism and leadership training in the form of lectures and discussions.

On December 24, 2022, Barry tweeted: “American Zionists should be classified as enemies of the United States, barred from public office, and charged with treason.”

On the same date, Barry tweeted in the same thread: “Israeli apartheid is exalted & protected by US officials.”

On the same date, Barry tweeted in the same thread: “Our taxes, soldiers, and defense resources are used to destabilize the world against America’s interests. Our gov’t is overrun by Zionists. It’s high time that we the people reaffirmed our own character, forged our own identity, and envisioned our own future. Zionism must go.”

On November 27, 2022, Barry tweeted: “If the terrorist state of Israel is ever to fall, we must prepare for global consequences. Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, but that’s not all they do. The US military and NATO, for ex, depend upon Israeli manufacturing, intelligence, & cyber infrastructure.”

On April 7, 2022, Barry tweeted: “Zionism is a state of Jewish supremacy. I’ve read the manifestos of early Zionist leaders and radical Jewish terrorists. I’ve read chapter after chapter of the Bible and the Talmud. Zionism is genocide. To ask someone facing extinction how the murderers will go on is inhuman.”

The Talmud is a fundamental text of Rabbinic Judaism and a primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology.

BDS

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by Omar Barghouti in 2005 to challenge “international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.” BDS is an allegedly “Palestinian-led movement,” although leading BDS activists have admitted [00:01:01] this is not true.

One of the demands of BDS includes [point 3] what is generally known as the “right of return,” a demand discredited as a way to eliminate Israel. Barghouti said the “right of return” is a means to “end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.”

Barghouti has said that BDS “aims to turn Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.”

In his activism, Barghouti has also said [00:05:55] regarding Israel: “Definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No…rational Palestinian, not a sellout Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”

The movement has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and received a public endorsement from Hamas in 2017.

BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.

The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments and student groups, backed by their own anti-Israel members and affiliates, have proposed resolutions on some form of boycott of, or divestment from, Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities.

Boycott resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.

BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. On one campus, when the student government debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats against those opposing it.
