Sheehi did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and George Washington did not immediately respond whether the diversity professor had been removed from his academic duties as his own internal investigation begins.

Americans as well as civilians in Israel have been the targets of terrorist attacks financed by Palestinian groups such as Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In one of the most infamous terrorist attacks – the Suicide attack at the Sbarro restaurant – was planned by mastermind Ahlam al-Tamimi.

In other cases, Hamas terrorists would include shrapnel in the bombs dipped in rat poison – an anticoagulant – to ensure victims hit by the obliterated metal in the blast would continue to bleed, increasing the risk of death.
“Hamas has long sought to increase the lethality of its attacks by launching shrapnel attached to its suicide attacks with chemicals,” according to a report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

In a statement, they said Sheehi was “wrongly accused of discrimination and anti-Semitism” due to a “wider politically and ethnically motivated campaign against Dr. Sheehi due to his scholarship and political activism in outside the classroom”.
“We understand that these claims would not otherwise have elicited such an exaggerated and prejudicial response from [George Washington], nor would they have found traction in public opinion if Dr. Sheehi were not Arab and his scholarship and activism were not focused on Palestine.
These smear campaigns, intended to silence dissenting voices, are rooted in anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism, a form of racism that silences, excludes, erases, stereotypes, defames and dehumanizes Arabs and their stories. »
