No fair: Mohammed El-Kurd complains that he isn't allowed to hijack planes on social media
Last month, El-Kurd called on pro-Palestinian supporters to 'Normalize the massacres as the status quo' at a rally in London.
"You can’t protest peacefully. You can’t boycott. You can’t hunger strike. You can’t hijack planes. You can’t block traffic. You can’t throw Molotovs. You can’t self-immolate. You can’t heckle politicians. You can’t march. You can’t riot. You can’t dissent. You just can’t be," he said in the post.
"Imagine associating your whole being with hijacking planes," Levy said in his response.
Mohammed El-Kurd made this post as a response to US airman Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy in New York while yelling "Free Palestine."
While many pro-Palestinian X users found Bushnell's actions very moving, others criticized it as signs of untreated mental health issues and an ineffective or inappropriate way to protest.
El-Kurd is known to make inflammatory statements
This isn't the first time El-Kurd has made controversial statements regarding the use of violence. Last month, he called on pro-Palestinian supporters to 'Normalize the massacres as the status quo' at a rally in London.
There have also been calls to revoke his Calgary Peace prize for praising a terrorist who killed three Israeli women in the Jordan Valley in April of 2023.
El-Kurd became well known for his prominent role in the #SaveSheikhJarrah movement, which protested the eviction of Palestinian families from their homes in east Jerusalem. He currently has over 380,000 followers on X.
Pud says we are now at war and must give our support to the IDF to do it's job and prepare to take the fight into Gaza and not continue with our political squabbling.
