Student at UPenn,
Hamas Glorifier and Antisemite
Tara Tarawneh was arrested for stealing an Israeli flag in November 2023. She also glorified Hamas terrorist war crimes, promoted incitement to violence and called for Israel’s destruction. In October 2023, she justified Hamas terrorism due to the “sheer fact” that Israel exists.
Tarawneh’s actions took place following a series of Hamas terror attacks and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023. The terror attacks left about 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded.
Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 2] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
In September 2023, Tarawneh was listed as a junior studying comparative literature at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), which is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Also in September 2023, Tarawneh was listed as a staff writer for the Daily Pennsylvanian, a student-run newspaper at Penn.

“Do you guys remember the photo of the kids and men laughing and smiling as they sat on top of the Israeli military Jeep captured by our freedom fighters?...How about the photos of the bulldozer breaking through the [Israeli-Gaza] border? Do you remember that picture? And the several other joyful and powerful images which came from the glorious October 7!” Tara Tarawneh, Instagram, Oct 28 2023
“The equation of violence on both sides and the equation of casualty on both sides are also very dangerous, because there are no civilians in a settler state… The right for colonized people to resist their colonization by any means necessary, including armed resistance is recognized under international law… And Palestinians like all oppressed peoples have the right to resistance their oppressors by any means necessary!” Tara Tarawneh, YouTube, Oct 19 2023
“The blood of the martyrs asks my blood! ‘How could you accept the path of peaceful solution?’”
