Ahmmad Sabbagh lists himself as an UNRWA employee. In 2022, a student posted a picture of Sabbagh (the same as Sabbagh’s Facebook profile picture) praising Sabbagh for his work as an English teacher. Sabbagh’s reposting of this post received 70 comments and 120 likes praising his work as a teacher. At least 30 of these come from other profiles which list themselves as working at UNRWA. Sabbagh posts antisemitic conspiracy theories and praises a terror attack.
Translation:
The virtuous professor Ahmmad Sabbagh, an English teacher. I ask Almighty Allah to give you the best reward on my behalf. You were the best teacher, brother, and helper over an entire term, may Allah bless you in your religion, in your world, and your afterlife.
Translation:
Professor Ahmmad was one of our best middle school teachers in Syria
In January 2023, Ahmmad Sabbagh railed against Facebook for taking down one of his posts as a violation of Facebook’s community standards on ‘dangerous individuals and organizations.’ In his rant against Facebook, Sabbagh repeated an antise- mitic conspiracy theoryabout Jews controlling the world, implying that “Zionist gangs” controlling Facebook were responsible for his post being taken down – “theworld has become a small village, but it is a vile, despicable, and ruled by zionist gangs.” The post that was taken down had praised the terrorist who committed the Shua’fat checkpoint attack killing 18-year-old IDF soldier Noa Lazar while she was changing shifts as a “heroic martyr.” Civilian guard David Morel, 30, was also seriously wounded in the attack.
Post translation:
The heroic martyr who carried out the Shua’fat operation, peace unto your soul, to eternal Paradise, if Allah wills it, you delighted us in your response to the Jenin massacre yesterday.
Comment translation:
Look at Facebook’s double standards
They didn’t like the post, it’s true that the world has become a smallvillage, but it’s vile, despicable, and ruled by Zionist gangs.
In September 2021, Sabbagh posted a video of KKK grand wizard David Duke spewing antisemitism. The video uses common antisemitic tropes to make the case that Jews run the world by controlling the money, media, and economy and that they intend to make everyone else their slaves. It also ends with an ambiguous call to possible violent antisemitic attacks – “I believe you will not let yourself become slaves for Jewish masters… It is now time for you to do your part.”
