Noura Erakat’s October 7 Tweet Proves She’s an Apologist for Terror — Not a Human Rights Advocate

If you ever questioned the morality and standing of someone like Noura Erakat, her tweet on October 7, 2023, should end the debate.

“Any condemnation of Hamas violence is vapid if it doesn’t begin & end with condemnation of Israeli settler colonialism and occupation.”

That’s what Erakat — a tenured professor at Rutgers University — wrote on the very day Hamas militants murdered, raped, and burned alive over 1,200 Israeli civilians, including children, elderly, and American citizens.

While the world reeled in horror, Erakat offered justification — not grief, not humanity. According to her, mass murder was acceptable so long as it served a political narrative.

This Is Not Academic Freedom — It’s Radical Incitement

Erakat has spent years using her academic credentials to defend armed resistance, praise convicted terrorists, and deny Israel’s right to exist. But on October 7, she made it unmistakably clear: she sees terrorism as legitimate.

Her words matter. She speaks to students. She trains future lawyers. She influences public discourse. And she does it all from the privileged perch of a major U.S. university.

This isn’t scholarship. It’s ideological warfare.

Final Word

Noura Erakat’s tweet wasn’t a slip. It was a statement of values — values that celebrate violence, justify terror, and erase the victims of atrocity. Any university or institution that continues to platform her is complicit in mainstreaming hate.

Terror apologists don’t belong in American classrooms.
