(New York Jewish Week) — New York University is investigating a graduate student working at the school library who wrote “Free Palestine” and a profanity on an Israeli mail bag left in the trash.
The university accused Naye Idriss in November 2022 of alleged antisemitism and vandalism, according to her attorney. Idriss was informed that she was being investigated for allegedly violating the non-discrimination policy in the student conduct code.
Dylan Saba, who is representing the student through Palestine Legal, a civil rights group, also said that the university sent an email to library staff saying that there was “an anti-Israel incident.” Another email stated that there was “an alleged antisemitism incident.”
In December, Idriss, who was one of three Arabic language students working at the library, was not rehired with her peers.

Idriss wrote in her tweet: “فلا تتخذ الثقافة أبعدَ مدياتها وأكثرَها رسوخًا في وعي الناس إنْ لم تشتبك فعليًّا مع الاحتلال: بالمنشور، والحجر، والبندقيّة، والقذيفة، والصاروخ. وبغير ذلك، تبقى الثقافة سبيلًا إلى ’الترقّي’ الذاتيّ والبرستيج الأجوف.’ سماح إدريس عما يمكن نتعلمه من الشهيد باسل الأعرج. [Culture does not take its farthest and most ingrained reach in people's consciousness if it does not actually engage with the occupation: with saws, stones, rifles, shells, and rockets. Otherwise, culture remains a path to self-elevation and hollow prestige.’ Samah Idris about what we can learn from the martyr Basil Al-Araj].”
On February 22, 2022, Idriss tweeted: “What dad Samah Idriss wrote 3 years ago, shortly after the death of his best friend, the activist and amazing human being Maher Al-Yamani. Maher was the right hand of George Habash and one of the hijackers in 1968 (in Greece)... and the first to carry me after I was born. I hope to share this wonderful man with those who do not know him, as dad wished ... ”
George Habash, who has been called“the godfather of Middle East terrorism,” founded the terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In 1970, Habash was the mastermind behind the hijackings of four Western airliners. In 1972, the PFLP collaborated with Japanese Red Army terrorists to massacre 24 people at Israel's Lod International Airport (renamed Ben Gurion International Airport).

The “Saltwater Challenge” was held in solidarity with hunger-striking Palestinian prison inmates convicted of terrorism. The strike was initiated by Marwan Barghouti, who was serving five consecutive life sentences for his role in suicide bombings that killed five Israelis during the “Second Intifada.” Aarab Barghouti, the son of Marwan Barghouti, launched the “Saltwater Challenge.”
