Aniqa Raihan’s Affiliation with Extremist Movements
Raihan has worked with organizations like CODEPINK and contributed to anti-Israel publications such as Mondoweiss. Her involvement with SJP at GWU included supporting demonstrations that featured calls for the elimination of Israel and aligning with figures known for denying the Holocaust and endorsing resistance rhetoric. Critics argue that her actions fuel division and undermine dialogue.
Advocating for Terrorism
Through events like “Why You Should Take Sides” and fundraising for pro-Palestinian activism, Raihan has championed the SJP movement, which closely aligns values with US designated terrorist organization Hamas.. Her statements and initiatives emphasize resistance in the form of inciting hatred and antisemitism, which has created an unsafe environment for her peers on campus.
