He added that Tamimi’s “attack on an IDF soldier sparked renewed international attention on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and on the Palestinian cause in general.”
The New York Times called Tamimi “a fighting symbol of resistance against the Israeli occupation” in 2018, when the attack occurred. Before that, he appeared in Times Magazine in a collection called “The Resisters.”
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan published a segment about Tamimi in 2022, calling her a “Palestinian hero.”

CNN editor Nadeem Muaddi coveted Tamimi’s book, “They Called Me a Lioness,” and described Tamimi as a “national hero” and a “fearless teenager” after she slapped and assaulted IDF soldiers.
“It was not the first time Tamimi faced an armed soldier, nor was it the first time such an encounter was captured on film. But the image of a fearless teenager, with curly blonde hair and a pink shirt, slapping a heavily armed soldier sparked interest and debate around the world,” the CNN article said.
Muaddi said in an interview: “Your arrest propelled you to the forefront of Palestinian activism, making you a national hero and even a global icon of popular resistance.”

Tamimi’s rise to liberal media stardom is not without red flags.
The Times reported that Tamimi once “declared, ‘Our strength is in our stones’ and appeared to condone or justify stabbings, suicide bombings and other violence.”
Furthermore, his family is well known to the IDF.
His cousin, Ahlam al-Tamimi, was involved in the 2001 Sbarro pizza bombing, which killed more than a dozen people, including two Americans.

Fox News Digital contacted the media outlets in question but did not immediately receive a response.
Human rights groups, such as Amnesty International, also came to Tamimi’s defense for assaulting an IDF soldier, calling for his release from prison.
When contacted for comment, Amnesty International defended its campaign for Tamimi to be freed at the time, but condemned antisemitism.

“Amnesty International campaigned for the release of Ahed Tamimi in 2018 following her wrongful imprisonment at the age of 16 after an online video, which showed her pushing, slapping and kicking two Israeli soldiers in her home village of Nabi Saleh in December 2017, went viral. . She was released in 2018 after serving more than seven months of an eight-month prison sentence. The Amnesty campaign ended after her release,” the statement read. “When Amnesty International campaigns on behalf of a person, it does not endorse their views, past or present, but rather it is based on whether or not their human rights have been violated and the urgent need to take action to address this. “Amnesty’s previous campaign on the Ahed Tamimi case has no relation or connection to her alleged recent comments.”
The statement continued: “As a human rights organization, Amnesty resolutely condemns anti-Semitism and all other forms of racism and discrimination that are contrary to human rights.”
