Mohammad Jehad Ahmad: NY teacher slammed as he calls Israel 'terrorist state', shares Hamas paraglider pic

Jehad Ahman, who teaches maths at Gotham Tech High School in Queens, changed his FB cover photo to an image of a paraglider with a Palestinian flag

QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY: Mohammad Jehad Ahman, a New York City school teacher, has come under fire after calling Israel a ‘terrorist state’ and sharing a photo of a Hamas paraglider on Facebook along with his support for Palestine.

Jehad Ahman, who teaches maths at Gotham Tech High School in Queens, reportedly changed his Facebook cover photo to an image of a paraglider with a Palestinian flag tied to the parachute and the words "I stand with Palestine" written beneath it, according to Daily Mail.

The image, which was also shared by BLM Chicago, appeared to be a reference to the Hamas militants, who launched a full-fleshed surprise attack on Israel, leaving more than 1,400 citizens dead and another 2,600 gravely injured.

On Saturday, October 14, Justin Sprio, a New York City school social worker, flagged Mohammad’s post on X, saying, “How can Jews feel safe in Mohammad’s classroom?”

In response, Jehad Ahmad, who has deleted his Twitter account, spouted anti-Israel rhetoric, asserting, "Look at this clown and the others in his replies. So-called ‘Israel’ is a settler colony that was invented and only continues to exist through terrorism, dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and ongoing incremental genocide.”

What did Mohammad Jehad Ahmad say about Israel-Hamas war?

Jehad Ahmad later took a dig at another media report, saying, “So-called Israel was invented in 1948 through coordinated acts of terrorism to depopulate and ethnically cleanse Palestinian land.”

“For over the past 75 years, so-called Israel has continued to exist through continued dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and incremental genocide,” he continued.

The teacher then reflected on Hamas' attacks and labeled reports of militants murdering children and babies as 'unsubstantiated'.

“On Saturday, Palestinians from Gaza completed a successful military campaign against that oppressor. So-called Israel is a white supremacist, settler-colony that only exists through its ongoing dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and incremental genocide of the Palestinian people,” he asserted.

Jehad Ahmad previously called NYC's public schools chancellor David Banks a "white supremacist, imperialist, scumbag” for condemning Hamas' attack against Israel on October 7th.

"Let it be known that Chancellor Banks only cares about the lives of white people. So-called 'Israel' has continually indiscriminately killed civilians, children, the elderly, the press, and medical workers and targeted schools, places of worship, and medical facilities,” he claimed according to The Blaze.

When Fox News asked Jehad Ahmad for a comment, he reportedly "repeated his claims, and referred to the Oct 7 terrorist attack as 'a successful military campaign.'"

Internet calls to terminate Mohammad Jehad Ahmad’s employment

Jehad Ahmad’s claims and image have garnered immense social media attention, with many users slamming him and calling to terminate his employment.

“He needs to be fired from the public school system,” one user stated. “He should be sent to Gaza immediately to stand with his brethren,” a second user wrote.

“He doesn't even know history. Israel had been in the land 2000 years before it was called 'Palestine' by Hadrian. What a tool,” the third user asserted.

“Such kind of speech should not considered as free speech,” the fourth user wrote while fifth said, “Fire him! He doesn't belong in our country. When will people learn that they not only hate Jews they hate Americans. We do not want these people here. Get rid of them.”

“Deport terrorist sympathizer Mohammad Jehad Ahmad now!” another user wrote. “You need to fire any teacher that spews hatred and ignorance like this,” one more said.
