Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah said Monday that she has no regrets about retweeting a post supporting Hamas's October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel and blamed racism for the backlash to her pro-Hamas sympathies.
"I make no apologies for standing on the side of Palestinian liberation, at all," Attiah said after a woman confronted her over the pro-Hamas post at a book signing, according to footage recorded by Algemeiner's Corey Walker.
The post, which Attiah retweeted soon after it was posted on the day of Hamas's massacre, read, "What did y'all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers."
Attiah said at the signing that the confrontation is "actually an example of ... how violent it is, the response is, to anyone who speaks about, uh, Israel-Palestine and, frankly, I'd say, particularly if you're black." She did not mention that the woman who confronted her was also black.
The Post columnist has a long history of condemning the Jewish state and its people for defending themselves. One week after the October 7 attack, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Attiah in a column rebuked Israel for fighting back against terrorists. Around the same time, she said she would "never forgive" then-president Joe Biden for supporting Israel.
She has also defended former CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill, who has used the genocidal phrase "From the river to the sea," and the anti-Semitic "Squad," Commentary noted in December 2023.

Another Queen of the Desert Caravans. I wonder if she is in America legally.
She must be so proud of Hamas murdering the baby and little girl and mother then hiding the mother’s mutilated body. Why doesn’t she move to Gaza if she is so supportive?
I’ll bet the Department of Thuggee would spring for a new red silk cord for Karen...
Just smash her face in and walk away.

YES, the biggest actions of freedom fighters are usually beating and killing entire families, including kids.
R@ping women a lot AND men a lot..both were done...age doesn’t matter.
Extreme and saddistic torturem, too.
Why, the revolutionary war couldn’t have been won without all that.
In case anyone REALLY needs it said (woke up late, hangover, still needs coffe)..that’s sarcasm.
They’re sick ####s and they are doing one thing well.
Turning people that disliked them (like me) into people that DETEST them now (like me).
I’m a softie. I thought MAYBE there was some kind of chance for a peaceful settlement in the long run.
Now I know there is. Get EVERY SINGLE ARAB out of the area...for good.
[snip] "Looking to see if I can get more info on newsletter sponsorship or online ads," the ICRC's head of communications and public affairs, Steve Dorsey, wrote the Free Beacon on Monday. Five days earlier, the Free Beacon reported on Senate Republicans' outrage over the participation of ICRC officials in Hamas propaganda rituals and their desire to reassess U.S. funding to the organization.
The ICRC's advertisement inquiry suggests it may be spooked by those talks and looking to shore up support on Capitol Hill. Dorsey told the Free Beacon that the ICRC has not "traditionally done much advertising" and hoped to run spots that would link to its website and boost "generic ICRC visibility."
A Free Beacon review of Meta's ad spending database found that the ICRC ran just five Facebook ads between 2019 and 2023. It did ramp up ad spending at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025, running a series of Facebook and Instagram spots on the "rules of war" that call for the protection of "detainees," "families," and "civilians." The committee failed to do that job when it did not follow through on its obligation to visit hostages in Hamas captivity or to lodge complaints if and when they were denied that right. None of those ads remain active, and all of them ran in Europe, according to the database.

She is the Dinosaur Press.
Marry your brother, it shows to work.
Much of this problem can be traced back to George W. Bush. No one would have dared to openly say pro-Japan things after Pearl Harbor. FDR never would have allowed it.
But after 9/11 Bush told us “Islam is peace.”
So here we are.

some people can’t break free of the chains they are in.
They don’t realize that they are still just slaves.
Slavery is a “state of mind” more than anything else.
I doubt it.
George W Bush was such a fool to say that ISlime is a religion of peace.
I do get that some people think it’s disrespectful. But you are right in posting the non-blurred picture.
We are aware of the horrors of Auschwitz and the other death camps exactly because nothing was blurred out. A picture is worth a thousand words.
The world was shocked by Auschwitz. But too many people aren’t shocked by the Oct 7Hamas massacre of innocents. I attribute that to the effective Muslim propaganda machine. We just don’t push back.
Just once, I would love to see one of the Pallie lovers put their money where their mouth - and writings - are.
This sort is a legitimate military target. Ive said it before - actively supporting Hamas or other recognized terror groups isnt free speech, it’s military action.
She is a legit target for Israeli and allied military forces. This includes American forces, regardless of her citizenship. There are no trials in open battle.
The far-left, RAT “media” has been shoving pictures of Ilma Oman in our face a lot lately. I think they are getting crushes on these raggedy illegal aliens being elected to congress. I know all the “media” females are having Liugi orgasms over the Peruvian Illegal, Bo Bo Garcia (RAT-CA). He’s got the same maniac look in his eyebrows that LUIGI has. The RAT women love types of idiots and want them to make their babies.
Only cowards cheer the death of women and children attending a music festival. All cultures are not equal, obviously.
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
