==Hijacking Media and Championing BDS to Erase Israel==

Munayyer's CNN stunt was one example of his media manipulations. As detailed by [[CAMERA]], he derailed the interview by pivoting to ahistorical grievances—like portraying Gaza's population as eternal "refugees" from Israel's [[1948 War of Independence]], which Arabs initiated by rejecting UN partition and launching a genocidal war against the nascent Jewish state. He labeled Gaza an "open-air prison," ignoring Israel's 2005 disengagement and Hamas's diversion of billions in aid to terror tunnels rather than infrastructure.<ref name="CAMERA"/>

Munayyer is a vocal BDS proponent—a movement whose architects, including co-founder [[Omar Barghouti]], explicitly reject a two-state solution in favor of dismantling Israel as the Jewish homeland. BDS is economic warfare aimed at Israel's destruction, echoing the genocidal anti-Jewish clauses in Hamas's charter, which the Jerusalem Fund—Munayyer's former employer—once hosted on its site.<ref name="CAMERA"/> Under his watch, USCPR funneled resources into campus divestment campaigns that harass Jewish students and equate Zionism with Nazism. [[StandWithUs]] raises concerns about Munayyer's funding ties, questioning if his role at the Arab Center DC—affiliated with Qatar's Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies—involves Qatari government payments, given Doha's history of supporting Hamas and anti-Israel causes.<ref name="StandWithUs">{{Cite web |title=Investigating Qatar’s Influence on U.S. Academia |url=https://www.standwithus.com/post/investigating-qatar-s-influence-on-u-s-academia |access-date=2025-10-19 |publisher=StandWithUs}}</ref>
