Shakir, who took up his current position in 2016, has been involved and invested in the Israeli-Arab conflict since his days as a student. While studying at Stanford University, he was president of the university's anti-Israel group, and even submitted a boycott proposal on behalf of Israel on its behalf, calling for the university to withdraw its investments from companies doing business in Israel. Even then, in 2013, members of the Student Council claimed that his remarks were full of "historical inaccuracies" and that they were an "attack on Israel in disguise." Upon graduation he began working at the Center for Constitutional Rights, where he represented a professor fired from the University of Illinois for tweets such as "Scores have turned anti-Semitism from something terrible to something respectable since 1948."

His hobby at the time was, by the way, lecturing at events of "Students of Justice in Palestine," one of the most extremist anti-Israel student organizations, who argue that the Palestinian state should cover the entire territory of Israel. From the beginning of its activity until today, he presents Israel as an apartheid state that carries out ethnic cleansing.''</blockquote></ref><ref>[https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/documents/assets/pdf/israel-international/Anti-Semitism-at-UC-Irvine-NW.pdf Anti-Semitism at UC Irvine - ADL] (Info on Shakir as a student in 2010)</ref>

All along, Shakir was and is dismissing Israel's security concerns but instead maliciously defaming it.

An example of Shakir's hoice of words, definitions and language. In 2017, he labeled Israel's decision to strip a terrorist convicted ''on four counts of attempted murder'' of his Jerusalem residency - as a called "war crime."<ref>"HRW says Israel stripping Palestinians of Jerusalem residency 'war crime'" AFP, August 8, 2017.
<blockquote>
... Zayud was convicted on four counts of attempted murder after driving a car into Israeli soldiers and stabbing civilians in October 2015. He was sentenced to 25 years in jail.
Israeli Arabs are full citizens of Israel and the Adalah rights group said it was the first ruling of its kind.
Omar Shakir, HRW's director for Israel and the Palestinian territories, told AFP the decision to revoke Zayud's nationality "would render him stateless, in violation of Israel's obligations under international human rights law."</blockquote></ref>
