Terrorism fan girl Catherine Beth Washburn allegedly put her money where her mouth is in support of Islamic fanatics in Gaza.


Not content with the PTA, bake sales and other tasks of a stay-at-home mom, Washburn, 37, is accused of financially supporting Islamic terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group.

Federal prosecutors claim the mom from upstate New York transferred a whopping US$30,000 in cryptocurrency to the rabidly antisemitic cabal, the New York Post reports.

She allegedly gushed to one Palestinian terrorist pen pal: “I wish every day were October 7.”

According to the feds, Washburn, of Irondequoit, outside Rochester, went all in on terrorism following the day 1,200 were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists in 2023. She reportedly formed the the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation.

The kooky cabal advocates violence, sabotage and property destruction, prosecutors said.

Transformed into Judy Jihad
Washburn’s latest incarnation is a far cry from old Facebook photos starring the mother of two small children and devoted wife. According to the Post, the family had all the earmarks of a middle-class small-town existence, living in a $280,000, three-bedroom house.


But in recent years, she transformed herself into Judy Jihad. After that, her social media feed featured her wearing a hijab and penning anti-Israeli screeds, plus photos of her posing in a Hamas costume holding two hand grenades.

It wasn’t clear if Washburn had taken the leap and converted to Islam. The point of her radicalization is also foggy.

But her intensity was clear, telling her terror pen pal: “If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance.”

She also frequently expressed her hatred for Jews and her wish that Israel would disappear. The feds allege she sent the Gaza terrorist $30,000 in crypto in 80 different transfers.

‘Excited’ by soldiers’ deaths
She wrote from her quiet Empire State headquarters: “I feel excited every time I see news of the killing of an occupation soldier.”

But Washburn was nothing if not a martyr. Last November, the mom told her pen pal she could be facing decades in prison.

“Based on my passed (sic) fundraising and posting Im (sic) gonna get put away for a few life times,” she wrote, adding a laughing emoji.

Washburn is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. She faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.

She is currently being held without bail in Buffalo.

U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo for the Western District of New York said in a statement: “This defendant, fuelled by her self-described hate of Israel and Jewish people, went to great lengths to attempt to provide financial support to terrorist organizations that use violence to further their agendas, including the Palestine Islamic Jihad.

“Despite her alleged attempts, including cryptic communications with a fighter involved in violent attacks in an area thousands of miles away, Catherine Washburn was stopped and so too were her efforts to support violent extremism.”

Good for her. Somebody has to help them stand up against systemic"Jew Power" terrorism murdering children and elderly for the past 113 years.

Jew Power is okay but if White or Black Power ran in elections in Canada or USA the holowashed would have shit fucking fits.

At water break I'll do bullshit calling on the 5 Hasbara myths

In the meantime....


Pre-Zionism / British Mandate Palestine (roughly 1920–1948): ~25,585 km² (about 9,878 sq mi).707153

This refers to the area of Mandatory Palestine west of the Jordan River (the core region associated with historical Palestine in this context). The full original Mandate briefly included areas east of the Jordan (Transjordan, now Jordan), but that was administratively separated early on in 1921–1922. The land area under the Mandate for Palestine proper was consistently cited around 25,000–26,000 km².c82559

Current Palestinian territories (State of Palestine: West Bank including East Jerusalem + Gaza Strip): ~6,020 km² (about 2,320 sq mi).ad9782

West Bank (including East Jerusalem): ~5,655 km².efb724

Gaza Strip: ~365 km².9b19c1

Comparison
The current Palestinian territories represent roughly 23–24% of the area of historical Mandatory Palestine west of the Jordan.8173a8

Israel controls the remaining majority of that former Mandate territory (its pre-1967 area is around 20,770 km², with variations depending on whether including occupied territories like the Golan or East Jerusalem).ad6af6

Notes on context:
"Pre-Zionism" typically points to the late Ottoman period or the start of the British Mandate (early 20th century), when the region was not a sovereign state but a geographic/administrative area. Borders and exact definitions varied slightly over time, but the ~25,585 km² figure is the standard for Mandatory Palestine.

Modern "Palestine" refers to the occupied Palestinian territories as defined internationally (per UN and sources like Wikipedia). Control on the ground is more fragmented (e.g., Areas A/B/C in the West Bank, Israeli settlements, Gaza under different dynamics).

These are land area figures; water bodies (e.g., Dead Sea) are minor and excluded in most totals.

Sources are consistent across encyclopedic references like Wikipedia and historical records. Exact numbers can vary slightly by source due to border definitions or measurement methods, but the order-of-magnitude difference (roughly 4x larger historically) holds.

So….you didn’t watch it then…like the myth that the KGB created the Palestinian identity (I think that was #2) for example.

I can't wait to hear the Hasbara.

Ron, KGB didn't exist yet. So yeah, I'm calling bullshit

The KGB came into existence in 1954, & they’re talking about the 60’s, when they debunk the myth that the KGB helped create the Palestinian identity or whatever with Yasser Arafat and the PLO blah blah blah….but they’re say’n the KGB “didn’t”…

I actually stumbled across that myself a year or two back and there’s enough kernels of reality in there to make you think, but apparently it just didn’t happen.
