In the video below, Mohammad ‘Jihadi’ Ahmad tries to use his child as a human shield (Hamas style) against the reporter who is asking him questions he doesn’t want to answer, then screams “leave my kid alone.”
NY PostA New York City teacher, Mohammad Jehad Ahmad, is back with a vengeance, publicly defending his pro-Hamas, anti-Israel views on X after sparking viral outrage and parent demands for his removal.
“I stand by everything I said in the same way I continue to stand by the oppressed people whenever I encounter them,” Gotham Tech High School teacher Mohammad Jehad Ahmad posted on X Saturday. “Free Palestine from ‘Israeli’ oppression and active genocide.”
After the Post was first to report his inflammatory comments, Ahmad told the World Socialist Web Site “I think it’s also meant to silence me,” he said.
Last week, Ahmad made headlines when he bashed Israel as a terrorist state and called schools Chancellor David Banks a “white supremacist, imperialist scumbag” for his statement condemning the horrific terror attacks by Hamas on Oct. 7th.
He doubled down on his views when reached by The Post, and then told Fox News that the terrorist attack was “a successful military campaign.”
Ahmad previously claimed the Gotham Tech principal has been “supportive” and he does not fear for his job. He said he has become a “punching bag” in what the socialist site called a right-wing witch-hunt against the “Palestinian educator.”
An homage to the Hamas terrorists who parachuted into an Israeli music festival and slaughtered more than 260 people was previously displayed on his Facebook page but has since been changed to simply say, “I stand with Palestine.”
Parents have complained to school leaders, saying the issue has drawn negative attention to the Long Island City school, and some are pleading for their kids to be removed from his class.
“Kids are already affected by his poison,” Gotham Tech parent Karla Rodriquez said at a PTA meeting on Thursday. “He applauds terrorism and violence.”
Rodriguez said parents feel disrespected and dismissed by the school’s silence on the issue. Questions poured into the Zoom chat but principal Cherylann Gill and PTA president Karla Jacome ignored them until the very end.
Linda Quarles, a member of the Citywide Council on High Schools, said the advisory group has received over a dozen inquiries from current Gotham Tech parents, prospective parents and concerned citizens expressing concern, offense and calls for Ahmad’s immediate termination.
The school refused to discuss Ahmad, citing an ongoing investigation, according to Jacome. A town hall meeting will be held once more information is available, she added.
A City Hall spokesperson would not comment on Ahmad’s status, calling it an “internal personnel matter,” but stated, “As with all New York City public schools and districts, we continue to provide support and guidance to the school involved here. Hateful or violent rhetoric has no place in our school system.”

“Calls for Ahmad’s immediate termination.” He needs his life terminated.
Rob R says
so many of them have that demented grin on their face, you know he just gets a kick from being allowed to be insane… he doesn’t actually think Islam is good or “the answer” to anything.
Kristi says
NO ANTISEMITISM it is HATEFUL of JEWISH PEOPLE!!! FIRE thus this teacher NOW!!
Steve says
Seriously his middle name is “Jehad”? Now they have the gall to openly advertise their terrorism plans.
Remember the aftermath of 9/11. Many Moslems living in America tried to hide their religion to escape a backlash.
Now they want to build a mosque right at the spot where the planes hit the buildings.
Ray Jarman says
That was on day two. Day one was the attack itself. The despicable inbred morons believe that once they destroy a church, cathedral or in this case the Twin Towers, they are to build their unholy desecration upon the site just like the mosque in Jerusalem where the ancient Soloman’s Temple originally stood.
