Pro-Palestine ‘Officer of the Year’ Posted Anti-Semitic, Pro-Hitler Tweets

A Cleveland PD 2019 ‘police officer of the year’ is under investigation for a series of anti-Semitic social media posts that included appreciation for Adolf Hitler and Hamas terrorists. Ismail Quran is under examination by the Cleveland Police internal affairs unit for publishing “inappropriate social media content,” a department representative informed reporters on June 20th.

Quran has actually published numerous anti-Semitic messages on social networks, consisting of a “salute to Hitler the great” and messages threatening violence versus Jewish individuals, according to tweets supplied by Canary Mission, a guard dog group that tracks anti-Semitic activity online.

The debate surrounding Quran comes amidst an across-the-country spike in anti-Semitic hate criminal activities that Jewish neighborhood groups have actually considered a pushing emergency situation. The existence of anti-Semitic people on the country’s police is stirring issues that these criminal activities are going unaddressed and pressed to the back-burner as more prominent race-related criminal activities control the headings.

The Cleveland cops department worked with Quran in 2018, a number of years after the majority of the general public tweets were released. Quran existed with a belated 2019 officer of the year award in November 2021, more than a year after Canary Mission initially exposed much of Quran’s anti-Semitic posts.

At the award event, the department stated “Officer Ismail Quran has truly embodied the community policing philosophy for the Cleveland Division of Police.” The Cleveland police department is facing allegations it tried to sweep the controversy under the rug and ignore Quran’s bigotry. The officer is “assigned to administrative duties” while the investigation is underway.

“We initially released Ismail Quran’s profile in January 2019. His large number of anti-Semitic posts were severe and all posted after Quran had completed his first Police Officer Physical Agility Exam,” Canary Mission said in a statement. “We were already concerned that the Cleveland Police Department employed an officer with a record of anti-Semitic hate speech. However, we are shocked and dismayed that the Cleveland Police Department honored Quran later that same year.”

Canary Mission explained Quran as a “dangerous anti-Semite” who must not be permitted to carry out police work.

When requested for comments about Quran’s posts, a Cleveland cops representative notified the Free Beacon that the officer is under investigation, though it is uncertain what the consequences could be.

“The City of Cleveland, Division of Police was made aware of a matter involving a Cleveland Police Officer and inappropriate social media content,” the department said. “The matter has been referred to the Cleveland Division of Police Internal Affairs Unit and the City of Cleveland’s Ethics Officer for thorough investigation.”

The department “insists that officers provide the highest levels of professionalism and respect to all citizens. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated,” the spokesman said, adding that the “officer was hired by the Division of Police in 2018 and is currently assigned to administrative duties.”

Quran’s tweets promote violence against Jewish individuals, applaud Hitler, and traffic in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

In October 2015, he stated, “Lol bum ass Jew tried to intimidate me. … Don’t try that shit with me.”

“The Jewish lobby,” he wrote in August 2014, runs “the USA.”

Quran declared in an August 2014 tweet that the Hamas horror group, which regularly eliminates Jewish civilians in terror attacks, is simply “defending their land.”

In a July 2014 tweet, Quran composed, “Fuck that Jew” in action to a message wanting an Israeli basketball gamer all the best. Quran’s tweet consisted of an image captioned,  “LET ME SALUTE TO HITLER THE GREAT. He said ‘I would have killed all the Jews of the world, but I kept some to show the world why I killed them.'”

Other tweets threaten violence, such as one from 2012 where Quran wrote: “I’ll beat the hell out of you like I do Nadiah the Jew lol.”

Quran likewise has actually stated that “Jews run the world”—an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory—and that “ISIS = Israeli Secret Intelligence Unit.”

The majority of these posts were active since June 2022, however numerous were erased when reports about Quran’s rhetoric started to emerge. Canary Mission has documented all of them on its website.
