A Luxembourg elementary school teacher and Bosnian genocide survivor has been dismissed from her position after the Ministry of National Education ruled that her Instagram posts in support of Gaza constituted “antisemitic expression”.

The ministry’s decision was made without notice on October 7, 2025, a date Fatima described as symbolic and deeply unsettling. She said officials relied on screenshots from her personal Instagram account, where she has more than 111,000 followers and regularly shares commentary critical of ‘Israel’s’ actions in Gaza. According to Fatima, her lawyer reviewed the ministry’s evidence and agreed to take the case, convinced that the accusations lack merit.

Fatima says she has endured repeated police complaints and monitoring from the organization RIAL, which lists her in its annual report on antisemitism. None of the examples cited in the report provide clear evidence of antisemitic statements, according to déi aner. Fatima claims the group has monitored her for nearly two years and that the labeling has taken an emotional toll.
