The State Department said Wednesday that a Michigan woman who recently posted a video supporting Palestinians who stab Jews once served as a volunteer on a State Department program that works to create positive change in the Middle East.

Responding to questions TheBlaze posed to the department Sunday, a State Department spokesperson said Wednesday that the video inciting to violence “does not represent the values” of the program in which the woman served.

Lina Allan, the pro-Palestinian activist, posted a video on YouTube last week titled “Is Stabbing Jews Haram [Forbidden]?” in which she blasted Muslims who argue that stabbing attacks are forbidden under Islamic law.

The Middle East Media Research Institute, which translated the Arabic-language video, reported that Allan told Jordan’s Roya TV in 2012 that she had represented the State Department’s U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative at the Jameed Festival in Jordan, a food and culture event honoring rural women.

A State Department spokesperson told TheBlaze via email Wednesday, “Lina Allan was one of many independent volunteers that helped organize a single activity in Jordan.”
