Hirsi's bio on X features a hammer and sickle — a Soviet-era communist symbol — as Washington Beacon contributor and political commentator Noah Pollak noted on social media.
"Ilhan Omar's psycho daughter just got suspended from Barnard over her Hamas activism, and she has a Soviet hammer & sickle emoji in her bio + pronouns. Perfection," Pollak wrote in a post to X.
Hirsi, who co-founded the U.S. Youth Climate Strike and has received fawning coverage from liberal media outlets, added the infamous symbol to her profile at some point in 2021.
"Barnard College has just suspended Ilhan Omar's daughter for her involvement in pro-Hamas and Iran protests at Columbia University," wrote Brigitte Gabriel, the founder and chairman of ACT For America. "Supporting terrorism should be grounds for immediate expulsion!
"Ilhan Omar doesn’t just hate America, she’s also teaching her kids to hate America," Gabriel wrote in a follow-up post. "Why are we bringing people to America who hate America? This is a road to terrorism."
Emily Schrader, an Israeli-American human rights activist who campaigns against antisemitism, questioned why Hirsi is only facing a suspension and insisted that she "should be expelled."
"Ilhan Omar's daughter suspended from Columbia for her leadership role in unsanctioned antisemitic and pro-terror protests," Schrader wrote in a post on X. "My only question is, why only now, and why only a suspension? She should be expelled. I'll happily pay for a ticket to Gaza for her."
StopAntisemitism — a group that frequently provides its social media followers with the names, accounts and employers of those it says espouse antisemitic viewpoints — also chimed in about the news.
"Seems the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree," the group wrote in a post to X.
The group also included in its post a photo of Omar and her daughter, with the caption reading, "Antisemite Ilhan Omar's daughter, Isra Hirsi, suspended from Barnard/Columbia for radical anti-Israel protesting".

Police began removing the protesters from Columbia University’s campus in New York City on Thursday.
Shafik sent a message to the student body, saying that these "extraordinary steps" were necessary "because these are extraordinary circumstances." She also said that those who established the encampment had "violated a long list of rules and policies."
"Out of an abundance of concern for the safety of Columbia’s campus, I authorized the New York Police Department to begin clearing the encampment from the South Lawn of Morningside campus that had been set up by students in the early hours of Wednesday morning," Shafik said.
Video from the campus showed officers loading dozens of protesters onto police buses.
