A suspect in the shooting attack at a kosher deli in Jersey City pushed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and praised past attacks on Jewish people in New York and killings of police officers, according to social media posts seen by NBCNews.

The username Dawada Maqabath appears across various other social sites and forums, with posts celebrating violence against police and spreading conspiracy theories about Jewish people.

NBC News found social media and internet posts linked to Anderson and the Maqabath username going back more than seven years. Anderson was prolific online until 2015, when his posting seems to have stopped. In 2014, he was using several online aliases, including Baryon Bloodbourne and AKANapoleonHill to promote hip hop music that he recorded.

Anderson often criticized law enforcement on his online profiles, and made claims that he had been mistreated during stints in prison. On Instagram, Anderson posted selfies from the small store he operated out of his van, selling snacks, hats, and other sundries. His final post, in January 2015, was a picture of Jesus as a black man standing in front of a large menorah, a meme popular with Black Hebrew Israelites.In 2016, Anderson appeared online again, using his photo but under the Maqabath handle.

MikePerryavatar Hell, Social Media hasn't always existed. I'd miss you guys something terrible, but if it would help save lives

Vicki45424407 I guess he is just one of the 'very fine people'.

Well done Trump and Corbyn you monsters 😡😡😡

That didn't take long

Social media post? We have conservatives getting ban from social media for nothing.

EmilyShapiro1 Gee so surprising.

If one of the shooters were allegedly Hebrew Israelites, then how would they be anti-Semitic when they always say “black ppl are the real Jews.”? Then this wouldn’t be a hate crime. And then the story said it was a drug deal gone wrong. Something’s not right.

Sounds like a MAGATerrorist and NRA flunky.

This is on realDonaldTrump and NRA

realDonaldTrump YOUR FAULT 👆

I'm old enough to remember when the media portrayed the Black Israelites as a benign group to advance its catholic school students lie.
