The middle-class upstate New York mom accused of donating $30,000 to a deadly anti-Israel terrorist group “turned more Muslim” after Oct. 7 and even forced her own young daughter to wear a hijab, neighbors told The Post. Catherine Beth Washburn — a 37-year-old mom of two from Irondequoit — who allegedly led a home-grown anti-Israel extremist group, began wearing Muslim garb shortly after the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023, according to neighbors who described the radical as standoffish and unfriendly.
