Ten facts about SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine), the extremist Hamas linked student group

They advocate for Israel’s destruction, admire terrorists, and are making Jewish students feel unsafe on campuses across the country. They’re Students for Justice in Palestine—and they’re a huge problem.
With summer behind us, students are returning to campuses across North America, and a new wave of student activism is taking up positions on both sides of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The two camps may look similar in terms of funding and fervor, but they differ dramatically in one especially fundamental way: While pro-Israel activism is diverse and defined by innumerable independent groups representing every shade of religious and political nuance, the Palestinian forces are dominated by a single group: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

SJP claims to stand for human rights, specifically the rights of the Palestinian people; and consistently portrays itself as an advocate for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and solidarity with the oppressed.

But a closer look at the group’s rhetoric and actions tells a different story.

Instead of promoting justice, SJP and/or its members spend almost all of their energy demonizing Israel, advocating for its eventual destruction, showing an unfortunate affinity for pro-terrorist figures, bullying and intimidating pro-Israel and Jewish students with vicious and sometimes anti-Semitic rhetoric, and even at times engaging in physical violence. While SJP may pay lip-service to peaceful aims, their rhetoric and actions make it hard to avoid the conclusion that a culture of hatred permeates nearly everything the group does—making the college experience increasingly uncomfortable, at times even dangerous, for Jewish or pro-Israel students. Perhaps equally disturbing is the limited response from university authorities that have an obligation to prevent such attacks and protect Jewish students.

And the risk to Jewish and pro-Israel students appears to be growing. Indeed, unless college administrators take a more active role in preventing it, SJP has a good chance of achieving its goal of turning venomous hatred of Israel and bullying of Jews and non-Jewish supporters—with all the violence and fear that inevitably accompany it—into a legitimate and accepted tactic on North American campuses.

The student organization Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is prominent on many college campuses, preaching a mantra of “Freeing Palestine.” It masquerades as though it were a civil rights group when it is not. Indeed, as an African-American, I am highly insulted that my people’s legacy is being pilfered for such a repugnant agenda. It is thus high time to expose its agenda and lay bare some of the fallacies they peddle.

• If you seek to promulgate the legacy of early Islamic colonialists who raped and pillaged the Middle East, subjugated the indigenous peoples living in the region, and foisted upon them a life of persecution and degradation—you do not get to claim the title of “Freedom Fighter.”

• If you support a racist doctrine of Arab supremacism and wish (as a corollary of that doctrine) to destroy the Jewish state, you do not get to claim that the prejudices you peddle are forms of legitimate “resistance.”

• If your heroes are clerics who sit in Gaza plotting the genocide of a people; who place their children on rooftops in the hopes they will get blown to bits; who heap praises upon their fellow gang members when they succeed in murdering Jewish school boys and bombing places of activity where Jews congregate—you do not get to claim that you are some Apollonian advocate of human virtue. You are not.

• If your activities include grieving over the woefully incompetent performance by Hamas rocketeers and the subsequent millions of Jewish souls who are still alive—whose children were not murdered by their rockets; whose limbs were not torn from them; and whose disembowelment did not come into fruition—you do not get to claim that you stand for justice. You profess to be irreproachable. You are categorically not.

• If your idea of a righteous cause entails targeting and intimidating Jewish students on campus, arrogating their history of exile-and-return and fashioning it in your own likeness you do not get to claim that you do so in the name of civil liberty and freedom of expression.

• You do not get to champion regimes that murder, torture, and persecute their own people, deliberately keep them impoverished, and embezzle billions of dollar from them—and claim you are “pro-Arab.” You are not.

• You do not get to champion a system wherein Jews are barred from purchasing land, traveling in certain areas, and living out such an existence merely because they are Jews—and claim that you are promoting equality for all. You do not get to enable that system by pushing a boycott of Jewish owned businesses, shops, and entities—and then claim that you are “against apartheid.” That is evil.

• You do not get to justify the calculated and deliberate bombings, beatings, and lynchings of Jewish men, women, and children by referring to such heinous occurrences as part of a noble “uprising” of the oppressed—that is racism. It is evil.

• You do not get to pretend as though you and Rosa Parks would have been great buddies in the 1960s. Rosa Parks was a real Freedom Fighter. Rosa Parks was a Zionist.

Coretta Scott King was a Zionist.

A. Phillip Randolph was a Zionist.

Bayard Rustin was a Zionist.

Count Basie was a Zionist.

Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. was a Zionist.

ah damnit there went my coffee all over the screen

- the zionist liars would LOVE for you to forget that fact

they advocate for the destruction of "Israel". And? Since what you call "Israel" is Zionist occupied Palestine, advocating for the destruction of "Israel" would be 100% defensive in nature. It is people who suggest that "Israel" has a right to exist who are being offensive with their rhetoric.

Admire terrorists. What an abuse of the word "terrorist". Palestinians attacking the Zionist occupiers of Palestinian lands are no more "terrorists" than were the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto who tossed molotov cocktails at the NAZI occupiers of Poland. Zionism is the conflict. Palestinian resistance to the conflict that Zionist invaders forced onto the Palestinian locals is only a part of the actual conflict which is the Zionist's chosen war of conflict.

Jewish students feel unsafe. Wow, lets all stand up to protect these students FEELINGS. Lets all fight against freedom of speech to protect the FEELINGS of Jewish students.

The supporter of the Zionist's murderous theft of Palestinian lands (aka, "Israel") is "diverse". Well golly gee, that sure doesn't make the Zionist chosen war of conquest of Palestinian lands any less of a blood soaked offense. It doesn't make the Washington politician's support of the Zionist crusade any less of a blood soaked offense. Nope, when you get down to it, it doesn't change a damned thing. Not one single bit.

No one needs to demonize (vilify for those of you who do not know the made up word Demonize) "Israel". Just telling the facts makes it clear that Zionists are murderous thieves who have no business occupying ANY portion of Palestine.

As for Chloe, what little of your rant that is not false witness, you write of people who you claim supported Zionism's murderous theft of Palestinian lands for the creation of a Jewish state on top of those Palestinian lands. Well, Palestine is not theirs or yours to be giving to the murderous thieving Zionist invaders. Attributing to them the authority of Satan just makes you another Satanist. It doesn't make the offense of Zionism any less of an offense.

On October 11, hundreds will gather at the Malcolm X and Betty Shabbaz Center, in Harlem, to affirm their solidarity with Palestinians under the Israeli apartheid regime.

“The World Stands with Palestine” rally will highlight parallels in the plight of Blacks in the U.S. and Palestinians under occupation.

The Center is housed on the site of Malcolm X’s assassination, in 1965. “Malcolm would have been an African internationalist,” said hip hop artist and activist M-1. “To have the rally in the former Audubon Ballroom completes the cycle.”

One election once does not a democracy make. Antiisrael forces would like you to forget that

war criminals, terrorists and being 'masters of the universe' ^ are their concerns
