Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses.

While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about @Columbia University.

(this thread may be a bit long, but trust me: it's worth it)
At @Columbia, the pro-Hamas protests have been primarily led by Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine (SJP).
Before I begin, one thing needs to be made clear:

I have never spoken against any @Columbia student nor have I ever called for the ‘doxxing’ of our students.

My problem is the pro-terror *organizations* that are operating on @Columbia’s campus.
So, what is Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine all about?

This organization was founded in 2001 by Hatem Bazian at @UCBerkely.

From its inception (and despite the lies they perpetuate), SJP called for violence in the United States
Here is a short clip of the founder of Students for 'Justice' in Palestine calling for an armed uprising in the U.S., just like the one in Iraq.

Reminder: Hatem Bazian is, at this very moment, a professor @UCBerkely
SJP has never hidden its support for terror.

In 2014, SJP raised funds for Rasmea Odeh – a terrorist convicted of bombing a crowded supermarket and murdering Leon Kanner and Eddie Joffe – two undergraduate students at @HebrewU

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization*
For years, SJP has openly supported Hamas.

Hamas is a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Don’t take my word for it.

Here is the official list of foreign terror organizations that are recognized by the U.S. State Department Bureau of Counterterrorism,

state.gov/foreign-terror…
So, what does this support of Hamas look like?

SJP’s social media accounts glorify terrorists who have orchestrated the murder and kidnapping of civilians.

This is akin to celebrating Osama Bin Laden for orchestrating 9/11.

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization* Image
Every July, SJP celebrates the life of Ghassan Kanafani – a terrorist who orchestrated the largest massacre of Israeli civilians prior to October 7.

(my family lives 15 minutes away from Lod airport)

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization*

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lod_Airpo…
Image
SJP celebrates terrorists who target any civilian, not just Israeli ones.

Here is a post celebrating a terrorist who hijacked an *American airplane*.

On board was Thomas Boyatt – a high ranking U.S. diplomat.

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization* Image
Now, let’s take a look at what SJP had to say about the October 7 Massacre, in which Hamas terrorist raped teenage girls, executed babies, and kidnapped more than 250 civilians (*including 14 U.S. citizens!*)
Here are some excerpts from the official letter from the national chapter of SJP, *written on the day of the October 7 massacre*

SJP calls rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping of civilians a ‘historic win’

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization* Image
The national chapter of SJP calls terrorists who rape teenagers, murder babies, and kidnap old women “resistance fighters” and “martyrs”

(Notice the first person plural. They view Hamas terrorists as *their* martyrs)

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization* Image
Celebrating violence against Israeli civilians is not enough for SJP.

They also call for confrontations on all U.S campuses.

(Some people may find this extremely telling - the national chapter of Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine refuses to acknowledge the U.S. by name) Image
SJP views rape, murder, and kidnapping as *legitimate* and *necessary*

My 93 years old grandmother lives in Israel. SJP believes that kidnapping her would be a necessary act of resistance.

These are their words, not mine.

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization* Image
But here is the smoking gun.

Maybe the most telling thing about Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine is that they are merely a mouthpiece for Hamas. Image
Again, don’t take my word for it.

Listen to this message from a Hamas spokesperson on the day of the October 7 Massacre
Now, let’s focus on @Columbia.

SJP at @Columbia will tell you that they are merely protesting the war in Gaza.

That’s a lie.

As you can clearly see, the @Columbia SJP chapter already mobilized on October 7, *while the massacre of civilians by Hamas was still taking place* Image
In fact, a mere five days after the October 7 massacre (and weeks before even a single Israeli soldier set foot in Gaza), the @Columbia chapter of SJP orchestrated a protest to celebrate the rape, murder, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians.
After repeatedly breaking @Columbia’s policies for holding unauthorized protests, SJP was temporarily suspended from campus.

In response, they call their friends from Within Our Lifetime (WOL) – an even more radical pro-terror organization.
Like @Columbia’s chapter of SJP, Within Our Lifetime also believe that raping teenagers, executing babies, and kidnapping the elderly are all legitimate forms of resistance. Image
So, what is this organization called Within Our Lifetime?

In February 2018, the New York City chapter of Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine was renamed Within Our Lifetime.

*WOL is basically SJP, re-branded.*
In fact, Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine clearly take their cues from the Within Our Lifetime playbook.

Here are some recommended chants from the WOL ‘rally toolkit’:

@NYPD, KKK, IDF, They’re all the same

There is only one solution! Intifada revolution!
And, of course, their personal favorite:

(Notice that they are not even pretending to say that they are chanting for coexistence. They don’t want Jews in Israel. They are literally saying the quiet part out loud.) Image
If you still have doubts about what Intifada means in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, see here:

Remember: these organizations don’t just hate Israel. They deeply despise the U.S. as well.

Here’s a video from a Within Our Lifetime *on July 4* in which protestors cheer for the burning of both the Israeli and American flags:

Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine and Within Our Lifetime will tell you that they are non-violent.

This is a lie.

They regularly incite riots all across New York City in which they target @NYPD police officers.
Don’t take my word for it.

Here is a video from May 2021 of Within Our Lifetime protestors rioting against @NYPD officers.

This is happening here, in the U.S. Not in Israel. Not in Gaza. Here, in New York City.
After being dispersed by the cops, the Within Our Lifetime mob went on an antisemitic rampage across New York City.
In one instance, they targeted a 31-year-old Jewish man, just because he was wearing his yarmulke.

(I should warn you, this video is difficult to watch)

Remember: Within Our Lifetime is just SJP re-branded.

*This is what makes SJP a pro-terror organization*
Here is what the victim of their non-violence looked like after the attack: Image
Here is what one of the assailants had to say about the attack:

“If I could do it again, I would do it again, I have no problem doing it again.”

nypost.com/2021/05/22/no-…
There are many more examples of the terror-sympathizing, hateful rhetoric of Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine.

This is not about individual students.

*This is about a well-funded pro-terror organization that operates across more than 200 (!) U.S. campuses.*
This is what the President of @Columbia University is unwilling to put a stop to.

This is why we must all ask Congresswoman @virginiafoxx to issue a subpoena and force the President of @Columbia to testify in front of the U.S. Congress.
To learn more about the how Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine operate, orchestrate their lies, and recruit naïve students all across the U.S., I recommend that you follow this guy: @thestustustudio
If you've made it all the way to the end of these thread, I kindly ask you to retweet this, so we can get the word out.

Every American parent needs to know about this pro-terror organization that is operating on their kids' college campus.

The most important thing that you need to have in a negotiation in leverage.

(A thread)
Currently, Hamas has two sources of leverage in the negotiations for a ceasefire or an armistice:

The hostages and the moral support on U.S. campuses.
Holding 101 hostages (including the youngest, Kfir Bibas, and oldest, Shlomo Mansour, hostages in the world), and having complete disregard for Israeli and Palestinian lives is an obvious source of leverage for Hamas.

Yet this leverage is not enough.

Hamas needs moral support.

Sylvie Tuder, a Hamas supporter at @UNC, is openly calling for the removal of Jewish institutions (Hillel) from campus.

Her wealthy parents are Jeff and Regan Tuder, from Princeton, NJ.

They pay for her to go to school and spew hate against Jews.

(video by @SloanRachmuth)
Her parents can't be blamed for their daughter's antisemitism.

Yet, they also can't be let off the hook.
This is the email I sent the investment firm where her father is a partner. Image

📢📢Body cam footage from yesterday's Hamas-supporting riot at @Columbia.📢📢

(a thread with pretty damning videos)
After an Imam told the Hamas supporters at @Columbia to go after me, and after the administration refused to do anything about that, I decided to by a body camera.

I wanted to protect myself from their lies and hatred.
Unfortunately, I am not the only Jewish person who has done so in the past months.

This has become our reality.

.@Columbia University capitulated today to Hamas supporters.

(a long thread with videos)

(tldr; it's a shit show)
An amazing group of Jewish students at @Columbia organized two incredible memorials on campus:

a) A beautiful immersive art installation commemorating October 7

b) A memorial service with speakers and songs.

This is how we mourn.

We create.

I'm so proud of these students.

But this, for some reason, was offensive to the pro-Hamas students and faculty at @Columbia.

And so, they attacked.

They protested our memorial service.

And @Columbia went along.

After all, they openly praise the October 7 Massacre:

When Universities Fail to Enforce Their Own Rules: A Case Study in Institutional Indifference to Antisemitism

(A long but hopefully eye-opening thread about the behind-the-scenes hypocrisy at @Columbia University)
A couple of months ago, @Columbia's previous president resigned and made way to a new, interim president, Ms. Katrina Armstrong.
I am a big believer in giving people the benefit of the doubt rather than being quick to judge.

So, the moment I heard the news, I sent the new president a congratulatory email.

I never got a response. Image

Pro-terror student organizations at @Columbia University held a protest in support of Hezbollah, a U.S. designated terrorist organization that has murdered more than 400 *American* citizens.

What does anti-American hatred on U.S. soil look like?

(A thread)
Hatred at @columbia looks like this, with calls for globalizing terrorism and suicide bombings
Hatred at @Columbia looks like this, with calls in Arabic for Israel to be eliminated and for Jews be murdered or driven out, so that "from water to water, Palestine will be Arab"
