If you're still wondering whether Students for 'Justice' in Palestine (SJP) supports and sympathizes with terror, this short thread is for you.

To put it mildly, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

(again, apologies for a long but hopefully helpful thread)

To understand what makes Students for 'Justice' in Palestine a pro-terror organization, we need to start in Beirut:

Yesterday, Saleh al-Arouri - the deputy chairman of Hamas was killed in an airstrike in Lebanon

cnn.com/2024/01/02/mid…

Saleh al-Arouri was a founding commander the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - Hamas' military wing that conducted the October 7 massacre, in which more than 1200 men, women, and children were raped, tortured, and murdered and 250 more were kidnapped

In 2014, al-Arouri orchestrated the kidnapping and execution at point-blank of three Israeli teenagers - one of whom was an American citizen from New York City

In fact, this kidnapping and execution of Naftali Fraenkel - an *American* teenager - and two other Israeli teenagers in 2014 was so horrific that even then Borough President of Brooklyn, Eric Adams (@NYCMayor), saw the need to comment on it

As always, don't take my word for it:

In 2015, al-Arouri was put on the U.S. Department of State (@RFJ_US) Most Wanted List

(Remember: the U.S. acknowledges Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of thousands of civilians, including many U.S. citizens)

Yet, it seems that some people in the U.S. see Saleh al-Arouri not as a horrible terrorist, but rather as a saint.

Here is a screenshot of a post (since deleted) by Within Our Lifetime (WOL) - a pro-Hamas organization.

Remember: WOL *operates freely in New York City*

Within Our Lifetime doesn't only support Hamas, but also enjoy terrorizing Americans.

On New Year's Day, they celebrated the fact that they were able to effectively shut down one of the busiest airports in the U.S.

(if your flight was delayed or canceled, now you know why)

So, how does Saleh al-Arouri (the second-in-command of Hamas) and Within Our Lifetime (the pro-terror organization who views him as a martyr) have to do with Students for 'Justice' in Palestine?

*Remember: WOL is SJP rebranded*

Yet, there is more.

As you know, two pro-Hamas organizations were temporarily suspended from @Columbia - SJP and JVP.

When that happened, WOL came to their aid.

Now, JVP is promoting a call by WOL - the organization that calls terrorists "martyrs" - to 'flood the Bronx'

Let that sink in: a campus organization at @Columbia is joining forces with a pro-terror organization that celebrates the terrorist in charge of the October 7 massacre as a martyr.

This is the reality that we live in (and that @Columbia is refusing to acknowledge)

Yet, there is more....

Here is another organization at @Columbia - this time at @ColumbiaLaw (!)- that promotes the pro-Hamas organization Within Our Lifetime

... and another one, from @Columbia's medical school (@ColumbiaMed)

This can't be overstated: @Columbia has an institutional problem.

For years, @Columbia allowed pro-terror professors to preach the gospel of Hamas.

Now, it's blowing up in their face.

Jew-hatred and Israeli-hatred are just the symptoms.

In sum:

(1) al-Arouri - a high ranking terrorist on the U.S. Most Wanted listed and who is responsible for the Oct. 7 massacre...

(2) ...is celebrated by Within Our Lifetime (which is basically SJP) as a "martyr"...

(3) ...who are then supported by organizations at @Columbia

Why is this important (beyond the fact that there are pro-Hamas organization at @Columbia)?

Because, unless @Columbia bans them for good, the temporary suspension of SJP and JVP will end in 2 weeks.

We cannot let that happen.

The evidence is overwhelming:

(1) SJP and JVP are pro-Hamas - a terror organization responsible for the murder of American civilians.

(2) SJP and JVP have repeatedly violated the terms of their suspension

(3) SJP and JVP use calls for violence that violate school policy

As always, if you've made it this far, please share this thread as widely as you can: retweet, email your friends, send it on WhatsApp.

@Columbia only cares about PR. So, let's make sure the world knows about this.

This is the only way we'll be able to force @Columbia to permanently remove SJP and JVP from campus.
