Have they NO shame? Anti-Semitic college group ‘Students for Justice in Palestine’ are plotting a ‘Day of Resistance’ in support of ‘historic win’ against Israel after Hamas killed 1,200 people
A pro-Palestine group labeled anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League is planning a ‘Day of Resistance’ across college campuses in support of the Hamas attacks in Israel that have killed 1,200.
Students for Justice in Palestine was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley and has more than 200 chapters across the United States, Canada and New Zealand.
While the ADL claims that the group says ‘they reject anti-Semitism, they also regularly demonize Jewish students who identify as Zionists or proud supporters of the state of Israel.’
The group announced on their Instagram feed on Monday that they will be holding a ‘Day of Resistance’ in the wake of the Hamas attacks this coming Thursday, October 12, in the latest example of radical campus activism.
In an Instagram post, they shockingly described the attacks: ‘we people have broken down the artificial barriers of the Zionist entity, taking with them the facade of an impenetrable settler colony and reminding each of us that total return and liberation to Palestine is near . ‘

They appear to support the violent tactics of Hamas and their surprise terrorist attack.
“The Palestinian resistance took the enemy completely by surprise and captured more than a dozen settlements around Gaza, along with many occupation soldiers and military vehicles,” the post continued. “This is what it means for Free Palestine: not just slogans and rallies, but armed confrontation with the oppressors.”
The group regularly hand out literature which shows members how they can frame messages and narratives at protests.
They hope to ‘contextualize, frame, and above all normalize and support our fearless resistance’.
SJP goes so far as to argue that Israelis are not civilians because ‘settlers are not civilians’ and that they are merely ‘military assets used to ensure continued control of stolen Palestinian land.’
‘When people are occupied, resistance is justified’, they conclude in a ‘National Day of Resistance Toolkit.’
The ADL, in a “backgrounder” on the group, claims that SJP has disrupted student pro-Israel events, built “mock apartheid walls” and “fake eviction notices” to demonstrate what they see as Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.
“As proponents of ‘anti-normalization’ between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel advocates, they make it more difficult for groups with divergent views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to work together and reach mutual understanding,” they write.

New York University, the University of Arizona, Penn State, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado at Boulder are among the campuses that will reportedly participate, Jewish Insider reported.
NYU was the focus of one of several controversies over student rhetoric in the wake of the attacks, as the president of the Law School Bar Association withdrew a job offer from a pro-LGBTQ+ law firm after she said Hamas’ massacre of children in Israel were ‘needed’.
It comes after students at several Ivy League institutions, including Harvard and Columbia, condemned Israel after the war broke out.
Students at Stanford University also showed their support for Hamas by hanging bed sheets with slogans from their dormitories.
A group of 31 Harvard organizations, including its branch of Amnesty International, placed the blame on Israel for Hamas’ brutal, surprise attack.
The organizations released a letter to the public on Sunday as a ‘Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine’ to condemn Israel in the wake of the violence.
They said Hamas’ attacks, which are still ongoing, ‘did not happen in a vacuum’ and the Israeli government forced Palestinians to live in an open-air prison for more than two decades.’
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime fully responsible for all unfolding violence,” the groups wrote.
A Columbia student organization joined the chorus of obfuscation by calling the terrorism a “counter-offensive.”
The Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said: ‘The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties lies undeniably with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments,’ said the statement, which was also signed by a group called Jewish Voice for Peace .

CSU faculty were seen taking down the group’s previous banners, but it was unclear about their stance on the protest poster
Ryna Workman, 24, a non-binary student at NYU’s School of Law sent out a weekly newsletter saying that the innocent slaughter of Israeli children, women and civilians over the past week is Israel’s “full responsibility.”
The bullet-riddled bodies of Israeli residents now lie on the ground among burnt-out houses, strewn furniture and burnt-out cars. Solemn Israeli soldiers went from house to house today to take away the many people who were killed there.
The death toll among Israelis now stands at more than 1,000 – making it the single largest massacre of Jewish people since Hitler’s Holocaust.
Israel and the IDF’s counter-offensive also caused mass deaths in Gaza after a ‘total siege’ of the region was ordered.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said authorities would cut off electricity to the Gaza Strip and block the entry of food and fuel, declaring that his troops were ‘fighting barbarians (terrorists) and would respond accordingly’.
The airstrikes have so far leveled many towns in the Palestinian enclave’s northeastern corner, which Hamas terrorists have used as a staging ground for their attacks.
The war was launched by Hamas in the early hours of Saturday, during the Jewish high holiday of Simchat Torah.
Terrorists massacred 260 Israeli revelers at a festival in a hail of bullets, with survivors describing how the gunmen went ‘tree by tree’ to execute victims.

Many lay still in sheer terror for more than five hours before hearing the sound of armed rescuers speaking in Hebrew.
President Joe Biden delivered a dramatic speech on Tuesday in which he pledged to stand with Israel and denounce the “unadulterated evil” of terrorist attacks that killed more than 1,000 people, including 14 Americans, over the weekend set.
Biden’s comments come three full days since he released a short video following the initial attack on Saturday. He has been criticized for a slow response to the crisis, hosting a barbecue for staff on Sunday and not appearing in public on Monday.
But he broke his silence with a speech dripping with anger at the atrocities unleashed by Hamas terrorists and warned that American citizens were also among the civilians captured.
“You know there are moments in this life — I mean that literally — when pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world,” he said, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
‘The people of Israel went through such a moment this weekend.’
