National SJP Exposed

University of Houston Again!

Of particular note is National SJP’s shocking choice of venue for their 2017 conference.

In January 2017 Canary Mission released a damning Report on the University of Houston (UH). The exposé identified various student activists with SJP UH who had posted hatred of Jews and Israel, praise for Hitler, mockery of the Holocaust and threats of violence against Jews on social media.

National SJP failed to denounce the anti-Semitism from activists in SJP UH. Instead, in a shameful display of solidarity, they chose to hold their 2017 conference on the UH campus.




The 2017 National SJP Conference was a showcase of individuals who have spread hatred and bigotry on social media.

The list of outrageous comments from National SJP 2017 Conference attendees includes:

Samer Alhato, National SJP Workshop Leader
