On October 6, 2015, during the “Knife Intifada,” NYC SJP co-sponsored a “Day of Rage” event in order to show support for a “Day of Rage” called for by “Palestinian forces.” So-called “Days of Rage” in October of 2015 resulted in the deaths of Israeli civilians by shootings, stabbings and car rammings. Protesters at the rally screamed: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, “Long Live the Intifada! Intifada! Intifada!” and “Settler settler go back home, Palestine is ours alone!"

Anti-Zionism Week

During May 8 -11, 2017, SJP at the University of California, Irvine (SJP UCI) co-hosted “Anti-Zionism week” with the Muslim Students Union (MSU UCI) and two other groups.

On May 11, 2017, in honor of Anti-Zionism week, SJP UCI and MSU UCI demonstrators held up signs reading “Long live the Intifada.”

Disrupting IDF Reservist’s Speech: On May 10, 2017, 40 SJP UCI and MSU UCI student activists shut down a panel event that featured Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reservists from Israel’s Muslim, Christian, Jewish, LGBTQ+, Arab and Bedouin communities. The reservists were volunteers with the NGO “Reservists on Duty.”

The protesters serially interrupted the panelists, yelled at the attendees and chanted over speakers as they were answering questions from other students.

Some of the protesters wore t-shirts sold earlier in the week by MSU UCI, in the course of Anti-Zionism week, imprinted with the words “UC Intifada.”

The protesters left the room when the campus police were called, but remained outside in the hall, blocking the main exit with chants of “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free,” and “Intifada, Intifada! Long live the Intifada.”  

Event attendees had to be safely escorted from the room by police.

Disrupting a Film Screening: In May 18, 2016, SJP UCI disrupted a pro-Israel film screening, laying siege to attendees. Approximately fifty anti-Israel activists yelled obscenities, physically blocked students, and attempted to force their way into the room where the event was being held.

Celine Qussiny, who was then the co-chair of SJP UCI, led the protesters in yelling “Intifada, Intifada! Long live the Intifada!” and “When people are occupied, resistance is justified.” Qussiny also reportedly yelled “F**k Israel!” Other anti-Israel protesters reportedly shouted, “All white people need to die.” 

Prior to, as well as following the protest, the #UCIntifada hashtag was used by a number of individuals, as well as by SJP UCI’s Twitter account.

Posting Support for Terrorism:  On October 8, 2015, Brooklyn College SJP (Brooklyn SJP) posted a graphic to Facebook during the “Knife Intifada.” 

The post declared support for “THE THIRD INTIFADA” and called the wave of terror a “spike” in Palestinian “resistance to Israeli oppression.”

SJP founder, UC Berkeley professor, Hatem Bazian, openly expressed his support for “intifada” in 2004 and showed tacit support for “intifada” all the way back in the 1980’s.

As a graduate student at San Francisco State University (SFSU) in the 1980’s, Bazian rose to become president of the General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) chapter at SFSU. Perhaps his most notable achievement as GUPS president was his rejection of an invitation to forge a "peace treaty" during the First Intifada with SFSU's Jewish Student Action Committee.

It was at an April 2004 San Francisco rally in support of the Iraqi insurgency, that Bazian’s made his true position public. At the rally, Bazian called for an “intifada” in the United States:

Bazian asked the crowd:

“Are you angry? Are you angry? Are you angry? Well, we've been watching intifada in Palestine, we've been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don't have an intifada in this country [USA]?”

He continued:

“it's about time that we have an intifada in this country [USA] that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here. And we know...they're gonna say it’s some Palestinian being too radical, well you haven't seen radicalism yet!”

On October 27, 2013, Bazian tweeted a call to free terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti, whom he labelled “Palestine’s Mandela.” Barghouti, who is currently serving five life sentences for terrorism in an Israeli prison, headed the Palestinian Authority’s terrorist Tanzim force and founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Barghouti’s organizations carried out a large number of deadly attacks, killing and wounding scores of Israelis during the Second Intifada.

On October 21, 2015, during an upsurge in violence across Israel known as the “Knife Intifada,” Bazian tweeted an article that justified the increase in terror attacks on Israelis. The article, titled the “The 100-year Intifada,” also implied that Palestinians have both a moral and historical duty to carry out violent uprisings against Israel.

After a 13-year-old Israeli girl, Hallel Ariel, was stabbed to death in her bed by a Palestinian terrorist on June 30, 2016, Bazian tweeted an article blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies for the crime. 

Ahmed Hamad’s LinkedIn said he is a 2014 graduate of Columbia College in Chicago (Columbia). Hamad is an SJP activist an, in October 2015, led [00:00:11] hundreds of people at a demonstration in chants of “Intifada! Intifada! Intifada! Intifada! We Support the intifada!”
