SJP UT Arlington - Anti-Israel Campus Activism

SJP UT Arlington has promoted anti-Israel activities on campus including BDS campaigns.

On October 8, 2015, during the “Knife Intifada” which saw many Palestinian youths stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians, SJP UT Arlington shared a video on Facebook titled: “GRAPHIC: The execution of Fadi Aloun, October 3rd 2015.”

Fadi Aloon posted on Facebook “Either martyrdom or victory” hours before he stabbed a 15-year old Israeli boy. Aloon was shot by Israeli security forces after the attack.

Text SJP UT Arlington posted with the video described the outrage of Israelis at the scene as a “prevailing Nazi like atmosphere.”

On December 29, 2014, SJP UT Arlington shared a video on Facebook demonizing Israel, in order to promote support for BDS.

SJP UT Arlington’s introduction to the video stated: “Next semester we will work towards encouraging the UTA campus to divest from Israeli funding [sic.] products, starting with Sabra Hummus!”

On December 5, 2014, SJP UT Arlington shared a poster on Facebook calling to boycott Sabra.

On November 25, 2014, SJP UT Arlington promoted an event on Facebook supporting Rasmea Odeh.

Odeh was a military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an internationally designated terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a bombing that killed two university students in a Jerusalem supermarket. Odeh also attempted to bomb the British consulate.

On September 4, 2014, SJP UT Arlington held a ‘March for Palestine,’ to protest Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE). The march was co-organized with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at UT Arlington.

OPE was commenced by Israel in July 2014, to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.

Reverend Craig Hunter, of Denton, Ohio’s Trinity Presbyterian Church, spoke at the march. Hunter accused [00:08:33] Israel of “state terrorism.” Hunter also claimed [00:10:37] that “the root problem is Zionism” and equated Israel to Apartheid South Africa.

Protesters marched chanting [00:16:09]: “No more war crimes! No more Apartheid! No more genocide! Free, free Palestine!”

At the conclusion of the march, Jenny Nguyen, the president of SDS, promoted [00:19:17] BDS. Nguyen urged students to start a divestment campaign at UT Arlington and invoked PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled as a role model, mentioning [00:20:43] “that airline hijacking thing.”

Leila Khaled is a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and participated in the hijacking of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970. As of 2017, Khaled was a member of PFLP's Political Bureau. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated [00:36:07] for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.

SJP

SJP is a student organization engaged in anti-Israel activity on North American college and university campuses.

The first chapter of SJP was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley by Professor Hatem Bazian. Bazian has spread classic anti-Semitism, reportedly promoted religious anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group. In 2004, Bazian called for “intifada” in America.

SJP organizes anti-Israel campaigns, including running annual Israel Apartheid Weeks, often in collaboration with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Muslim Students Association (MSA) campus chapters.

SJP has been a major force in pushing the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement on campuses. Chapters have initiated dozens of BDS resolutions in student governments, which have been proposed on or around Jewish holidays, a time when many Jewish students are off-campus.

SJP activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated and harassed Jewish students, disrupted pro-Israel campus events and demonized pro-Israel campus organizations.

Chapters have often endorsed and campaigned for numerous terrorists and whitewashed terrorism.
