Support for Terrorists

On November 6, 2018, UofSC SJP tagged Davis in a tweet which included images of bookmarks, two of which featured Khalida Jarrar and Dareen Tatour.

The tweet said: “And this year's Palestinian cultural night, @RaisinBryn [Bryn Davis] designed these AWESOME BOOKMARKS!! Limited supply available, so be sure to stop by tomorrow at the Russell house ballroom from 6-8 pm & grab your copy!! @VisitUofSC @UofSCstudents @UofSCevents.”

Khalida Jarrar is a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror organization. She has reportedly been the head of the PFLP in the West Bank since 2016. In 2015, an Israeli military court sentenced Jarrar to 15 months in prison for calling to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Israel arrested Jarrar again in 2017 “on suspicion of involvement with terrorist activities and violent public disturbances.” In 2019, she was arrested by Israel with 50 other PFLP operatives following a deadly 2018 bombing attack.


In October 2015, Tatour was placed under house arrest for incitement to violence and for support of a terrorist organization on social media. Tatour had supported the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and posted to Facebook: “I am the next shahid [martyr].”  
On September 4, 2018, Davis attended a UofSC SJP discussing “the role women play in the Palestinian liberation struggle.” The Facebook event page listed Rasmea Odeh, Jarrar and Tartour as examples of women at the forefront of the Palestinian movement. At the event, UofSC SJP activists wrote letters of support to Jarrar and Dareen Tatour.  

Odeh was a key military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a PFLP supermarket bombing that killed two college students. She also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Odeh later moved to the United States but was deported to Jordan in 2017 for immigration fraud.

Spreading Anti-Israel Propaganda at a Public School

On May 25, 2018, UofSC SJP tweeted that: “we presented the ongoing mistreatment of Palestinian children at the Hand Middle School. These are the letters the Hand Middle school kids wrote to Ahed! Collages made by @RaisinBryn.” The Hand Middle School is a public school located in Columbia, SC. 

On that same day, UofSC SJP posted to Facebook several collages that Davis reportedly composed using letters written to Tamimi by students.

UofSC SJP commented: “We presented the ongoing mistreatment of Palestinian children at the Hand Middle School. These are the letters the Hand Middle school kids wrote to Ahed!” 

Ahed Tamimi has a long history of physically attacking Israeli soldiers. Tamimi is the daughter of Bassem Tamimi, who is known for exploiting young children as political props in staged confrontations with Israeli soldiers.

SJP Activism

On December 6, 2018, Davis performed in a dance at a UofSC SJP event, “Palestinian Culture Night,” that celebrated the March of Return.

On March 30, 2018, some 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza approached Israel’s border to take part in “Land Day Protests,” or the “March of Return.” The march was organized and funded by Hamas as a campaign of violent protests to spotlight the Palestinian demand to “return” to Israel. The “right of return” has since been discredited as a means to eliminate Israel.  

The violent riots continued until the end of 2018, accompanied by military-style attacks carried out by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and other terror organizations. The attacks included gunfire, armed rioters penetrating Israeli territory, throwing IEDs and hand grenades and launching incendiary kites into Israel.


On November 9, 2018, UofSC SJP posted a photo of the cultural night to Facebook, of the stage with the mock separation wall. A photo of March of Return protesters was projected on the wall behind the stage, along with the phrase “Resistance until Return.”

UofSC SJP posted a photo of the cultural night, with a photo collage with the words: “Jerusalem - Capital of Palestine.”

During the event, UofSC SJP also sold the bookmarks Bryn designed that glorify terrorists.

Davis posed with other UofSC SJP members for a group photo posted on Facebook on November 15, 2018.The pho showed the group tabling for UofSC SJP on campus.

On September 22, 2018, SC SJP tweeted a photo of Davis posing with other UofSC SJP members while tabling for the group.

UofSC SJP - Celebrating Terrorists  

On January 23, 2019, UofSC SJP posted to Facebook: “Joining the intl call to free Ahmad Sa’adat and all political prisoners!”along with a photo of UofSC SJP activists holding signs that demanded “Freedom for Ahmad Sada’at.” 

Ahmad Sa’adat is the Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He is currently sentenced for terror activities, including his role in the 2001 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze’evi and is in an Israeli prison. Under Sa’adat’s leadership, the PFLP perpetrated many suicide bombings against Israeli civilians during the second intifada

In December 2018, UofSC SJP sold bookmarks glorifying Palestinian terrorists Fatima Bernawi, Rasmea Odeh and Khalida Jarrar, as well as terror-inciter Dareen Tatour. 

Fatima Bernawi [Fatima Mohammed Bernawi] was a terrorist with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). She was responsible for a 1967 attempted bombing of a crowded Jerusalem movie theater. Bernawi was sentenced to life in prison but was released after 10 years.

Odeh was a key military operative with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a PFLP supermarket bombing that killed two college students. She also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Odeh later moved to the United States but was deported to Jordan in 2017 for immigration fraud.

Khalida Jarrar is a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror organization. She has reportedly been the head of the PFLP in the West Bank since 2016. In 2015, an Israeli military court sentenced Jarrar to 15 months in prison for calling to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Israel arrested Jarrar again in 2017 “on suspicion of involvement with terrorist activities and violent public disturbances.” In 2019, she was arrested by Israel with 50 other PFLP operatives following a deadly 2018 bombing attack.


In October 2015, Tatour was placed under house arrest for incitement to violence and for support of a terrorist organization on social media. Tatour had supported the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and posted to Facebook: “I am the next shahid [martyr].”  On September 4, 2018, UofSC SJP hosted an event where attendees wrote letters of encouragement to Jarrar, Tatourand Odeh to support their efforts at “resisting Israel.”

On August 3, 2018, UofSC SJP posted to Facebook a PFLP poster that featured a photo of George Habash and his quote “Palestine, all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.”

George Habash, who has been called“the godfather of Middle East terrorism,” founded the terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). In 1970, Habash was the mastermind behind the hijacking of four Western airliners known as the Dawson Field hijackings. In 1972, the PFLP collaborated with Japanese Red Army terrorists to massacre 24 people at Israel's Lod International Airport (renamed Ben Gurion International Airport).


On June 29, 2018, UofSC SJP shared on Facebook a link to an article about Leila Khaled and added: “‘Khaled’s most famous military operations obtained their intended goal and made her a hero in the Middle East and elsewhere.’” 

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.  

On November 21, 2017, UofSC SJP shared an Al Jazeera interview about Marwan Barghouti to Facebook.

Marwan Barghouti is currently serving five consecutive life sentences for his role in suicide bombings and shooting attacks that killed five Israelis during the second intifada


Barghouti led the Palestinian Authority (PA) terrorist Tanzim force and founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. He also financed the guitar-case bomb used in the Sbarro Cafe massacre, where 15 civilians were killed and 130 injured.  


UofSC SJP - Defending Terrorists  

On August 13, 2018, UofSC SJP shared an article to Facebook that defended several“Knife Intifada” terrorists, including Ahmed Manasra and Nurhan Awad.

In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians.


Ahmed Manasra (sometimes spelled Mansara) and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan went on a stabbing spree in Jerusalem on October 12, 2015, during the Knife Intifada. They critically wounded a 13-year-old boy and moderately wounded a 25-year-old man. The spree ended when police shot Hassan and a passing motorist hit Ahmed. Ahmed was taken to an Israeli hospital. He admitted to investigators: “I went there to stab Jews.” He was later tried and convicted on two counts of attempted murder.


Hadeel Awad and her cousin Nurhan Awad were shot after they stabbed two people — including a 70-year-old Palestinian resident of Bethlehem — near Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market. Hadeel was shot by police as she was slashing at other Israeli civilians with scissors.  

The article shared by UofSC SJP on Facebook also praised Lama Hafez al-Bakri.

In December 2015, 16-year-old Lama al-Bakri drew a knife and attempted to stab a pedestrian in the Jewish neighborhood of Kiryat Arba before she was shot. Bakri was then detained for 3 years.    

UofSC SJP- Glorifying Violent Protesters  

On May 14, 2018, UofSC SJP posted to Facebook: “Just today, the number of Palestinian martyrs doubled since the beginning of the #GreatReturnMarch as Israel opened live fire” and added: “demand the US and Israel put an end to this ruthless massacre.”

On March 30, 2018, some 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza approached Israel’s border to take part in the “March of Return” protests. Organized and funded by Hamas, the campaign of violent protests along Israel’s border aimed to spotlight the Palestinian demand to “return” to Israel.

The “right of return” has been discredited as a means to eliminate Israel.

On May 15th, 2018, UofSC SJP launched a photo campaign of UofSC SJP activists and members holding up signs in defense of the March of Return. 

That day, UofSC SJP tweeted: “peaceful Palestinian protestors at the #GreatReturnMarch demanding basic rights are being massacred by Israeli snipers. Israel opened live ammunition murdering over 50 Palestinians yesterday.”

On May 16, 2018, a Hamas senior official, Salah al-Bardawil, stated that 50 out of 62 protesters killed during the May 14 Gaza border protest were Hamas operatives. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) also claimed that three of its members were killed at the same protest.

On September 21, 2018, UofSC SJP posted to Facebook: “We have now entered the 26th week of the #GreatReturnMarch where Palestinians...demand their right of return...israel has opened live ammunition and brutally murders and injuries (nonviolent- btw) Palestinian protestors….We will honor our martyrs.” 

UofSC SJP - Opposing the Anti-Semitism Bill

In 2017, UofSC SJP fought against SC H. 3643, which sought to include the State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism when evaluating hostile environment complaints.

The bill did not pass in 2017, however it was reportedly placed in the 2018-2019 budget and currently applies on college campuses. 

UofSC SJP - Promoting Supporters of Terror  

On April 22, 2018, UofSC SJP co-hosted Joe Catron and Islam Marqa of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). The event’s Facebook page noted that ISM volunteers acted as human shields, writing: “They stayed with resistance fighters trapped under siege in the Nativity Church in Bethlehem.”

The International Solidarity Movement (ISM), founded in 2001, is a movement allegedly “committed to resisting the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land using nonviolent, direct-action methods and principles.”


However, the group has been accused of supporting terrorism and has encouraged its foreign volunteers to act “as human shields in cities, towns and refugee camps.” ISM has also encouraged activists to break curfew and disregard Israeli directives prohibiting access to closed military zones. 


That policy resulted in the death of Rachel Corrie, who was accidentally killed while interfering with an Israeli military operation in 2003. A wrongful death suit brought by Corrie’s family was dismissed, because the judge ruled that Corrie unreasonably chose to put her own life in danger. 


On March 4, 2018, UofSC SJP shared to Facebook an Electronic Intifada (EI) article titled: “How the US jailed five innocent Palestinians.” The UofSC SJP post featured the hashtag “#TheHolyLandFive” (HL5). 

The HLF5 were five individuals associated with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) indicted for funnelling funds to Hamas in the guise of humanitarian aid. 

The men were were all convicted and sentenced in 2009 to federal prison terms ranging from 15 to 65 years.  

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.
