Spreading Hatred of Israel
On April 1, 2018, Jadallah tweeted: “Like I really can't get over that Western governments and media will barely bat an eye at the fact that Israeli soldiers LITERALLY SHOT *HUNDREDS* OF PROTESTORS YET ISRAEL STILL CLAIMS TO BE A LIBERAL DEMOCRACY AND REMAINS IN GOOD INTERNATIONAL STANDING.”Jadallah tweet referred to Israel’s response to violent riots, instigated by Hamas on Israel’s Gaza border. Thousands of rioters attempted numerous breaches of Israel’s border fence and participants declared their intention to harm Jews across the border, under the pretext of “peaceful resistance.”

Demonizing America and Israel
On June 19, 2018, Jadallah tweeted: “1. As if US presence on the Human Rights Council matters for human rights on the ground.” Jadallah continued: “2. As if the US is some type of moral authority on human rights.” Jadallah added: “3.

Jadallah wrote: “Awesome webinar happening rn if you want to learn about Israel's role in propping up oppressive right-wing regimes throughout the world via arms sales and military training. My cousin is co-presenting!”

Supporting SJP
On January 17, 2017, after Fordham University blocked the formation of an SJP chapter on campus, Jadallah tweeted: “Reminder to immediately fight anybody who delegitimizes boycott of Israel and encourages ‘dialogue’ instead.”Jadallah continued: “Send an email to Fordham Dean Keith Eldredge (eldredge @ http://fordham.edu ) calling on him to reverse his decision to ban SJP.” Jadallah added: “You can DM me if you want help writing a draft! But rly please do this, it's a simple action you can take to stand for Palestinian rights.”
Fordham reportedly blocked the formation of a Fordham SJP chapter “based on the reported behavior of other [SJP] chapters on other campuses,” indicating that “the establishment of a local branch could be ‘polarizing’ and pose a safety concern to students and faculty.”
On January 19, 2017, Jadallah tweeted: “Solidarity to @FordhamSJP, I just got some condescending emails from administrators at your campus when expressing objection to censorship.” Fordham SJP replied: “I guess they've started responding. Care to screenshot?” Jadallah tweeted: “DM'd you.”
On September 13, 2016, in response to the suspension of a 2016 UC Berkeley course, titled “Palestine: a Settler Colonial Analysis” that promoted the dismantling the Jewish state, Jadallah tweeted: “Suspended for being politically motivated
The course was sponsored by SJP Founder Hatem Bazian and was facilitated by SJP UC Berkeley student activist, Paul Hadweh.
On September 14, 2016, Jadallah tweeted: “I'm trying to see what's up w SJP currently. But for now Dr. Bazian is asking people to call and email Dirks.”
The course was suspended on September 13, 2016, after 43 Jewish, civil rights and education advocacy groups expressed worry over its content and presentation. Despite public concern over anti-Semitism that accompanied the anti-Israel sentiment prevalent on UC campuses, however, the course was almost immediately reinstated.
Within the week, however, flyers appeared throughout the UC Berkeley campus, reading: “Jewish bullies smash free speech at CAL and are pledged $38 billion. Attention Non-Jews: PAY UP and SHUT UP!”
On October 27, 2016, Jadallah tweeted: “Bears for Israel counterprotesting the Day of Action for Palestine make me 😡😡😡” Jadallah continued: “Like how does anybody choose to invest their time and energy toward activism for an apartheid colonial state idgi” He added: “My blood pressure is literally high rn.”
On that day, as part of the International Day of Action for Palestine — Bears for Palestine and SJP UC Berkeley co-organized a campus event. Then-UC Berkeley student Unis Barakat, led protesters, who chanted: “1-2-3-4, Israel is racist to the core… 5-6-7-8 We divest from racist states,” and “How do you spell Justice? BDS!” Demonstrators handed out fliers calling Zionism “racism.”
Supporting BDS
On November 12, 2016, Jadallah tweeted: “@noname I'd still really like to have a productive convo with you about the importance of a cultural boycott of Israel!”On March 10, 2015, Jadallah tweeted: “BDS does not equate to anti-Semitism in any way, shape, or form.. And saying that it does is solely an attempt to delegitimize the movement”
On March 9, 2014, Jadallah tweeted: “#BDS is NOT #antisemitism, it's a valid pol. movement seeking to aid Palestine in its struggle for self-determination against imperialism!!!”
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.
BDS
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by Omar Barghouti in 2005 to challenge “international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.” BDS is an allegedly “Palestinian-led movement,” although leading BDS activists have admitted [00:01:01] this is not true.
One of the demands of BDS includes [point 3] what is generally known as the “right of return,” a demand discredited as a way to eliminate Israel. Barghouti said the “right of return” is a means to “end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.”
Barghouti has said that BDS “aims to turn Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.”
In his activism, Barghouti has also said [00:05:55] regarding Israel: “Definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No…rational Palestinian, not a sellout Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
The movement has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and received a public endorsement from Hamas in 2017.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments and student groups, backed by their own anti-Israel members and affiliates, have proposed resolutions on some form of boycott of, or divestment from, Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities.
Boycott resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.
BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. On one campus, when the student government debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats against those opposing it.
