Dana Saifan
Overview
Dana Saifan created a platform that re-branded terrorists as “martyrs,” expressed support for the “intifada” and demonized Israel. Saifan was the 2012-2013 president of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).Saifan also led intimidation efforts against two former undergraduate student government council members who participated in trips to Israel that were sponsored by pro-Israel Jewish organizations.
Saifan has been a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)’s Facebook group: “Palestinian Youth Movement - حركة الشباب الفلسطيني” since 2012 and a member of the “PYM - San Diego” Facebook group since 2014.
Saifan was the 2010-2011 student representative of Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition.
Saifan is also the author of the blog If Olive Trees Could Speak.
As of October 2018, Saifan was listed as a PhD candidate in clinical psychology and a graduate student with Child F.I.R.S.T. at UCLA. Saifan was also listed as a 2014 UCLA graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology.
Honoring Terrorists
Saifan is the co-founder of the Humanize Palestine website and Facebook page that seeks to “honor and recognize all Palestinians, regardless of geographic location, killed by the Israeli Occupation.”Humanize Palestine’s About page claims it "...attempts to honor the deceased as martyrs by bringing them back to life through their pictures, stories, art, and poetry..."
The site honored Islamic Jihad terrorists Wassim Shurab and Mohannad Yousef Dheir as well as Hamas members Salah Hassanein and Mustafa and Khaled Abu Mur, who, the site says, “died together in Rafah in defense of their nation.”
The site also honored 2015 Knife Intifada terrorists Mohanad Halabi and Bahaa Alyan, as well as attempted-murderers Fadi Alloun, Hassan Manasra and Fadil Qawasmi.
On October 3, 2015, during Israel’s “Knife Intifada,” 19-year-old Mohanad Halabi murdered two Israeli rabbis in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City. The wife and child of one of the victims were also injured. The day before the murder, Halabi, a member of the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), had reportedly posted to his Facebook page: “The third Intifada is here"and "Wake up from your slumber and save al-Aqsa. Let the revolution erupt.”
Fadi Aloon was shot by Israeli security forces after he stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli boy. Several hours before the attack, Aloon posted “Either martyrdom or victory” on his Facebook page.
The Manasras’ stabbing spree was interrupted when police shot Hassan and a passing Israeli motorist hit Ahmed.
Supporting the Intifada
On January 2, 2015, Saifan authored a blog post where she expressed regret that growing up as a “Palestinian living in the diaspora” there was little she could do in “the struggle for liberation...except to take to the streets or passively watch footage of the Second Intifada on the television.”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.
On July 23, 2013, Saifan authored a blog post where she encouraged “the possibility of a ‘Third Intifada’, the possibility of Palestine joining the Arab Spring and a revolution taking place” adding: “We viewed the First and Second Intifadas as times of resistance, times of progress, times that symbolized[sic] change.”
Demonizing Israel
On July 27, 2018, Saifan authored a blog post titled: “The violence of colonization: Revisiting Jaffa,” where she characterized Israel as “colonization and militarization,” referred to Israelis as “colonizers” and the Israel Defense Force (IDF) as the “Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF).”On May 16, 2016, Saifan co-authored an op-ed in UCLA’s student newspaper, the Daily Bruin, titled: “Palestinian ethnic cleansing from Israel is ongoing, must be stopped.”
The article claimed Israel’s founding was based on a “campaign of ethnic cleansing” that is “ongoing to date – 68 years later” as part of “Israel’s ongoing effort to eliminate” Palestinians.
On June 6, 2016, Saifan co-authored a post on SJP at UCLA’s website defending her May 16th Daily Bruin op-ed and doubled down on on the claim that Israel is committing an “ongoing ethnic cleansing and displacement” of Palestinians.
On January 2, 2015, Saifan authored a blog post where she referred to Israel’s security fence as the “Apartheid wall” and a “cage,” and claimed that Palestinians are being “animalized.”
Saifan also declared that “Soon, we can declare that the land of our parents and grandparents is free...from villages like Anabta to coastal cities like Jaffa, and every inch in between.”
On August 4, 2014, during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE), Saifan posted to Facebook: “Call on the University of California to divest from corporations that profit off the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”
Israel commenced Operation Protective Edge (OPE) in July 2014, to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.
On July 14, 2014, Saifan characterized OPE as Israel’s “attack on Gaza” on her Facebook page and encouraged her Facebook followers to “Contact your congressmen, and tell them to cut US funding to Israel,” adding “#GazaUnderAttack.”
On May 15, 2014, Saifan tweeted: “‘The state of Israel has used Palestinian women’s bodies to execute blatantly racist policies’ #Nakba.”
Saifan attached to her tweet a link to a now-privated article, authored by Bayan Abusneineh, titled "Gendering al Nakba." The article claimed that Israel intentionally perpetuates “sexual violence” and “exploitation” against Palestinian women as a tool to control and destroy Palestinian culture.
The article also reportedly said that “because European Jews were not part of the Arab and Palestinian culture, they were exempted from such codes and thus exploited women, fully aware of how the Palestinian population would react. Zionist gangs raped and butchered young girls and women, cut open the stomachs of pregnant women and ripped out the fetuses before killing them.”
On July 3, 2013, Saifan authored a blog post where she used Holocaust imagery to demonize Israel, claiming that during Israel’s defensive War of Independence in 1948, Israel committed “ethnic cleansing.”
Saifan also labeled Israelis as “racist outsiders” and claimed that Israel steals Palestinian antiquities.
On July 1, 2013, Saifan authored a blog post claiming that Israel targeted Palestinian children to “ruin their futures and not be able to resist the occupation they lived under.”
Saifan wrote that in the Palestinian village of Anata, “Israel had built a wall on the other side of the school, firing into the school each day to try to get children to leave. Kids were shot and killed on their way to and from school, sending a message to families that Palestinian youth can not and should not be educated, because education is a threat.”
Saifan added that “the shooting was not enough. They put free and accessible drugs in the schools, trying to make the young kids addicted.”
On January 7, 2013, Saifan co-authored an op-ed in the Daily Bruin that claimed that “Israel operates on policies of racial segregation” and compared Israel to a “system of discrimination similar to that which existed in Apartheid South Africa and even in the American South during Jim Crow.”
On November 15, 2012, Saifan hosted an UCLA SJP anti-Israel demonstration protesting against Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense (OPD).
Saifan’s Facebook event description declared “We need to mobilize EVERYONE to demand an end to the killings and to demand the US government stops supporting Israel's human rights violations.”
Israel launched OPD to stop Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilians from Gaza. Over the course of eight days in November 2012, Palestinian terrorist groups fired more than 1,500 rockets at Israel. The majority struck Israel, damaging homes, schools and other civilian areas. Human Rights Watch noted: “Palestinian armed groups made clear in their statements that harming civilians was their aim.”
On January 2, 2011, Saifan authored a short poem on her blog where she characterized Israel’s Operation Cast Lead (OCL)as “Illegal murder” and labelled Israel “terrorists,” responsible for “Casting 1,415 into graves of the dead. Gaza’s fallen freedom fighters.”
Israel commenced OCL in 2008-09 in order to stop Hamas rocket fire from Gaza targeting Israeli civilians.
Intimidation Tactics
In April 2014, Saifan and SJP at UCLA members submitted a petition to Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC)’s judicial board against two former undergraduate student government council members who participated in trips to Israel that were sponsored by pro-Israel Jewish organizations.SJP at UCLA alleged that the council members committed “conflict of interest violations” by participating in the sponsored trips and should have abstained from voting on a February 2014 BDS resolution. SJP at UCLA also argued the council members’ votes on the divestment resolution should have been disqualified.
Although the ballot on the divestment resolution was secret, it was assumed that the two voted against the resolution because they both spoke against the resolution during discussions prior to the vote.
After the hearing, Saifan tweeted "Pretty much took the Israel lobby to court. Bye ADL and AJC."
The student judicial board later ruled that the trips taken by the council members did not constitute a conflict of interest.
BDS Activism
Saifan led a February 2014 SJP at UCLA resolution “to divest from 5 transnational corporations that directly enable and benefit from documented human rights violations against Palestinians,” as the president of SJP at UCLA.On February 11, 2014, Saifan promoted UCLA Divest on Facebook, encouraging followers to sign a petition endorsing the divestment campaign.
Saifan also posted SJP at UCLA’s divestment logo, adding: “Change your profile picture if you believe your tuition should not contribute to violence against Palestinians (or any community!).”
On March 12, 2014, following the failed SJP at UCLA-led divestment initiative, Saifan posted a photo of herself to Facebook with her mouth taped shut, holding a sign that read: “My Palestinian voice will NOT be silenced on MY campus.”
Saifan added the comment “I will not be silenced. I will not be complicit. I will not be forced to harm my own family.#secondclassbruins #USACrificedus.”
On May 27, 2014, Saifan posted to Facebook: “#LAdivest.”
On August 4, 2014, Saifan posted to Facebook: “Call on the University of California to divest from corporations that profit off the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”
In November 2014, SJP at UCLA again pushed a divestment resolution “calling on the Regents to divest from companies that enable and profit from violations of Palestinian rights.”
On November 3, 2014, Saifan posted a Divest poster to Facebook along with a link to SJP at UCLA’s divestment page.
On November 13, 2014, Saifan was featured in a UCLA Divest Photo campaign on Facebook.
On November 20, 2014, Saifan posted to Facebook a photo of BDS activists during a demonstration, adding “THIS is solidarity. #UCLADivest.”
Saifan signed a January 8, 2015 petition calling on the University of California Students Association (UCSA) to support divestment.
In February 2015, SJP at UCLA pushed BDS beyond the UCLA campus by promoting a divestment resolution to the UCSA. The resolution also called on the UC Regents to divest from American-based corporations that “violate Palestinian human rights.”
The UCSA Board of Directors passed the resolution by a 9-1-5 vote.
SJP at UCLA - Violent Disruption of Pro-Israel Campus Event
On May 17, 2018, SJP at UCLA activists disrupted [00:00:47] an event hosted by Students Supporting Israel (SSI) on the UCLA campus. The event, titled "Indigenous People Unite," provided a forum for Jewish, Kurdish, and Armenian indigenous communities “to share the stories of their people.” The disruptors were joined by activists with SJP at UCLA Alumni Association(SJP at UCLA Alumni),as well as activists from the group Southwest Asian and North Afrikan Los Angeles (SWANA-LA) and activists from the off-campus Antifa group Revolution Club L.A./ Refuse Fascism Los Angeles.
Approximately 41 minutes into the lecture, SJP at UCLA members and Antifa activists invaded [00:41:16] the forum. Protester Armen Adamian walked toward the speakers and tore the Armenian flag off the wall. Adamian then threw [00:41:24] the Armenian panelist’s notes off the speakers’ table and leaned over him.
Other protesters chanted [00:43:01]“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!” as well as [00:42:29] “We don’t want two states, we want ‘48!” and [00:45:08] “1,2,3,4 Open up the prison doors; 5,6,7,8 Israel is a terrorist state!!”
Protestor Natalie Kamajian ripped the Israeli flag from the wall. When asked to relinquish the flag, she refused [00:46:52].
Campus security eventually escorted [00:50:05] the protesters out of the classroom, into an adjacent hallway. There, the protesters pounded [00:521:2348] on the door and continued [00:08:32] chanting.
Later, when the door was reopened, the protesters continued their disturbance, screaming [00:33:15] obscenities, using [00:14:27] a megaphone and physically blocking [00:13:52] the door from being closed.
Following the disruption, students attending the SSI event reported feeling intimidated and fearing for their physical safety. SSI chapter president Hirmand Sarafian, the Armenian panelist, reported that he felt physically threatened “throughout the whole thing, from the beginning to the end.”
SJP at UCLA reportedly denied initiating or having “a significant hand in organizing the demonstration” and claimed that “none of our board members attended the event.”
However, SJP at UCLA’s 2018 primary signatory Robert Gardner was filmed taking a leadership role in the disruption, alongside SJP at UCLA signatory Gurutam Thockchom, and fellow SJP at UCLA activists Burkan Aranki, Sarena Khasawneh, John Abughattas, and Tamara Khoury.
On May 18, 2018, both SWANA-LA and the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) in Austin specifically praised SJP at UCLA and SJP at UCLA Alumni’s role in disrupting the SSI event. PSC is an alternative name for SJP.
On May 24, 2018, UCLA chancellors Jerry Kang and Monroe Gorden published anofficial denunciation of the incident in the Daily Bruin, UCLA’s campus newspaper.
The chancellors’ statement condemned the intimidation of panelists and audience members and declared that the university would “refer all evidence of wrongdoing” of non-UCLA students “to local prosecutors to determine whether they have broken the law.”
A June 14, 2018 article, published by the Jewish Journal, reported that half a dozen students said they would file formal complaints against the disruptors for “criminal disruption of a meeting, as well as disturbing the peace and conspiracy.”
An August 8, 2018 article in the Algemeiner reported that the Los Angeles city prosecutor was investigating the disruption, and had “requested additional investigative materials from the UCLA Police.”
SJP at UCLA - Support for Terrorists
On May 15, 2017, SJP at UCLA participated in a “Saltwater Challenge.”On October 14, 2015, the day after Palestinian terrorists killed three Israelis and wounded more than 20 others during the “Knife Intifada,” SJP at UCLA held a demonstration and “die-in,” as part of the International Day of Action for Palestine. The outreach co-director for SJP, Ani Der Grigorian commented to the Daily Bruin: “When there is no justice, there is no peace.”
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.
The submission, written by Shawndeez Davari Jadalizadeh, accused the Daily Bruin of taking part in a “callous political project” to “erase Palestinian life” by failing to mention the names of Palestinians killed during the Knife Intifada.
The submission then listed a number of “Palestinians killed by Israelis... since Oct. 1, the beginning of the third intifada,” including terrorists Fadi Alloun, Amjad al-Jundi, Hassan Manasra.
Fadi Aloon was shot by Israeli security forces after he stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli boy. Several hours before the attack, Aloon posted “Either martyrdom or victory” on his Facebook page.
Amjad Al-Jundi stabbed an Israeli soldier on October 7, 2015. He then took the soldier’s rifle and ran to a nearby apartment building where he tried to shoot and stab a local woman in her home. Police responded and killed Al-Jundi during a shootout that transpired.
Hassan Manasra was shot on October 12, 2015, while he and his 13-year-old cousin Ahmed were engaged in a stabbing spree in Jerusalem, critically wounding a 13-year-old Israeli boy and moderately wounding a 25-year-old man.
Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.
SJP at UCLA - Anti-Semitism
In February 2015, four SJP at UCLA activists and council senators with UCLA’s Undergraduate Students Association (USA) were involved in a widely publicized anti-Semitic incident.SJP at UCLA - Intimidation
In 2016, SJP at UCLA reportedly harassed Milan Chaterjee, the former president of UCLA’s Graduate Student Association (GSA), to such an extent that he stepped down from his student government position and left UCLA.SJP at UCLA alleged that the council members committed “conflict of interest violations” by participating in the sponsored trips and should have abstained from voting on a February 2014 BDS resolution. SJP at UCLA also argued the council members’ votes on the divestment resolution should have been disqualified.
Although the ballot on the divestment resolution was secret, it was assumed that the two voted against the resolution because they both spoke against the resolution during discussions prior to the vote.
The student judicial board later ruled that the trips taken by the council members did not constitute a conflict of interest.
SJP at UCLA - BDS Activism
In December 2013, SJP at UCLA launched its first divestment campaign, drafting a resolution calling on the UC Regents to pull funding from five companies doing business with Israel, including Caterpillar, Cemex, Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH), General Electric (GE), and Hewlett-Packard (HP). The February 2014 debate lasted over ten hours and went until 6:00 a.m. The resolution was ultimately voted down.
In November 2014, SJP at UCLA again pushed a divestment resolution “calling on the Regents to divest from companies that enable and profit from violations of Palestinian rights.”
The resolution claimed that the same five companies “provided weapons used” by Israel “in attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip,” and that investment in these companies “shows implicit support” for “the killings of civilians.”
On November 18, 2014, the undergraduate student government adopted the divestment resolution with a vote of 8-2-2.
In February 2015, SJP at UCLA pushed BDS beyond the UCLA campus by promoting a divestment resolution to the UC Student Association (UCSA). The resolution also called on the UC Regents to divest from American-based corporations that “violate Palestinian human rights.”
The UCSA Board of Directors passed the resolution by a 9-1-5 vote.
On March 15, 2018, various SJP chapters in the UC system co-opted a student protest against tuition hikes outside of the UC Regents meeting at the UCLA campus, calling on the Regents to divest from certain companies that do business with Israel.
On April 25, 2018, SSI chapter president, Hirmand Sarafian, tweeted a short video documenting that during a discussion prior to the tuition-hike protest, BDS activists [00:00:18] “called us ‘Hillel fascists’ and asked us to leave” after Sarafian argued that [00:00:13] “BDS shouldn’t be included here because it excludes many Jewish voices.”
Sarafian added [00:00:28] that BDS activists at UCLA tried to “justify the use of a Swastika,” displayed by Gaza protesters, when “talking about the recent Gazan protests,” and claimed [00:00:39] “that middle-eastern Jews of different minorities aren’t really Jews.”
SJP at UCLA also used their 2014 Palestine Awareness Week (PAW) to promote divestment, erecting a “mock apartheid wall” and hosting a screening and discussion of the film “Roadmap to Apartheid,” a film that compared Israel to apartheid in South Africa.
SJP at UCLA - Glorifying A Terrorist
On February 14, 2017, SJP at UCLA glorified Rasmea Odeh on their Facebook page, in honor of Palestine Awareness Week (PAW), calling her an “icon of the Palestine liberation movement,” and “an example for the millions of Palestinians who have not given up organizing for their rights.”The post concluded: “#Justice4Rasmea #FreePalestine #PAW2017.”
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.
Odeh confessed, in a highly detailed account, the day following her arrest. In a 2004 documentary, one of Odeh’s co-conspirators directly implicated her as the mastermind.
In 1970, an Israeli court tried and convicted Odeh for her involvement in both bombings and sentenced her to life imprisonment. However, Odeh was released 10 years later, in a prisoner swap and emigrated to the United States. In 2017, Odeh was deported to Jordan and stripped of U.S. citizenship, after admitting to immigration fraud.
SJP at UCLA - Hosting Israel-Haters
On May 10, 2018, SJP at UCLA hosted a talk featuring anti-Israel professor Rabab Abdulhadi. Abdulhadi has cultivated ties with terror-supporting universities, glorified terrorists, trivialized the murder of Israeli teenagers and endorsed hate speech. She is also a national leader within the BDS movement.On November 15, 2017, SJP at UCLA hosted anti-Israel journalist David Sheen. The event description said Sheen would “speak about racism and ethnic cleansing within the Israeli community.” Sheen is an anti-Israel propagandist who often demonizes Israel on American college campuses.
On November 30, 2016, SJP at UCLA screened the anti-Israel film “The Occupation of the American Mind.” The event also featured the film’s anti-Israel Executive Producer, Professor Sut Jhally and anti-Israel activist and musician Roger Waters.
In his films, Jhally claims that the “Israel lobby” has waged “the most successful PR campaign ever,” resulting in a strong pro-Israel bias in American public media.
Blumenthal’s book “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” has been dubbed “The Israel Hater’s Handbook” by Eric Alterman of the progressive magazine The Nation.
Muhtaseb regularly uses her Facebook and Twitter to demonize Israel, whitewash Palestinian terrorism and collaborate with fellow anti-Israel activists. Atshan has praised inciters of violence including Sheikh Omar Suleiman who, in 2014, called on Twitter for a “Third Intifada” to destroy Israel.
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.
PYM
In 2012, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM USA) released a statement saying: “Our liberation...will be gained with the path that was written with the blood of our martyrs. We reaffirm that the only path that we are concerned with is the path that explicitly heads towards the liberation of our land and the return of our people to Palestine.”
PYM organized rallies demonizing Israel where it displays propaganda posters supporting the terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and compared Israel to Nazi Germany.
On October 25, 2015, PYM called to support “intifada” during a period when Palestinian radicals across Israel stabbed and hacked to death scores of Israeli civilians. PYM alleged that “Al-Aqsa Mosque has been the target of particularly brutal assaults” and that “... arbitrary killings are committed daily by the Zionist military and settlers.”
On November 10, 2015, the PYM Facebook page displayed a photo of masked Palestinian radicals throwing rocks and firing rocks from slingshots. That photo was used to promote at least 25 anti-Israel rallies across the globe on or around November 29, 2015 under the banner of “Transnational mobilization for Palestinian resistance.”
On November 30, 2015, PYM displayed a photo on Facebook from one of the rallies showing a sign in support of PFLP member Khalida Jarrar, who confessed to inciting violence and calling for terrorists to abduct Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers.
Another sign showed support for PFLP Secretary-General Ahmad Sadat, who was convicted for the 2001 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi.
