Anti-Israel Activism (SJP)

From May 2018 until March 2020, Abdelaal participated in at least nine John Jay SJP events.

On May 7, 2018, Abdelaal was featured [slide 1] in a photo posted to John Jay SJP’s Instagram, standing next to a flyer promoting the group’s event titled: “JERUSALEM THE RED LINE.” The event flyer read: “After President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Capital of israel waves of people from all different backgrounds protested to oppose this unpopular decision…”

In December 2017, the U.S. government announced its decision to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

On September 13, 2018, Abdelaal appeared [slide 5] in a group photo posted to John Jay SJP’s Instagram from the college’s annual club fair event, promoting SJP on campus.

On September 5, 2019, Abdelaal appeared [slides 3-6] in a series of photos posted to John Jay SJP’s Instagram from the college’s annual club fair event, promoting SJP on campus.

On September 26, 2019, Abdelaal appeared [slide 3] in a group photo posted to John Jay SJP’s Instagram from an SJP general meeting. The meeting’s Instagram post included a graphic known as “Handala,” which is a symbol in support of a policy known as the “right of return.”

The “right of return” is a Palestinian demand discredited as a means to eliminate Israel. International law mandates no absolute right of return and UN Resolution 194, which defined principles for “refugees wishing to return to their homes,” was unanimously rejected by Arab nations following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

On October 30, 2019, Abdelaal was featured [slides 1, 5] in a series of photos posted toJohn Jay SJP’s Instagram from its panel event titled: “The Struggles of Student Activism in Post Truth Times.” ASU was one of the official co-hosts and the event featured John Jay SJP founder Leena Widdi.

On February 4, 2020, Abdelaal appeared [slide 3] in a group photo posted to John Jay SJP’s Instagram taken at the college’s annual club fair event, promoting SJP on campus.

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.
