Embracing Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theorist Alison Weir
On April 17, 2013, Omari was listed as having attended a SJP UTK-hosted speaking event that featured anti-Israel agitator Alison Weir. Weir is the founder and executive director of the anti-semitic hate site If Americans Knew (IAK) and president of the Israel-demonizing Council for the National Interest (CNI).IAK bears the rare distinction of being condemned for furthering anti-Semitism by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Israel-hating U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation. Even, the anti-Israel organization Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has condemned Weir for having “repeatedly chosen” to associate “with people who advocate for racism,” such as white supremacist Clay Douglas.
On August 8, 2009, Weir wrote an article supporting a blood libel, originally published by a Swedish newspaper — lying that Israeli soldiers kidnapped Palestinians to harvest their organs.
In a 2012 primer, titled “The Top Ten Anti-Israel Groups in America,” The Anti Defamation League (ADL) exposed (p.5-6) Weir’s propagation of numerous anti-Semitic and anti-Israel conspiracy theories. ADL notedthat Weir wrote several articles promoting fraudulent claims of organ harvesting by Jews.
Embracing Ties with Terror-Supporting Institutions
On November 13, 2014, Omari is listed as having attended a talk by two Palestinian students hosted by SJP UTK as part of Birzeit University’s so-called “Right to Education” tour. The program served to whitewash the incitement to anti-Semitic violence that passes for education under Birzeit’s auspices.In 2014, the Right to Education tour deceptively claimed on Tumblr that Israeli efforts to combat incitement to terrorist violence on Palestinian university campuses violated Palestinian rights, stating:“Israeli military systematically obstructs education in the West Bank and Gaza, which violates the human rights of individuals and also impedes the development of Palestinian society.”
Birzeit University’s student body has been ridden with terrorists since at least 2003. The student government race that year featured models of exploding Israeli buses — as parties competed on the basis of which Palestinian faction had killed the most Israelis.
In 2015 and 2016, Birzeit University students elected Hamas’ student wing to power. As a result, Bilal Barghouti — who is serving 16 life terms in prison for his role in a series of suicide attacks against Israel —was made the "Honorary Chairman of the Bir Zeit University Student Council." Bilal Barghouti was the senior terrorist behind the Sbarro cafe bombing — which specifically targeted religious Jewish patrons and murdered 16 people — including 8 children and a pregnant woman — and wounded 130.
Birzeit university's Fatah-affiliated students also embrace terror. The Shabiba student group, in December 2015, posted Facebook pictures of themselves beside a Christmas tree adorned with the portraits of terrorist murderers — including one who had recently stabbed four Israeli civilians. The terrorists whose images decorated the Christmas tree were collectively responsible for thousands of murderous attacks against Israelis. Behind the Birzeit students was a sign that proclaimed: “The way to freedom is a bullet and a martyr... a crescent and a cross; Merry Christmas, [Fatah's] Shabiba student movement, Birzeit University.”
In September of 2014, pro-Palestinian Ha’aretz reporter Amira Hass was thrown off of Birzeit’s campus — because Hass is Jewish.
In January of 2016, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) swept Birzeit’s campus, seizing Hamas propaganda. The University characterized the sweep as a “belligerent ...attack on the university and our right to education and all the principles involved in the freedom of education."
Another Palestinian university participating in the Right to Education campaign is Al Quds university. Brandeis University terminated its relationship with Al Quds in 2013, after Islamic Jihad held a Nazi-themed demonstration at Al Quds. After Brandeis’ president Lawrence contacted Al-Quds President Sari Nusseibeh and requested that he publish an unequivocal condemnation of the demonstrations. in both Arabic and English, Al Quds’ administration responded by skirting the issue and complaining of “vilification campaigns by Jewish extremists with the purpose of discrediting [the university’s] reputation.”
Yet another terror-supporting Palestinian university participating in the Right to Education initiative is Al Najah University (Al Najah). Al-Najah — the largest Palestinian university in the West Bank — remains notorious for its triumphal exhibit lauding the Sbarro cafe suicide bombing.Al-Najah’s exhibit featured a mock-up of Sbarro’s, including gnawed pizza crusts and bloody plastic body parts suspended from the ceiling, as if they were blasting through the air.
Propagating Lies to Delegitimize Israeli Self Defense
On July 10 2014, Omari is listed as having joined anti-Israel demonstrators who supported Hamas and demonized Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE). Israel launched OPE to destroy Hamas attack tunnels — and stop genocidal Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza that targeted Israeli civilians.At the protest, fellow SJP member, Jordan Welsh held a sign that read “End all aid to the racist state of Israel.” Another protester held a sign that claimed — fraudulently — “This is Genocide.”
SJP UTK
The leadership and general membership of SJP UTK is fraught with virulent anti-Semites, Hitler and Nazi sympathizers, promoters of terrorist incitement, homophobes and bigots. These individuals propagate Jew-hatred, often — but not always— under the guise of attacking "Israelis" and “Zionists.”

On August 15, 2015, SJP UTK member Jenine Omari liked a tweet by UTK MSA member and virulent anti-Semite, Eyad Hijer, who tweeted — "F**k Jews."
Stori Nuri — a co-president of UTK MSA and president of SJP UTK on January 22, 2015, tweeted — "‘Jew test: throw a pen and if they pick it up they're a Jew’.”
SJP UTK Member - Propagating Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theories
On July 27, 2012, SJP UTK member Mohamed Ali — who also ran for the position of UTK MSA Public Relations Head — tweeted: — "Zion or Zionism, is the belief that Jews are the rightful inhabitants or Israel/Palestine. Lol Illuminati."
On July 5, 2014, Ali tweeted — "When it comes down to it, Israel is the world's super power, not the USA. They control everything behind the curtains...they control so much from the film industry to franchises to pentagon communications to Wall Street to White House lobbies."
On the same day, Ali tweeted — "I'm not surprised. America d**krides Israel so hard. They're scared. Israel controls them."
On June 17, 2013, Ali tweeted — "I feel like all the current problems in the world are linked to the U.S, Israel, & all their d**kriding countries- most of Europe."
SJP UTK Member - Spreading Hatred of Israel and Zionists
On April 7, 2015, SJP UTK member Mohamed Ali — who also ran for the position of UTK MSA Public Relations Head — tweeted — "I feel so incredibly irritable right now. No idea why...Just feel like kicking a Zionist tbh."
SJP UTK Founder - Calling for a Third Intifada
On December 8, 2013, Amira Sakalla the founder of SJP UTK tweeted — "“@PalAnonymous: Today marks the 26th anniversary of the First #Intifada #Palestine " About time for another one..” More than 10,000 Israelis were maimed or murdered by the Palestinian terrorist violence of the First and Second Intifadas — mostly in the suicide suicide bombings that characterized the Second Intifada.
SJP UTK Member- Comparing Israel to Nazis
On July 21, 2014, Abdalla Husain — the Tayseer Seminary’s liaison to UTK MSA, and member of SJP UTK, — who serves to link MSA with other community efforts in Knoxville — compared Israel to Nazis, tweeting — "Like father like son. Germany in the 30s and 40s is Israel now."
SJP UTK - Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany
On January 16, 2015, SJP UTK retweeted an anti-Semitic tweet that read "Zionism is Terrorism" featuring a photo of a Jewish child held at gunpoint by a Nazi soldier during the Holocaust, next to a photo of a Palestinian child being arrested by the IDF. The caption on the photo read: “They Act Like NaZis, Because They WERE The NaZis.”
"Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" is considered a contemporary manifestation of anti-Semitism as defined by the U.S. State Department.
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.
