Supporting Terrorists
On May 3, 2017, Abuhamdieh participated in UGA SJP’s “Saltwater challenge,” in “solidarity with the 1,500 Palestinian political prisoners currently engaged in a mass hunger strike” to protest [00:00:27] “the inhumane conditions in the Israeli Zionist dungeons.”The strike was initiated by Marwan Barghouti, who was 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 the Palestinian Authority (PA) terrorist Tanzim force and founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Barghouti also financed the guitar-case bomb used in the Sbarro Cafe massacre, where 15 civilians were killed and 130 injured.
More than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners participated in the hunger strike — most of whom were also convicted for acts of terrorism.
According to CNN, the “Saltwater Challenge” appears to have been started by Aarab Marwan Barghouti, the son of Marwan Barghouti.
On April 18, 2016, Abuhamdieh promoted Palestinian “Prisoner’s Day” on Facebook, adding a quote that read: "The movement to free Palestinian political prisoners – and to free Palestine – is a movement to confront settler colonialism, Zionism and imperialism."
Mohammad Allan was a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a terror group “whose objective is the destruction of the State of Israel. PIJ is backed by Iran and has killed dozens of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks.
Allan was first jailed by Israel in 2006 for trying to recruit a suicide bomber to carry out an attack in Israel. He was detained in 2015 for similar reasons.
Israel detained hunger-striking Muhammad al-Qiq for Hamas terror-related activities.
Khader Adnan is a senior member of PIJ. A 2007 YouTube video showed Adnan praising and encouraging suicide bombings: "Who among you will carry the next explosive belt? Who among you will fire the next bullets? Who among you will have his body parts blown all over?”
Spreading Hatred of Israel
On October 30, 2017, Abuhamdieh posted on Facebook: “100 years since the Balfour Declaration that established an imperialist state in Palestine.”On May 15, 2014, Abuhamdieh posted on Facebook that Israel “ethnically cleansed” 800,000 Palestinians prior to its founding.
Abuhamdieh has also launched a JustGiving campaign to fundraise for a marathon run, titled “Dubai 10K for Medical Aid for Palestinians,” that was scheduled for January 25, 2013.
Abuhamdieh’s campaign page featured a poster characterizing Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense (OPD) as a “massacre.” In the campaign “Story,” Abuhamdieh claimed that Israel “indiscriminately bombed Gaza” and labelled Israel as “cruel and so inhumane.”
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 March 7, 2012, Abuhamdieh attended a rally protesting the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in Washington, DC.
During the protest, demonstrators chanted [00:00:01] “Israel is a racist state”

UGA SJP
UGA SJP was formerly called Athens Justice for Palestine (AJP). UGA SJP was established in 2005 and portrays itself as an organization promoting peace and human rights. Their website's mission statement states its goal is to educate people about the history of the Middle East, and to “facilitate constructive debate” with Israelis, Palestinians and Americans in order to “resolve the ongoing conflict.”UGA SJP - Spreading Lies

On this occasion he referred to Israel as “s**tty,” “ethnic cleansing”, and Zionism as “racism” and “colonialism.”
On March 15, 2012, as part of their annual Israeli Apartheid Week, UGA SJP hosted the anti-Zionist Professor, Noel Ignatiev, who delivered a lecture titled “Zionism - an Ideology of Race.”
Ignatiev is a purveyor of extreme anti-Israel views and his distorted entry on Zionism was removed from a prominent encyclopedia following an independent review.
On January 25, 2009, UGA SJP organized an anti-Israel protest outside the CNN news building in Atlanta, GA. The protest featured signs accusing Israel of Nazism — using an Israeli flag with a Swastika instead of the star of David. Other signs read “the Real Nazis,” “Israeli Terrorists” and “Genocide in Palestine.”

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.
MSA
The MSA was established by members of the Muslim Brotherhood in January 1963 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with the goal of "spreading Islam as students in North America." A 2004 FBI investigation uncovered an internal Muslim Brotherhood document in which a brotherhood leader identified the MSA as "one of our organizations."
The MSA reportedly has “nearly 600 chapters” located in the United States and Canada, and is “the most visible and influential Islamic student organization in North America,” boasting conferences, special events, publications, websites and other activities.
The organization includes a number of previous chapter presidents with explicit links to terrorist groups. Included are al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki (Colorado State University), Somali al-Shabaab militant leader Omar Shafik Hammami (University of South Alabama) and Pakistani Taliban recruiter Ramy Zamzam of the MSA's Washington, D.C. council.
