Jana Mohamed was an activist with a Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter that expressed support for terrorism in October and November 2023. Mohamed has also expressed hatred of Israel.
Jana Mohamed was active [00:11:58] with the SJP chapter at The New School (tns.sjp) since October 2023.
Mohamed’s SJP chapter showed support for Hamas following a series of Hamas terror atrocities and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings, and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023.
The Hamas terror attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped, and thousands wounded. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”
Jana Mohamed is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
While Mohamed served as a member of The New School SJP, the group promoted BDS campaigns in November 2023, and March, April, and May 2024.
As of February 2025, Jana Mohamed’s LinkedIn profile said she was studying for a bachelor’s degree in international studies and French at The New School, slated to graduate in June 2026.
Mohamed has organized conferences with Jewish Voices for Peace and American Muslims for Palestine.
As of February 2025, Jana Mohamed's LinkedIn said she was located in New York, New York and went by "@jujumohh" and used the handle: "@Juju" on Instagram.
On October 11, 2023, while Jana Mohamed was a member of The New School SJP, the chapter released a “Statement of Solidarity” about the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attacks.
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 7] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
The statement said: “The New School Students for Justice in Palestine firmly supports the Palestinian people in their steadfast resistance against apartheid, colonization, and the enduring 75-year-long Israeli occupation marked by violence.”
Anti-Israel activists use the term “resistance” to refer to violence and terror perpetrated against Israeli civilians and their allies. It is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence. Anti-Israel activists chant slogans such as: “Resistance by any means necessary!” and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied!” in response to terror attacks.
The modern State of Israel was founded 75 years earlier, in 1948.
The statement continued: "We demand that The New School Administration acknowledge Israel's role as the aggressor in regards to this week's violence."
On February 12, 2024, Mohamed posted on Instagram two photos from a rally, called “Flood Manhattan for Rafah,” that was organized by Within Our Lifetime. Signs displayed at the rally included slogans such as "resistance is justified when people are occupied" [00:00:03].
On May 24, 2024, Jana Mohamed posted on Instagram: "انتفاضة الطلابية الشعبية نحن غزة [Popular Student Uprising / We are Gaza] / ..thenewschool your hands are red."
Included in the post was a slide [slide 10] of activists with faces hidden by keffiyehs, holding a Palestinian flag, and with their hands, making inverted triangles.
The keffiyeh is a Palestinian headdress traditionally worn by men, which has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism.
The inverted red triangle is a symbol showing support for Hamas and Palestinian terrorism. It first appeared in propaganda videos produced by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, during its terror attacks of October 7, 2023. The symbol was used by Hamas to signify one of their Israeli targets.
On April 26, 2024, Mohamed posted on Instagram: "...المقاومة حي" [The resistance is alive and well].
Included in the post was a photograph of a masked individual holding up a poster of Ahmad Sa’adat.
Ahmad Sa’adat is the Secretary General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He is currently serving in an Israeli prison for terror activities, including his role in the 2001 assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze’evi. Under Sa’adat’s leadership, the PFLP perpetrated many suicide bombings against Israeli civilians during the second intifada.
On February 12, 2024, Jana Mohamed posted on Instagram a photo of herself stomping on a drawing of an Israeli flag with the caption: “hurt my knee stomping on these at full energy and i’d do it again.”
On November 9, 2023, The New School SJP wrote authored an open letter addressed to university administrators, including then-interim president Donna Shalala, with a list of demands.
The letter stated: “We, the undersigned, are students of the New School who refuse to accept this University’s complicity in the genocide of the people of Gaza.”
The letter continued: "We reject the University Administration's use of the misnomer 'Israel-Hamas War' to describe the violence enacted against Palestinians during October and November of 2023..."
The letter further stated: "The State of Israel is currently engaged in a genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza and the West Bank..." and continued: "Categorizing Palestinian resistance to genocide under the umbrella term 'Hamas' dismisses entirely the context of historical and systematic extermination of the Palestinian people. The New School must affirm: this is no war, this is genocide."
The letter also called to boycott The New School's academic partnerships with Israel, referred to the "Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF)," and demanded financial disclosure of any ties between the University and "...companies known to be complicit in and benefitting from Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza..."
“Israeli Occupation Forces,” or “IOF,” is a derogatory name for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used by anti-Israel activists to demonize Israel’s army.
The letter concluded with a deadline for the University's Administration to respond and the statement: "...If we receive no response...we will respond accordingly and by any means necessary."
Anti-Israel activists use the phrase “by any means necessary,” as one of multiple euphemisms for terrorist violence, including “resistance.”
SJP is the leading 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, who has spread anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group.
SJP organizes anti-Israel campus campaigns, including running annual Israel Apartheid Weeks and pushing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. SJP activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated and harassed Jewish students, and SJP chapters have often endorsed and campaigned for terrorists.
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.
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 infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. 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 and pro-terror activism on campus.
