On November 21, 2014, Maaz participated in a march titled: “Hands off Al Aqsa and Palestine,” which was organized by SJP at SJSU.
On November 18, 2014, two terrorists murdered six people with a gun, axes and a butcher knife in a Jerusalem synagogue during morning prayers. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group claimed “credit” for the attack, which left five Jewish men dead along with a Druze police officer. The terrorists were motivated by the libel that Israel threatened to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Also on November 21, 2014, Maaz was featured in an SJP at SJSU photo from the march posted to Twitter. The photo was captioned: “#VivaPalestina #Ferguson to #Palestine #racism is a #crime #HumanRights.”
According to a November 23, 2014 article, published by the Liberation News, a leader and co-founder of SJP at SJSU as well as a co-host of the event, Abid El-miaari, pointed Liberation News to a “list of Israeli crimes motivating the group’s protest,” starting with “The closure/attacks on Al Aqsa Mosque.”
At the march, activists reportedly chanted: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free,” as well as “Israel, Israel what do you say, how many kids did you kill today” and “Israel, Israel you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” is a chant used [00:02:47] to call for the elimination of the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state. In April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the chant as antisemitic.
On November 21, 2014, Maaz indicated on Facebook she was going to the SJSU SJP march on San Jose City Hall. The Facebook post of the same day that announced the event was headlined: “Hands off Al Aqsa and Palestine.”
On July 27, 2014, Maaz commented on Facebook that she loved the hip hop artist Immortal Technique “even more” in response to a pro-BDS post that featured the song “Boycott Israel” produced by him.
The song contained anti-Israel lyrics in a variety of languages, such as [00:02:09]: “Don’t buy beef from Israel cause you paying to kill them kids.”
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 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.
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.
