Hassoun is a first-year student at SDSU.

SJP SDSU

In 2015, SDSU was named as one of the ten United States universities with the most anti-Semitic activity, much of this stemming from SJP SDSU’s campus activity.

SJP SDSU’s campus programs have included workshops promoting BDS hosted by anti-Semite Miko Peled and staging “die-ins.”

A week after a 2014 "die-in," SJP SDSU dropped approximately 500 leaflets from the top of the student hall ordering students to evacuate immediately and warning that “Those who fail to comply with the instructions will endanger their lives and the lives of their families.” Several police officers and members of the campus administration were present at the time of their disruption, which was considered by university officials as a violation of the student code of conduct.

In September 2013, SJP SDSU joined in support of a lecturer who used a map depicting Arabic-speaking countries that left Israel unnamed and labeled the area as Palestine. Their involvement followed an outcry from pro-Israel groups that the map was misleading and against Israel. As a show of endorsement for continuing revisionist anti-Israel positions in the classroom, SJP members drafted a resolution intended to reaffirm support for academic freedom at SDSU. The resolution was voted on by the Associated Students University Council and rejected.

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.
