Support for Terrorists
Hassan retweeted an October 4, 2015 tweet calling for solidarity for “our beloved three brothers who were martyred in #Palestine this week!”In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians.
The first was Fadi Aloon, who was shot by Israeli security forces after he stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli boy. Several hours before the attack, Aloon posted “Either martyrdom or victory” on his Facebook page.
The second photo was of terroristMuhannad Halabi, who murdered two Israelis and injured two others, including a 2-year-old, during a stabbing spree. One day earlier, Halabi posted on his Facebook page that “[t]he third Intifada is here” and wrote “[w]ake up from your slumber and save al-Aqsa. Let the revolution erupt.”
The third photo featured 18 year-old Hudhaifa Suleiman, who was shot while participating in a Hamas-organized riot where “hundreds of Palestinians… threw firebombs, rolled burning tires and threw rocks at [Israeli] soldiers.”
Propagating Incitement
Hassan retweeted a September 12, 2015 tweet that claimed: “Zionist occupation forces burned part of AlQible mosque inside Masjed AlAqsa NOW... #AlAqsaUnderAttack.”The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a traditional pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state. Such propaganda served as the excuse for an upsurge in Palestinian violence that flared in the fall of 2015 and incited Palestinians to attempt mass casualty attacks on Israeli civilians in July 2016..
Hassan also retweeted a September 13, 2015 tweet that alleged Israeli forces were “storming Al Aqsa & attacking worshippers.”
On September 13, 2015, masked Palestinian rioters barricaded themselves inside the Al Aqsa Mosque. They set off fireworks, starting a small fire, and threw stones and debris stored inside the mosque at Israeli police. The police later found pipe bombs the rioters had prepared to launch at Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount plaza.
Hassan retweeted a September 29, 2015 tweet recycling the claim that Israeli soldiers shot 12 year-old Muhammad al-Durah in his father's lap in 2000.
The Al-Durah hoax is an iconic piece of anti-Israel propaganda, fabricated on September 30, 2000 at the start of the Second Intifada by a France 2 reporter.
Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany
On April 14, 2014, Hassan tweeted an image likening an Israel soldier to a Nazi, and a Palestinian child to a Jewish child in a Nazi concentration camp, with the comment: “you would think they would understand.”Hassan retweeted a series of September 9, 2014 tweets posted by anti-Israel radical Sabry Wazwaz that likened Palestinians to Jews in Nazi ghettos and concentration camps.
Hassan also retweeted another Wazwaz tweet featuring an unsourced photo of dead children next to a picture of Jewish children who were murdered in a Russian pogrom.
On the same day, Hassan retweeted a tweet from Wazwaz that compared buildings destroyed during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE) to the destruction wrought by Nazis on Rotterdam, during WWII.
During Israel’s Operation Protective Edge (OPE), Hamas forced journalists to conceal its war crimes when reporting from Gaza. However, multiple news sources exposed Hamas's exploitation of civilian infrastructure to attack Israel, as well as Hamas's use of human shields to frustrate Israel’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza.
Israel commenced OPE in July 2014 to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.
Hassan also retweeted a September 9, 2014 tweet from Wazwaz that likened Israel to Nazi Germany and Palestinians to Jews during the Holocaust.
Support for BDS
On February 15, 2016, SJP UMN launched UMN Divest, a campaign suggesting [00:01:53] Israel was like Apartheid South Africa and demanding [00:01:10] that the Minnesota Student Association (MSA) and UMNdivest from all companies “complicit in the Israeli occupation of Palestine.”.
On February 16th, SJP UMN issued a press release claiming UMN’s divestment from four companies explicitly targeted by the campaign “would neutralize the University of Minnesota in this conflict [sic] …” and that “The call to divest is a response to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.”
UMN’s Chief Investment Officer reportedly told The Minnesota Republic, a student-run newspaper at UMN, that the university had “no direct exposure” to the four companies highlighted by the UMN Divest campaign.
In March 2016, Hassan featured [00:01:30] in an SJP UMN video, urging students to support the divestment campaign.
On March 2, 2016, Hassan featured in a SJP UMN Instagram group photo promoting UMN Divest.
On March 8, 2016, the MSA voted [00:26:24] to strike the divestment resolution from the MSA agenda.
In April 2016, the MSA passed a heavily amended resolution that removed all references to Israel and any specific corporations. The amended resolution endorsed divestment generally from “corporations involved in human rights violations,” and from “companies profiting from human rights abuses and violations of international law.”
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.
