SJP UTK and UTK MSA

The leadership and general membership of SJP UTK and UTK MSA  is fraught with virulent anti-Semites, Hitler and Nazi sympathizers, promoters of terrorist incitement, homophobes and bigots. These individuals propagate Jew-hatred, often — but not always — under the guise of attacking “Israelis” and “Zionists.”

On December 8, 2013, Amira Sakalla the founder of SJP UTK tweeted — ““@PalAnonymous: Today marks the 26th anniversary of the First #Intifada #Palestine ” About time for another one..”  More than 10,000 Israelis were maimed or murdered by the Palestinian terrorist violence of the First and Second Intifadas —  mostly in the suicide bombings that characterized the Second Intifada.

SJP UTK Leader - Glorifying Anti-Semitic Terrorist Incitement

On October 16, 2015, Fatima Itmaizah, the vice president of SJP UTK, updated her Facebook profile picture to a graphic promoting violence against Jews. It suggested that Jewish presence on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is akin to a peel that needs to be cut way with a knife. The image depicted the Dome of the Rock, appearing as a fruit covered in blue skin, emblazoned with a star of David, a Jewish symbol. The picture showed the blue skin being cut and peeled away with a knife —  blood dripping down the hand of the peeler as the blade stripped away the peel.

During October 2015 — as a wave of terrorist violence, known as the “Knife Intifada,” swept across Israel —  Palestinian radicals stabbed and hacked to death scores of Israeli civilians. The violence was sparked and fueled by religious incitement and the libel that Israel intended to desecrate the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. That fraud, spread by Palestinian leaders, led directly to deadly anti-Semitic violence against Israelis. The “threat” of “attacks on Al Aqsa” has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews well before the existence of Israel.

SJP UTK Members - Drawing Inspiration From Advocates of Genocide

On April, 21, 2016, SJP UTK member Ameen Abdel-Khalek retweeted a tweet by the anti-Semitic Islamist leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Al-Qaradawi is the president of the European Council for Fatwa and Research. The Wall Street Journal reported that the council has used the anti-Semitic forgery known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in its theological deliberations.

In a January 9, 2009 sermon shown on Al-Jazeera, Qaradawi prayed: “O Allah, take this oppressive, tyrannical band of people. O Allah, take this oppressive, Jewish Zionist band of people. O Allah, do not spare a single one of them. O Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one.”

In a statement that aired on Al-Jazeera TV on 28 January 2009 Al-Qaradawi said:“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews people who would punish them for their corruption ... The last punishment was carried out by Hitler...This was divine punishment for them.... Allah Willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers.”

On March 22, 2016, Abdel-Khalek retweeted a tweet from the Hamas info Twitter account —  the official Twitter account of the terrorist organization that read — “When will Hamas give up its armed struggle? Watch this debate b/w Sheikh Yassin and a foreign reporter…”

Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was the co-founder of Hamas. Yassin has been described as the “mastermind of Palestinian terror” and a “mass murderer” behind many suicide bombings against Israeli civilians on buses and in cafes during the Second Intifada.

On January 10, 2003, in an interview with the Muslim website Alskifa, Yassin said “Suicide attacks and jihad reinforce national unity in the ranks....Our voice is one of struggle, of jihad and of suicide...”

On September 10, 2015, Abdalla Husain — the Tayseer Seminary’s liaison to UTK MSA, and member of SJP UTK, tweeted — “I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS YASSER ARAFAT!!!!!!!!!!! #PALESTINE #AAAYYWAAAAAAA I am very happy right now ”

Yasser Arafat — the former leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), is known by some as the “father of modern terrorism.” Under Arafat, the goal of the PLO — explicitly called for in Articles 9 and 10 of its original Charter — was the violent destruction of Israel. Article 20 of the Charter denied the Nationhood of the Jews.

In 1996, in a closed door meeting with Arab diplomats in Stockholm, Arafat said — “We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. Jews will not want to live among Arabs. I have no use for Jews. They are and remain Jews.”

On February 11, 1980, Arafat said in Venezuela — “Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.”

On November 2, 1970, Arafat said — “The goal of our struggle is the end of Israel, and there can be no compromise or mediation. We don’t want peace; we want victory. Peace for us means Israel’s destruction and nothing else.”

UTK MSA Tayseer Seminary Liaison - Likening Israel to Nazi Germany

On July 21, 2014, Tayseer Seminary’s liaison to UTK MSA, Abdalla Husain —  who serves to link MSA with other community efforts in Knoxville —  compared Israel to Nazis, tweeting — “Like father like son. Germany in the 30s and 40s is Israel now.”

SJP UTK - Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany

On January 16, 2015, SJP UTK retweeted an anti-Semitic tweet that read “Zionism is Terrorism” with an iconic photo of a Jewish child held at gunpoint by a Nazi soldier during the Holocaust next to a photo of a Palestinian child being arrested by the IDF. The caption on the photo read — “They Act Like NaZis, Because They WERE The NaZis.”

“Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” is considered a contemporary manifestation of anti-Semitism as defined by the U.S. State Department.

SJP UTK - Lying to Demonize Israel

On March 2, 2016, as part of Israeli Apartheid Week, SJP UTK featured a mock apartheid wall.

The display misrepresented Israel’s security fence — built as a non-violent deterrent to Palestinian terrorist attacks carried out by Palestinian suicide bombers. The display also lied that Israel’s barrier was “25-feet high, and 403 miles long.” In fact, 97% of Israel’s fence is a low chain link barrier. The atypical concrete portions of the fence were built only in response to Palestinian sniper attacks. The mock wall text also lied that “1661 KM of roads were only accessible by Israeli settlers.”

The display falsely accused Israel of practicing apartheid. The mock wall also featured a deliberately misleading map of Palestine, with the terror-whitewashing headline “To Exist is to Resist.” SJP UTK’s map is similar to another widely debunked map — dubbed “The Map That Lies” — that fraudulently presented lands once controlled by Britain, Egypt, and Jordan as autonomous “Palestinian land,” purportedly stolen by Israel.

SJP used the deceptive mock wall display as a tool to promote a boycott of Sabra Hummus, an Israeli-owned hummus brand, owned by the Osem group. Writing on the wall called for stores to “deshelve” Sabra.
