Calling for Hitler

On May 13, 2013, Elaarag tweeted “israel attacks syria, its times like this when i wish hitler would rise from the dead.” 

Supporting a Terrorist

On April 7, 2014, Elaarag tweeted “#pride” that “palestinians,tunasians,saudis&arabs all around the world hacking into israel's systems for the freedom of samer alessawi.” 

Samer Issawi is a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) who received a 26-year prison sentence in 2002. During the second intifada, Issawi manufactured and distributed pipe bombs and fired indiscriminately on Israeli civilian vehicles. In December 2013, Issawi called for the kidnapping of Israelis, saying: “The [Palestinian] prisoners' release will be brought about by kidnapping and [prisoner] exchanges. Nothing will happen without that.”



Israel Hatred  

On July 13, 2014, Elaarag tweeted: “how about eliminate Israel and get it over with.”

On July 5, 2014, Elaarag re-tweeted a tweet of a graphic showing an Israeli soldier. Above the photo was written “I acknowledge that Israeli military is nothing but a terrorist group made up of thugs and cowards. Next to the photo was written “This is what Israeli military is. Bunch of terrorist who terrorize Palestinian Daily.”

On August 2, 2014, Elaarag retweeted a tweet that said: “I always thought Israel controlled Gaza. But now, I realize that Israel controls all Muslim countries except Gaza.” 

SPHR Concordia  

SPHR Concordia was formed in 1999 via a merger between the Concordia Centre for Palestinian Human Rights (CCPHR) at Concordia and the Palestinian Solidarity Committee (PSC) at McGill University.

The group gained notoriety after instigating a riot at Concordia University, that forced the former (and current) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel a speech scheduled for September 9, 2002.

Ticket holders later reported that the protesters subjected them to anti-Semitic slogans and physical attacks. A holocaust survivor was kicked in the groin and a local rabbi with his wife were assaulted and spat on.

SPHR Concordia’s Constitution, last updated February 25, 2015, calls for “the right of resistance” and labels Israel “colonialist and imperialist.” 

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.
