Also as of June 2019, Jarara’s Instagram profile lists her as an “Actor”, “Model”, “Digital Creative.”

Supporting Terrorism

On October 8, 2015, during a wave of stabbings in Israel known as the Knife Intifada, Jarara appeared in a Brooklyn SJP Facebook photo covered in fake blood with a sign around her neck that read: “This is just a fraction of life under Israeli Apartheid.” 

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.


Jarara was participating in a “die-in,” which Brooklyn SJP claimed was prompted by “...recent israeli agression [sic] against Palestinians, including the murder of 17-year old Hadeel Al Hashlamoun, and 19-year-old Fadi Alloun in cold blood, execution style.”  

Per reported eyewitness testimony provided to the human rights group B’Tselem, Al Hashlamoun (18 years old) was carrying a knife through a checkpoint and did not respond to orders to step back before she was shot by Israeli soldiers.

Fadi Aloon 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. 


Defending Hamas

On July 30, 2014, during Operation Protective Edge (OPE), Jarara quoted an article from IBTimes UK on Facebook: “What basis do people have for claiming Hamas is using innocent people to shield its weapons? What evidence do they have? The answer is: none.”

Throughout the summer of 2014 — during Operation Protective Edge (OPE) — Hamas's deployment of human shields was extensively documented and publicized. Hamas encouraged Gazans to act as human shields to frustrate Israeli efforts to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza. 

Demonizing Israel

On February 23, 2016, Jarara announced on Facebook that Macaulay Honors College at CUNY sent students an e-mail inviting them to study abroad in Israel and wrote: “I want to know why of all programs, the program hosted ina state guilty of apartheid and guilty of violating numerous international laws gets promoted to students...Israeli government forces are without a doubt guilty of endless human rights violations of Palestinians, African immigrants, and several other non-white, non-Jewish groups...”

Brooklyn SJP - Supporting Terrorism  

On April 28, 2016, Brooklyn SJP shared an AJ+ video on Facebook about Dima Al-Wawi. 

12-year-old Al-Wawi was imprisoned for attempting to stab a security guard at the Israeli community Karmei Tzur. Al-Wawi later claimed she intended to kill the guard and hoped she would be killed in the process. “I was dreaming that I was going to be martyred,” she said.  


On November 2, 2015, Brooklyn SJP co-sponsoreda vigil to support former officers of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) — who were found guilty of funneling $12 million dollars to Hamas.

The Holy Land Five (HL5) were five individuals associated with the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) indicted for funneling funds to Hamas in the guise of humanitarian aid. The men were all convicted and sentenced in 2009 to federal prison terms ranging from 15 to 65 years.


On October 8, 2015, Brooklyn SJP staged an anti-Israel “die-in.” On Facebook, the group claimed the event was in solidarity with an international Palestinian “Day of Rage” called “In light of... israeli aggression against Palestinians, including the murder of 17-year old Hadeel Al Hashlamoun, and 19-year-old Fadi Alloun in cold blood, execution style.”  

Al Hashlamoun (18-years-old) was carrying a knife through a checkpoint and did not respond to orders to step back before she was shot by Israeli soldiers.

Fadi Aloon 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 Brooklyn SJP Facebook post featured a photo album of its “die-in” and referred to another “Day of Rage” event on October 6th — co-hosted by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), NYC SJP and others who supported a “Day of Rage” called by “Palestinian forces.” 

The “Days of Rage” in October of 2015 were heralded by Hamas as the advent of a new intifada. They directly resulted in the deaths of Israeli civilians by shootings, stabbings and car rammings.


On October 8, 2015, Brooklyn SJP posted a graphic showing its support for a “third intifada” and called the wave of terror a “spike” in Palestinian “resistance to Israeli oppression.”

Brooklyn SJP - Condemning Interfaith Dialogue  

On March 13, 2016, Brooklyn SJP co-organized a panel event titled “Counterproductive Collaborations - The Faithwashing of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine,” co-sponsored by NYC SJP, Brooklyn SJP and the Muslim American Society

The event featured former New York president of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and Brooklyn College graduate Raja Abdulhaq. Abdulhaq has stated that he considers any Muslim group that organizes an interfaith event with a “Zionist” counterpart to be a “betrayal.”

Brooklyn SJP - Demonizing Israel

On November 27, 2015, Brooklyn SJP shared on Facebook a misleading series of maps.

The maps claim that lands once controlled by Britain, Egypt and Jordan as autonomous “Palestinian land” were purportedly stolen by Israel. In February 2016, publisher McGraw-Hill Education recalled copies of a college textbook containing the fraudulent maps. In October 2015, American cable news network MSNBC apologized for airing a similar series of maps and retracted them.


  
On October 27, 2015, Brooklyn SJP shared an article on Facebook promoting a Palestinian Prisoners Club libel that “40% of Palestinian Children Detained by Israel Sexually Abused; Virtually All Tortured.”

The Facebook photo album of Brooklyn SJP’s October 8, 2015 “die-in” featured a placard claiming Israel’s security fence was an “Apartheid Wall” that was “30 times the length of Manhattan!” and “Twice as high as the Berlin wall!”  

Brooklyn SJP - Promoting Hate Speech

On November 21, 2014, Brooklyn SJP hosted an event featuring disgraced anti-Israel Professor Steven Salaita.

In 2014, The University of Illinois withdrew an offer of employment to Salaita after becoming aware of his anti-Semitic tweets. One tweet, posted shortly after Hamas kidnapped three teenage Israeli high school students, read: "You may be too refined to say it, but I’m not: I wish all the f**king West Bank settlers would go missing.” In 2017, Salaita posted to Facebook: “People ask if I would go back in time and change anything. I would not…I will die unapologetic.” In February 2019, Salaita stated that he had become a school bus driver in the Washington, D.C., area.



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.
