Lawmakers send letter to New York Gov. Hochul calling for ban of pro-Hamas student group
Fox News ^ | 11/20/23 | Bradford Betz

A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Monday sent a letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul asking that the Democrat ban "Students for Justice in Palestine," a pro-Palestinian group whom they allege has "spewed hate and endorsed violence, from NY college campuses."

The letter, signed by more than three dozen lawmakers, points to rising instances of antisemitism at "countless public and private universities throughout New York City and State" in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack by the Hamas terrorist group in Israel.

"These are extraordinarily difficult days for Jewish New Yorkers affected by a steep rise in hate and bias in the weeks following October 7th," the lawmakers say.

The signatories pointed to a group, "Students for Justice in Palestine," that they argue has become "a major growing cause of concern on college campuses" and has chapters "throughout American Universities."

The lawmakers say SJP’s umbrella organization, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (National SJP) has heralded Hamas as a resistance movement and regards "Palestinian students in exile" as being part of the movement, not merely in solidarity with it.

The lawmakers accuse SJP of having released statements across New York State that "endorse the use of violence and attacks on civilians." They allege that SJP members, at events, have chanted incendiary slogans like "from New York to Gaza, Globalize the Intifada" and "when people are occupied, resistance is justified" and "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

"This is a civil rights issue, it is an equal protection of the law issue, and it calls for bold action and moral courage," the lawmakers say. "Jewish students have a right to an education free from persecution, harassment, intimidation, and threats to their physical safety."

As I observe the Hamas worshiping phenomena taking hold in the U.S., it seems very similar to the growth of Satanic worship clubs being formed in today’s schools. In both instances, it’s Satanic and to observe it is to observe Satan working his influence on humanity and society. It’s further evidence of the decay that’s underway.

“when people are occupied, resistance is justified”

Gaza was not “occupied” by Israeli forces as of October 7th.

War crimes such as those of October 7th are never justified.

Be very careful.

If Deep State bans Hamas, soon it won’t just be Hamas.

“Pro-Hamas”

Finally someone calling them what they are. I’m so sick of the media calling them “pro-Palestinian” so the left can make Israel out to be the villains.

New York liberal Gov. Kathy Hochul is being asked to ban “Students for Justice in
Palestine,” a campus group who are allegedly “spewing hate and endorse violence.”

The progressive Hochul said she’d get back to them but first
she had to check to see how Germany handled the problem.

Hamas had 100% control over Gaza and lots of EU/US/Arab money, but still filled Gaza with hate.

“If Deep State bans Hamas, soon it won’t just be Hamas.”

Talk to some hard-working Asian youths who applied to Harvard about that.

When did so many here become cool with criminalizing being sn anal sphincter?

If the participants are doing anything illegal, then arrest, charge, try and, if convicted, lock them up.

But no, I’m not calling for people to be locked up for being ********.

How about we stop importing them first.

I’m very cool with THAT.

Or banned.

We start banning speech just because we don’t like it, then we deserve what we get.

Agreed. It's all fun and games until the politicians decide that Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, 2nd Amendment supporters are hate groups and decide to ban them.

How would a Governor ban a college campus political group?
Isn’t that the job of the universities?

What is Hochul, Emperor? If LAWMAKERS want to ban something, why don’t they pass laws to do it? Hasn’t she done enough damage over COVID with her illegal powers? Why enable her and her ego further?
