[Learn about the Freedom Center’s Jew Hatred on Campus Campaign.]
The world recently watched in horror as a Muslim terrorist murdered shoppers at a Kosher supermarket in Paris. On another February in 1969, two Jewish students from Hebrew University were murdered when a Kosher supermarket was bombed in Jerusalem. Both supermarkets were targeted before the Sabbath by racist killers who wanted to kill as many Jews as possible.
SJP UCLA continues to support Rasmea Odeh, one of the racist terrorists behind that bombing plot. Its Facebook page carries the hashtag #FreeRasmeaNow.
SJP UCLA is angrily protesting posters which accuse the group of supporting Jew-hating terrorists. If SJP UCLA doesn’t want to be associated with the hashtag #JewHaters, it should stop using the hashtag #FreeRasmeaNow. It should stop targeting Jewish students and stop making UCLA unsafe for Jews.
The posters show Jew-hating Hamas terrorists in action. Is associating SJP UCLA with Hamas unfair?
UCLA SJP has hosted Amir Abdel Malik who once brandished a check made out to Hamas, Palestine and called for an anti-Semitic backlash.
It hosted Hatem Bazian, SJP’s co-founder, who raised money for Hamas and trafficked in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. It hosted Alison Weir who claimed that medieval Jews drank blood. It hosted Taher Herzallah who wrote that “Hamas’ rockets are an oppressed people’s audible cry for help.”
And that was just one year.
UCLA SJP whines that calling it #JewHaters is “hate speech.” If its members don’t want to be called JewHaters, maybe they should stop inviting speakers who hate Jews and claim that Jews drink blood.
If UCLA SJP doesn’t want to be associated with Jew-hating, maybe it shouldn’t have invited a speaker whose hatred for Jews was praised by Neo-Nazi and Klan leader David Duke.
UCLA SJP complains that posters associating it with Hamas terrorists use “Islamophobic and anti-Arab tropes.” Is pointing out that UCLA SJP associates with Hamas supporters Islamophobic?
If SJP UCLA doesn’t want to be associated with Hamas terrorists, maybe it should stop associating with them.
SJP UCLA complains that the posters are “intimidating.” If it thinks that a poster depicting racist Jew-hating terrorists is intimidating, imagine how much more Jewish students feel intimidated by the actual Jew-hating terrorists trying to kill them. And by SJP UCLA’s ongoing support for those terrorists.
Students for Justice in Palestine has made UCLA into a hostile environment for Jews. That’s why the David Horowitz Freedom Center named it one of the ten worst anti-Semitic campuses in America as ranked on the website Jewhatredoncampus.org. The Simon Wiesenthal Center described SJP UCLA’s targeting of students based on their ties to Jewish groups as “McCarthyite” and “cyberbullying.”
SJP UCLA has been the subject of numerous complaints from Jewish students and from national Jewish organizations objecting to its bullying tactics and the spread of its culture of Jew-hatred on campus.
The effects of the hatred unleashed by SJP UCLA were described by one Jewish student as affecting her “mental stability” which had “devastating effects on my academics.” Another student had stated, “our education is being put on hold because my identity is being put on trial.”
SJP UCLA complains that it’s being delegitimized. That is an odd complaint coming from an organization whose sole mission is delegitimizing the Jewish State and any students, Jewish or non-Jewish, who don’t go along with its program of hate. SJP UCLA has even targeted non-Jewish students for taking trips with the Anti-Defamation League, a mainstream civil rights group, and the American Jewish Committee.
An organization that bullied Jewish and non-Jewish students for associating with Jewish organizations is now whining that it’s being intimidated by posters that call it out for its racist Jew-hatred.
SJP UCLA isn’t being delegitimized; it’s already illegitimate. Any organization that invites racists to spew hatred on campus, that bullies Jewish students and makes them feel unsafe is always illegitimate.
SJP UCLA is trying to misrepresent itself as the victim after being called out for its Jew-hatred. It’s trying to claim that speaking out against its hate is bigotry. It’s lying.
SJP UCLA is not the victim of hate. It’s the perpetrator.

On Sunday, February 22, posters depicting Students for Justice in Palestine as a group that spreads Jew-hatred and supports terror appeared on a number of college campuses including the University of California, Los Angeles. SJP has accused the posters of constituting hate speech, specifically of being “Islamophobic” and “anti-Arab.” This is a typical SJP deception since the posters say nothing about Islam or Arabs. The core of SJP’s response is equally fictional:
These posters are a clear example of hate speech directed against Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as supporters of Palestinian freedom and equality. They rely on Islamophobic and anti-Arab tropes to paint Palestinians as terrorists and to misrepresent Students for Justice in Palestine as anti-Semitic. It hardly bears repeating that SJP at UCLA is an organization that prides itself on its opposition to all forms of racism and bigotry, and which is open to and promotes the membership of students from all walks of life.
On the contrary, SJP at UCLA and on campuses across the country is a hate group that targets Jews and their supporters, spreads lies about the Jewish state and calls for its destruction — an act of genocide.
Does SJP-UCLA support terror? It supports the terrorist governments of the West Bank and Gaza whose explicit goal is the destruction of the Jewish state and whose terrorist armies target Jewish civilians solely because they are Jews.
Is SJP an organization that fights for “justice in Palestine”? Hardly. The oppression of Palestinians by the corrupt, terrorist governments of the West Bank and Gaza, is never a subject of SJP protests and propaganda. Only the Jews.
When all is said and done, SJP is built on the big lie that Israel “occupies” Palestinian land, and therefore is an illegitimate state, and therefore should be destroyed. The facts are quite different. Israel was created in the same way the Arab states of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon were created – out of land that belonged to the Turks (who are not Arabs) for more than 400 years. American Indians have a greater claim on the United States than Arabs do on either Israel, or the West Bank, or Gaza.
For nearly seventy years the Arabs have waged a war of aggression against the state of Israel. SJP is the spearhead of that aggression on American campuses. As a hate group its activities violate UCLA’s rules of community behavior. Its campus privileges should be removed.
