Wow: Students for Justice in Palestine just outed itself as actually being Students for Terror in Palestine.
That’s the only possible conclusion as the group cheers Hamas’ massacres of “collaborators” in Gaza, now that the terrorists are free to wage war on rivals with the IDF pulled back to the cease-fire line.
SJP’s online tribute to pro-Hamas propagandist Saleh Al-Jafarawi, killed in Palestinian infighting, rants: “Death to the occupation. Death to Zionism. Death to all collaborators,” including the Doghmoush clan, which Hamas has alternately accused of being allied with Israel and ISIS.
SJP plainly will amplify whatever lie Hamas sells; from the start, it glorified the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks on Israeli civilians, then turned to demanding a cease-fire before the IDF even began its counterattack.
The only “justice” it supports is the triumph of the terrorists and the slaughter of Jews.
This is the group that Zohran Mamdani brought to his undergraduate campus at Bowdoin College, an SJP chapter that proceeded to oppose the arrest and deportation of convicted terrorist bomber Rasmieh Yousef Odeh.
(She was finally deported in 2017 for lying about her involvement in a pair of bombings in Israel on both her visa and US citizenship applications.)
It also hosted radical Lebanese-American professor As’ad AbuKhalil, who praised the Palestinian “godfather of Middle Eastern terrorism” and years later blamed the US for the 9/11 attacks.
Mamdani himself hasn’t gone so far as to cheer Hamas’ latest slaughter of other Palestinians; he’s playing nice during his mayoral run.
On the other hand, he refuses to say Hamas should disarm, as the cease-fire accords demand.
Pushed on the question by Fox News’ Martha MacCullum, he first tried to pivot to his “affordability” promises (the only thing he wants to talk about), before garbling, “I don’t really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety, and the fact that anything has to abide by international law.”
The record shows that Hamas is opposed to justice (except for the sharia law it imposes) and to safety: It literally dug its hundreds of miles of tunnels and bunkers beneath schools, hospitals and other key civilian structures to use innocents as human shields.
But Mamdani won’t even say the terrorists should step aside for an international force that can lead Gaza permanently out of war and into peaceful prosperity.

He’s too careful to stand explicitly with his old SJP comrades in cheering Hamas’ deadly drive to recover absolute power in Gaza, but he can barely hide the truth: That’s exactly where his sympathies still stand.
