These student organizations at American universities have celebrated Hamas’s acts of terror in Israel.
Since Hamas brutally attacked Israel early on Saturday, I’ve been sharing all the statements I can find from student organizations that praise the acts of terror and the murders, rapes, and abductions of civilians. Some I encountered myself, others I received from students at these universities who are similarly outraged by the response on campus. I’ve compiled them here and will continue to update the list as necessary.
Columbia University
Statement signed by South Asian Law Student Association, Palestinian Student Union, Palestine Working Group, Columbia Law Students for Palestine, the National Lawyers Guild at Columbia University, Columbia Law’s Restorative Justice Collective, the Arab Students Association, Empowering Women of Color at Columbia Law School, the Muslim Student Association, the Middle Eastern Law Students Association, and the Conflict Resolution Collective:
Students at @Columbia have signed a statement somehow even worse than the @Harvard one. pic.twitter.com/nwz2JPa2wL

Community for Human Rights:
Some highlights from a truly sickening Instagram post from @NorthwesternU’s “human rights” club, which accuses Jews of controlling the media through “Zionist propaganda” and “stands in solidarity” with Hamas. Parents, this is where your tuition dollars go.https://t.co/nsmWkt39Vb pic.twitter.com/EoYcqUx5G5

University of Illinois
Students for Justice in Palestine:
Students for Justice in Palestine at @UofIllinois plan a rally for “solidarity” with Hamas terrorists, saying “Palestinians’ freedom can only be attained through resistance.”
We know what “resistance” looks like. It looks like hundreds of dead Jews. It looks like atrocities. pic.twitter.com/CS1ubLNomd

Swarthmore College
Students for Justice in Palestine:
Students for Justice in Palestine at @swarthmore “honors the martyrs” and calls for more indiscriminate killings of Jews. According to them, Nazi-like murders are justified by the existence of the Jewish people. pic.twitter.com/xJrhH5JDi9

University of Virginia
Students for Justice in Palestine:
This one might be the worst I’ve seen so far. Students for Justice in Palestine at @UVA says Hamas brutality makes them “hopeful for the future of Palestine.”
The indiscriminate murder of Jews is “a step towards a free Palestine,” they say. pic.twitter.com/KKCT1cnWxa

Georgetown University
Jewish Voice for Peace:
Jewish Voice for Peace at @Georgetown (really an odious group that has absolutely nothing to do with Judaism or the Jewish people) blames Israel for the brutal Hamas attacks in an Instagram post.https://t.co/LS4ptQsnyI pic.twitter.com/xUGborDmOS

New York University
Students for Justice in Palestine:
In a stunning Instagram post, Students for Justice in Palestine at @NYU explicitly rejects the idea that Hamas should not murder Jewish civilians. pic.twitter.com/My4XLfomSE

Brandeis University
Students for Justice in Palestine:
If you’re not enraged yet, you will be now. @BrandeisU professor Ilan Troen’s daughter and son-in-law were tragically killed in the Hamas attack on Israel (and may their memories be blessings). Meanwhile, SJP is hosting a rally for terrorist “martyrs.”https://t.co/aPLs9VsA0G pic.twitter.com/YJ7yUWJmoN

Ohio State University
Students for Justice in Palestine:
Students for Justice in Palestine at @OhioState calls Hamas murderers and rapist a “heroic resistance.”
You have to assume, if they were around 80 years ago, they would’ve cheered on the Holocaust as well. pic.twitter.com/nhYHKzQh3m

New York University School of Law
Student Bar Association president Ryna Workman:
The elected student president of the NYU Law School Bar Association just sent out a message refusing to condemn Hamas’s mass slaughter and effectively cheerleading it. pic.twitter.com/mtn3ZUP4Li

Harvard University
Statement signed by dozens of student organizations:
large number of harvard student organizations blaming israel solely for hamas terrorist attacks killing 700 civilians.
can’t imagine who would want to identify with such a group. harvard parents—talk to your educated kids about this. pic.twitter.com/q9StJ3MJpf

University of Chicago
Students for Justice in Palestine:
SJP at @UChicago, spitting on the graves of Jews killed in the Holocaust, calls Gaza a “concentration camp.” Its members claim massacres of Jews are just a “conflagration” and aren’t even “about Hamas.” And, perhaps tellingly, they deny Iran’s role as a sponsor of terror. pic.twitter.com/U2spcCIvm2

Tufts University
Students for Justice in Palestine
Campus radicals are tripping over themselves to outdo each other praising the gang-rapist, mass-murdering, baby-beheading terrorists of Hamas.
Mazel tov to Tufts, which is currently in the lead!
As I prize, I hope you win a lifetime as baristas. pic.twitter.com/ErQDIkRr8w

Fletcher School Fares Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies Coordinator:
Right on cue, the future diplomats at the @FletcherSchool protest the @TuftsUniversity president’s statement on the grounds that he spoke against terrorism too forcefully. Nowhere in this email is a condemnation of Hamas, just Israel. https://t.co/ESyRe1wXzf pic.twitter.com/HsL0Ee8hk7
