The notorious National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) made headlines again this week after sharing a post that called for the end of America.

“Divestment against Israel is not an incremental goal. True divestment necessitates nothing short of the total collapse of the university structure and the American empire itself. To divest from this is to undermine and eradicate America as we know it,” the now deleted post reads.

With chapters across numerous universities, SJP has garnered attention for its vocal Hamas sympathy and calls for violence.

During campus protests in April 2024, SJP was involved in creating a Telegram channel that reportedly shared instructions on obstructing police activities. This included guidance on breaking officers’ grips and carrying tools to release detained individuals, blurring the line between peaceful protest and lawlessness.

The Hamas loving group has collaborated with organizations like the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) and Within Our Lifetime (WOL), which have been long accused of supporting extremism. Even among those sympathetic to the Arab cause SJP has taken hardline positions, sometimes even criticizing Squad politicians like Jamaal Bowman and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for not aligning fully with their fanatical stance.

Founded in the mid-1990s, SJP’s roots trace back to co-founder Hatem Bazian, now a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. SJP is not officially registered as an NGO in the US, and its current leadership hierarchy is not publicly clear. Funding for local chapters sometimes comes from universities themselves, while the New York-based WESPAC Foundation has been identified as a fiscal sponsor.

In response to SJP’s antisemitic activities, pro-Israel campus groups like Students Supporting Israel (SSI) are calleing on the government to ban the organization from American universities.
