Group claims pro-Palestinian students in US tied to terror

A new YouTube video is targeting two of the most vocal pro-Palestinian student bodies active on US campuses, attempting to expose the alleged ties between the groups and the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as to out several of the organizations’ leading members as supporters and initiators of terrorist activities across the globe.

In the video, which was produced by the advocacy group Hamas On Campus, the narrator claims the Muslim Brotherhood has been bankrolling student bodies and effectively using them as proxies in order to spread a message of radical Islam throughout American universities. The video then highlights the Gaza-based terror organization Hamas’s connection to the Brotherhood.

The narrator goes on to assert that the Muslim Students Association and the Students for Justice in Palestine organization have served as hotbeds for potential terrorists, citing several former members of the student bodies who had gone on to join and establish terror groups in the Middle East.

The video lists Wael Julaidan and Anwar al-Awlaki, both former MSA presidents at US universities who went on to join al-Qaeda and wage war against Western targets. It also notes several speakers for the MSA and the JSP who back the Hamas charter and who openly call for the murder of Jews and the eradication of the State of Israel.

The narrator further states that the SJP has orchestrated violent events in protest of Israeli policies, and adds that members of the group in California universities have deliberately assaulted or threatened Jewish students.

The Hamas On Campus website explains that the group was set up by students from different campuses across the US and Canada, representing Jews and non-Jews, left and right, liberal and conservative.

“We value freedom of speech, women’s rights and human rights,” the site reads. “For this reason we are disturbed by the increasingly radical behavior and rhetoric by Hamas supporting organizations on campus.”
