Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at Rutgers University have been reinstated by the university administration after a suspension for their conduct. Following their reinstatement, the group released a 'terrorist-like' video, with members masked like Hamas, demanding the university cut ties with Israel, establish an Arab cultural center, include pro-Palestine points in DEI training, and recruit lecturers specializing in Palestinian topics. This action has sparked controversy, with some describing the video as 'terrorist-like' and others expressing concerns about the safety and inclusion of Jewish students on campus. The reinstatement of SJP at Rutgers has led to disruptions, including class interruptions and the intimidation of Jewish students, according to a statement by Rep. Josh G. The group's actions have been characterized as justifying violence, with open references to the October 7 terror attacks against Israel being celebrated by SJP chapters at other universities as 'resistance'. Rutgers University has placed the SJP chapter on probation and faces criticism for not taking stronger action against the group's demands, which include divesting from 'Israeli settler colonialism'. Other universities, such as Columbia, have kept their SJP and Jewish Voice for Peace chapters suspended. There are also reports of SJP chapters calling for genocide and violence against Jews.
Wherever 'Students for Justice in Palestine' (SJP) goes, hatred against the Jewish nation and people follow. The latest example? Boston University students honored October 7 terrorists as ‘martyrs’ - from @ambermarieduke https://t.co/0P1WUYE0bb https://t.co/dfEaztueNG

Just one day after being reinstated, the Rutgers SJP was openly justifying the rape, murder, beheading, & kidnapping of 1,200 — including Americans. @RutgersU has a responsibility to protect all its students from this dangerous rhetoric that sympathizes with terrorists. https://t.co/dSzi0ueDyf

We should hold on to the moment of the victory of October 7th and build upon it. Time is not on our side. Donations to Gaza are not “humanitarian aid” but “financial jihad”, says Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh. https://t.co/yjLypqje9E

I apologize for my language in advance, but this is something we can't keep in anymore. The Presidents of @Columbia University and @BarnardCollege don't give a fuck about their Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, or staff. (a short thread to explain this strong statement)
I could be wrong here, but this appears to be a white, American college student demanding that pro-Palestine talking points be included into Rutgers University’s DEI training in the form of a hostage video. What in the actual f*ck. https://t.co/yA21UgOTyr
