Connections to Terrorist Organizations: Founded in the 1990s, SJP is directly connected to American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Certain members of SJP have previously held positions in organizations designated by the U.S. as connected to Hamas. SJP operates covertly to effectively promote anti-Zionist, anti Semitic, and occasionally anti-American ideologies.

Violence at Protests: An analysis indicates that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) leads in terms of violence at its organized protests (approximately 20%), followed by PYM (15%), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) (12%), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) (8%), Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) (6%), and SJP (5%).

Geographic Concentration: The majority of protests occur in New York and California. These states also serve as central hubs for organizations that, while presenting as civil society groups, in practice promote a new form of anti Semitism.

Impact on Jewish Students The protests' nature and intensity have adversely affected the personal security of Jewish students on campuses. As a result, some Jewish students have resorted to completing the semester through remote learning due to the escalating campus violence.

Strategic Planning by Organizers: The organizers of these protests and harassment incidents are actively planning future strategies to continue campus disruptions. This includes a scheduled conference in Detroit from May 24 to 26.

Call to Action: It is imperative that all academic institutions and relevant authorities condemn and take decisive action to halt the activities of these organizations.
