Student protests on college campuses in the US have been dominating headlines, with some turning violent. Dr. Charles Asher Small, founder and director of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), points to a student organization called 'Students for Justice in Palestine' (SJP) as a central player behind these protests. SJP has over 250 chapters across the US and Canada, but its true agenda has raised concerns. Many experts believe that SJP is directly connected, both financially and politically, to some of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis banned SJP from Florida's colleges, citing their alleged ties to Hamas. SJP is now suing schools, claiming discrimination for exercising free speech rights. SJP recruits students through half-truths and propaganda, participating in anti-Israel campaigns and promoting university boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel. The organization is supported by a complex web of nonprofits, and it infiltrates colleges and universities through research donations and gifts. Dr. Small has been calling for a proper investigation of American universities and their ties to hate groups. The government's response has been slow, leading to anti-Jewish vitriol and demonstrations of violence on campuses. [4fb92176] [00528f08]
