Tufts: The Bully Boys of SJP Want to Shut Down Pro-Israel Student Groups on Campus

Hat tip Campus Reform

"Patrick Collins, a university spokesperson, told Campus Reform that Tufts “rejects the BDS movement, elements of which we believe are rooted in antisemitism. We strongly oppose this renewed campaign at Tufts." 

"It is particularly disappointing that the Students for Justice in Palestine have chosen to ask fellow students to boycott not just companies but other student groups on campus," Collins continued."

The Tufts University (Massachusetts) chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is just one chapter of a nationwide movement of Brown Shirt-mentality bullies who routinely use disruption and intimidation of students who support Israel as their main tactics. Of course, they support the BDS movement against Israel (Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions) and are at the forefront of this movement on college campuses. In reality, they are a front organization for the various Muslim Student Association chapters on campuses across the nation. They increasingly act as the lightening rod for MSA (on some campuses called Muslim Student Union or MSU) taking on the more militant actions on campus such as disrupting pro-Israel events, thus, allowing the MSA (a Muslim Brotherhood creation) to pose as a religious support group for Muslim students with a bit of social activism thrown in in the form of bashing Israel.  

So now we have the SJP chapter at Tufts University not only demanding the end of any university economic or academic links to Israel in the form of BDS, but also attacking Jewish groups on campus they consider as being pro-Israel. The obvious conclusion to be drawn here is that the Brown Shirts of SJP do not believe in the free speech of those they disagree with, a common tactic of fascism.

So it would appear that SJP at Tufts is not only asking students to support a boycott of all things Israeli, but not to join Jewish groups on campus, not just groups devoted to supporting Israel, but Hillel as well. What's next, a call to boycott Jewish-owned shops?

This is par for the course for SJP. Keep in mind, SJP was co-founded by University of California at Berkeley professor, Hatem Bazian, himself a Palestinian. Bazian has been accused of anti-Semitism for years-as far back as his student activist days at San Francisco State University. It should hardly come as a surprise that his organization should become known nationwide as a bunch of Brown Shirt bullies who use disruption and intimidation as their main tactics on behalf of the Palestinians. It's what they do.

Kudos to the Tufts administrators for not only rejecting SJP's call, but for pointing out why it is so objectionable.
