Gov. Ron DeSantis Shuts Down Pro-Palestinian Group ‘Students for Justice in Palestine’ for Aiding Hamas, Violating Florida’s Anti-Terror Laws
Governor Ron DeSantis directed the chancellor of the State University System of Florida to deactivate the “Students for Justice in Palestine” (SJP) group. The directive comes after it was revealed that the group distributed a “toolkit” inviting members to aid Hamas in their Operation Al-Aqsa Flood terrorist attacks.
In a letter from Chancellor Ray Rodrigues of the State University System of Florida, he wrote, “During a holy Jewish holiday, the recognized terrorist organization, Hamas, launched an unprovoked attack on Israel—among those killed were babies, women, and elderly. To date, approximately 1,400 Israelis have been killed, including 31 American citizens.”
Governor DeSantis, the State University System, and the Florida College System have all condemned these attacks. “Hamas is responsible for this attack and claims it as ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.’ In the wake of this terror, military leaders of Hamas have called for the mobilization of Palestinians in support of the Operation,” the letter continued.
Earlier this month, the Hamas terrorist group issued a statement declaring Friday, October 13, as a day of general mobilization for the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operations. The militant organization has called on Palestinians in the West Bank and within Israel to participate in large-scale rallies towards the border of Israel and confront Israeli soldiers at every opportunity.
The statement also calls upon Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians worldwide to converge in massive gatherings and support the Palestinian cause.
Khaled Mashal, the former leader and founding member of Hamas, has called for a global Muslim uprising in support of Palestine on the 13th as “the Friday of Al-Aqsa flood. ” During an address posted on Youtube, Mashal emphasized the need for Muslims to sacrifice and carry Jihad, including the willingness to offer their blood and souls to advance the Palestinian cause on
In response to the attacks and leading up to a “Day of Resistance,” the National Students for Justice in Palestine (National SJP) released a “toolkit” which refers to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as “the resistance.”
