(Free Beacon) Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the pro-Hamas campus group, is sponsoring a mass protest in New York City to honor Iran’s International Quds Day — the sort of demonstration that Hamas itself encouraged its international supporters to organize in opposition to Israel.
SJP’s national affiliate and a host of other prominent anti-Israel groups — including the Muslim Action Committee, Code Pink, and Medical Students for Justice in Palestine — will assemble Friday in Times Square “in support of Palestine” and “against Zionism,” according to promotional materials posted online.
In doing so, SJP and its American allies are heeding calls from Iran and Hamas. In a Thursday message published by Tehran’s state-controlled media, Hamas urged its global supporters “to mobilize on the upcoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to defend Gaza, al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa, support our people’s resilience, reject the occupation’s crimes … and to condemn the U.S. support for these atrocities.”
