When the David Horowitz Freedom Center put up posters accusing Students for Justice in Palestine of supporting terrorism, we were attacked by everyone.

SJP, a pro-terrorist campus group, accused us of “Islamophobia”, the Daily Bruin college paper called the posters “offensive” and UCLA threatened legal action against the Freedom Center.

Chancellor Gene Block, whose mismanagement of the current pro-Hamas campus riots have made the university into national news, issued a letter attacking what he called the “Islamophobic posters” which he argued violated “the dignity of our Muslim students”.

During the current riots, Block condemned Jewish protesters resisting pro-Hamas violence and called it a “dark chapter”, rather than condemning the supporters of the mass murder of Jews.

Back then in 2015, Block’s condemnation was joined by UCLA’s Dean of Students who whined about our “inflammatory posters with gross accusations about two UCLA student groups, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Student Association.”

UCLA DEI Vice Chancellor Jerry Kang complained about our “powerful, emotional, and inflammatory associations between SJP and MSA with terrorism, murder, and hatred of Jews” while claiming that the anti-Israel activists they targeted “felt caricatured, demonized”.

These posters, like all the others, were taken down by the same campus police that now failed to remove the pro-Hamas encampment or to end the attacks on Jewish students.

Campus Jewish groups, including Hillel and Bruins for Israel, teamed up with a chapter of the anti-Israel J Street group to issue a statement condemning “the posters which were posted on campus this weekend labeling members of Students for Justice in Palestine as ‘Jew Haters.'”

In 2016, after the Freedom Center refused to back down and we put up more posters, this time naming and shaming faculty and student supporters of terrorism, UCLA’s DEI boss struck back calling the posters “hateful” and warning that the university would “deploy all lawful resources” to go after anyone putting up the posters.

UCLA refused to go after terrorists on campus, but threatened us for exposing them.

DEI boss Kang denounced us for “accusing two student organizations — the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — of being murderers and terrorists.”

“If your name is plastered around campus, casting you as a murderer or terrorist, how could you stay focused on anything like learning, teaching, or research?”

What are students at UCLA focused on now?

7 years later, SJP’s UC school chapters signed a statement declaring “our unwavering support of the resistance in Gaza” and taking pride in “Towfan Al-Aqsa” (the Hamas name for the atrocities of Oct 7) “as a revolutionary moment in contemporary Palestinian resistance.”

“We honor Palestinians who are working on the ground on several axes of the so-called ‘Gaza envelope’ alongside our comrades in blood and arms, and what is coming is greater. Victory or martyrdom,” the genocidal SJP statement proclaimed.

Less than a decade since the Horowitz Freedom Center’s posters exposing SJP were condemned as “like hate speech, directed toward this one specific group”, SJP routinely posts and promotes terrorist propaganda without a single word of protest from UCLA leaders.

While Block, Kang and other UCLA leaders had denounced our claim that SJP supports terrorism or that MSA is an anti-Israel group, SJP and MSA both announced the launch of the pro-Hamas encampment at UCLA. After Oct 7, UCLA’s SJP attacked the Board of Regents for condemning the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 and declared that, “we believe in the complete and total liberation of Palestine by any means necessary.”

When Iran’s Houthi terror proxies in Yemen began attacking civilian ships, including kidnapping and killing sailors, and then battled US Navy vessels trying to protect merchant shipping, UCLA’s SJP promoted a message urging “let Yemen inspire us all and set the example for unconditional, unwavering, and steadfast solidarity with Palestine.”

No one at UCLA, including Block, has acknowledged that they were wrong about SJP. Instead they have gone on defending the terror group and blaming Jewish people for the campus hate and violence.

In 2020, Kang stepped down as the DEI vice chancellor. Johnathan Perkins, his former special assistant, became the Director of Race and Equity. Perkins, who is half-black and half-white, built his DEI career by falsely claiming to have been racially profiled on another campus.

Perkins had previously garnered outrage for celebrating the death of Queen Elizabeth and tweeting his hope that Clarence Thomas dies. He has also accused Jews of being able to “enjoy the benefits of whiteness” and suggested that people would not support Israel “if the Jewish people persecuted in the Holocaust are not also considered ‘white.'”

This has become the new normal at UCLA.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center took on the corrupt UCLA brass and the terror-loving SJP long before the Hamas riots were on the evening news.

We were right then and we’re right now.

The establishment groups that tried to find common ground with terrorists were wrong. And they have failed to admit it or to change anything about their approach.

We were right to call SJP and MSA terrorists.

We were right to show vividly and graphically the kinds of terrorists SJP supports.

We were right to to use the hashtag #SJPJewHaters.

We were right to launch the ‘Stop the Jihad on Campus’ campaign.

“These terrorist supported organizations are afforded campus privileges, including university offices and the right to hold events on campus grounds that would be denied to any other group that preached hatred of ethnic groups or supported barbaric terrorists who slaughter men, women and children as part of a demented mission to cleanse the earth of infidels,” David Horowitz had declared when launching the ‘Stop the Jihad on Campus’ campaign.

What he said then is undeniable now. And if there’s a time to reassert those truths, it’s now.

This is not about campus protests. It’s about Islamic terrorist groups out to murder all the Jews of Israel on the way to murdering all the Christians and Jews of Europe and America.

The choice is now clearer than ever. Call them what they are. Defund them. End them.

The David Horowitz Freedom Center took on UCLA and the terrorists on campus long before it made headlines and we’re not going to stop fighting these enemies of America and humanity.
