As The Algemeiner has previously reported, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) has been a wellspring of anti-Semitic rhetoric at Rutgers. The group was one of dozens of SJP chapters that cheered Hamas’ Oct. 7th massacre across southern Israel, an attack that resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths and numerous rapes of Israeli women.

Hugh Fitzgerald As video footage of the terrorist group’s atrocities against Israeli civilians circled the web, Rutgers SJP shared on its Instagram pages memes that said “Glory to resistance.” They burst out of their Gazan jail, and made straight for their jailers, traveling on any vehicle they had at hand — cars, trucks, motorcycles, paragliders — and by foot, too. They were fearless. These lion-hearted Palestinians attacked the Zionist soldiers straight on. And managed to kill more than a thousand of the enemy.

A milieu of extreme anti-Zionism at the school has resulted in at least one death threat against the life of a Jewish student since Oct. 7th. In November, a local news outlet reported, freshman Matthew Skorny, 19, called for the murder of a fraternity member he identified as an Israeli, saying on the popular social media forum YikYak, “To all the pro-Palestinian ralliers [sic] … Go kill him.”

Similar incidents at Rutgers have occured frequently. In the past few years, the school’s (Mostly Jewish) AEPi fraternity house has been vandalized three times. In one incident, in April 2022, on the last day of the Jewish holiday of Passover, a caravan of participants from a SJP rally drove there, shouting anti-Semitic slurs and spitting in the direction of fraternity members. Four days later, before Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, the house was egged during a 24-hour reading of the names of Holocaust victims….

Yes, calling for support for Hamas may in some places be unpopular — though not, obviously, at Rutgers — but as Rutgers President Holloway has pointed out, Dr. Martin Luther King was unpopular in his time. So Yahya Sinwar and Martin Luther King have that in common. And come to think of it, Sinwar shares Dr. King’s belief that the “moral arc of the universe bends toward justice.”

A week after top Rutgers University administrators ended a pro-Palestinian student encampment on campus by negotiating with the protesters, some New Jersey lawmakers say the state university failed to address similar concerns from its Jewish faculty and students months before the demonstration began.

Anti-Semitism is not a problem at Rutgers. There isn’t any. There is anti-Zionism, which is a different thing, and completely justified. And the main problem on campus is  anti-anti-Semitism, which students are being forced to study, when what they really need are courses in how to promote and support anti-Zionism. For Zionism is the most sinister and destructive force in the world today. Anyone who disagrees with that statement has no business teaching on an American campus today.
