A documentary film released this weekend
in more than 100 movie theaters across America explores the processes by
which antisemitism exploded across university campuses, in street
demonstrations and on social media following the Hamas-led atrocities in
Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
It shows how throughout this vast
uprising, Hamas have been celebrated as freedom fighters rather than
terrorists. The film’s director, Wendy Sachs, has also noted that this tsunami of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred wasn’t a spontaneous eruption of feeling. It was orchestrated.
The Hamas narrative of murderous lies has
been embedded into campuses by the vicious anti-Israel group, Students
for Justice in Palestine. The film produces evidence that links SJP to
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the global Islamist group that spawned
Hamas, ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
Sachs says she was shocked and surprised
to discover that SJP wasn’t just another student group but connected to
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran.
What was most mind-blowing, she said, was
the revelation from 1993 when the FBI wiretapped Hamas members in a
Philadelphia hotel room and recorded them talking “about how to make
their messaging more palatable to an American audience and how when
they’re speaking to people on the left, they’re going to speak in terms
of social justice and apartheid.”
Which, of course, is precisely what’s been
carried out to devastating effect. And these activists aren’t just
aiming to destroy Israel and murder Jews. They’re aiming to destroy
America.
Last September, SJP tweeted:
“True divestment necessitates nothing short of the total collapse of
the university structure and American empire itself,” and that its aim
was “to undermine and eradicate America as we know it.”
This aim is no secret. Jihadi warriors
from both the Sunni and Shi’ite Islamic world in Hamas, Hezbollah and
Iran have repeatedly threatened that, after they have destroyed Israel
and the Jews, they’re coming for the West.
