‘Politically Necessary’: Student Org Plans ‘Day Of Resistance’ Event Celebrating Hamas Massacre

The National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organization announced a “Day of Resistance” event will be held Thursday to celebrate the impending “liberation” of Palestinians following a weekend of terrorist attacks against Israel, according to an Instagram post.

Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, launched thousands of rockets and hundreds of its military operatives into the Jewish state Saturday morning, resulting in the deaths of over 900 Israelis, with 2,700 more injured and an unknown amount taken hostage, according to the Israeli Defense Forces. SJP reacted to the news Saturday with excitement, calling the attack a “historic win” for Palestinians and demanding that its student chapters across the nation hold protests for a “National Call To Action,” according to an Instagram post.

“Catching the enemy completely by surprise, the Palestinian resistance has captured over a dozen settlements surrounding Gaza along with many occupation soldiers and military vehicles,” the post’s caption reads. “This is what it means to Free Palestine: not just slogans and rallies, but armed confrontation with the oppressors … As the Palestinian student movement, we have a responsibility to join the call for mass mobilization. National SJP is calling on all chapters and allied student orgs to join a National Day of Action on Thursday, October 12.”
