Conclusion: The horrors that we see perpetrated by Hamas are acts of terrorism, and supporting Hamas actions in any kind of way equals defending terrorists.
Organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), and other pro-Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement groups who back Hamas and their terrorist acts are supporting and praising the killing of Jews. They foment hatred against Jews and create an unsafe environment for Jewish students on campus.
