Campus group writes pro-Hamas handbook

The pro-Hamas student group behind a series of protests against Israel produced a “Day of Resistance Toolkit” complete with graphics, hashtags and information for campus walkouts across the US, The Post has learned.

The documents were for National Students for Justice in Palestine’s “national day of resistance” on Oct. 12, five days after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre that killed around 1,200 people.

It sent out precise instructions about how to conduct rallies, sitins and “disruptions” and told participants to call the massacre a “resistance” in language glorifying Hamas, documents seen by The Post reveal.

The cut-and-paste toolkit for radicals included templates for a graphics featuring a hang glider set against a red background — the vehicle used by Hamas to fly over the border fence into Israel.

Students at California State University in Long Beach were among those to display the hangglider graphic at a protest.

The five-page document calls

the attack on mostly Israeli civilians by the name Hamas referred to it — Operation Towfan AlAqsa — then misstates the day the mass-murders happened.

“On the morning of October 8th, the Palestinian resistance stormed the illegitimate border fence, gaining control of the Gaza checkpoint at Erez, and reentering 1948 Palestine,” says the primer sent out by the student group.

“Referred to as Operation Towfan Al-Aqsa (Al-Aqsa Flood), the resistance has taken occupation soldiers hostage, fired thousands of rockets, taken over Israeli military vehicles and gained control over illegal Israeli settlements.”

The group does not mention the number of Israeli civilians who were savagely raped, tortured and killed nor the more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas terrorists.

Students for Justice in Palestine, which describes itself as a “grassroots, youth-led volunteer organization,” claims to have 200 chapters in universities and college campuses in America and

Canada.

It’s not clear who is behind the group’s funding, but donations on its website are directed to the Westchester People’s Action Foundation, a White Plains, NYbased nonprofit activist group that acts as a fiscal sponsor for the student organization.

Last week, a bipartisan group of more than three dozen lawmakers called on Gov. Hochul to ban the student group, accusing it of fomenting violence and hate.
