Student Group Wants To Learn From Marxist Terrorist Org’s ‘Example’

Students for Justice Palestine (SJP) at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, planned to host an event discussing how activists could follow a terrorist group’s “historic example” — until a Trump administration official pressured the school.

The scheduled event would have promoted the history of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an Iran-backed Marxist group that joined Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel, according to screenshots of SJP’s now-deletedInstagrampost. Vassar College warned SJP that it is illegal to provide “material support for terrorism” and that its rhetoric could spark visits from President Donald Trump’s immigration officials, leading SJP to cancel the event, the organization claimed in a statement.

“Check out this teach in on the PFLP (the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) titled ‘They Will Certainly Be Victorious … on Tuesday, December 9! SJP wrote, according to screenshots. “We will discuss how the Palestinian resistance group’s historic example can inform our organizing today.” The Instagram post featured the PFLP’s logo.

Vassar College did not respond to the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
