Rabbi Ari Israel, director of the University of Maryland’s Hillel Jewish group, said “SJP’s callous behavior will bear on our Jewish community if they protest on the greatest Jewish day of mourning and tragedy since the Holocaust.”

The University of Maryland will allow the anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine to take over a massive chunk of its campus on October 7, the anniversary of Hamas’ slaughter of 1,200 Israelis.
Rabbi Ari Israel, director of the university’s Hillel chapter, told The Daily Wire he expressed concerns about the event to university leadership, to no avail. SJP held a similar event on Tuesday, the university’s second day of classes, setting up 15,000 flags in the center of campus to “honor the 150,000+ martyrs who have lost their lives within the past year,” and holding speeches against “the zionist entity,” according to an SJP flier.
