(AUGUST 12, 2022 / JNS) The Ohio State University’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter plans to host a vigil to honor Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades terrorist Ibrahim Nabulsi, who was recently killed by Israel, on Friday at 6 p.m.
The student group announced the “emergency protest and candlelight vigil” on August 10 via its Instagram account. The post indicates that the demonstration is “in honor of our martyrs,” including Nabulsi and those killed alongside him, 25-year-old Islam Soboh and 16-year-old Hussein Taha, whom Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has hailed as mujahideen.
“We will be honoring our martyrs Ibrahim Nabulsi, Hussein Taha, Islam Soboh and Momen Jaber. Please join us as we continue to fight and stand for justice in Palestine,” says the student club in the post’s caption, calling on participants to bring “signs, flags and keffiyehs” to the demonstration.
The fall academic semester starts on Aug. 23, with students arriving on campus prior to that date.
The United States and Israel consider the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades to be a terrorist group, with the U.S. State Department designating the outfit as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
“Particularly at a time of soaring antisemitism, university leaders cannot remain silent when hate groups like SJP celebrate and pay tribute to members of U.S.-designated terrorist groups that target and murder Jews,” said Susan B. Tuchman, director of ZOA’s Center for Law and Justice, adding that administrators must put their First Amendment rights into use in “publicly and forcefully condemning SJP.”
