"In the wake of the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, the United States has seen a marked rise in rallies and protests, both on main street America and on college campuses, expressing support for the Hamas terrorist organization. Much of this troubling activity, which has included calls for violence, the unabashed articulation of antisemitism, and even calls for genocide against Israel, can be attributed to a constellation of extremist groups. Two groups stand out in particular: American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP),a campus group that receives funding and training from AMP. Seven years ago, I testified before Congress on two separate occasions, noting how AMP was spawned by individuals who previously worked for nonprofits that were shuttered by federal authorities or sued in civil court because they provided financial or material support to Hamas."
