One of the most shocking yet underreported truths about the anti-Israel protests sweeping college campuses is that these activists don’t just hate Israel—they despise the United States and the foundations of Western civilization itself. At Temple University in Philadelphia, members of the extremist group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) were caught on a group chat openly admitting that their real mission is the annihilation of America and capitalism. These radicals, emboldened by years of coddling from leftist academia, now believe they are untouchable, flaunting their seditious goals without fear of consequences.
During an April 24, 2025, webinar titled “Twisted Laws: Mumia, Universities & Palestine,” Rishi Arun, president of Temple University’s SJP chapter, declared: “It is our job to destroy imperialism, to destroy the United States […] by organizing in a way that actively undermines and destabilizes the legitimacy and power of the state.” Arun, a key organizer of the 2024 Pennsylvania State student encampment, made it clear that their movement isn’t about peace or justice—it’s about tearing down the very fabric of American society.
Even more alarming, Mohammed Khatib, Europe coordinator for the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network—a U.S.-designated terrorist organization—boasted about the broader implications of their campaign: “If Palestine is liberated, this means this is a nail to dismantle the United States of America.” The webinar, hosted by Samidoun, also featured a live call from convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who praised the pro-Palestine movement as the “most important freedom movement in modern America.”
The liberal media, of course, refuses to expose this extremism, instead portraying these agitators as harmless activists fighting for “social justice.” But their own words reveal the truth: this is a coordinated assault on America’s sovereignty, economy, and values. While the left-wing press turns a blind eye, President Donald Trump has consistently warned about the dangers of radical ideologies infiltrating our institutions. His strong stance against anti-American extremism and unwavering support for law enforcement stand in stark contrast to the Democrats’ silence—or worse, their tacit approval of these movements.

Temple University, founded by Baptists in the late 1800s as a beacon of education and moral virtue, has been hijacked by Marxist radicals who seek its destruction from within. The question isn’t just how far these groups will go—it’s how long the liberal establishment will keep enabling them.
