Columbia University’s Wannabe Terrorists Hold Memorial for Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar

Students at New York City’s Columbia University last weekend held a memorial for assassinated Hamas leader and October 7th massacre architect Yahya Sinwar.

Dozens of chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and other campus groups were among those explicitly supportive of Sinwar after his death.

Upon the news of Sinwar’s death, multiple Columbia University student groups, including SJP and Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), posted about Sinwar, including sharing a digital copy of his book and posting various quotations and video clips of him outlining Hamas’s decision “to defend our people with whatever weapons we have.”

Wellesley SJP also made a series of Sinwar-related posts, including sharing photographs, interview content and messages declaring, “No matter how many leaders they take, new ones will rise; The resistance will never die.”

Students in the City University of New York (CUNY) system also praised and mourned the terror chief, in pro-terror content found in a recently launched, self-described “unapologetically pro-resistance, anonymous telegram channel,” titled “CunyResists.” The first two posts on the channel featured photographs of Sinwar and a lengthy message memorializing him and other recently killed terrorist group leaders.

The post read, in part:
“The news regarding the great commander has left our hearts heavy and out [sic] chests breathless. Today, we mourn the loss and celebrate the martyrdom of the lion of Al Quds, the beloved Commander, President, Fighter, his eminence, Yahya Sinwar … Every kuffiyeh drawn on the neck of a CUNY student is tied to the neck of the great commander who woke up the world from their deep daze. We tell the Zionist entity that your assassinations have never worked in the past and they will not work today. From Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (Hezbollah chief, killed on September 27 in Beirut) to Sheikh Ahmed Yassin [Hamas founder, killed in 2004] to Sheikh Ismael Haniyah (sic) (Hamas leader, killed July 31 in Tehran). Hundreds more will rise to take their place … Indeed it is a Jihad of victory or martyrdom.”
