The group could be in violation of Florida state law for releasing a toolkit describing the Hamas terrorist invasion of Israel as 'the resistance.'

FILE - Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a Fair-Side Chat at the Iowa State Fair, Aug. 12, 2023, in Des Moines, Iowa. The State University System of Florida announced a ban Tuesday of a pro-Palestine student group, citing possible violations of state law.

It is a felony under Florida law to ‘knowingly provide material support . . . to a designated foreign terrorist organization,’ Rodrigues wrote. “Here, National SJP has affirmatively identified it is part of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood—a terrorist led attack.”“These chapters exist under the headship of the National Students for Justice in Palestine, who distributed a toolkit identifying themselves as part of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” Rodrigues added.

National Students for Justice in Palestine stands with Ryna!” the organization wrote. “NYU’s abuse towards Ryna has occurred as leaders and members of SJP chapters across the country face intense backlash for their principled stands against the Zionist project.”
