While university protesters claim only tosupport Palestinians’ humanitarian rights, evidence obtained from encampments at the University of Texas and elsewhere shows pro-Hamas propaganda supporting the genocide of Jews, plus weapons and tools to vandalize buildings.
On April 29 at the UT campus in Austin, police moved in to break up an encampment. In what was left behind, officials discovered a series of handouts celebrating the death of innocent Jews and the elimination of Israel. The material, in paper stacks bound by rubber bands and metal clips, was hidden among art supplies for distribution at the event, officials said.

One document celebrated “rocket attacks on Zionist settlements… with over 2,300 rockets launched last year.”
Another rejected peace or a two-state solution, reading, “we are not satisfied with co-existence or ending apartheid, liberate the land, from the river to the sea.”
Another quoted theAlAqsaMartyrsBrigade, arecognized terrorist group targetingIsraeli civilians. “We will emerge upon you,” it read, “from where you least expectit.”
“The material repetitively calls for the absolute elimination of Israel and Israelis through violence, and that’s about as extreme as it gets,” said Paul Edgar, an expert in Middle Eastern cultures at the University of Texas. “It is very intentional about identifying and supporting other extremists and terrorist groups: Lions’Den, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,and the PLO,” the Palestine Liberation Organization.

“It’s propaganda. I don’t think you can say anything besides that,” said former Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, now a senior fellow at the Defense Priorities Foundation. “From theHamas perspective, I’m sure that they want to normalize themselves.They want to make themselves look reasonable.”
