The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) believes that higher education is under attack from the right, but the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) demonstrated once again that the most dire threats to academia come from the left.
The leadership of the "Student Intifada," the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), has released an 85-page "position paper" justifying violence (no surprise) and offering a childish formula for the dissolution of the university system. Most alarmingly, however, it elaborates on the group's newest strategy of targeting its most vulnerable "enemies" – college and university trustees.
Marxist Palestinianism

The document dated 2025 but released on June 3, 2026, reads like a verbose AI-assisted master's thesis on a Palestinian Communist struggle against capitalism. References to the pantheon of Communists (Marx, Lenin, Gramsci, and Mao) and quotations from their writing permeate the text as it attempts to illustrate the "intersection" (academia's most popular fad at the moment) of Marxism and Palestinianism. It is the embodiment of what David Horowitz called the "red-green alliance."
It includes the usual unrealistic demands of Palestinian nationalists. In fact they don't differ substantially from the demands that Hamas, the PLO, and the PFLP have made for decades: "an end of the Israeli occupation," "an end to the Israeli system of Apartheid," and "a recognition and implementation of the right of return for all Palestinian refugees."
The group's "7-Point Political Program" is the usual combination of confrontation with university decision-makers, disruption of normal academic life, and efforts to force colleges and universities to divest from "the Zionist entity."
