Just before the founding of SJP, the Arab Student Union on campus participated in the International House Annual Cultural Festival with a display table with a Palestinian flag on it. The International House staff overseeing the event came to the table demanding the flag's removal from Osama Qasem because the Hillel students next to the ASU table complained that the flag was threatening and should be taken down. The Arab Student Union members at the table refused to take the flag down, and this incident was one factor among others that contributed to forming SJP as a voice for Palestine on campus.

A covert campaign to force me out of my first teaching role began when I merely shared an article about the Palestinian issue in my classroom. The vigilance and coordinated attack on anyone voicing any sympathy for this oppressed people is astonishing.
