PNN – Florida State University’s president has banned a pro-Palestinian student group after Florida’s governor asked him to expel pro-Palestinian students.
According to the report of the International group of Pakistan News Network, “Ray Rodriguez”, president of Florida State University and a friend of Ron DeSantis, a candidate for the primary competition of the American Republican Party, ordered the faculties of this university to dissolve the branches of a pro-Palestinian student group under the pretext that it supports the Hamas movement, and to avoid the possibility of prosecution.
According to Business Insider, Rodriguez issued a memo on Tuesday announcing that, after consulting with DeSantis, he would order all branches of the Students for Justice in Palestine group to be dismantled at Florida state universities.
Rodrigues claimed that this student group has supported Hamas attacks against the Zionist regime by providing a statement to students on the topic of expanding “resistance” around the world.
He also talked about a proposed bill in Florida that would make it a crime to “intentionally provide material support to a group designated as a foreign terrorist organization.”

The ally, Ron DeSantis, wrote in his note that at least two branches of the group “Students for Justice in Palestine” are definitely active at Florida State universities, but he did not specifically name them.
This student group wrote in its statement: “For more than 75 years, our Palestinian people have waged a long-term war for the freedom and return of our colonized lands with steadfast resistance. We are now witnessing an increase in the level of Palestinian struggle through the collapse of the colonial infrastructure and the liberation of our colonized land from the grip of illegal settlements and military checkpoints. Our people are realizing the revolution.”
Last week, the Republican governor of Florida and the candidate for the 2024 US presidential election warned about the presence of Palestinian supporters in the United States and said that all foreign students who support the Hamas movement and its actions against the Zionist regime should have their visas revoked.
De Santis’s statements were made while many pro-Hamas students in the United States expressed their open support for Hamas’s actions against the Zionist regime in the universities and higher education institutions of this country after the heavy attacks by the Zionist regime that resulted in the martyrdom of a large number of Palestinian civilians.
The wave of protests in support of Palestine and condemnation of the crimes of the Zionist regime has intensified in American cities.
In response to the anti-Zionist protests of students in American universities, DeSantis stated that it is not clear what is happening in American universities these days. He pointed out that this did not happen even when America was attacked by Japan during World War.
