She is also the co-founder and chairwoman of New York City SJP (NYC SJP), the site says (renamed since to Within Our Lifetime), the website says.SJP is a notorious anti-Israel organization on campus, whose members have repeatedly made anti-Semitic comments and threatened Jewish students. A 2017 report by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs said SJP “serves as the leading student arm of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.”“SJP has adopted a policy of ‘anti-normalization’ of relations with Zionist groups and most Jewish organizations with the exception of the equally radical, anti Zionist and pro-BDS Jewish Voice for Peace,” the report says.Kiswani made headlines for a TikTok video in September 2020, when she threatened to light on fire an IDF sweatshirt worn by a man in New York. She repeatedly held a cigarette lighter close to his shirt. “I hate your shirt, I want to set it on fire” she said.Kiswani succeeds Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who was ‘Anti-Semite of the Year‘ for 2019. anti-SemitismNerdeen KiswaniStudents for Justice in Palestine
