Amid the circulation of footage showing gruesome acts of violence committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians, the City University of New York (CUNY) Law School’s Jewish Law Students Association (JLSA) shared a tweet containing instructions for making Molotov cocktails while appearing to defend Hamas’ terror campaign.

The graphic was posted on X/Twitter as a response to a written statement from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who condemned terrorism and expressed condolences for the Israeli victims of Hamas’ surprise invasion over the weekend. Zelenskyy also said Israel has the right to defend itself.

The graphic depicted a hand holding a Molotov cocktail aflame with two sets of sarcastically written step-by-step “instructions” written on the side outlining how to use it and comparing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

For one set of instructions, each step was preceded by an image of a Ukrainian flag, while the other set showed the Palestinian flag in the same manner. The steps with the Ukrainian flag called for using the Molotov cocktail as a weapon.

“Soak a cloak in flammable liquid … resoak [sic] the exposed wick and light it,” the text read. “Target a hard surface, such as an engine grill. Repeat until the invading occupiers retreat.”

However, the instructions with the Palestinian flag had a different tone. “Remove non-Zionist content from kindergarten textbooks … refrain from acts of incitement such as use of the word ‘Palestine,'” the text instructed. “Accepted limited self-rule in demilitarized enclaves outside the invaders’ colonies and military encampments.”

Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist terrorist group, invaded Israel from its enclave in Gaza, which it controls.

JLSA also declared solidarity with Hamas on Saturday, tweeting, “We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their righteous and determined struggle against murderous settler colonialism and apartheid! Palestine will be free!”

As The Algemeiner previously reported, dozens of college student groups across the US declared solidarity with Hamas on Sunday, cheering the Palestinian terrorist group one day after it invaded Israel from its enclave in Gaza and murdered hundreds of Israelis and took dozens more captive in a shocking surprise attack.

Scenes of Hamas terrorists abducting children and desecrating dead bodies have circulated worldwide and invoked global outrage. However, several chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at places such as Brown University, the University of Maryland, Tufts University, and the University of California-Los Angeles have described the attacks as a form of “resistance,” demanding others accept “our right to liberate our homeland by any means necessary.”

On Monday, Columbia University students issued a separate statement accusing “fascist, racist, and colonial Israeli governments” of oppressing Palestinians and violating human rights. Asaf Romirowsky, a Middle East expert and the executive director of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, told The Algemeiner that the statements issued by anti-Zionist college students  are “morally obscene.”
