From the No Cal J Weekly: SFSU student allegedly threatens Israeli soldier

From the Jewish Weekly, the Bay area's  local Jewish newspaper.
The president of the General Union of Palestine Students at San Francisco State has directly threatened the life of a specific soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, according to the AMCHA Initiative.

Screen shot from Tumblr

AMCHA earlier this month reported that Mohammad G. Hammad, the president of the GUPS chapter at SFSU, had posted a picture of himself holding a large knife on his Tumblr social media site, along with the caption: “I seriously can not get over how much I love this blade. It is the sharpest thing I own and cuts through everything like butter and just holding it makes me want to stab an Israeli soldier.”

 Thats old news already.  But now  Mohammad's target has a name

In turn, the Simon Wiesenthal Center warned SFSU officials of a potential threat to its Jewish students.

Though the Tumblr post of Aug. 10 reportedly was removed, AMCHA, a nonprofit that works to combat anti-Semitism on college campuses, this week released a statement claiming that Hammad “has put a name and a face to the soldier he would like to kill in one of his [other] Tumblr posts” for allegedly killing a Palestinian teenager in Hebron.

It went on to quote the post: “I’m sitting here looking through pictures of that f—ing scum (name removed to protect the soldier) … Anyone who thinks there can be peace with animals like this is absolutely delusional, and the only ‘peace’ I’m interested in is the head of this f—ing scum on a plate, as well as the heads of all others like her, and all others who support the IDF. The Liberation of Palestine can only come through the destruction and decimation of this Israeli plague and it can’t possibly come soon enough.”

In that post, Hammad “encouraged his followers to harass the female IDF soldier” and linked to her Facebook page, according to AMCHA, which also said it had notified SFSU President Leslie Wong and other school officials.

Mohammad G. Hammad's latest rant was profiled in the Jewish Press, as well.
In this post, Hammad discusses the death of an Arab 17 year old in Hebron last year. The 17 year old was shot by a female Israel Defence Forces soldier after the youth attacked her and pulled a realistic-looking toy gun on her. The post includes an entirely fabricated version of the actual events, one which portrays the Arab as a deaf teenager innocently out to get some birthday cake when he was shot to death by the IDF soldier, following an “altercation.”

 Mohammad left out the part  where the 17 year old pulled a metal replica of a gun on the Israeli border patrol.

Lori Lowenthal Marcus continues with the questions we are all asking:
Can the SFSU environment be considered a safe one with a student leader – let’s say that again, a student leader! - who has already posed making threats while caressing a knife, and is now calling for the beheading of IDF soldiers and anyone who supports them? Surely any “dialogue with student groups and counseling resources” is a tack already taken, one revealed to be insufficient. Will SFSU make clear that threats against its population will not be tolerated? The SFSU administration is already on notice. Any action taken after someone is already harmed will not be defensible. We await a response from Dr. Wong. 
A new posting on Tumblr from Mohammad G. Hammad, president of San Francisco State University’s General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS), has been discovered by the AMCHA Initiative. It’s even more graphic than the earlier one. In this post, Hammad discusses the death of an Arab 17 year old in Hebron last year.
