The University of Missouri's Students for Justice in Palestine faced backlash when the Mizzou College Republicans shared a fake image claiming MSJP celebrated a recent attack in New Orleans. This baseless accusation sparked outrage and calls for condemnation of MSJP, despite obvious flaws in the image. MSJP members like Leor Shomroni highlighted how the image's poor quality and language made its inauthenticity clear. The issue escalated as local Republican groups amplified the misleading post, prompting a wave of negative commentary against MSJP on social media.
On New Year's Day, another group on campus, the Mizzou College Republicans, spread a fabricated image, purported to be from MSJP, in a social media post online.
Leor Shomroni, a Mizzou grad student who is one of MSJP's seven board members, told Truthout the meme's inauthenticity should have been a no-brainer.
