Darializa Avila Chevalier

On December 23, 2019, Chevalier posted on X: "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me ."

On June 7, 2026, New York Post reported that Chevalier had posted on X in the past calling the United States "a f**king disgrace."

On June 12, 2020, Chevalier shared on X a now-deleted photo of herself wearing a mask that said: "DEFUND POLICE" and wrote: "Felt cute / F**k 12."

“F**k 12,” or “F 12,” is modern slang that means “F**k the police.”

On June 10, 2020, Chevalier posted on X: "No. It means ending policing full stop. Period. No more police at all ever it’s very harmful to the work Black abolitionists have been doing..."

Chevalier's post was in response to another post that said: "Abolishing the police is about the end of policing *as we know it.*..."

On June 8, 2020, Chevalier posted on X: "F**k you. We’re gonna defund and abolish. You don’t get to water down our movements."

Chevalier's post was in response to another post that said: "What would be a better slogan than 'defund the police.'"

In March 2026, Chevalier accused Israel of committing a "genocide" during its war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

The term “genocide” was coined in 1942 and first used at the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals. Since Israel's founding in 1948, anti-Israel activists have accused Israel of "genocide" in an attempt to compare Jews to Nazis and delegitimize the creation of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

On June 6, 2017, Chevalier posted on X: "Gal Gadot [Israeli actress] is definitely white. She is also a Zionist who served in the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] and openly supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Basura [trash] ."

On August 19, 2016, Chevalier co-authored an Electronic Intifada (EI) article titled "Black activists owe no apology for charging Israel with genocide."

In the article, Chevalier claimed that "Zionism is racism...the result is necessarily a system of apartheid and inequality."

Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture. Zionism is a core part of the identity of most Jews.

On August 4, 2014, Chevalier posted on Facebook: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be Free!"

“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!” is a chant used to call for the elimination of the State of Israel. In April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the chant as antisemitic.

On June 7, 2026, New York Post reported [photo 4] that in February 2019, Chevalier posted on X: "Black men Arab men / Fetishizing ugly colonizer women."

On May 23, 2026, New York Post reported [photo 3] that on September 13, 2019, Chevalier posted on X: "I held the door for this old white lady at Popeyes / Her: is that a BDS shirt? / Me: Yes / Her: You know what they do to– / Door closed before I could find out what they do."

In March 2026, when asked whether Chevalier condemned Hamas for the October 7 attacks, she reportedly said: "The premise of that question, to me, ignores the 75 years of occupation that the Palestinian people have been subjected to..."

The modern State of Israel was founded 75 years earlier, in 1948.

On October 8, 2023, Chevalier participated [00:12:47] in a rally celebrating Hamas’s mass murder of 1,200 Israelis the day before, on October 7, 2023. She wore a keffiyeh in the protest.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped 251 and wounded thousands. War crimes included various systematic sexual crimes like gang rape and genital mutilation. Men and women were violated, even after being murdered. Victims who survived that day, including hostages, endured forms of humiliation and torture.

Gazans working in the targeted Israeli villages provided intelligence to Hamas on which families to kill and torture, including long-time employers. Many Palestinian civilians joined in and celebrated the attacks. Hamas livestreamed their crimes on social media, including to victims’ accounts for families to see. To learn more, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.

On December 8, 2014, Chevalier posted on Facebook in support of Rasmea Odeh: "Help Rasmea come home! ."

Rasmea Odeh was a key military operative [00:02:08] with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization. In 1969, she masterminded a PFLP supermarket bombing that killed two college students. She also attempted to bomb the British consulate in Jerusalem. Odeh later moved to the United States but was deported to Jordan in 2017 for immigration fraud.

On August 6, 2014, during Israel's Operation Protective Edge, Chevalier posted on Facebook: "...I resist the urge to characterize all forms of resistance as terror. Especially, if we will not first be honest about the colonization and apartheid that fomented these acts of rebellion."

Israel commenced Operation Protective Edge (OPE) in July 2014, to stop rocket fire targeting Israeli civilians and to destroy Hamas attack tunnels.

Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” is a euphemism for nationalistic terror and is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and antisemitic violence.

On September 24, 2026, Chevalier shared on Facebook a photo of herself being arrested as she protested Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

In April 2026, Chevalier was arrested as she participated in an anti-Israel protest in New York.

The event was reportedly organized by Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and demanded senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer to vote against the U.S. selling weapons to Israel.

In April 2024, Chevalier was arrested [00:01:54] as she participated in an anti-Israel protest at Columbia.

A June 4, 2024 Truthout article reported that Chevalier had been "active in the alumni organizing space throughout the current student protests," including organizing "an alternative reunion for alumni…to protest the current administration."

On May 9, 2024, Chevalier was featured in an Instagram photo participating in the encampment.

Chevalier was quoted saying: "The divestment demand...It’s asking that the university divest all funds and monetary support for the companies...that uphold Israel’s capacity for engaging in genocide and apartheid."

On April 17, 2024, Columbia students and anti-Israel activists set up a pro-Hamas “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the university's main lawn. Many participants were arrested and the encampment featured multiple violent incidents, including taking over a campus building and taking a university worker hostage.

Activists protested Israel’s war against Hamas and demanded that Columbia “divest from companies and institutions that profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide and occupation…”

The action had reportedly been planned for months and was organized by the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) coalition. The encampment was also organized by Columbia’s banned pro-Hamas activist group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the university chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). Activists reportedly received training from National SJP and other anti-Israel organizations.

On April 7, 2016, Chevalier indicated on Facebook that she attended an event co-hosted by Columbia SJP and Columbia/Barnard JVP titled "Intifada: The Palestinian Uprising." The event description suggested a comparison between Israel and South African apartheid.

The term “intifada” translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection” and carries the connotation of terrorist violence, including suicide bombings, hijackings, shootings and stabbings.

In March 2016, Chevalier promoted on Facebook a CUAD petition that was launched by Columbia SJP and Barnard/Columbia JVP.

On February 1, 2016, CUAD launched a divestment campaign on Facebook with a petition and inaugural event titled "BDS 101," scheduled for February 4, 2016.

On October 2, 2015, Chevalier posed in a Columbia SJP Facebook photo with fellow SJP activists at a campus event titled: "Returning to Iqrit: Reclaiming the Right of Return."

The “right of return” is a Palestinian demand discredited as a means to eliminate Israel.

On April 28, 2015, Chevalier attended a Columbia SJP event titled: "Israel, Racism, and Apartheid: An Insider's View with Haneen Zoabi."

Haneen Zoabi, a former member of the Israeli Knesset, has a long history of inciting violence. In 2014, she was suspended from the legislature after defending the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers by the terror group Hamas, and who were later found executed in a field. In 2015, a criminal investigation was opened against Zoabi after she reportedly condoned anti-Israel violence and called for a new intifada.

On November 17, 2014, Chevalier participated in Columbia SJP’s "Right to Education Week 2014," a grassroots Palestinian movement based at Birzeit University and held on campus at Barnard College, Columbia University, from November 17 - 20, 2014.

The Right to Education Tour brings Birzeit University students to U.S. campuses, where they claim that Israel is obstructing the rights of Palestinians to higher education. This claim mischaracterizes the sweeps Israeli security forces have made to shut down terror cells operating on the Birzeit campus, including cells linked to Hamas.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is America’s largest socialist organization. Its core ideology includes anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western and abolitionist elements. In August 2025, DSA passed “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA,” making support for Israel an expellable offense. DSA has also called to “abolish I.C.E. and capitalism.”

Following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks against Israel, DSA condemned Israel, expressed support for Hamas, endorsed anti-Israel rallies and called for members to engage in anti-Israel activism. It condemned Israeli retaliatory attacks against the IRGC and Hezbollah, as well as the U.S. attacks against the Houthi terror organization, whose slogan reads: "...Death to America / Death to Israel / A Curse upon the Jews...”

DSA first endorsed the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement in 2017 and it has also condemned sanctions against countries like Iran and Cuba.

The group endorses far-left politicians on the local, state and federal levels. DSA also promotes anti-Israel agitators, including DSA members Rashida Tlaib, Zohran Mamdani and Linda Sarsour.

Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), DSA’s youth section active in high schools and colleges, has co-organized anti-Israel protests across the U.S. since October 7, 2023, particularly the April 2024 pro-terror encampments on university campuses.

SJP is the leading student organization engaged in anti-Israel activity on North American college and university campuses. The first chapter of SJP was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley by Professor Hatem Bazian, who has spread anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group.
