On December 11, 2023, the PPC organized a rally in Philadelphia’s Washington Square Park, where participants condemned politicians who expressed support for Israel in its war against Hamas. The rally took place during U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to the city. Protesters referred to President Biden as “Genocide Joe.”
Rami Ibrahim, who goes by the nickname "Son of Palestine," spoke [00:10:20] at the rally, where he glorified [00:13:29] Hamas. Other speakers accused Israel of murdering children and perpetrating “genocidal attacks.”
Another speaker led rally-goers in the pro-terror chant: "Resistance is justified when people are occupied!" and in the call for Israel’s destruction: “From The River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!” Speakers urged people to “shut down” the United States “until Palestine is free.”
