Christopher Rabb

On September 20, 2024, during Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, Christopher Rabb wrote on Instagram: "I do not believe that being critical of...Zionism - is being against an entire people or ethnic group."

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 October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Many Palestinian civilians participated in and supported the attacks, and Gazans working in the targeted Israeli communities gave intelligence to Hamas on where to strike.

On April 30, 2024, The Dickinsonian reported that Christopher Rabb participated in the anti-Israel encampment at Dickinson College (Dickinson).

Christopher Rabb visited "several schools in the state holding encampments."

Christopher Rabb said that Dickinson's anti-Israel encampment was "very impressive and very important" and that the protesters were "on the right side of history."

There were over 200 pro-Hamas and anti-Israel college encampments set up in North America, and over 20 more globally, in the spring of 2024. The first began on April 17, 2024, at Columbia University. The encampments were unofficially known as the “student intifada,” borrowing a term associated with terrorist violence.

Protesters harassed Jewish students, blocked Jews from campus facilities and shouted anti-Semitic slogans. They occupied campus grounds, in many cases illegally, caused property damage, violently took over buildings, celebrated terrorism and promoted the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Activists set up encampments to oppose Israel’s right to wage war against the Hamas terror group following October 7, 2023, when Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 people, including 32 American and 8 Canadian citizens. Hamas also kidnapped 252 people, including 11 Americans and the bodies of 2 murdered Canadians.

On April 5, 2025, Christopher Rabb gave a speech, in which he said [00:02:50]: "When faculty and students are being harassed, kidnapped and illegally deported for standing up against genocide...and a free Palestine! Come on, people!"

On September 20, 2024, Christopher Rabb wrote on Instagram that he was "in solidarity with the educators and students who have shown the discernment to understand that discomfort is not the same as danger, animus or even harm."

On September 6, 2024, the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported that anti-Israel Philadelphia teacher Keziah Ridgeway had been “reassigned offsite” from the Northeast High School.

An investigation was conducted into a complaint about a Northeast High School staff member who had threatened violence against Jewish parents.

Ridgeway commented on Rabb's post: "Thank you so very much ❣️"

In September 2024, the National Post reported that Ridgeway threatened the parents of Jewish students, according to a legal complaint lodged by the Deborah Project, a public interest law firm, on behalf of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.

In an August 31, 2024 post, Ridgeway posted [p. 7] a graphic that read: “Ain’t no fun when the got the ,” making a reference to a gun.

In a September 3, 2024 post, Ridgeway wrote [p. 8]: “Black owned shops in or near Philly? Asking for a friend.”

For more information on how Ridgeway and the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) are under federal investigation for anti-Semitism, check Canary Mission's campaign “Philly's K-12 Schools.”

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.

BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.

The movement’s most notable achievement has been infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents and pro-terror activism on campus.
