On December 16, 2023, anti-Israel activist groups held a pro-Hamas march and rally titled: “Flood Philly For Gaza.” Protesters repeatedly chanted in support of terrorism, called for Israel’s destruction and also spread hatred of the Philadelphia police.
The language of “flood” is a reference to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the name Hamas used for their terror operation on October 7, 2023. It is a reference to the allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque. This accusation has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before Israel was founded in 1948. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.
Elliot Joan walked at the front of the march, holding a banner that read: "Free Palestine! Lift The Siege Of Gaza! Boycott Israeli Apartheid!" and featured two Palestinian flags on each side.
