Fermin Morales
Fermin Morales participated in a pro-Hamas rally on October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more on October 7, 2023. For more information on the attacks, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
In January 2020, Fermin Morales served [00:03:52] as “an activist [and] community organizer” in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was also an “organizer” [00:56:11] with the anti-Israel group Philly Boricuas, which describes itself as a “grassroots organization aiming to unite the Puerto Rican community in Philadelphia.”

At the rally, activist Romance Albarqawi said during her speech: “What we saw yesterday morning was decolonization taking place!” The crowd cheered in response to this line as well as after another line when she said: “The resistance is justified!” Workers World Party activist Michael Wilson later said: “I think that we should all give an applaud right now to Hamas for a job well done!” The crowd again cheered in response.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped hundreds and wounded thousands. War crimes included mass rape and torture. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.” For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
