Greg Chung
Greg Chung has called for Israel's destruction, expressed support for terrorism, spread antisemitism and promoted hatred of Israel. He is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
As of October 2025, Chung was the chair of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), a youth branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), at the City College of New York (CCNY). Chung has been a member of the DSA since at least 2018.
DSA has celebrated a domestic terrorist, promoted hatred of America and praised America's enemies.
Chung canvassed for DSA member Zohran Mamdani during his election campaign for New York City mayor. Chung also donated to the campaign.
Mamdani's anti-America and far-left activist network, which includes the DSA, helped him win the 2025 Democratic Party primary. He won the general election in November 2025.
DSA's ideology includes anti-American and abolitionist elements. DSA justified Hamas murdering 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023. Notable members are activist Linda Sarsour and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.
As of October 2025, Chung was listed as a student at CCNY, which is part of the City University of New York (CUNY). CUNY is in New York, New York.
On August 22, 2025, during Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, Chung posted on X: "When Israel collapses, I wonder if there's another sex pest haven for them to flee to."
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.
For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
On June 5, 2025, Chung posted on X: "...makes me wonder why we still try to pander to people who think 'Israel has a right to exist.'"
On October 16, 2025, Chung posted on X: "Listen to Palestinians...like Leila Khaled..."
Leila Khaled is a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and participated in the hijacking of TWA Flight 840 in 1969 and El Al Flight 219 in 1970. As of 2017, Khaled was a member of PFLP's Political Bureau. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated [00:36:07] for the use of children in terror activities and compared Zionists to Nazis.
On December 26, 2024, Chung posted on X: "As a Communist, I'd prefer the...PFLP...to have hegemony..."
On October 9, 2023, two days after Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, DSA posted on Instagram a statement that said [slide 1]: "DSA is steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine. / Today’s events are a direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime—a regime that receives billions in funding from the United States. / End the violence. End the Occupation. Free Palestine."
“Free Palestine” is a chant that has been described as a "battle cry for the death of Jews.” In May 2025, two Israeli diplomats in Washington, D.C., were murdered by a gunman shouting “Free Palestine!” In June 2025, one pro-Israel activist was killed and over 25 were injured in Boulder, Colorado, when a man yelling “Free Palestine” firebombed them.
The statement further read [slide 2], referring to Hamas' October 7, 2023, terror attack: "...This was not unprovoked. / For over 60 years, Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, torture, bombings, and housing demolitions. Gaza is still under a blockade."
Israel and Egypt implemented a UN-approved [pp. 39–41] joint blockade of the Gaza Strip in 2011 to stop Hamas from acquiring more sophisticated rockets. Hamas went around the blockade by smuggling weaponry through tunnels under the Philadelphi corridor separating Gaza from Egypt.
On August 23, 2025, Chung posted on X, accusing Israel of "Nazism."
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) highlights as one possible contemporary example of anti-Semitism: “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” The U.S. State Department adopted the IHRA’s working definition of anti-Semitism in 2016. Over 40 countries have adopted the definition as well.
On July 18, 2025, Chung posted on X: "Is the Israel lobby finally collapsing?"
The “Israel Lobby” is a conspiracy theory alleging Israeli and Jewish control over the U.S. government. Proponents of the theory decry the negative effects on American interests, particularly in foreign policy.
On May 4, 2024, Chung posted on X: "One of the biggest lies is that Hillel is a Jewish student org..."
Hillel International is a Jewish campus organization serving college students at 850 universities worldwide.
On March 11, 2024, DSA posted on X: "'For decades, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been a hawkish, warmongering, and bullying force in U.S. politics.'"
The stated mission of AIPAC is to “strengthen, protect and promote the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel.”
The implication that AIPAC buys political support for Israel has been described as playing into “anti-Semitic tropes” that led to “centuries of stereotypes about Jews using money to control the world.”
On September 26, 2025, DSA posted on X: "Rest in Power, Assata Shakur. The American state brutally oppressed Assata and her Black Panther Party Comrades. The Cubans welcomed her and other Black Revolutionaries with asylum, and their solidarity and loyalty allowed Assata to live out her days in Havana."
Assata Shakur was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper and wounding another in 1973 while a member of the separatist Black Liberation Army (BLA). She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba in 1984, where she resided until her death in September 2025. She was listed on the FBI Most Wanted Terror List under her legal name, Joanne Deborah Chesimard.
On September 27, 2024, DSA posted on X: "...Biden, Harris, and Netanyahu are all war criminals. Until we win an arms embargo every action of the U.S. war machine must be disrupted."
On October 25, 2023, DSA posted on X, referring to America: "The best tool we have to fight empire is a mass, resilient socialist organization..."
The terms "empire" and "belly of the beast" are both euphemisms that anti-American activists use to describe the U.S. To learn more, see Canary Mission's campaign Bringing the War Home.
On March 22, 2022, DSA posted on X, referring to the U.S.: "Bringing the fight to win a union to the belly of the beast..."
On November 5, 2025, Chung posted on X: "Zohran proved once and for all that uniting the working class means directly combatting [sic] reactionary and racist ideology, while grounding our organizing around our material class interests."
On October 24, 2025, Chung posted on X: "I like how Zohran isn't even mayor yet he already has controlled opposition."
On October 18, 2025, Chung posted on X: "...everytime I criticize Zohran, I sign up for another canvassing shift."
On August 17, 2025, Chung posted on X: "...I'm a big Zohran supporter who can't wait to canvass again..."
On July 18, 2025, Chung posted on X: "Thanks, gonna donate a $100 to Zohran now."
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is America’s largest socialist organization. Its core ideology includes anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Western and abolitionist elements.
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.
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.
