Hailey Ho
Hailey Ho called for intifada and spread hatred of America at a pro-Hamas rally in March 2025. Ho also called for Israel's destruction and expressed support for Hamas terrorism during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists. Israel launched the war after the October 7, 2023, terror attacks.
Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped hundreds more that day. For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
Ho is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
As of March 2025, Ho was a member [00:01:31] of the anti-Israel campus group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) (UMass Amherst SJP).
As of April 2025, Ho's Facebook page said Ho was located in Melrose, Massachusetts.
On March 16, 2025, Ho called for intifada and spread hatred of America as a speaker at a pro-Hamas rally in Boston, Massachusetts. Ho spoke as a representative [00:01:31] of the anti-Israel campus group UMass Amherst SJP.
During the protest, Ho said [00:08:46]: "From Amherst to Lowell, to Boston, to Gaza, long live the student Intifada!"
The term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” carries the connotation of violence. Palestinian intifadas waged against Israel have been marked since 1987 by hundreds of hijackings, shootings, stabbings, bombings and suicide missions.
Ho continued [00:09:02] to lead the crowd in chanting: "Long live every form of resistance against the foolish Zionist project [Israel]! Intifada, Intifada! Long live the Intifada! Intifada, Intifada! Globalize the Intifada!"
Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” is a euphemism for nationalistic terror and is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
In the speech, Ho referred [00:07:26] to America as "stolen land" and said [00:07:44] that American "institutions are actively complicit in genocide."
During the same protest, Ho also led the chants [00:01:42], referring to the U.S. government's attempt to deport anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil: "We want justice! You say how? Free Mahmoud Khalil now!...Free Mahmoud! Free them all! Break the chains and watch them fall!"
For more information on Khalil's support for Hamas, check Canary Mission's campaign titled: “Lawsuit Names Prominent U.S. Hamas Supporters.”
On January 22, 2025, Ho posted on X: "yes lets give hamas everything they want! death to israel! palestine from the river to the sea!"
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” is a chant used [00:02:47] to call for the elimination of the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state. In April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the chant as antisemitic.
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 November 13, 2024, Ho posted on X: "YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" in response to another post that read: "rocket alarms sounding across central Israel
."
On December 27, 2024, Ho posted on X: "yayyy !!!" in response to another post that read: "Millions of Israelis are currently in shelter as Houthi terrorists in Yemen launched a missile attack, triggering sirens across Israel."
Following the outbreak of Israel’s 2023 war against Hamas, Houthi terrorists attacked commercial ships off Yemen’s Red Sea coast and launched missiles into southern Israel. Like Hamas, the Houthi movement is backed by Iran, and is designated as a terror group by the United States, Saudi Arabia and other countries. The Houthi slogan translated into English reads: “God is the Greatest / Death to America / Death to Israel / A Curse Upon the Jews / Victory to Islam.”
On November 28, 2024, Ho posted on X: "me when my family brings up my court hearing and i have to explain that i actually dont want to be a successful computer scientist and i want to do INTIFADA."
Ho's post a link to another post on X featuring a photo of Abu Obeida.
Abu Obeida is the official spokesperson for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades — the armed wing of Hamas.
On November 2, 2024, Ho posted on X: "my pronouns are ha/mas."
On November 5, 2024, Ho posted on X: "dont tell anybody but i f**ked up my voter registration so i did not vote ( i was either gonna vote psl [party for socialism and liberation] or write in yahya sinwar depending on my mood )."
Yahya (Yehiya) Sinwar masterminded the October 7, 2023 terror attacks on Israel. While serving four life sentences in Israel, he was released to Gaza following the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal. On October 17, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces eliminated Sinwar in Gaza.
On January 19, 2025, Ho posted on X: "#NewProfilePic" and added a photo of Ho wearing a Hamas-style headband behind the bars. Text below Ho's photo read: "please politically radicalize me."
On February 10, 2025, Ho posted on X: "...#ilovehamas."
As of March 2025, Ho's Instagram bio read: "..."
The inverted red triangle is a symbol showing support for Hamas and Palestinian terrorism. It was first used by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks to signify an Israeli target.
Also as of March 2025, Ho went by the name "hailey " on X.
In the October 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack on Israel, numerous terrorists infiltrated into Israel in motorized paragliders. Hamas terrorists descended in gliders on the Nova Music Festival, where they slaughtered over 360 unarmed young men and women. In the wake of the atrocities, images of Hamas militants on paragliders served to symbolize and glorify the deadly attacks.
SJP is the leading student organization engaged in anti-Israel activity on North American college and university campuses. The first chapter of SJP was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley by Professor Hatem Bazian, who has spread anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group.
SJP organizes anti-Israel campus campaigns, including running annual Israel Apartheid Weeks and pushing the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. SJP activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated and harassed Jewish students, and SJP chapters have often endorsed and campaigned for terrorists.
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.
