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.
