On February 5, 2024, PPC, LPC and HPC held an unauthorized anti-Israel protest inside the Pennsylvania Capitol Building in Harrisburg, PA.

Activists called for Israel’s destruction in Arabic and English multiple times. They also called for violence and terrorism in Arabic.

Later, after being told to leave, many of the protestors were arrested for taking part in an “unpermitted, unauthorized demonstration.”

The rally was part of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
