Jordan Vaughan led two rallies and spoke at another in support of Hamas terrorist war crimes in October 2023 as an organizer with the Philly Palestine Coalition. Vaughan also celebrated the death of Israelis and expressed support for terrorists following the October 7, 2023 massacre carried out by Hamas, dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”
On October 7, 2023, Hamas committed terror attacks and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings. The terror attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron."
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 7] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
Vaughan led [00:06:28] chants calling for violence while helping lead a pro-Hamas rally and march in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 8, 2023. Philly Palestine Coalition and other anti-Israel groups organized the rally and march.
At the rally, Vaughan led [00:06:28] the chant “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!” and “Brick by brick, wall by wall Zionism has to fall.”
“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.
Vaughan also introduced [01:44:37] featured speakers YahNé Ndgo and [01:51:05] Brice Patterson, both of whom spoke in support of Hamas war crimes.
As protesters marched to Philadelphia’s City Hall, Vaughan rode [01:16:17] in a flatbed truck with fellow activists chanting: “Occupation is a crime! From Philly to Palestine! Apartheid is a crime! From Philly to Palestine!”
On October 8, 2023, the day after Hamas terrorists murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more, anti-Israel groups in Philadelphia held an “Emergency Solidarity Rally.” Chants during the march to the rally featured various calls for Israel’s destruction and celebrations of Hamas terrorism by using the euphemism “resistance.”
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 Saturday, October 7, 2023, approximately 2,900 heavily armed Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza. They executed numerous war crimes on civilians, including mass murder, beheadings of children, rape of men and women, torture, kidnappings and mutilation.
Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ accounts for families to see. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.” As of November 10, 2023, approximately 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, were murdered during the attacks. Hamas kidnapped 242 Israelis, including at least 30 children. At least 3,500 people were wounded, many severely.
A terrorist detained by Israel admitted he raped an Israeli woman when he broke into a kibbutz house during the October 7, 2023 attack. In March 2024, a former hostage of Hamas publicly stated she was sexually abused and tortured while in captivity.

On October 12, 2023, Vaughan spoke at an anti-Israel rally and said [01:04:08]: “I want to first start by saying, free Palestine, long live the resistance, and land back by any means necessary.”
Vaughan continued [01:07:56]: “What the resistance is offering to its people is a glimpse of decolonization, REAL decolonization.”
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 antisemitic violence.
Vaughan helped lead [00:00:47] and spoke [00:00:28] at a pro-Hamas rally and march in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 28, 2023. Vaughan held [00:50:59] a lighter, poised to set an Israeli flag on fire, but was stopped by another rally leader.
At the rally, Vaughan read out [00:00:28] the “short-term” demands made by Palestinians for a cease-fire and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Vaughan held a sign that read: “NOT OVER HERE NOT OVER THERE NO GENOCIDE ANYWHERE.”
On October 28, 2023, PPC held a rally at Philadelphia City Hall calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terror group. Israel launched the war three weeks earlier after the October 7, 2023, terror attacks.
Speakers at the rally led chants in support of terrorism and calling for Israel’s destruction. One speaker led [00:09:55] the pro-terror chant: “Free, free Palestine! Free, free Palestine! There is only one solution! Intifada, revolution! There is only one solution! Intifada, revolution!”
Speakers said [00:04:10] that beyond a ceasefire, they wanted “liberation,” meaning “ending the siege on Gaza, ending the occupation and decolonizing Palestine from the River to The Sea.” Rallygoers chanted [00:00:02], in Arabic: “From the River to The Sea, Palestine is Arab!” The speaker's statement and the chants are both calls for the destruction of Israel.
On October 18, 2023, Vaughan posted on Twitter a photo of Shani Louk, one of the civilians kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, and wrote: “Glad Hamas killed this b*tch cause what’s that?

Vaughan retweeted an October 19, 2028 tweet that included a screenshot of an October 16 interview with Abu Ubaida, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades in which he said: “...we are ready to deal with any brutal force that the enemy throws into Gaza” and "Gaza will not be anything but… a graveyard for its invaders” and “the sands of Gaza will swallow its enemy."
On October 24, 2023, Vaughan shared on Instagram a photo of PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled and wrote: “we are not afraid, *srael is the mother of terrorism.”
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.

The PFLP is dedicated to the violent destruction of Israel. It is designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the United States.
