On March 17, 2025, Rocha posted on X, expressing support for terrorism: "The Palestinian resistance are the heroes fighting on behalf not just for themselves but for all humanity. The Zionist movement and US-led imperialism must be totally and completely defeated by any means necessary if we wish to live in a just world for everybody not just the rich."
Anti-Israel activists use the phrase “By any means necessary” as one of multiple euphemisms for terrorist violence, of which another is “resistance.”
On April 12, 2022, Rocha posted on X: "people should be armed so long as the state is armed."
On May 6, 2024, Rocha posted on X about America: "to decry the Axis of Resistance as it stands up to the imperial hegemon, this great Satan, and its colonial settlement 'Israel' is to repeat the same tired arguments used to defend the existing orders of past monarchs, empires, and colonies. / you must choose a side."
The Axis of Resistance is an informal coalition of Iran-backed paramilitary actors in the Middle East created in the 1980s. The network includes Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Shiite militia groups in Iraq and Syria. Axis members receive arms, military training and financial aid from Tehran. The group participated in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, supported Syria's Assad regime and perpetrated numerous acts of terrorism in the region.
On February 20, 2025, Rocha posted on X: "...Americanism is a Fascist ideology not unlike Nazism and Zionism..."
On March 6, 2025, Rocha posted on X, equating members of the U.S. Congress with one of the main Nazi organizers of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann: "These people are little Eichmanns."
On October 15, 2024, Rocha posted on X: "Today is the 58th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party, a bright star of revolutionary excellence in our movement’s history. We must read Huey Newton as closely as we read W.E.B du Bois, George Jackson, and Assata Shakur."
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 resides today. She is listed on the FBI Most Wanted Terror List under her legal name, Joanne Deborah Chesimard.
On May 20, 2024, Rocha posted on X: "As part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Hamas has called on the @IntlCrimCourt to have a transparent international investigation. / The announcements of arrest warrants for the genocidal leadership of the Zionist movement should be welcomed as within the resistance’s demands. / I urge everybody to read their report..."
Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, also known as Al-Aqsa Storm, is 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, and has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before Israel was founded in 1948.
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.
Rocha reposted a July 25, 2025 post on X that said: "...'Greetings to Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, greetings to the Martyrs and resistance fighters, rally around Gaza!'"
Hassan Nasrallah became the leader of terror group Hezbollah in 1992 and maintained his leadership until an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon killed him on September 27, 2024. Nasrallah once said: “In a future war, all of occupied Palestine will be struck by our rockets” and [00:00:19]: “Israel is a cancerous tumor!…The only solution is to eradicate the cancer.” He called Jews the most “cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble” people in the world.
Hezbollah has long been known as an anti-Semitic and genocidal terror organization dedicated to destroying Israel.
On May 27, 2022, Rocha posted on X: "the time is here: we must defund the police immediately."
On June 8, 2024, Rocha posted on X: "if we dissolve the abstract distinction between foreign and domestic spheres, then the concrete reality of the police, fascist militias, and the militaries of the United States and its allies becomes clear: foot soldiers of the Ruling Class entity known as the Invisible Empire."
Rocha reposted a July 28, 2025 post on X that said: "Abolishing ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], prisons, and police is an imperative task in the struggle for liberation..."
Rocha reposted a June 17, 2025 post on X from Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei that said: "We must give a strong response to the terrorist Zionist regime [Israel]. We will show the Zionists no mercy."
On June 13, 2025, Israel attacked Iran's nuclear facilities after Israeli intelligence stated Iran was "within 15 days" of creating a nuclear bomb.
Israel conducted over 1,500 airstrikes in 12 days, destroying or damaging Iran's nuclear, military and ballistic missile infrastructure. Israel eliminated 11 nuclear scientists, over 30 senior military commanders and hundreds of IRGC members. The war was officially called "Operation Rising Lion."
Iran retaliated with 1,600 missiles and drones, of which Israel intercepted over 95 percent. Iran targeted military sites, civilian apartment buildings and a hospital. 28 Israelis were killed and 3,343 injured.
On June 22, 2025, the U.S. bombed five Iranian nuclear sites with bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles, then brokered a June 24, 2025 ceasefire.
On March 16, 2023, Rocha posted on X: "The absurd designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terror is one of the biggest obstacles to diplomacy and normalization...President Biden: Remove Cuba from the list."
On January 18, 2022, Rocha posted on X: "'stop denying Stalin’s lived experiences' is one of the most powerful sentences ever written."
Joseph Stalin (1878-1953) was the communist dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1929-1953. At least 20 million died as a result of his policies, while upper estimates are around 60 million.
Rocha reposted an April 10, 2025 post on X featuring a graphic with text that said: "...America is just a paper tiger. Don't believe its bluff. One poke, and it'll bust! / - Mao Zedong in 1964."
Mao Zedong (1893-1976) was the communist dictator of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from its founding in 1949 until his death in 1976. An estimated 70 million people died due to his policies, especially during the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).

On November 17, 2023, Rocha posted on X: "decolonize 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 May 9, 2024, Rocha posted on X: "we will witness the end of Israel in our lifetimes and that is a good thing."
On June 4, 2024, Rocha posted on X, referring to Israel: "...the entire project of Zionism must be defeated totally and completely for Palestine to be free."
“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.
On October 9, 2023, two days after Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis, Rocha posted on X: "israel is a fascist regime."
On October 12, 2023, Rocha posted on X: "
CALL TO ACTION: Come to 130 Bishop Ave, Cambridge, MA to rally in support of activists who are shutting down Elbit Systems, Israel's biggest weapons supplier! Weapons companies don't belong in our neighborhoods! #ShutElbitDown."
On June 12, 2024, Rocha posted on X: "seriously guys, the zionists are in an alliance with the fascists who want to kill us all!! there is zero reason to appease them at all. they are THE ENEMY."
On June 10, 2025, Rocha posted on X, referring to the meeting between then-U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "this is like meeting with hitler and himmler during the holocaust."
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 June 25, 2025, Rocha posted on X: "okay but for real i hope zionists do leave NYC, GET OUT!"
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.
