On September 10, 2024, the PPC held a pro-terror rally at Philadelphia’s City Hall against the presidential debate between former president Donald Trump and then-vice president Kamala Harris.
The Instagram post promoting the protest claimed that Israel, which it called the "Zionist entity," was engaged in an "extermination campaign" and a "genocide" that both candidates in the "2024 Amerikan presidential race" supported.
The same post also said, "...we stand with the resistance," a euphemism for terrorism. The post concluded with a call for Israel's destruction: "From the river to the sea, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!"
