Marwan Elazazy
Marwan Elazazy participated in multiple pro-Hamas rallies during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists, launched after the October 7, 2023 terror attacks.
Hamas murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds more that day. For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
Two of the anti-Israel rallies he attended were within eight days of the terror attacks, including one where he held a Palestinian flag that said, "Decolonize Palestine!," a euphemism used in calling for Israel's destruction. Another one of the rallies resulted in protesters shutting down traffic on a major bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
As of December 2024, Marwan Elazazy’s since-deleted LinkedIn profile said he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), studying political science.
As of the same date, Marwan Elazazy’s LinkedIn said he was located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

On October 12, 2023, PPC organized a pro-Hamas march where protesters chanted in support of terrorism and called for Israel’s destruction. As the crowd marched, they chanted: “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!...Resistance is justified when people are occupied!” The marchers later chanted: “Intifada, intifada! Long live the intifada!” They also repeatedly shouted: “There is only one solution! Intifada, revolution!”
Jordan Vaughan, an organizer with PPC, addressed the crowd: “Long live the resistance! And land back by any means necessary!” The crowd cheered in support. The crowd again cheered when Nada Abuasi, another PPC organizer, said that over “the last few days the people of Gaza have broken out and reminded us of our right to resist!” She later promoted hatred of America and then stated: “We will not stand down…until Palestine is free from the River to the Sea!” The crowd cheered again.
