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.

The rally took place during U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to the city. Protesters referred to President Biden as “Genocide Joe.”
Rami Ibrahim, who goes by the nickname "Son of Palestine," spoke [00:10:20] at the rally, where he glorified [00:13:29] Hamas. Other speakers accused Israel of murdering children and perpetrating “genocidal attacks.”
Another speaker led rally-goers in the pro-terror chant: "Resistance is justified when people are occupied!" and in the call for Israel’s destruction: “From The River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!” Speakers urged people to “shut down” the United States “until Palestine is free.”
