Prahlad Iyengar

Prahlad Iyengar participated in eight anti-Israel events in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2024, including speaking at an event in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The profilee's activism occurred during Israel’s war against Hamas, which Israel launched after the October 7, 2023, terror attacks when Hamas murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped hundreds.

As of May 2025, Prahlad Iyengar’s LinkedIn profile said he was studying for a PhD in electrical, electronics and communications engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), slated to graduate in 2028.

Organizers: BCFP, PYM

Location: Cambridge City Hall, Cambridge, MA

Event Flyer: Instagram

Marchers at the rally carried signs produced by the organizers that said: "RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED WHEN PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED!"


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.

The event was in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. The outcome of the movement's goals would result in Israel's destruction. Within hours of the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, the BDS movement renewed its call for an anti-Israel boycott.
