On December 10, 2023, multiple anti-Israel activist groups held a pro-Hamas [00:07:35] protest in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Participants joined in chants that called [00:00:01] for Israel’s destruction and showed [00:00:52] support for terror, using the euphemism “resistance.”
Susan Abulhawa, one of the speakers, promoted [00:09:18] hatred of America and the crowd shouted in support. She later called [00:15:07] for civil unrest and was met with multiple cheers: “This is class war and we are coming for them! Do not stop taking to the streets! Find ways to block commerce! Find ways to block this imperial, consuming, polluting, killing machine! And be prepared to take risks! Be prepared to get arrested and if you’re not prepared to do that, give money to the organizations who support those who are willing to risk it!”
