Endorsing Anti-American Violence

In a Fourth of July post, the pro-Hamas and pro-PFLP Dream Defenders (DD) glorified anti-American violence.

The first slide says that the holiday celebrates when a “white nationalist state was born” and that DD pledges to “recommit to struggling towards the end of this empire.”

The other slides in the post justify anti-American violence. One ridicules Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolence. It grossly mischaracterizes his activism as premised on the foolish belief that oppressors’ hearts will change if they see minorities suffering more.

DD condemns the U.S. for essentially being the greatest horror the world has ever known, accusing the U.S. of never having done anything positive for “our people.” It casts the country as “the enemy of freedom struggles all over the world” and even blames the U.S. for the bloodshed and despair of “our people” in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.

Rather than celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, DD said it would instead celebrate themselves and their self-proclaimed “genius”:

If we celebrate anything today, it is the genius of our people’s resistance. We celebrate our people’s dreams of, and organizing towards, self-determination. We celebrate all people’s refusal to participate in the death cult that is American patriotism—a death cult that has never done anything good for our people, and that never will.

DD has at least a dozen chapters, including its Fight Political Action Committee, and has an Instagram following of over 93,000 and another 86,000 on X. It operates through the fiscal sponsorship of Tides Advocacy and its education fund operates through Tides Center.

The post inciting anti-American violence and denouncing American patriotism as a “death cult” was liked by at least 18 organizations (see the Appendix). The most significant include:

• Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which has 3.4 million followers on Instagram.
• Women’s March, which has 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
• Slow Factory, a group that identifies itself as a climate and human rights organization and has an Instagram following of 833,000.
• Seeding Sovereignty, a “direct action” group with 419,000 Instagram followers.
• Black Women Radicals (192,000 Instagram followers).
• New Economy Coalition, a coalition of over 150 groups that has expressed support for Hamas’s violence that has 43,000 Instagram followers.
• Ahmad Abuznaid, a co-founder and former senior official of DD who is now the executive director of S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights. U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights lists 329 organizations in its coalition and has 84,000 Instagram followers. Abuznaid has a history of speaking positively about the PFLP Marxist-Leninist terrorists backed by Iran. He also arranged trips for anti-Israel activists to meet with associates of PFLP and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group when he was a DD leader.
• Code Pink’s South Florida chapter. Code Pink justified Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks.

Natives Should Replicate Palestinian “Struggle”

The pro-Hamas International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network’s Fourth of July post has art glorifying Palestinian terrorists armed with rifles and explosives above the words, “The Fourth of July is a Celebration of Genocide: End Settler Colonialism Everywhere.”

It writes:

Anti-colonialism is central to anti-Zionism. On this day—a celebration of so-called American independence—we decry all forms of colonialism past and present, including the ongoing settler colonial project that is the United States…

…We follow Palestinian and Native anti-colonial struggles to declare—from Turtle Island to Palestine, RIGHT OF RETURN IS LAND BACK.

By equating the U.S. and Israel as oppressors and Palestinians and Native Americans as freedom fighters engaged in “anti-colonial struggle,” IJAZN is essentially saying that Palestinian terrorism against Israel is honorable and, therefore, so would be indigenous terrorism against the United States.

The slides, each with the images of the violent terrorists at the top, state:

As anti-Zionists, many of whom are in North America, we not only resist and condemn the United States’ role as a partner in the genocide of Palestinians: we condemn the United States itself…

…As we reject the normalization of the Zionist entity, we also reject the inevitability of the U.S. nation-state as a permanent, naturalized feature of our world. Empires fall. And they are falling…

…As we assert our proud, unwavering anti-colonial commitment to the people of Palestine, we declare our solidarity with colonized and oppressed people within and beyond what is currently the United States…

Right of Return is Land Back. Free Palestine. Land Back. Abolition Now. From Congo to Sudan, Tigray to West Papua, Kanaky to Kashmir…may all of our resistance tug at the seams of the bloody world order as we build it anew.” (emphasis original)

This virulently anti-American post calling for the violent destruction of the U.S. and recreating of the world is liked by about 20 other groups (see the Appendix) including the Atlanta Multifaith Coalition for Palestine and two anti-Israel LGBT groups, Queers for Palestine Los Angeles and Queers Undermining Israeli Terror.

U.S. (Like Israel) Has No Right to Exist

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) published a holiday post for its 1.3 million Instagram followers and approximately 85 chapters nationwide that is aimed at delegitimizing the U.S.

It argued that the U.S.’s right to exist is as meritless as Israel’s, a country that JVP believes and hopes is in the process of a collapse that leads it to “disintegrate” and be buried forever.

Part of the post reads:

This July 4th, we contemplate parallels between the colonization of Turtle Island (“North America”) and Palestine:

Genocide. Land theft. Ethnic cleansing. Environmental destruction. Forced displacement of people from their homes, and sequestration into isolated areas with (artificially) scarce resources. Criminalization and surveillance. Colonial control over lives, and denial of self-determination and sovereignty. Erasure of native history and culture. Ideologies (Manifest Destiny, Zionism) of entitlement to, and justification for, these atrocities…

…As @ndncollective writes, although Palestinians and people indigenous to Turtle Island ‘come from different nations and geographies, the struggles against settler colonialism are the same… because settler colonists share playbooks,” and “zionism, white supremacy, and imperialism… act as one to oppress and eliminate us.”

The concluding text is particularly dangerous and radicalizing because it upholds Palestinian right to “fight and organize” against Israel as a model for pro-indigenous confrontation with the United States:

[B]oth groups of native people are working toward a similar vision of liberation. In @ndncollective’s words: “Just as we fight and organize to reclaim land on Turtle Island, our Palestinian relatives fight and organize to return the land and for the land to return to the people.”

JVP would probably deny that its words are a rallying call for violence and sedition, but these words are not typos. The text leaves no wiggle room for JVP to credibly deny that it is making the moral case for violence and militant revolution.

The last slide in the post is a map of the continent showing where Native American tribes resided so JVP’s readers can “find out whose land your on.”

In other words, see what JVP and its comrades hope the mythical Native American “Turtle Island will be restored from the ashes of the U.S. once it is forced to end its “colonization.”

JVP’s anti-American post of the Fourth of July was liked by over 30 organizations (see the Appendix).

Some of the most significant ones are the Native American NDN Collective (176,000 Instagram followers), the Marxism-oriented Fight for a Future (245,000 followers), the Los Angeles chapter of Queers for Palestine, the Marxist-Leninist/communist and pro-Hamas Workers World Party, the Detroit chapter of the extremist Jericho Movement, and the New Leaf Smoke Shop in Washington, DC—where the Black Panthers were headquartered. It currently has 6,000 followers but says it used to have 30,000 before they were hacked.
