Anti-Israel activists gathered Sunday in Philadelphia in a rally organized by the Philly Palestine Coalition to proclaim their support for the Saturday terrorist attack on Israel, stating that they were “proud” to see Hamas slaughter Israeli civilians.

Around 220 people participated in the so-called “emergency solidarity rally” in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square where speakers proclaimed, “All of us here, standing today, are proud of what has occurred yesterday.”

According to its organizers, Hamas’ actions were “justified,” because “when people are occupied, resistance is justified.”

[Gaza hasn’t been occupied in 18 years. It’s been ‘contained,’ not occupied, and the last few days have proven the necessity of that strategy while Hamas controls Gaza. Those days are hopefully coming to a close. — Ed]
