On the third anniversary of the brutal Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack, anti-Israel organizations across the United States mobilized for widespread demonstrations, with protesters in New York and California waving Palestinian flags and chanting calls to “long live the intifada.” These rallies, strategically timed to coincide with the anniversary, saw groups like NYU Students for Justice in Palestine staging walkouts and encampments forming at Columbia University, where chants of “globalize the intifada” echoed. Demonstrators also converged on New York City Hall, their presence marked by Palestinian flags and chants. Meanwhile, at UCLA and UC Davis, similar sentiments were expressed, with some celebrating the Oct. 7 attack and referring to it as the “anniversary of the al-Aqsa Flood.” These coordinated events highlight the robust protest infrastructure, often backed by the Singham network and its affiliated nonprofits like The People’s Forum and CodePink, which have consistently fueled anti-Israel demonstrations. Investigations reveal significant funding from the Singham network to these groups, raising questions about their influence and operations, while trauma psychologists criticize these demonstrations for weaponizing the anniversary and detracting from the mourning of Israeli victims.
