EXCLUSIVE: THE CHANTS FOR DEATH have reached the heart of America’s birthplace. A MOB of anti-Israel protesters transformed Philadelphia’s historic Rittenhouse Square into a theater of HATE this weekend, openly glorifying Hamas terrorists and shouting for “intifada” and “martyrdom” as families looked on in HORROR.
In a SHOCKING and UNMISTAKABLE display, the group—calling itself the Philly Palestine Coalition—hung EFFIGIES of Israeli soldiers and praised deceased Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida, with one speaker declaring martyrdom a “commitment.” This isn’t protest; it’s a RAW RECRUITMENT RALLY for violence on American soil.
But now, a BOMBSHELL condemnation has erupted from within the Democrat Party’s OWN ranks. Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street, the chamber’s first elected MUSLIM, delivered a SCATHING rebuke, breaking from the radical left’s silence. “Hamas is a terrorist organization and should be condemned—NOT GLORIFIED,” Street declared, warning that calls for violence are “setting back” peace. This is a DEAFENING indictment of the extremist elements now operating with IMPUNITY in our cities.
The implications are TERRIFYING. This rally occurred just across the river from the University of Pennsylvania, where Governor Josh Shapiro previously confronted rampant antisemitism. With Shapiro’s residence firebombed and synagogues attacked, Street’s warning is a SIREN for our times: this “rising tide of extremism” is NOT a distant threat—it’s HERE, being NORMALIZED in our public squares.
Yet, DANGEROUS divisions fester. While Street spoke out, another Democrat seeking office, State Rep. Chris Rabb, snarled “F— AIPAC,” exposing the POISONOUS faction within the party that enables this hatred. The contrast couldn’t be more STARK: reasonable voices versus those who FAN THE FLAMES of conflict.
As effigies swung and chants for martyrdom echoed where children play, one question HAUNTS the nation: Is this the new face of “activism,” or are we witnessing the DELIBERATE IMPORT of a foreign terror ideology into America’s soul? The silence from so many leaders is a BETRAYAL. The next attack may not be overseas—it could be in YOUR town square, and the chants you hear today are the blueprints for tomorrow’s BLOODSHED.
