Activists on Big Apple college campuses<\/a> are among those in the US who are peddling propaganda directly from Hamas that \u201cencourage[s] acts of violence against Jews,\u201d a terrifying new study has found<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cProtestors and activists are not merely praising the activity of terror groups; they are actively sharing their official propaganda, disseminating communiqu\u00e9s, videos, and other materials directly onto mainstream platforms,\u201d wrote the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism in its study titled, \u201cDigital Couriers: How U.S. Anti-Israel Activists Amplify Terror Propaganda on Mainstream Platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

The distribution of such hate on Telegram and other social-media platforms, including X and Instagram, since the Palestinian terror group Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel<\/a> \u201cshows the increased normalization of rhetoric and messaging from terror organizations that overtly encourage acts of violence against Israel and Jewish people,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

The Unity of Fields activist group posted a Hamas propaganda poster on Telegram on Oct. 7, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shared material, which openly praises violent actions and actors, comes at a time of heightened danger for Jews worldwide with increased incidents of deadly antisemitic attacks,\u201d researchers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Jews specifically have been navigating an unprecedentedly high threat landscape, marked by record levels of antisemitic incidents across the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n

The terrorists\u2019 propaganda is picked up from the official channels and platforms of the deadly hate groups and translated into English and distributed by other pro-Hamas intermediary channels, the study said.<\/p>\n

Resistance News Network<\/a> \u2014 a radical antisemitic, anti-Zionist, English-language Telegram channel with more than 150,000 subscribers and which promotes violence against Israel \u2014 is one of the popular pass-along accounts.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples involving the promotion of terroristic hate, according to the study:<\/p>\n

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition <\/a>disseminated propaganda directly from Hamas in March 2025. It reposted a Hamas poster and a caption added by antisemitic rapper Jonathan Azaziah on Global Resistance News saying, \u201cThe day Israel is wiped off the face of the planet, we will sing, cheer, rejoice and dance the night away.\u201d Azaziah added the hashtags #LongLiveTheFlood and #WeAreAllHamas. The caption appeared in full in the Bronx Anti-War re-post.<\/p>\n

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition also reshared a violent post originally published by Hamas\u2019 military in support of a Houthi missile attack at Israel\u2019s Ben Gurion Airport, which injured several people.<\/p>\n

Anti-Israel activists have disseminated terror materials in person. As reported by The Post<\/a> in March, protesters at Barnard College in Manhattan distributed a document in English written and circulated by Hamas\u2019 \u201cmedia office\u201d explicitly justifying its Oct. 7 attack.<\/p>\n

In July 2024, CUNY\u2019s John Jay College\u2019s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter \u2014 which has nearly 1,000 followers \u2014 shared a post on Instagram with a graphic from Hamas\u2019 Al Qassam Brigades and a message in Arabic translating to, \u201cWe are coming like thunder, making a time of glory.\u201d<\/p>\n

University of Illinois Students for Palestine chapter shared a video on Instagram that showed what appeared to be a Hamas terrorist filming himself from inside the home of an Israeli family during the Oct. 7 attack. The caption read, \u201cUnder the feet of the Mujahideen [those engaging in jihad], on this day,\u201d apparently translating the terrorist\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 7, 2024, the SJP at the University of California at Davis shared a quote from now-deceased Hamas reo Abu Obaida on its Instagram account hailing the attack on Israel the year before. \u201cA year has passed since the most successful and professional commando operation of the modern era,\u201d the message said.<\/p>\n

In order to disrupt the terror propaganda pipeline, ADL said social-media companies must rigorously enforce their existing policies, which often prohibit the sharing of content from federal terror organizations.<\/p>\n

It also urged Congress to pass the Stopping Terrorists Online Presence and Holding Accountable Tech Entities Act, which would push companies to enforce their own policies to disrupt terrorist content on their platforms.<\/p>\n

In addition, the watchdog group called on college officials to enforce campus rules for registered student organizations and faculty groups and clearly spell out when conduct, including distributing terror propaganda, violates campus policies and or state and federal law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore broadly, it is incumbent upon the general public to engage in due diligence when consuming and sharing content online and associating with activist groups and individuals,\u201d the ADL said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Activists on Big Apple college campuses are among those in the US who are peddling propaganda directly from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9381,3862,47928,2397,68,59,60,61,47929,57,9,56,63,65,64,47930,3694,9729,58],"class_list":["post-105659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-anti-defamation-league","tag-antisemitism","tag-barnard-college","tag-cuny","tag-exclusive","tag-hamas","tag-israel","tag-israel-hamas-war","tag-john-jay-college","tag-metro","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-propaganda","tag-terrorism","tag-university-of-california","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
