I wish I had noticed that this was happening Sunday afternoon, I might have gone to get some photos and videos. This guy got some, though
An “All Out for Palestine” rally taking place now at Moore Square in downtown Raleigh to protest U.S. military aid to Israel.
Most common chants:
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

You know what that means, right? That is the call for the eradication of Israel. WRAL failed to mention this. ABC11 failed, as well. CBS17 did not have an article about it at the time of writing. The Raleigh News and Observer did mention this, but, forgot something
Fury and frustration about the Israel-Gaza war were displayed in downtown Raleigh Sunday as around 400 pro-Palestinian supporters gathered on the Moore Square lawn to denounce Israel’s bombing and siege of Gaza.
Between chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” speakers called for an end to the bombings, which began after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7. (snip)
Protesters hoisted Palestinian flags and signs — some of which more broadly called for a free Palestine and several with more pointed messages that equated Israel’s actions in Gaza to the crimes committed against Jews during World War II.
Yeah, they forgot to mention what that actually means
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” is a common call-to-arms for pro-Palestinian activists. It calls for the establishment of a State of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing the State of Israel and its people. It is also a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathizers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to Hamas, which called for Israel’s destruction in its original governing charter in 1988 and was responsible for the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israeli civilians, murdering over 1,000 people in the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
It was coined by the State Department designated terror organization Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1964. Vienna banned a Palestinian demonstration the other day over the use of the phrase on flyers and such, because they know what it means. The slogan has been chanted during many of the protests by people supporting a terrorist group who murdered women and children over the last week, and many were quite clear what they meant.
And lots of people wearing Intifada keffiyehs, a sign of violence against Jews.
Meanwhile
(CBS News) Threats in the U.S. have been rising, since Hamas invaded Israel a week ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray and FBI officials said Sunday in a rare phone briefing for reporters.
“The threat is very much ongoing and in fact, the threat picture continues to evolve,” Wray said. “Here in the U.S., we cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to call on their supporters to conduct attacks on our own soil.”
Good thing our border is locked down and we didn’t invite lots and lots of Islamists from extremist nations to live in the U.S., right?
