Activists on Big Apple college campuses are among those in the US who are peddling propaganda directly from Hamas that “encourage[s] acts of violence against Jews,” a terrifying new study has found.
“Protestors and activists are not merely praising the activity of terror groups; they are actively sharing their official propaganda, disseminating communiqués, videos, and other materials directly onto mainstream platforms,” wrote the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism in its study titled, “Digital Couriers: How U.S. Anti-Israel Activists Amplify Terror Propaganda on Mainstream Platforms.”
The distribution of such hate on Telegram and other social-media platforms, including X and Instagram, since the Palestinian terror group Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel “shows the increased normalization of rhetoric and messaging from terror organizations that overtly encourage acts of violence against Israel and Jewish people,” the report said.
“This 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,” researchers said.
“American Jews specifically have been navigating an unprecedentedly high threat landscape, marked by record levels of antisemitic incidents across the U.S.”
The terrorists’ 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.
Resistance News Network — a radical antisemitic, anti-Zionist, English-language Telegram channel with more than 150,000 subscribers and which promotes violence against Israel — is one of the popular pass-along accounts.
Here are some examples involving the promotion of terroristic hate, according to the study:
- The Bronx Anti-War Coalitiondisseminated 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, “The day Israel is wiped off the face of the planet, we will sing, cheer, rejoice and dance the night away.” Azaziah added the hashtags #LongLiveTheFlood and #WeAreAllHamas. The caption appeared in full in the Bronx Anti-War re-post.
- The Bronx Anti-War Coalition also reshared a violent post originally published by Hamas’ military in support of a Houthi missile attack at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, which injured several people.
- Anti-Israel activists have disseminated terror materials in person. As reported by The Post in March, protesters at Barnard College in Manhattan distributed a document in English written and circulated by Hamas’ “media office” explicitly justifying its Oct. 7 attack.
- In July 2024, CUNY’s John Jay College’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter — which has nearly 1,000 followers — shared a post on Instagram with a graphic from Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades and a message in Arabic translating to, “We are coming like thunder, making a time of glory.”
- 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, “Under the feet of the Mujahideen [those engaging in jihad], on this day,” apparently translating the terrorist’s remarks.
- 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. “A year has passed since the most successful and professional commando operation of the modern era,” the message said.
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.
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.
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.
“More 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,” the ADL said.
