Fourth of July celebrations across America disrupted by Pro-Palestine protests

In Philidelphia, an “All Out for Gaza” rally attracted hundreds of protesters. Several people were arrested yesterday evening, after the march  escalated into clashes with police.

Philadelphia’s protest was organised to challenge the “hypocrisy” behind Independence Day. The Philidephia Palestine Coaltion (PPC) called on protesters to “rally for resistance” and “support Palestine not Amerikkka,” which merges America with KKK – the Klu Klux Klan. “We don’t celebrate the legacy of genocide, colonialism, and slavery that July 4th symbolizes but struggle for true liberation for all,” the post continued.

The PPC has previously been criticised for organising “antisemitic campaigns”. The Jewish Federation of Greater Philidelphia condemned the PPC for their boycott of “Zionist” owned business, which “serves to intimidate, isolate, and scapegoat Israeli and Jewish businesses”. The PPC has also been accused of showing support for Hamas and the October 7 attacks.
