ABHORRENT: Terrorist Sympathizers in Philadelphia Celebrate Fallen U.S. Soldiers, Back Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran While Torch­ing American Flags — “For Every U.S. soldier Who Returns Home in a Casket, We Cheer!”

Crowd gathered at a city square for a protest, featuring individuals holding banners and wearing masks, with skyscrapers in the background.

A mob of masked terrorist sympathizers descended on City Hall Wednesday evening for a so-called “Hands Off Iran” rally and proceeded to cheer the deaths of U.S. soldiers, openly praise Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and set American flags on fire while waving Palestinian and Iranian flags.

This wasn’t some fringe gathering hidden in the shadows. This was brazen, in-your-face anti-American extremism happening in broad daylight in a major U.S. city.

Video footage captured by independent journalist Frank Scales of Surge Philly shows the crowd erupting in cheers as a speaker in a bright red hoodie said:

“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every U.S. military base that crumbles, and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer!”

The speaker didn’t stop there. He went full-throated in support of America’s deadliest enemies:

“Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah [the Houthis], and all the resistance forces – we celebrate these popular forces on the ground. They spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity. Do you hate America? May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.”

More on the Daily Mail:

Scales told the Daily Mail on Thursday: ‘The protesters were advocating for the destruction of the United States of America.’

‘The speaker exposed what has always been true about these protesters,’ Scales added. ‘They aren’t concerned with human rights. Their goal is to tear down the West and the United States of America.’

He claimed that he heard ‘many chants about how US soldiers should be killed and the United States should be destroyed.’

‘But not one about the thousands of Iranians killed by the Islamic regime,’ Scales told the Daily Mail.

Other demonstrators were also covered up in similar attire, carrying flags with inscriptions in Arabic and signs saying ‘Amerika is the head of the snake’ and ‘Right to resist, right to return.’

In a follow-up post, Scales claimed the demonstration included members of groups such as Indivisible Philadelphia, Brandywine Peace Community, the Prayers for Peace Alliance and CODEPINK.

This is the same crowd that has spent years defending the October 7th butchers of Hamas and now celebrates Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Even Democrat Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman condemned the vile display.
