In the Pacific Northwest, anti-Israel activists are reportedly utilizing materials supplied by Hamas, a US-designated terrorist organization, to commemorate the "Al-Aqsa Flood Month of Action."
This event is named after a horrific terrorist operation that occurred on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the brutal murder, rape, and torture of over 1,200 civilians, along with the abduction of more than 250 individuals. Among the hostages, 101, including Americans, remain in captivity.
According to The Post Millennial, a website established by pro-Hamas factions, including students at the University of Washington and various radical groups such as Marxists and Socialists, has outlined plans to "honor the sacrifices of our heroic martyrs and uplift the victory of Al-Aqsa Flood." The website promotes a series of "events, teach-ins, marches" leading up to a mass mobilization on October 13, aimed at demonstrating to the ruling elites that the Pacific Northwest stands in solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance. The website also features a calendar for activists to schedule events.
The Hamas Media Office has reportedly provided marketing material templates for these events, featuring images of the terrorists involved in the October 7 operation. In a narrative crafted by the same office, the terrorists justified the rape, torture, kidnapping, and murder of civilians during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as "a defensive act in the frame of getting rid of the Israeli occupation, reclaiming the Palestinian rights and on the way for liberation and independence like all peoples around the world did."
The narrative further described the October 7 atrocities as "a necessary step" and "a normal response" to "confront all Israeli conspiracies against the Palestinian people and their cause." The narrative is riddled with false claims, including the assertion that the operation only "targeted the Israeli military sites," and the kidnapping of elderly, women, and children was to "pressure the Israeli authorities to release thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli jails through a prisoners exchange."
Despite the terrorists live-streaming the massacre, the narrative falsely claimed that "Avoiding harm to civilians, especially children, women, and elderly people is a religious and moral commitment by all the Al-Qassam Brigades fighters," and any harm to civilians was accidental. The narrative also falsely claimed that the video footage showing the atrocities, including rapes, torture, and murder, was fabricated.
The narrative featured images of Palestinian terrorists from October 7, while falsely asserting that "the Palestinian resistance was fully disciplined and committed to the Islamic values during the operation" and "Palestinian fighters only targeted the occupation soldiers and those who carried weapons against our people."
Despite holding hostages for nearly a year, the group falsely claimed that "from the earliest days of the aggression" they have sought to release the prisoners. The narrative also attempted to portray the brutal Hamas terrorist group, responsible for thousands of deaths, as a humanitarian organization and falsely claimed that "Arab and Islamic environment was across history a safe haven to the Jewish people," despite Jews being exiled from every Arab country in 1948.
The narrative concludes with a Hamas logo and images of the para-gliders used by Palestinian terrorists on October 7 in the invasion of civilian communities and the Nova Music Festival in Israel. The Hamas "reading list" includes quotes from other terrorists, including Che Guevara, Marxists, and Socialists, and other anti-western radicals.
In the Pacific Northwest, Hamas supporters have caused significant disruption, shutting down roads, bridges, and freeways, targeting government buildings and synagogues, and even illegally occupying the University of Washington. These actions have been met with minimal response from local elected officials, raising concerns about the growing influence of such radical groups in the region.
