“American Dream Is a Scam”

Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, which has 32,000 Instagram followers, libeled American nationalism and the Fourth of July with a post that reads:

In This House We Believe: The American Dream is a Scam. Policing Originates from Runaway Slave Patrols. Capitalism Exploits. Colonialism is Evil. The Founding Fathers Were Racist. American Imperialism Must End. America Was Built on Genocide and Slavery. We Are on Stolen Indigenous Land.

The text in the sidebar states, “In this house we are anti-nationalist. Down with racial capitalism.”

The post was liked by the New York City chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice and the North Jersey chapter of IfNotNow, a Jewish-led anti-Israel group.

Support Terrorists and Tyrants Fighting the United States

The Philly Palestine Coalition held a Fourth of July protest to “rally against the war machine from within!” and “Rally for Resistance! Support Palestine Not Amerikkka!”

The protest is advertised in another post with the authors listed as the Philadelphia chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, Black Lives Matter Philly, Up Against the Occupation, and Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza.

The first slide in the post has artwork of an American flag shape filled with skulls and bombs with text vowing to “free” a long list of countries and territories from the U.S.

The list includes Hawaii and Turtle Island. Their inclusion means that the Philly Palestine Coalition seeks the secession of Hawaii as a U.S. state and an end to the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Central American countries.

Foreign places where the Coalition is rooting for U.S. defeat is Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and obviously Palestine.

That means that the “resistance” the coalition is rallying for is Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, PFLP, Hezbollah, the Iran-allied dictatorship of Bashar Assad in Syria, the theocracy of Iran, the Houthis, the Taliban (which remains joined at the hip with Al-Qaeda), the anti-India terrorists in Kashmir who are backed by Pakistan, and the Haitian criminal gangs.

The two posts are liked by about a dozen other anti-Israel organizations (see the Appendix).

U.S. as a Terrorist Group

Ceasefire Now NJ; Drew University Alumni for Justice in Palestine; NJ District 6 for Palestine; and the South Jersey, Central Jersey and North Jersey chapters of IfNotNow published a post that mocks the Fourth of July by referring to it as a “holiday” in quotes and that showcases their anti-Israel banner drops.

The post declares, “NO CELEBRATION UNTIL PALESTINIAN LIBERATION” and boasts of completing three banner drops, one on July 3 over New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway and two on July 4 in Jersey City. They characterized the activism as actions against “U.S. imperialist terrorism in Palestine and indigenous lands worldwide.”

The initial banner said, “Your Taxes Fund Genocide.” The first banner on the holiday (which technically was two simultaneously dropped banners) said, “15,000 children killed by your taxe$” and “Are you proud to be an American?”

The final Fourth of July banner was more explicitly anti-American. It showed an upside-down American flag with bombs covering its stripes, alongside a quote from Aaron Bushnell, who famously committed suicide via self-immolation outside the Israeli embassy to protest its military campaign in Gaza.

The quote was, “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” The post hails Bushnell for making “the ultimate sacrifice against the US imperialist project in Palestine.”

What it doesn’t mention is that Bushnell, though he served in the U.S. Air Force, was a terrorism-supporting and murder-advocating anarcho-communist extremist with an explicitly genocidal, anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-democratic, anti-police, pro-theft, and anti-military agenda. He was a fan of Hamas, particularly of how it massacred, injured, robbed, traumatized, and kidnapped Israeli civilians at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023.

Bushnell passionately wanted to see Israel violently destroyed. He honored terrorists who killed members of the U.S. military as having engaged in “resistance,” and he wrote that police officers and anyone who works for the Department of Defense deserve to be hated and killed.

He also reacted to someone’s online post expressing pride in their grandfather’s service in the Korean War by telling the person that the North Koreans were the good guys and that his grandfather and his brothers-in-arms were the aggressors and human rights violators.

His proposed solution was to reject democracy and politics and embrace a violent “revolution” in which “the power of the bourgeoisie will dissolve because they made the fatal blunder of profiting off of the working class.”

About a dozen organizations endorsed the post (see the Appendix) including the Newark Solidarity Coalition, Drew University Alumni for Justice in Palestine, the New Jersey chapter of Runners for Justice in Palestine, and SOMA Collective for Palestine—a coalition in South Orange and Maplewood, New Jersey, of SOMA Socialists, SOMA for Palestine, SOMA Green Party, SOMA Families for Ceasefire, and SOMA Jews for Justice.

Pledge to Fight for “Liberation” from U.S.

The pro-Hamas, Chinese Communist government-linked People’s Forum, which played a key role in instigating the seizing of Columbia University buildings by protestors, announced on June 25 that they rejected the Fourth of July by having an anti-Israel, pro-Palestine rally on the holiday.

The groups ridiculed patriotism and characterized the U.S. in a wholly demonized way:

This July 4th, join us on the right side of history! We don’t celebrate the legacy of genocide, colonialism, and slavery that July 4th symbolizes, but struggle for true LIBERATION! Together we can forge a new just future where the US no longer war mongers the world over.

An almost identical post was published on July 3.

The posts are liked by about 50 organizations (see the Appendix), including the pro-Antifa far-left magazine CounterPunch, Labor for Palestine, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, the Jewish anti-Israel group Making Mensches, and Protect Palestine, an initiative of the Altruisa organization.

In the next installment, numerous pro-Hamas condemn the Fourth of July as celebration of a country built on genocide.
