Nakba 77 Rally in Philadelphia

A major anti-Israel rally titled “Nakba 77” is scheduled for Sunday, May 18 at 4:00 PM at City Hall in Philadelphia, marking the 77th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel.

Event Overview

Organizers are framing this rally as a commemoration of “77 years of genocide” and “apartheid,” deliberately promoting false and inflammatory narratives against Israel. Their messaging accuses the U.S. and Israel of global crimes and ties domestic campaigns—like attacks on weapons manufacturers and Sister Cities partnerships—into an anti-Israel agenda.

This event will attempt to fuel resentment and hostility not just toward Israel, but toward American institutions and alliances. Protesters aim to use emotionally charged propaganda to radicalize attendees and disrupt public order in downtown Philadelphia.

Organizers’ Background

The rally is organized by local activist groups with a history of vilifying Israel, justifying political violence, and falsely equating democratic self-defense with colonialism. These groups regularly collaborate with extremist movements under the banner of “intersectional struggle.”
