Anti-Israel activists tied to the global intifada movement are pushing their way into today’s nationwide “No Kings” demonstrations, even as a fragile ceasefire holds in Gaza after months of conflict. These groups, fresh off campus occupations and street blockades, now aim to fuse their demands with broader attacks on the Trump administration, turning what organizers bill as pro-democracy rallies into platforms for anti-Israel rhetoric.
In New York City, the “Palestine Labor Solidarity Contingent” from UAW Labor for Palestine and NYC Labor for Palestine plans to gather at Duarte Square before merging with the main protest. “STOP ARMING ISRAEL! FUND OUR COMMUNITIES, NOT GENOCIDE & OCCUPATION! END ICE, MILITARY & POLICE TERROR…HANDS OF VENEZUELA!” their call to action reads.
Similar contingents are forming coast to coast, from Providence’s “Free Palestine Contingent” marching “FROM PROVIDENCE TO PALESTINE” to “FIGHT FASCISM! FIGHT GENOCIDE” to Seattle’s “Seattle Against War,” which sees the event as a “great opportunity for us to support the demands of Palestinians from the belly of the beast!”
This infiltration comes just days after President Trump announced a peace agreement between Israel and Gaza militants, a deal that included hostage releases and aid commitments but left many wondering about its staying power amid ongoing accusations of body withholding by Hamas. Yet the radicals show no sign of easing up.
“The fight for a liberated Palestine is not over and cannot be ignored,” declare Bay Area Labor 4 Palestine and Service Employees International Union Local 1021, urging participants to bring Palestinian flags, signs, and keffiyehs to Oakland’s march.
Behind the scenes, a web of tax-exempt nonprofits and unions fuels these efforts, with annual revenues topping $2.9 billion. Many trace back to billionaire George Soros, whose Open Society Foundations have pumped millions into groups like Indivisible, a key “No Kings” organizer. Indivisible’s co-founders, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, received a $3 million grant for “social welfare activities,” but critics see it as a smokescreen for partisan agitation. Other Soros-backed entities, including those under scrutiny for funneling cash to anti-Israel causes, help orchestrate the chaos, raising alarms about foreign influences meddling in American streets to stoke division and weaken alliances like the U.S.-Israel bond.
These aren’t isolated incidents. At a June “No Kings” event in Philadelphia, a “Palestinian Contingent” from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Democratic Socialists of America booed the national anthem with cries of “Booooo! Boooooo!” while branding bystanders “Zionist!”
In Portland, a Palestinian American activist insists, “The Nakba Is Still Not Over!” and calls to “SHOW UP FOR PALESTINE.” Such tactics echo the global intifada’s playbook, where protests serve as cover for deeper agendas, possibly orchestrated by elite donors aiming to erode national sovereignty and push socialist overhauls.
Republican leaders aren’t buying the charitable facade. House Speaker Mike Johnson dubs the rallies a “hate America rally,” while Sen. Ted Cruz vows the administration will counter this “network of left-wing violence.” Sen. Chuck Grassley has launched a probe into the funding streams, and President Trump has ordered the Justice Department to explore RICO violations against these operations. As one analyst puts it, “They are using every excuse in the book, from immigration to Israel, to rage-bait America. There is nothing ‘charitable’ about their professional protest enterprise.”
With antifa elements reportedly slipping in and Democratic PACs like Hollywood Democrats and College Democrats of America listed as partners, the “No Kings” machine looks more like a coordinated assault on law and order. Even with Gaza’s guns quiet for now, these billionaire-backed forces seem determined to import unrest home, betting on turmoil to advance their vision of a remade world.
