At a Philadelphia protest against the presidential debate between Kamal Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, 2024, protesters waved Hamas and PFLP flags, held a banner stating: "Amerika is the head of the snake," and chanted, "Yahya Sinwar, you make us proud!" Protesters continued to laud Hamas's Izz Al-din Al-Qassam Brigades and the Lion's Den. They added: "Resistance is justified, when people are occupied." The protest's MC led the crowd in a chant: "U.S. imperialist – number one terrorist!" Participants chanted that Vice President Kamala Harris is a "war criminal," and called for "Intifada, revolution," while making a triangle finger gesture indicating support for the Palestinian armed struggle.
