Palestine Action, a group that was recently banned in the UK, has published an online “Target Map.” The map includes names and addresses in the US and Canada of both businesses and private residences, along with sensitive information, alleging ties to Israeli firms. This is not only a reckless tool, but one that aids and enables dangerous acts on Jews everywhere.
NY Post When does activism become terrorism? The answer is the moment you publish a target map with civilian names and addresses and reconnaissance guidance. That is not protest. That is operational planning. The fact that this is being normalized under the banner of activism is one of the most dangerous developments in the current antisemitism landscape. Words lead to maps. Maps lead to actions. We know how this ends. We have seen it before. The Jewish community needs to be paying attention to Palestine Action right now.

As pro-Hamas and anti-Israel protests continue to erupt at college campuses across the nation, a new poll found that more than one in five college students support Hamas in the conflict, nearly as many as those who side with Israel.
The five boroughs also saw a 214% surge in anti-Jewish incidents last month as Israel pounded the densely populated Gaza Strip with airstrikes in retaliation for Hamas’ sneak attack on Oct. 7, which killed 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians.
The death toll in the disputed region had surpassed 11,000, according to Hamas officials, who don’t differentiate between civilians and terrorists.
The group, which boasts 121,000 followers on Instagram, did not specify why the locations should be targeted, or what kind of action should be taken, but New York lawmakers have denounced the map, insisting violence is implied. “Intifada” is Arabic for a rebellion or uprising.
US Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) of the Bronx warned on X Thursday that the messaging was an example of “Coded calls for violence against Jews” that are “proliferating on social media.”
City Hall spokesperson said the NYPD is deploying “resources to protect public safety” at the locations listed on the map. Meanwhile, Within Our Lifetime also hosted a “peaceful rally” in Washington Square Park to “demand an end to the current genocide and to call out universities who are complicit in it.”
The park is in the shadow of New York University, which was sued on Tuesday by three Jewish students for allegedly creating an atmosphere of “pervasive antisemitic hatred, discrimination, harassment and intimidation.”
On Wednesday night, the group promoted an “emergency protest” outside CUNY School of Law in Long Island City, Queens. As pro-Hamas and anti-Israel protests continue to erupt at college campuses across the nation, a new poll found that more than one in five college students support Hamas in the conflict, nearly as many as those who side with Israel.
