Two members of an activist group funded by Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation have been accused of posting anti-Israel rhetoric online – with one condemning the US for ‘being silent while Palestinians are being killed’.
Gen Z for Change Executive Director Elise Joshi has posted images of “Free Palestine” rallies outside the White House and top US universities on social media.
The 21-year-old also released a statement on behalf of the non-profit organization, which focuses on Israel following the horrific terror attacks that left more than 1,000 dead and 10,000 injured.
She has also released statements from Britain’s former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was suspended following a damning anti-Semitism report.
On October 13, she posted another comment from Corbyn that said: “We may be witnessing the total destruction of Gaza. Political leaders who refuse to speak out should be eternally ashamed of the horrors they allow to unfold.

“Those of us who believe in peace cannot remain silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a joint statement through Archewell condemning the acts of terrorism following the Hamas attack on October 7.
It said: ‘At The Archewell Foundation, we, together with Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, stand against all acts of terrorism and brutality.
“We support our partners and organizations on the front lines in Israel to provide the urgent assistance needed and to help all innocent victims of this unconscionable level of human suffering.”

“Beginning and ending with condemning Hamas only fuels the widely recognized apartheid state. My family was imprisoned for fighting the British in India. I stand with Palestine and all anti-colonial movements.’
In a video on her TikTok, she also accused the US of being “silent while Palestinians are murdered, forcibly removed from their homes and denied basic human rights.”
Gen Z for Change founder Aidan Kohn-Murphy, 19, also targeted Congressman Jared Moskowitz for “calling for the murder of innocent people.”
Kohn-Murphy, who is Jewish, was asked why he had “nothing to stop the Hamas attack.” On X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: “I am Jewish and have been the target of anti-Semitic hatred for years.
‘I started my platform talking about anti-Semitism!! I recently made a video on TikTok talking about Hamas.”
The video, posted on October 14, focuses on Israel’s response to Hamas’ surprise attack, attacking members of Congress for their statements on the war in the Middle East.

He said: ‘In America you have democratic leaders calling for the killing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in response to Hamas violence.’
Kohn-Murphy also referred to a letter signed by 34 student groups at Harvard blaming Israel for the mass murder of Jewish people by Hamas as a “pro-Palestinian letter,” saying the response was “unacceptable and terrifying.” .
“If this is terrifying to me, I can only imagine how terrifying this must be to the people of Gaza,” he added. “And for Palestinian advocates and activists around the world.”
“I am Jewish and I am incredibly bothered by videos and photos that we have seen from certain allies in which extremists advocate the mass murder of Jews and that is not acceptable.
He continued: “We see before our eyes the war crimes that Israel is committing against Palestine and they must be addressed and exposed.”
The letter Kohn-Murphy referred to sparked international outrage and increased tensions at the Ivy League college.
Many groups have since withdrawn their support for the statement, which read: “We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime fully responsible for all the unfolding violence.”
In a video on her TikTok, she also accused the US of “keeping quiet while Palestinians are murdered, forcibly removed from their homes and denied basic human rights.”
