Group of teens appears shockingly misinformed about Hamas in street interview with Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz at pro-Palestine protest in DC – while branding US military ‘the biggest terrorist organization’
A deep dive into the views of protesters demanding a ceasefire in Gaza left viewers shocked after they denied that Hamas were terrorists and called for the expulsion of Israel’s Jewish population.
Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz joined the thousands who marched in DC on Saturday, armed with a camera and a microphone, to discover how much the demonstrators knew about the conflict they were protesting.
Less than a month after Hamas massacred more than 1,400 Israelis near the Gaza border, the rapper was told that they are “freedom fighters” and that “the largest terrorist organization is the military of the United States of America.”
Two young women seemed surprised to learn that the massacre was the greatest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust, and the video left Dillz’s followers in despair at the ignorance he exposed.
“There’s some really creepy commentary in this video,” one wrote.

Hamas is a “political organization” rather than a terrorist group, one protester told him, while another suggested that “the largest terrorist organization is the military of the United States of America.”
“That’s what happens when you pay $200,000 for a college degree but all you do is party and scroll on TikTok or Instagram,” another added.
“Thank you for sharing this – even though it is physically painful to watch,” a third wrote.
More than 100,000 people flocked to the country’s capital as a day of pro-Palestinian protests broke out around the world, resulting in several disturbing anti-Semitic incidents.
According to footage, graffiti reading “death to Israel” and “glory to our martyrs” was sprayed on buildings near the Israeli embassy shared by the embassy on X.
The protests included a controversial chant: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” as a Hezbollah flag flew among the crowds in a show of support for the terrorist organization.
The New Jersey rapper, real name Rami Even-Esh, has a growing fan base for raps that celebrate his Jewish heritage, including one calling for the return of the more than 240 people rounded up by the terror group during its cross-border raid .
His street-wise demeanor and casual questions aroused little suspicion among the two young women who identified themselves as being from Youngstown, Ohio.
When asked whether they agreed with the definition of Hamas as terrorists, they responded that it is a “political organization.”

“Certain countries like Canada, Britain and the US recognize them as terrorist organizations,” she admitted, “but I think one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
“The largest terrorist organization is the military of the United States of America,” her friend chimed in.
“I think we should look at ourselves first before we point the finger at anyone else.”
He asked them what would happen to Israeli Jews if Palestine achieved their ‘freedom’.
“They would use their second citizenship to whatever country they emigrated to and they would go back,” was the chilling response.
When asked what would happen to those who have lived alone in Israel, she emphasized: “They all came from a heritage outside the Middle East.”

And she pushed back on the suggestion that Jews could return to Ethiopia, Libya or Yemen, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Jewish populations of those countries have been almost completely expelled by anti-Semitic governments.
“People don’t educate themselves,” her friend complained.
“They are simply following a rhetoric that runs in a family and is completely immoral and inhumane.
“No one wants to educate themselves and I think if people picked up their phones and typed things into Google, we would have a different society.”
“If only they would take their own advice about educating themselves,” one viewer wrote.
‘How does unlimited access to information lead to unlimited ignorance?’ asked another.
“Those two girls should go live in Yemen to set an example,” a third added.
Protesters at the rally stretched a banner over the White House fence reading “Stop Attacks on Gaza,” prompting the Secret Service to take down the sign, sparking anger among the crowd.
Chants of ‘Allahu akbar’ rang out loudly as the protest marched through the city as red handprints were later left on the walls near the presidential residence.
Before reaching the White House, a huge crowd of protesters filled the streets of DC on a route that passed numerous landmarks near the Capitol.
Footage after the protesters moved through showed a number of historic scenes, including the desecration of the statue of American Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette with graffiti and Palestinian flags.
“Biden, we will remember in November,” one of the signs on the statue read.
Young people are on the front lines of America’s culture war over the Gaza conflict, and Israeli President Isaac Herzog sent a letter Tuesday to the presidents of 700 American universities and colleges, calling for action against rising anti-Semitism on their campuses.
“Each of the institutions of higher education can and must take the lead in the fight against the scourge of anti-Semitism,” Herzog wrote in his open letter.
A survey of about 1,400 U.S. adults for dailymail.com this week found that most Americans agree with Herzog that U.S. schools were not doing enough.
