‘Destroy the Idea of America’: Shocking Rhetoric at Pro-Palestine Conference
“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads, in everybody’s heads in this country.”
The People’s Conference for Palestine, held in Troy, Michigan, this past weekend, was billed as a grassroots gathering of Palestinian activists and their allies. But behind the carefully packaged language of “liberation,” the rhetoric captured in multiple clips from the conference reveals an alarming mix of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism—messaging that seeks to delegitimize the United States itself while demonizing Israel and its supporters.
The clips, shared by Twitter/X user @thestustustudio (Stu Smith), expose the raw language used by speakers across multiple sessions.
One speaker called for direct campaigns against the United States and allied governments, boasting about pressure tactics against Egypt and urging confrontation against America in the wake of the Trump administration:
🚨 Mohammed Nabulsi: “We must choose targets that have to respond.”
At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Houston-based PYM organizer Mohammed Nabulsi argued that hitting targets like embassies — where a response is guaranteed — can energize and mobilize the movement.

“It’s empowering people to actually transform what we’re able to do, whether it’s speaking out, whether it’s organizing as ourselves, whether it’s carrying out campaigns, into tangible, strategic targets that have to respond to us… What the one thing that I say repression does? It makes you feel alienated and isolated. The only thing that allows you to overcome that is community and organization and strength, and that’s what we need to do.”
Another speaker explicitly tied the Palestinian movement to American political symbols—demanding that their rallies use the U.S. flag while simultaneously denouncing American leadership and praising fringe voices:
🚨 Crickets for America. Cheers for Hamas.

“Do not let the Israelis and the Zionists in this country to have a monopoly over the American flag… It should always be present in our rallies and activities, because we do not do this work alone. We do not hate this country. We love this country. We hate the genocide of health, whether it’s the guys who were in the last administration who owned this mess or the current administration… The ones who are making the most sense right now are Tucker Carlson and Congresswoman from Georgia, and we have to appeal to a broader coalition.”
One of the most chilling moments came when a speaker openly described the United States as locked in a “double suicide pact” with Israel:
🚨 Hasan Piker at the People’s Conference for Palestine: “Maintain revolutionary optimism… continue to agitate.”

“You must always continue to organize. You must always continue to agitate because the quicker we can create enough insurmountable pressure that causes the American state to recalculate its double suicide pact with Israel, the quicker we can save as many Palestinian lives as possible.”
Other rhetoric was more explicitly anti-American, calling for dismantling the very idea of the country itself:
If there’s one soundbite that I hope becomes synonymous with the People’s Conference for Palestine — beyond all the Hamas mentions — it’s this:

“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads, in everybody’s heads in this country.”
And in another panel, the United States and Israel were equated as indistinguishable “empires,” with calls to erase American exceptionalism from the minds of citizens:

“The average American will never understand the plight of the Palestinian person, because the state of Israel is a carbon copy of the United States, and therefore the thing to do is to destroy the idea of America in American [minds] so that they can see the humanity of everybody outside of the warping of American exceptionalism and imperialism and all these evil things.”
According to the official program, the conference was convened by a coalition of groups including the Palestinian Youth Movement, U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, ANSWER Coalition, and National Students for Justice in Palestine.
But as these speeches show, what’s being promoted is not just “solidarity with Gaza”—it’s a deliberate campaign to delegitimize both Israel and America, while spreading rhetoric that normalizes anti-Semitism under the guise of “resistance.”

Great post, Ben — thank you for covering the subversive machinations and agitations of these vile, goose-stepping, subversive and genocidal Islamofascists/Muslim supremacists.
The idea of America is the Constitution, ultimately rules about how we treat each other. You can sketch a cartoon of the prophet and it’s nobody’s business to punish, for example.
Are you dreaming? Draw a picture of the prophet and you won’t be punished? Hollywood is a living example of never having anything to do with a role or depiction of him because they would be murdered. Every country where someone has done so has been murdered. We c
Are you dreaming? Draw a picture of the prophet and you won’t be punished? Hollywood is a living example of never having anything to do with a role or depiction of him because they would be murdered. Every country where someone has done so has been murdered. We can draw Jesus in any insulting position known to man but not one single nice picture of Muhammad.
Yes, that is the idea of America. Draw as many pictures of Mohammed as you like, and you can’t be punished. Crime is not punishment; and the government’s mandate is to prevent as much crime as it can without violating people’s rights.
rhhardin didn’t say that you wouldn’t be punished, he said that it’s nobody’s business to punish you and he is correct. You will be under threat of punishment, though.
Hasan Piker is a nasty Hamasnik who does livestreams on Twitch. He openly supports Hamas and the Houthis and Iran, pushes antisemitic and anti-American garbage, and is treated like royalty by the platform. He was suspended once for supporting violence (afaicr), but it was a one-day suspension that fell on his usual day off.
He attacks people who are the least to the right of Stalin, and is currently involved in a legal feud with a guy who used to be a friend, but became an enemy when it was revealed he supported the right of Israel to exist.
Twitch is owned by Amazon and the CEO of Amazon is Jewish. His parents must be so proud that he is platforming an outspoken antisemite.
Immigration status of everyone at that conference needs to be checked. If not an American they need to be unceremoniously chucked out of the country and banned from returning. If American the government needs to withdrawal all funds they night receive. Their organizations needs to be infiltrated, investigated, and prosecuted at the slightest irregularity, If they support any terrorist organization or raise money for them they need to be eliminated if possible.
As for that Piker he is the worst of the so called Young Turks. I’d love to have 1 minute alone in a room with him with no consequences for anything that happens.
Take hold of these people and deport them to someplace awful. No trial for sedition or anything. We have enough here already that want to destroy America. They are called ‘progressive Democrats’.
Fucking George Bush should be forced to live with the religion of peace assholes he brought to this country along with every politician and media personality that supported bringing them from anywhere. They are all toxic to western values and always have been,
Tucker should be so proud, he’s been working hard for this acknowledgment!
9/11 should have taught us a valuable lesson about Islam.
Apparently, it hasn’t and we will doubtless be victims once again.
Islam is utterly incompatible with western values and it should not be permitted to try.
mIchigan imported terrorists and now exports it to the rest of america
Back when I was in college, some group calling itself The Minutemen sent little notices to some of us on campus telling us ‘you have a target on your back!’ with the illustration of some generic male’s back with the cross-hairs of a gunsight superimposed.
I wonder where these brave patriotic souls are now?
C’mon now, Mohammed Nabulsi is just another solid blue voter.
It’s only a small thing but, can we repeal Hart-Celler now? And, maybe bring back the Chinese Exclusion Act?
I don’t understand the headline. Who is shocked by this?
These anti-Americans have no right to be in America. Return them to where they came from. We should fight for America and dump these losers back in the Middle Ages.
The EU has surrendered to the “migrants” and the “migrants” have their sights on the US. they’ve gained a foothold in Michigan and Minnesota and will expand from there. You won’t find any left wing radical democrat socialists attempting to stop them.
And Canada.
The problem the Palestinian mouthpieces are trying (successfully in some quarters, unfortunately) to rewrite is how many of us noticed how Hamas wasn’t concerned about the “humanity” of the peace partiers and the families they executed.
We bring these scun into our country at our own peril. Your kids may never get a chance at freedom again if they continue to be allowed here.
What is shocking about pro-Palestinians saying “Death to America'” or words to that effect? Their side has been saying the quiet part out loud for generations now.
The so-called “Palestinians” will never be at peace with Christianity or Judaism.
If these anti-American subversives want to call for our destruction, we should deport them, and once they’re in Gaza, give them the carpet bombing they deserve.
“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads, in everybody’s heads in this country.”
He’s saying this in that very country. Call the bouncers.
FOLKS! I got it. When Mr. Ross’s friend Henry said it, it hit me:
“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads…” — full stop, and edit, for the answer:
“We have to destroy our heads.”
A typical, decent quality, FMJ, anti-American head destruction pill, purchased in sufficient quantity to destroy 500 to 1,000 anti-American heads at one to two pills per, can be had for as little as 25.5 cents each, in my recent experience. I will be happy to donate $255 worth. I’ll even loan a delivery vehicle.
Who’s with me?
Well, ok, but literally no one is shocked by this.
