Peter Feld openly celebrated Hamas’s October 7, 2023 terror attacks and later attended a New York rally supporting the atrocities. By framing mass murder and kidnappings as “victory” and “resistance,” Feld promoted extremist propaganda that glorified terrorism and normalized antisemitic violence.
Celebrating the Hamas Attacks
October 7, 2023: On the day of the Hamas massacre, Feld posted to Facebook a photo celebrating the attacks. In the comments, he wrote:
“…an expensive victory but a victory. All significant zionist concessions have only come in response to armed resistance. Analysts are saying this reshapes the Middle East and likely derails Biden’s push for Saudi-zionist normalization. That alone is huge. This is like the Tet offensive. Victory to the Vietcong!”
His statement glorified Hamas’s slaughter of 1,200 Israelis — including torture, rape, kidnappings, and beheadings — by comparing it to the Vietcong’s violent insurgency.
Attending a Rally in Support of Terrorism
October 8, 2023: Feld was identified at the “All Out For Palestine” rally in New York City, held one day after Hamas’s atrocities. Wearing a black cap, black shirt, and grey jacket, Feld was filmed chanting “Free Free Palestine!” in support of the massacre.
The rally, co-hosted by Al-Awda and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), featured explicit celebration of Hamas terrorism. Protesters stomped on and burned Israeli flags, justified hostage-taking, and called for Israel’s violent destruction.

Enabling Extremism
By celebrating the October 7 atrocities and participating in rallies that glorified terrorism, Peter Feld aligned himself with antisemitic movements that excuse war crimes under the banner of “resistance.” His actions directly tied him to the normalization of Hamas violence on U.S. soil.
