5- Idolizing a Domestic Terrorist
On August 24, 2021, Walsh tweeted: “ Just finished ‘Assata,’ political refugee Assata Shakur's autobiography. This is the best book I've read all summer…”
Shakur, when she was a member of the Black Liberation Army (BLA), was convicted of killing a New Jersey State trooper and wounding another in 1973. She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba in 1984, where she resides today. She is listed on the FBI Most Wanted Terror List under her legal name, Joanne Deborah Chesimard.
Also on August 24, 2021, Walsh tweeted in the same thread: “As someone going through my own journey of political radicalization and developing my theory of change, it is inspiring to read Assata's narrative of how she learned to reject the racist, anti-communist, and nationalist propaganda she was taught by school/the media…”
On December 27, 2021, Walsh tweeted: “excited to share my latest in @TeenVogue!!i wanted to write about the books that changed my worldview this year. as assata said, ‘nobody is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them’; reading on your own is a great place to start.”
Walsh shared a link to Walsh’s Teen Vogue article, where Walsh promoted Assata Shakur’s autobiography as “useful for a young person still developing their own ideology.”

6- Promoting a Terrorist Organization
On March 21, 2022, Walsh tweeted an image of a 1969 poster by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) that showed a masked man holding a rifle.
The text said: “HE IS NOT A TERRORIST. HE IS A FREEDOM FIGHTER. THE POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF PALESTINE.”
The U.S. State Department has listed the PFLP as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) since 1997, given its history of attacks against civilians, airplane hijackings and suicide bombings.
Also on March 21, 2022, Walsh tweeted an image of a 1977 PFLP poster celebrating the PFLP’s 10th anniversary. Text on the poster said: “The revolution continues for the liberation of man and land.”
On March 30, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “our real enemy is not Israel and Zionism only, it is American Imperialism, who is backing Israel because Israel is a bodyguard for American imperialist interests. — George Habash, founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.”
George Habash, who has been called “the godfather of Middle East terrorism,” was the founder of the terrorist organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
On April 12, 2022, Walsh tweeted an image of a PFLP poster and wrote: “PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) poster in Arabic, English, and Russian. Unity of the working class organizations guarantees the continuation of the revolution. Circa 1987.”

7- Justifying Violence
On March 21, 2022, Walsh tweeted in support of a violent protest in January 2022, where activists smashed windows and vandalized the London factory of Elbit Systems, an Israeli-owned arms manufacturer.
Walsh’s tweet said: “for anyone wondering about the strategy and efficacy of more militant, high-risk protests within the imperial core, i recommend this @intifada podcast interviewing @Pal_action activists who successfully shut down an Israeli arms factory in the UK [United Kingdom]…”
On April 18, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “...There is no ‘peaceful solution’ under military occupation. One can’t claim to want to see Palestine liberated if one doesnt support Palestinians’ actually means of liberation.”
Walsh retweeted a July 2, 2022 tweet that included a video of Kwame Ture who was asked [00:02:10]: “How far would you go with violence to bring about the revolution?” Carmichael responded [00:02:16]: “All the way, all the way…whatever’s necessary.”
Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) was a black militant leader known for coining the phrase: “The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist.” Carmichael has spread various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish control of government and media.

8- Promoting an Anti-Semitic Campaign
In June 2022, Walsh showed support multiple times for the Mapping Project campaign that targeted Jewish and pro-Israel institutions in Massachusetts, including schools, synagogues and businesses.
Also that month, Walsh wrote [slide 11] on Instagram that Walsh created BDS Boston graphics in support of the Mapping Project.
On June 3, 2022, BDS Boston began promoting the Mapping Project when the campaign was launched. The campaign’s website said that it wanted to reveal “local institutions responsible for the colonization of Palestine or other harms such as policing, US imperialism, and displacement…so we can dismantle them.”
The Mapping Project website said: “The primary role of police is to maintain colonial and capitalist power relationships through violence and coercion.” The website also said: “We view US police on all levels as white-supremacist, colonial institutions that have no role in our communities; we support non-cooperation, community self-defense, and resistance in all its forms.”
The Mapping Project received condemnation from Massachusetts lawmakers, national publications and local Jewish leaders. In June 2022, 37 Members of Congress called for a federal investigation on the Mapping Project potentially being used as “a roadmap for violent attacks” by BDS supporters and “extremist organizations,” both foreign and domestic. The letter said that the FBI was “already tracking” the website.
On June 7, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “BDS Boston, a small local volunteer-run organization, is doing such good work fighting Zionism that the literal apartheid state government, the ‘Israel’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs put out a statement condemning our work. A true badge of honor!”
Walsh’s tweet was in response to a tweet that day by an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman who said: “Israel strongly condemns BDS Boston’s publication of a map of local Jews and its blaming them for anything and everything wrong in Greater Boston.”
On the June 8, 2022, Walsh tweeted that the institutions targeted in the Mapping Project were “entities that are complicit in *actual* racist, imperialist violence & genocide.”
On June 15, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “Thank you @AJArabic for your solidarity with the Mapping Project & the BDS Movement in the US!! I did not work/collaborate on the Mapping Project, I have just been supporting since its launch .”
Walsh’s tweet also included a video interview of Walsh on Al Jazeera (AJ) Arabic (AJ Arabic), where Walsh accused [00:01:27] Israel of “killing with impunity, killing children and journalists…”
On June 17, 2022, Walsh shared [slide 11] on Instagram a BDS Boston post promoting the Mapping Project and wrote: “more graphics by me .”

9- Demonizing Israel
On June 5, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “How can people understand and support a boycott of the apartheid settler colonial state of South Africa but not a boycott of the apartheid settler colonial state of Israel? The cognitive dissonance!!”
On April 15, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “...It is not the ‘israeli-Palestinian conflict’ it is an illegal Zionist occupation. These are not two-sided ‘clashes’ they are the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They are not ‘israeli civilians’ they are settlers.”
On April 14, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “‘[Al-Aqsa Mosque] has been a major flashpoint for Israeli-Palestinian violence for decades.’ You mean the occupation soldiers have repeatedly invaded, attacked hundreds of Palestinians, prevented them from worshipping, and desecrated the 3rd holiest site in Islam?”
The allegation that Jews “threaten” to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque has been a pretext for Arab attacks on Jews long before the existence of the modern Jewish state. Such propaganda has led to multiple periods of violence against Israeli civilians.

10- Demonizing Zionism
On June 10, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “...defending Zionism is defending and actively advancing the genocide and apartheid of Palestine.”
Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture.
On February 8, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “...defending your friends for their zionism should be understood as an act of defending racism and settler colonialism.”

11- Anti-Israel Activism
On June 8, 2022, Walsh wrote an article in Mondoweiss where Walsh described how earlier that month, Walsh organized a “Boston Palestine Solidarity Concert” that was hosted by BDS Boston and at least two local SJP chapters.
On June 3, 2022, the day of the concert Walsh organized, Walsh tweeted a photo from the event and wrote: “...WE RAISED $6k FOR GAZA MUTUAL AID… FREE PALESTINE! LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA!!”
Since the early 2000s, the term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” has carried the connotation of violence.
On May 24, 2021, Walsh spoke [02:36:20] at a Cambridge City Council (CCC) meeting in support of Policy Order #109 (POR #109). The order, as originally worded, would have prohibited Cambridge from contracting with any company “whose products are used to perpetuate violations of International Human Rights Laws and Cambridge’s policy on discrimination.”
At the meeting, Walsh said [02:36:38]: “I first want to dispel the notion that one has to be a foreign policy expert or a scholar on the Middle East to understand that Israel is an illegal apartheid state. I am 16 and this fact is clear to me and it should be to the City Council too.”
The Order as originally proposed failed to pass. On May 25, 2021, the CCC adopted an amended Policy Order, which recognized Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.
On December 15, 2021, Walsh wrote a Mondoweiss article about Walsh’s co-management of a “national public pressure” campaign against U.S. Senator Ed Markey in May 2021 during Israel’s Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW).
In May 2021, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists fired over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at major population centers in Israel. Israel responded by launching OGW, carrying out targeted military strikes in Gaza.
In Walsh’s Mondoweiss article, Walsh said the campaign was in response to a series of May 11, 2021 tweets where Markey strongly criticized Israel, but also said Israel had “the right to defend itself from indiscriminate rocket attacks.” Walsh wrote that Markey’s statements represented an “abhorrent support of Israel.”
Walsh’s article also said that Walsh co-authored and signed an a letter by “former staff, fellows, volunteers, donors, supporters, and endorsing organizations of Senator Ed Markey’s 2020 re-election campaign.” The letter condemned Markey for his support of Israel.

12- Supporting BDS
On June 18, 2022, Walsh posted [slide 50] to Instagram a screenshot of an AJ Arabic post that quoted Walsh as saying: “laws are neither principles nor morals. I do not care if boycotting Israel is a criminal act, especially since the indigineous rights movement in America were criminalized and the liberation movement from Apartheid in South Africa were once criminal.”
On June 12, 2022, Walsh tweeted: “...Today our protestors shut down PUMA, and they’ll do it again until PUMA ends their support for the apartheid Israeli football team.”
On the same day, Walsh shared a BDS Boston tweet that included a video from a June 11, 2022 protest outside of PUMA’s flagship store in Somerville, MA. The protest was in opposition to PUMA’s sponsorship of the Israeli Football Association (IFA).
On June 8, 2022, Walsh wrote a Mondoweiss article titled: “The Real ‘Big Thief’ is Israel: Musical solidarity with Palestine.” Walsh’s article condemned the American band Big Thief for its decision to perform in Israel, saying that it “exemplifies violent complicity, whitewashed with liberal Zionism.”
