Two members of an activist group funded by Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation have been accused of posting anti-Israel rhetoric online \u2013 with one slamming the US for ‘being silent as Palestinians are murdered’.<\/p>\n
Executive director of Gen Z for Change, Elise Joshi, has been posting footage of ‘Free Palestine’ rallies outside the White House and top US universities on social media.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old also published a statement on behalf of the non-profit, which takes aim at Israel following the horrific terror attacks that have seen more than 1,000 killed and 10,000 injured.<\/p>\n
She has also been circulating statements by former Labour leader in the UK, Jeremy Corbyn, who was suspended after a damning anti-Semitism report.<\/p>\n
On October 13, she reposted a comment by Corbyn that said: ‘We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza. Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.<\/p>\n

‘To start and end with condemning Hamas only fuels the widely recognized apartheid state. My family was jailed for fighting against the British in India. I stand with Palestine and all anti-colonial movements.’<\/p>\n
In a video posted to her TikTok she also accused the US of being ‘silent as Palestinians are murdered, forcibly removed from their homes and denied basic human rights.’<\/p>\n
Founder of Gen Z for Change, Aidan Kohn-Murphy, 19, also took aim at Congressman Jared Moskowitz, for ‘calling for murder of innocent people’.<\/p>\n
Kohn-Murphy, who is Jewish, was asked why he had ‘nothing to stay’ on the Hamas attack. Responding on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: ‘I’m Jewish and have been targeted in anti-Semitic hate for years.<\/p>\n
‘I started my platform talking about antisemitism!! I made a vid on TikTok talking about Hamas recently.’<\/p>\n
The video, posted on October 14, takes aim at Israel’s response to the surprise attack by Hamas, and attacked members of congress for their statements on the Middle Eastern war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Duke and Duchess appeared in a video for the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund (RTYPF), with their foundation being on the RTYPF Advisory Committee<\/p>\n
He said: ‘In America you have democratic leaders calling for the killing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians as a response to Hamas violence.’<\/p>\n
Kohn-Murphy also referred to a letter signed by 34 student groups at Harvard that blamed Israel for Hamas’ massacre of Jewish people as a ‘pro-Palestinian letter’ \u2013 saying the response has been ‘unacceptable and terrifying.’<\/p>\n
‘If this is terrifying for me I can only imagine how terrifying this must be for people in Gaza,’ he added. ‘And for Palestinian advocates and activists across the world.’<\/p>\n
‘I am Jewish and I have been incredibly troubled by video and pictures that we’ve seen form certain allies where extremists are advocating for the mass murder of Jews and that is not acceptable.<\/p>\n
He went on: ‘We are seeing before our eyes war crimes that Israel is committing against Palestine and that must be addressed and called out.’<\/p>\n
The letter referred to by Kohn-Murphy sparked international outrage, and caused tensions to rise at the Ivy League college.<\/p>\n
Many groups have since retracted their support for the statement, which said: ‘We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.’<\/p>\n
