Lillian House, a self-proclaimed socialist activist and organizer with the radical Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL), has a long and troubling history of endorsing hate-filled rhetoric, promoting extremist ideologies, and supporting actions that foster division and hostility. Her involvement in multiple incidents of incitement, including at Columbia University in 2024, reveals a pattern of unapologetic alignment with antisemitic and extremist causes.
Lillian House’s Rallying for Hate at Columbia University
In April 2024, House spearheaded a rally in support of the pro-Hamas “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” at Columbia University. This encampment, a breeding ground for harassment and violence, became notorious for its displays of hate and calls for harm. House distributed inflammatory signs proclaiming, “Palestine will be free” and “Israel will fall!” At the rally, participants shouted vile chants like “Columbia, you can’t hide! You get rich off genocide!”
Despite clear evidence of harassment targeting Jewish students, House consistently dismissed concerns as “a false narrative.” Her refusal to acknowledge the dangers posed by the encampment underscores her disdain for inclusivity and her active role in perpetuating hostility on campus.
Arrests and Violent Activism
Lillian House’s track record extends far beyond Columbia. She has been arrested multiple times for her involvement in dangerous and inflammatory protests.
- 2024 Arrest: During Israel’s war against Hamas, House was arrested for organizing disruptive anti-Israel demonstrations in New York City. Her participation in these actions amplified antisemitic rhetoric while ignoring the horrific atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists.
- 2020 Arrest: House was charged with attempted first-degree kidnapping during violent protests in Aurora, Colorado. As part of her PSL activism, she led demonstrators in a siege of a police precinct, trapping officers inside for hours and demanding concessions for their release.
Denying Terror and Supporting Violence
House’s extremism is further evidenced by her dismissive remarks regarding Hamas’ October 7, 2023, atrocities, which included mass murders, rapes, and kidnappings. When confronted about these acts during a 2024 Fox News interview, she deflected and refused to condemn the actions of the terrorists. Her continued rhetoric downplayed the suffering of victims while glorifying those responsible for heinous violence.
A Consistent Advocate of Antisemitism
House is a staunch supporter of extremist groups, which seeks to delegitimize and isolate Jews globally under the guise of activism. Her social media posts are riddled with incendiary language, accusing Jews of “mass ethnic cleansing” and glorifying resistance, a euphemism for violent terror. These statements reflect her deeply rooted animosity and her unwavering commitment to spreading hate.
A Menace to Society
Lillian House’s unapologetic embrace of antisemitism, extremism, and support for terrorist-aligned causes positions her as a dangerous provocateur. Her actions and rhetoric serve not only to incite hostility but also to embolden those who seek to perpetuate division and violence. House’s consistent disregard for truth, accountability, and humanity should serve as a stark warning of the harm caused by unchecked extremism.
