On October 7, 2023, Peter Feld posted on Facebook celebrating Hamas’s violent attacks on innocent Israeli civilians. Referring to the massacre, he described it as an “expensive victory but a victory,” likened it to the Tet Offensive, and praised its potential to derail U.S.-mediated Israeli-Saudi normalization talks. His remarks were widely condemned for justifying war crimes and glorifying violence against civilians.
Peter Feld Participated in Pro-Hamas Rally
The day after Hamas attacks, Feld participated in a Times Square rally titled “All Out for Palestine,” organized by groups such as Al-Awda and American Muslims for Palestine. At the rally, participants burned Israeli flags, mocked counterprotesters, and celebrated acts of terrorism. Feld was seen chanting violent slogans, aligning himself with a demonstration that endorsed violence and extremism.
Professional Background and Influence
As of November 2023, Feld was the political director at The Insurrection and director of research since 2016. His professional background includes editorial roles and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from UC Berkeley. His advocacy and public statements conflict with his professional standing, raising questions about the ethical implications of his actions and rhetoric.
Connection to Terrorism Support
Feld’s public statements and rally participation are a tacit support for Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization responsible for mass atrocities against Jews. His alignment with such events and comments made by him undermine efforts for peaceful resolution, instead presenting a violent rhetoric.
