Several radical U.S.-based anti-Israel organizations have called on supporters to mobilize in defense of Iran following joint U.S.-Israeli military action against the Islamic Republic. Some groups moved beyond protest, openly celebrating Iranian missile strikes on American military targets.
The statements, issued over the weekend, framed the conflict as a struggle against “Zionist” and “imperialist” aggression, and encouraged disruption and direct action across campuses and cities.
Samidoun Urges Global ‘Direct Actions’
The Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network condemned the U.S. and Israel, and demanded “the broadest mobilizations everywhere to not only protest but to shut down the war machine with action.”
“We urge all to mobilize emergency demonstrations in cities, communities, and campuses around the world, especially in the imperial core; to take direct actions; and to shut down the business-as-usual of the imperialist/Zionist war machine,” the group wrote.
Samidoun’s statement explicitly called for disruption of what it characterized as Western military infrastructure.
National SJP Mobilizes Campuses
National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) also instructed its chapters to organize in support of Iran. The group called on activists to “defend Iran’s sovereignty and break the Zionist war machine.” In its statement, the organization described itself as “the leading anti-imperialist force on campus.”
“We have a duty to halt the war machine and defend the sovereignty of a country which US Zionist forces seek to dismantle in the interest of subduing our cause,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, the SJP chapter at the University of Chicago drew sharp criticism after celebrating an Iranian missile strike that hit a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain.
Iran launched missiles and drones that struck near the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, killing a Bahraini civilian and injuring others. The base had been largely evacuated, and no American servicemembers were harmed.

NYC Coalition Expresses Solidarity With IRGC
A coalition of self-described “black and brown-led NYC community organizations” issued a joint statement expressing solidarity with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the broader “resistance axis.”
The coalition praised what it called “immediate and intense strikes” against “Zionist forces and settlers, American soldiers and their bases in the region, and the treacherous Arab reactionary regimes that have aligned themselves with the Epstein Empire.”
Signatories included the Bronx Anti-War Coalition and Crown Heights Bites Back. The statement urged “people of conscience” to move beyond “symbolic solidarity” and to “disrupt the war machine by any means necessary.” The language amounted to open alignment with an Iranian military force and endorsement of attacks on American soldiers.
White Supremacist Group Amplifies Antisemitic Conspiracies
The extremist Aryan Freedom Network also responded to the outbreak of the war. The group called on “all White Nationalists in America to start preparing and organizing” and blamed Jews for what it described as the collapse of the “America First agenda.” It also claimed that “MAGA has been controlled by Jewish Satanic pedophiles” and urged followers to “resist this Zionist system,” reviving antisemitic tropes that depict Jews as demonic and morally depraved — a modern echo of longstanding libels portraying Jews as predatory threats.
Far-left anti-Israel activists and an openly white supremacist organization converged around strikingly similar narratives, portraying Jews as a concealed force behind war, corruption, and societal decline.
These statements went further than political dissent. They celebrated missile strikes on U.S. targets, aligned publicly with Iran’s IRGC, and called for disruption of American institutions “by any means necessary.”
The convergence of these themes, echoed by both radical activist networks and an openly white supremacist organization, underscores how antisemitic myths continue to migrate across ideological lines. Whether framed as secret Jewish control over governments or as demonic corruption at the heart of political power, the narratives are strikingly consistent.
That hostility no longer stops at Israel. Groups across the spectrum are explicitly endorsing attacks on American personnel and institutions in the name of resisting “Zionism,” revealing a shared animus toward Israel and, increasingly, the United States itself.
