Keffiyehs, ‘Intifada’ Cries, and Firebombs: Palestinian Symbols, Violent Chants Mark Anti-ICE Riots Nationwide
by Joshua Klein 13 Jun 2025
Demonstrators in Los Angeles and other major cities waved Palestinian flags and chanted for an “intifada” as protests over ICE raids spiraled into organized violence and ideological unrest.
Violent protests that erupted in response to federal immigration raids across Los Angeles last weekend have taken on a distinctly radical tone, with footage showing rioters not only targeting law enforcement but openly invoking militant Palestinian rhetoric and terrorist imagery.
While the initial trigger was a wave of ICE arrests across residential and commercial areas, the unrest quickly shifted into something broader. In several confrontations downtown, masked individuals draped in keffiyehs and hoisting Palestinian banners led aggressive actions — igniting vehicles, hurling improvised explosives, and clashing with riot police.
