American Activist Leads Anti-America, Anti-Israel Chants in Tehran

An American anti-Israel activist stunned the world earlier this month by leading chants of “Death to America! Death to Israel!” during a rally in Tehran and the silence from Democratic leadership has been deafening.

Calla Walsh, a 21-year-old communist agitator from Boston and self-proclaimed “organizer” for Palestine Action USA, took the stage at an Iranian “martyr’s ceremony” on July 20 and proudly stood alongside America’s enemies. After praising Iran’s regime and “indigenously produced drones and missiles,” she capped her speech with a full-throated chant in Farsi calling for the death of her own country.

“Glory to the Axis of Resistance. May we see victory within our lifetime,” she added, before unleashing the now-infamous slogan.

The event was hosted by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting a state-controlled propaganda machine and was part of a broader campaign to glorify terrorists under the guise of “honoring martyrs.”

Walsh was one of 15 so-called journalists invited to the event, a fact that should alarm every American. But what’s more disturbing is her background and her open support from prominent progressives:

• She was promoted by NPR as a “good citizen.”

• The New York Times hailed her as a rising star in Democratic politics.

• She has been followed on social media by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Let that sink in: an American who traveled to Iran, praised its regime, and called for the destruction of the United States and Israel is still being platformed by the very same institutions that claim to care about democracy.

This is the same Calla Walsh who:

• Spent 60 days in jail for vandalizing the Elbit Systems facility in New York, targeting an Israeli defense company.

• Faces fresh charges for a similar attack in Massachusetts.

• Abandoned the Democratic Socialists of America for not being radical enough, calling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “genocidaire.”

• Organized for Sen. Ed Markey’s campaign to build a cult-like digital following among far-left youth.

And now, she calls America “the Great Satan” and glorifies those who build drones to kill Israeli civilians.

This isn’t just fringe behavior. It’s the logical conclusion of years of unchecked anti-Americanism within the far-left wing of the Democratic Party. While Republicans fight to defend our values, the left empowers radicals who desecrate them.

What’s worse, legacy media has gone completely silent. No outrage. No retractions. No questions about how someone like Walsh went from being praised by The New York Times to being welcomed in Tehran as a foreign ally of a terrorist regime.

Let’s call this what it is: sedition cloaked in activism, cheered by our enemies, and ignored by the very institutions that should be condemning it.

The fact that a young, American-born activist can call for the death of her country while standing on foreign soil and still be promoted as a model citizen by the American media and academia should terrify every patriotic American.
