Arizona-based Palestinian-American activist Saiaf Abdallah publicly endorsed violence and voiced support for the Hamas terrorist organization in a radio interview, later sharing footage of himself handling a handgun.
In a September 18, 2025 interview on Business to Business on 960 Patriot KKNT Intelligent Talk Radio with host Rex Perry, Abdallah said Palestinians would rather die fighting than “die on their knees” for Jewish Israelis. When asked whether he seeks peace, he replied that he wants “liberation, not peace,” asserting that armed resistance is the only answer.
When Perry pointed out that Hamas had diverted international aid to build terror tunnels in Gaza, Abdallah responded approvingly, saying: “Good, and that’s right. That’s our tunnels, and we have a right to build it.” He added that many Palestinians support Hamas, accused the host of cowardice and supremacism, and abruptly ended the interview with the declaration: “Free Palestine and glory to the resistance.”
The video, posted by Texas for Palestine on YouTube, was recorded by Abdallah himself. It was followed by additional footage showing him going to a Scottsdale police station to retrieve a handgun and a Palestinian flag, and later handling and inspecting the firearm.
