A worldwide protest campaign targeting Israel arrived in Washington, D.C., late Saturday afternoon as demonstrators, including CodePink activists, joined what organizers called a “coordinated global day of action.” Similar marches and planned disruptions were scheduled around the world.

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, demonstrators carried signs accusing Israel of genocide. Two women holding mock machine guns also flanked a cardboard image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu depicted in handcuffs with a noose around his neck.

A Fox News Digital investigation found that the campaign’s messages, visual materials, tactics and media strategy were prepared before demonstrators gathered. Organizers described their goal as turning public anger into “collective leverage.”

Campaign documents instructed participating organizations to “shut down city squares,” “encircle government buildings,” and “blockade complicit corporate hubs.” One document bluntly declared, “This is not a symbolic march and not a routine protest.”

Fox News Digital identified 179 organizations participating in the coalition. An interactive Google Map published by the network listed 322 events scheduled over three days through Sunday, revealing the broad scope of the coordinated operation.

Listed events included a rally on an “Intifada Trail” in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, a Bangladesh protest involving the “Bangladesh Intifada Youth Collection” and actions in South Africa organized by “Social Intifada.”

The term “intifada” is associated with Palestinian uprisings against Israel, including periods involving deadly terrorist attacks. Activists, however, describe the term as a call for resistance.

Three organizations were identified at the center of the campaign: the Global Alliance for the Palestinian Territories, the Anti Apartheid Movement for Palestine and the Global Coalition to End the Occupation of Palestine. The alliance launched in London in July 2025 as a “truly international popular front for Palestinian liberation.”

CodePink, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is among the participating organizations. It has received $1.33 million from Shanghai-based technology tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who has funneled $278 million into a network of nonprofits under scrutiny by the House Ways and Means Committee and Chairman Rep. Jason Smith.

The committee is examining allegations that some of those organizations operate as “Trojan horses” and proxies for the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign interests. CodePink and other organizations facing scrutiny have denied wrongdoing.

CodePink cofounder Medea Benjamin and D.C. coordinator Olivia DiNucci sent members a letter directing them to join a “Feminist Contingent” at the Library of Congress. CodePink cofounder Jodie Evans, who married Singham in 2017, also marched in New York City as activists chanted, “Long live the intifada.”

Evans told Fox News Digital that Singham supports CodePink’s efforts and the “amazing work” nonprofits are doing to “stand up when violent things are happening.” The network’s participation showed how established organizations were woven into the international campaign.

An August “Launch Statement” outlined plans to synchronize student demonstrations, workplace actions, rallies and civil disobedience across Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The stated objective included returning Israel’s military campaign against Palestinians to the international media agenda.

Organizers prepared campaign posters in English, Arabic, Turkish, Finnish, French, Portuguese and Spanish weeks before the demonstrations. They also supplied street banners and folders of protest designs labeled “HANDHELD PLACARDS” and “STREET DEMANDS.”

One downloadable poster displayed “GAZA GENOCIDE” beside images of barbed wire and watermelon. In Malaysia, demonstrators carried printed versions bearing the words “GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR PALESTINE,” while others displayed “HUMANITY IS NOT A CRIME,” “STOP THE GENOCIDE WAR!” and “LET GAZA LIVE!”

The campaign’s communications strategy relied on repetition, emotional imagery, collective identity and moral urgency. Its “Concept Paper” called Israel’s actions a “war of extermination” and instructed participating organizations to use language that was “disciplined, credible, urgent and impossible to ignore.”

Organizers also called for “high-visibility rallies, marches, picket lines, sit-ins and peaceful blockades” at government offices, civic sites, financial centers and corporate locations. Suggested actions included walkouts, banner drops, nighttime projections, street theater and “die-ins.”

The logistical plan urged organizations to allocate money, arrange transportation and provide legal and participant support. Separate advocacy documents called for letters to lawmakers, meetings with elected representatives, “immediate, total arms embargoes” and “comprehensive state sanctions” against Israel.

The international steering committee included Jeremy Corbyn, Yanis Varoufakis, Gerry Adams, Mustafa Barghouti, Ronnie Kasrils, Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla and Angelo Bonelli.
