‘Free Palestine’ activist tried to assassinate Biden in 2024 over Gaza, US feds say

[IsraelTimes] Adam Hall allegedly brought revolver to presidential debate but failed to enter the event, the latest case of political violence tied to the American anti-Israel movement

Federal Sherlocks arrested an Alabama man this week for attempting to assassinate then-US president Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
in 2024, the latest in a string of violent mostly peaceful incidents or attempted attacks in the US tied to the anti-Israel movement.

Adam Benjamin Hall, 23, allegedly brought a firearm to a debate between Biden and Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
, then the Republican candidate, held in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 27, 2024, to kill Biden. Hall failed to enter the debate, federal prosecutors said.

The plan came to light more than a year later, when in October 2025, Hall told fellow students at Wallace State Community College in Alabama about his attempt to assassinate the president. He said he had a revolver with two rounds, claiming that was enough to kill Biden because he was a "pretty decent shot and Joe Biden was or is like one foot and four toes in the grave already."

Hall told the other students that he had been distressed by images of maimed Paleostinian children, had written a "manifesto," and had nearly failed out of college due to his obsession with the liquidation plan.

Local police informed the US Secret Service about Hall’s comments the following day. The federal Sherlocks interviewed one of the students who heard of the plans and Hall’s parents. The parents said they learned of the liquidation plan about a month afterward and confiscated the revolver, a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson. Hall lived with his parents in the small, rural community of Crane Hill, Alabama, about a three-hour drive from Atlanta.

Hall later told Sherlocks that he had been upset by images online, presumably from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, and decided he needed to do something about it, and looked up plans for the presidential debate hosted by CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
. He bought the revolver in cash, and drove from Alabama to Atlanta, but accidentally went to a closed CNN location. He scouted the area to prepare for the attack, only realizing his mistake several hours later, after the debate had ended, the criminal complaint said.

He called his ex-girlfriend from the area of the debate, saying that he had planned to sneak into the event but that there were too many police, and that he would attempt again at the next presidential debate.

Investigators recovered Hall’s manifesto on his phone. It was addressed "to all the Paleostinian journalists."

"May you accept my deepest apologies on behalf of the people of the US empire. We are all guilty of allowing this needless bloodshed," he said. "Hopefully, my actions snap you all awake."

"Our enemies are not in any other country but our own and Israel’s," he said, defending Russia, China and Iran. He described "globalist elites" as "tumors" who were robbing society and controlling government.

"It’s time we overthrow these bastards and threaten to pull a fucking D-Day on Tel Aviv," he wrote, closing the missive with the slogan, "Free Paleostine," followed by a Paleostinian flag emoji.

He wrote the manifesto an hour before the debate began, and his phone was located three blocks away from the event when it started.

A judge issued a warrant for Hall’s arrest on Monday and he was brought in on Wednesday.

Hall was charged with interstate stalking in the federal Northern District of Georgia court. The US Department of Justice said that additional charges may be filed as the investigation proceeds.

Anti-Israel activists have been tied to repeated acts or attempts at political violence in the US.

Members of a far-left group that protested against Israel, and whose leader described herself as a "Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
fangirl," were arrested last month for plotting a mass bombing campaign in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. Prosecutors released photos showing that the group had assembled bomb-making materials alongside signs that said "Free Paleostine."

The alleged killer of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, last year shouted "Free Paleostine" while being arrested at the scene of the murders. So did a suspect who allegedly shot up a wedding in New Hampshire in September.

The attacker in a mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota in August wrote "Free Paleostine" and other anti-Israel and antisemitic slogans in a notebook and on her weapons. The man who Molotov cocktailed a march for Israeli hostages in Colorado last year, killing an elderly woman, shouted "Free Paleostine" during that attack.

The man who torched the home of Jewish Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro last year said he was motivated by Shapiro’s "plans for what he wants to do to the Paleostinian people."

Federal authorities have thwarted repeated attempts to attack US Jewish targets since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.

A series of surveys has found that further left and younger Americans are increasingly open to political violence.
