Apple Restricts Access to Pro-Terror Group Unity of Fields’ Telegram Channel
Apple has removed the pro-terror, anti-American group Unity of Fields from Telegram on its devices — a move that follows repeated reports of the group inciting violence and glorifying attacks
Apple has revoked access to the Telegram channel of Unity of Fields, a radical pro-terror, anti-American group, for users on Apple devices. On Tuesday, June 3, Apple issued a formal notice to Telegram requesting that the channel, which had more than 10,000 subscribers, be made inaccessible to users of Telegram's iOS and macOS apps downloaded via the App Store. As a result, anyone using Telegram through Apple’s platforms can no longer access the group’s content.
The group remains visible through alternative means, including the web version of Telegram, Android apps, and Telegram’s direct desktop download. Apple’s move follows repeated reports of Unity of Fields promoting terrorism, inciting violence against police, glorifying attacks on civilians, and disseminating militant propaganda.
“Escalate for Gaza”: The Digital Zine Celebrating Violence in the U.S.
Unity of Fields distributed a digital zine featuring the manifesto of Elias Rodriguez, the suspect accused of fatally shooting two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC on May 21, 2025. The publication was titled “escalate for Gaza, bring the war home” and included imagery of an AK-47, while framing the murders as acts of solidarity with Palestinians. The group described the attack as “the rightful execution of two nazi pigs” and called Rodriguez a figure of “courage” and “resistance.” They even designed and promoted stickers with his face and slogans, urging followers to distribute them as a way to spread and inspire further violence. Additionally, Unity of Fields promoted a crowdfunding campaign for Elias Rodriguez, underscoring their willingness to provide not just ideological, but financial support for individuals who carry out acts of antisemitic violence.
“Set Them on Fire”: Targeting Police with Violent Language
The group has repeatedly encouraged violence against law enforcement. In a now-deleted post from May 9, following a protest at the University of Washington, Unity of Fields wrote, “If the pigs are advancing on your barricades, push them back by any means necessary… Instead of lighting the barricades on fire, why not aim a little further?” The post used bacon emojis as a crude reference to burning police officers. The protest itself involved setting dumpster fires to block police from entering campus buildings, tactics that the group praised as necessary resistance.
Promoting a Vigil for Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah
In February 2025, Unity of Fields helped promote a controversial vigil in Washington Square Park to honor Hassan Nasrallah, the former leader of the U.S.-designated terror group Hezbollah. Unity of Fields’ messaging around the event included posts that referred to the U.S. as “the Fourth Reich” and openly called for the destruction of America, marking a clear pattern of violent and anti-American rhetoric.
Rebranding into Militant Propaganda
Unity of Fields underwent a significant shift in August 2024 when it changed its name from Palestine Action US and announced a new strategic focus on what it called “militant propaganda.” Moving away from conventional protest methods, the group declared its intent to serve as a direct-action front targeting what it described as the “US-NATO-Zionist axis.” Since the rebrand, Unity of Fields has claimed credit for multiple provocative acts, including smearing dog feces at the entrance of AIPAC’s Washington office, releasing cockroaches and worms in shops they accused of supporting Israel, and splashing Columbia University’s Alma Mater statue with red paint. These stunts reflect the group's effort to merge shock tactics with ideological messaging aimed at provoking confrontation and spreading their cause.
Tech Platforms’ Handling of Pro-Terror Extremism
Unity of Fields continues to push violent, pro-terror messaging while trying to maintain a foothold on alternative platforms. Apple’s restriction signals a growing unwillingness among tech companies to tolerate extremist content masquerading as activism. In January, the U.S. State Department designated the neo-Nazi Terrorgram Collective and several of its leaders as global terrorists for using Telegram to promote violence.
