State Sen. Julia Salazar’s staffers effusively praised Hamas in the hours and days after the group’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack, which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead.
Hamas devastated two communities near the border with the Gaza Strip and massacred hundreds of people at a music festival, with reports of mass rapes, children beheaded and babies found cooked in ovens.
“By any means necessary,” wrote Salazar’s policy and communications director, Sarah Campbell, on day X of the massacre.
Sarah Campbell refused to condemn Hamas after the massacre.X @srh_cmpbll Sarah Campbell tweeted that she did not condemn Hamas. State Senator Julia Salazar’s Director of Policy and Communications, Sarah Campbell, has openly praised Hamas on Twitter.
“After how many decades of violent occupation is armed resistance justified?” he wrote on October 12. “I do not condemn Hamas, I condemn Israel. Who has reigned with more terror: Hamas throughout its existence or Israel in just the last 30 days? Which group has massacred the most civilians? Millions displaced? Hospitals bombed? Premature babies murdered? Starve an entire town?
Campbell’s X account is private, but The Post was able to obtain screenshots of the posts.
Salazar’s chief of staff, Isabel Anreus, “liked” an Oct. 7 post on X that said, “The things happening in Palestine really make me happy.”

While Salazar, a democratic socialist, has aligned herself with Hamas supporters and called for a ceasefire, she has sought to publicly suppress the left’s most extreme rhetoric.
“Some on the left…wrongly minimize or willfully ignore the horrific crimes of Hamas militants against Israeli civilians,” he chided in an op-ed for Jacobin, a socialist magazine.
Both Campbell and Anreus told The Post that their tweets were personal opinions and did not reflect the views of Senator Salazar.
