Masar Badil, or Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, is a pro-Palestinian international movement founded in 2021. Its political program centers on armed resistance and the liberation of historic Palestine. It places the Palestinian struggle inside a wider anti-colonial and anti-imperialist framework. From the beginning, Masar Badil has also sought relationships with far-left, student, labor, indigenous, and other movements it views as confronting the same international system.
The organization has substantial overlap with U.S.-sanctioned organizations and individuals through leadership, coordinated messaging, and calls for support. Its closest partnership is with Samidoun, which Masar Badil considers a “fundamental pillar” of its movement. The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Samidoun in 2024 for acting on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Masar Badil’s Executive Committee includes Khaled Barakat, Jaldia Abubakra, and Mohammed Khatib, all of whom have been sanctioned by Treasury.
Masar Badil positions itself as an organizer and facilitator for a broader ecosystem of affiliated Palestinian and anti-colonial organizations. It formed its own youth and student network, Tariq El-Tahrir, and it collaborates with a range of other organizations including Nidal, Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER-UW), Al-Ahrar and Alkarama. These relationships include joint events, political education, campaigns, and coordinated public messaging.
Masar Badil uses its social media accounts and online platforms to publicly endorse terrorist organizations and attacks. Its platforms have hosted senior Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi officials, in addition to memorializing deceased terrorists.
Masar Badil’s calls for action have become more explicit since October 7 and again during the 2026 regional conflict. Alongside recurring calls for demonstrations, boycotts, conference participation, and political pressure, the movement has called for “direct action,” “all forms of active struggle,” strikes, blockades, civil disobedience, and structures capable of sustaining confrontation over time. The shift reflects a move beyond symbolic solidarity toward more disruptive and sustained mobilization.
