On October 13, 2023, anti-Israel activist groups held a pro-terror rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where protesters called for Israel’s destruction as they marched through the streets. Various PSL signs handed out to protesters promoted terrorism, using the euphemism “RESISTANCE.”
Among Palestinians and anti-Israel activists, the term “resistance” is a euphemism for nationalistic terror and is used to glorify and encourage anti-Israel and anti-Semitic violence.
