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.
At the rally, Muhammad Ali led the chant: "Justice is our demand! There is no peace on stolen land!"

On October 19, 2023, SJP Pitt and other anti-Israel groups held a pro-terror and anti-American protest in Pittsburgh. The Instagram post promoting the event included messaging that called for Israel's destruction.
At least one speaker led chants calling for Israel's destruction and when he later spread hatred of America, the crowd cheered. The same speaker also equated Israel with Nazi Germany, a modern form of anti-Semitism. Speakers also often accused Israel of "genocide" in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
At different times during the rally, speakers honored terrorists, including Hamas terrorists in Gaza. One SJP activist memorialized Ghassan Kanafani, who was the spokesman for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group. When protesters marched at the end of the rally, they chanted: "Justice is our demand! No peace on stolen land!"
