After public outcry, mega-retailer Walmart has removed T-shirts glorifying Islamic terrorists.
Horrified online shopping stumbled across a t-shirt bearing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s face with the word ‘Resist,’ on clothing.
Sinwar, who orchestrated the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza after evading capture for over a year. Sinwar had taken over leadership of Hamas in August following the Israeli military’s killing of Ismail Haniyeh. As Hamas’ wartime leader, Sinwar had reportedly been hiding in a tunnel beneath Gaza, using Israeli hostages as human shields. Israeli officials said they were aware of his location but noted that the area was rigged with explosives, complicating efforts to capture him.
StopAntisemitism shared the disturbing image of Sinwar on X.
Walmart shoppers were horrified to find shirts glorifying Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar while online shopping. @Walmart, are you aware you’re selling apparel celebrating terrorism and violence against Jews?
This is a outrageous—remove them immediately. pic.twitter.com/po8BBLLafc

Another shirt featured Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Islamist terrorist group Hezbollah.
Nasrallah was killed in September during an Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah’s central command bunker headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon.

After being made aware of the terrorist-supporting shirts, the retailer removed them.
UDATE: Walmart has removed the listings for all shirts glorifying terrorists Sinwar and Nasrallah.
The items were apparently sold by a NJ based DISPATCH.D LLC ; the registered agent of the company is Hadi Sauma.
