Flyer Glorifying Rape as Palestinian Resistance Draws Outrage and Fact-Checks

2026-10-28T14:22:28Z

Images of the flyer, featuring slogans like 'FREE PALESTINE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY,' spread widely, prompting strong condemnations. Claire Adams called it sickening to see rape glorified as resistance in a Western country, while Steven Barrett labeled it an evil crime and Dr. Naomi Wolf stressed holding rapists accountable. Fact-checks from USA Today and Check Your Fact confirm the photo circulated in the US before April 2024, predating Columbia University's 2024 protests, with archived Instagram posts showing the same design years earlier. A counter-sticker proclaiming 'RAPE IS NOT RESISTANCE' and 'STAND WITH ISRAEL' emerged in response, reflecting broad agreement that sexual violence has no place in political causes.

Never in my life did I think I would witness something so abhorrent in a Western country. To see rape openly glorified as resistance is beyond sickening. If this is what some pro-Palestinian activists are promoting, I do not want anyone who advocates such barbarity in our country, regardless of who they are.

Rape is not "resistance". It is an evil and psychopathic crime.

Obviously this sentiment is unfathomablely abhorrent no matter why or who says it. But this pic is getting traction and claims are being circulated so important to know it turned up in the US prior to April 2024 and noone has been able to verify who took it or made the leaflet.

They claimed the protests were about peace and human rights. But it was always about hatred and antisemitism. Rape is not resistance, and no political cause justifies sexual violence or the dehumanisation of innocent people. #News #Politics #FreePalestine

I bet @AOC is totally fine with this r*pe of women because it’s supporting Muslims and the far left terrorist Palestine movement.

International bodies, legal frameworks, and researchers classify rape during war not as an inevitable byproduct or an act of rogue soldiers, but as a deliberate tactic and weapon of war.
