American retail giant Walmart sparked controversy on Monday after shirts praising former Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar appeared to have been available for purchase on its online store. 

"@Walmart, are you aware you're selling apparel celebrating terrorism and violence against Jews?" StopAntisemtisim, a non-profit watchdog organization aimed at exposing and combatting antisemitism, addressed the incident in a post on X.

Sinwar was killed by IDF troops in the Gaza Strip in October, while Nasrallah was eliminated in an Israel Air Force strike in Beirut in September.

The individual selling the shirts at Walmart also offers for sale on the online website a shirt depicting a swastika on an American flag paired with the inscription "I don't kneel."
