Chinese retail site SHEIN is causing an uproar among Israeli users after Palestinian flags were offered for sale on it, while every attempt to find an Israeli flag was met with a broken link, Israel Hayom reports.
A search for the phrase"Palestine flag" on the website led to, among other things, a page where a Palestine flag appeared for sale for a price of 4.25 pounds sterling, which is now out of stock, as well as another similar flag that was sold for 29 NIS.
A search for the phrase "Israel Flag," as mentioned, led to a broken link, while a search for the word flag led to a page where the Palestinian flag and flags or items of other countries but not of Israel could be found.
SHEIN is considered a very popular site among Israeli consumers, who were very angry at the discovery and began flooding the web with calls to boycott the site.
"You support a terrorist organization that attacks my country, Israel. Hamas is worse than ISIS. We will stop buying from you," shared an angry follower in one of the site's largest Facebook groups of consumers in a message she sent to customer service, expressing the hope that she is not the only one and that they will be flooded with similar messages that will lead them to remove the item.
"Those who support Hamas support terrorism. We will not buy more from you if you do not remove the flag and add the Israeli flag," she added.
