Boycott opportunity: Urban Outfitters glorifies the slaughter of Israeli civilians
If you were going to spend money -- or, more likely, give your teenagers money to spend -- at Urban Outfitters, consider whether you want to do business there. I do not.

They've already pulled the shirt, dude. But still, this seems to be a recurring problem.
Also, isn't Urban Outfitters one of the more expensive outlets? If so, what the heck is "urban" about it?

Urban Outfitters wrote back quickly to my afternoon email, stating that they had pulled the shirt. I'm still not going back, not that I was a huge fan of theirs in the first place. Beyond, the celebration of murder, the shirt also glorifies the ongoing weaponization of children in Gaza et al.
It's beyond sickening and in a just world no brand could recover from such a stain.

Who makes a decision to put a shirt like that on the shelf?

Unbelievable. My two daughters won't spend any money there ever again. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Did you see this Urban Outfitters shirt?

The use of dollar signs as the symbol of Jewishness got it pulled off the shelves.
