Why do we support Jewish fashion industry, while Israel massacres Gaza civilians?

Submitted by DA on Saturday, 17 January 2009View Comments

Kuwait and other countries in the GCC has always patronized high fashion, designer boutiques, and premium fashion brands. Some of these well-known brands are owned by designers of Jewish origin. If we could raise our concerns when a Danish cartoonist published caricatures of Prophet [PBUH] by boycotting all their products, its time we raise our sentiments to the Jewish community in another non-violent way. Why should we patronize the Jewish industry when they have been cold faced to the Gaza massacre? Why fill their pockets with money that could as well be used for some welfare in Gaza?

It is time we express our solidarity with people of Gaza…Here is a list of designers of Jewish origin.

    ?Why people of Muslim origin don't like generalizations against them, while they like to practice generalizations against others?

    All Danish people are not the same.
    All Jewish people are not the same.
    All Muslim people are not the same.

  • Reality check, people: A few decades ago, the entire Gulf countries boycotted many International brands that supported Israel, like Ford, Coca Cola, Cadbury's, Marks & Spencer, etc...what did that do?

    Now you're asking the most fashion-conscious women in the world to boycott Israeli fashion houses because they support Israel??

    oh brother....
  • Well DA just because they are Jewish doesnt mean they support Israel.. don't get me wrong I agree with the concept, but I think we should boycott people who actually support Israel..

    @Teagirl -
    Well consider this just because Gaza civilians live where Hamas lives, Israel also has moved in to actually kill civilians. Atleast by boycotting Jewish industry we send a message across that the act of Israeli aggression on innocent civilians holds no bar, and the World would not support the backbone of Israel 'the Jewish population'
