Standing up for Palestinians and the boycotting of brands for having anti-Palestinian ideals has become a global movement to try and support the innocent lives lost.

The Spanish retailer Zara’s head designer, Vanessa Perilman, faces a huge backlash after her anti-Palestinian comments to a model named Qaher, resulting in many people’s decision to boycott the brand.

Officials were notified about the designers' comments, much to the bitter dismay of many fans of the brand.

The designer later apologised openly accepting her fault for defending the heinous crimes done by Israel as defence, and disagreeing to be an act of evil.

The Palestinian model Qaher, took to his social media account to share the response of the designer, while the designer deleted all her messages and responses from social media.
