An Amazon executive has ignited fury after sporting a necklace with a pendant shaped like the map of Israel overlaid with a Palestinian flag, prompting social media users to threaten to cancel Prime subscriptions and demand her dismissal.
Amazon exec Dr Ruba Borno sparks outrage after wearing necklace with Palestinian flag imposed on map of Israel as users vow to cancel Prime subscriptions
The map that was dangling from Borno’s necklace encompasses what is today Israel as well as the West Bank and Gaza Strip — territories that the Palestinians have demanded as the basis for an independent state.“The video shot was not meant to be a political statement, but we’ve taken down the video and will repost a new one in the coming days,” an Amazon spokesperson told The Post.
Others also noted that an Israeli man employed by an Amazon subsidiary in Israel, Alexander Sasha Trupanov, is being held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
