Pro-Palestinian protesters targeted Zara stores in London's West End to protest against their support of the Israeli government.
Firstly, we need to start by providing context, in case people are not aware of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. There has been a long history of conflict, which started after World War I and continued up until 1967 when Israel declared its independence. Since then, there have been several wars and peace accords. In recent years, Israel has continued to grow more powerful and influential.
For the last few months, many anti-Israel protesters have taken to the streets, calling for boycotts of Israeli products and companies. It started with a group called Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), which was founded in the UK in 2005 and began organizing protests. Now that they have gained enough momentum, pro-Palestinian protesters have started targeting specific brands, including Zara stores in London’s West End. They want to draw attention to the fact that Zara supports the Israeli government’s handling of the situation.
