Amazon vows to REMOVE all Palestine Action merchandise following JN exposé
EXCLUSIVE: Move follows Jewish News investigation into the sale of terrorist-supporting t-shirts, including for young children
Amazon has confirmed that it will be removing all Palestine Action merchandise from its UK site, after a Jewish News exposé revealed that a range of products supporting the terrorist organisation – including t-shirts designed for three-year-olds – were available for purchase.
Following the investigation by Jewish News, the online retail giant released a statement on Thursday morning, saying: “We require all products sold by independent third party sellers in our store to comply with all applicable laws. We are removing the products in question.”
T-shirts for children as young as three years old were being sold in support of Palestine Action, proscribed as a UK terror organisation on 5 July, following the infiltration of the UK’s largest airforce base and damage to military aircraft.
The organisation has carried out a large number of attacks since its creation in 2020; many have targeted UK locations of Israeli defence firms, but Jewish charities with Israel links have also been hit.
Online marketplace Etsy, which Jewish News discovered is also selling Palestine Action tee-shirts, together with boycott Israel stickers, has not responded to requests for comment.
One purchaser via Etsy left a message saying: “Great item. Haven’t been arrested yet but the message is loud and clear. Thank-you.”
Membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison under the Terrorism Act 2000.
The Metropolitan police have been contacted for comment.
