Bloomingdales and Farfetch have also removed Cult Gaia from their stores in support of Palestine
Bloomingdales and Farfetch have both removed Cult Gaia from their stores because of it’s open show of support towards the violence. Israel’s military is ranked in the top 20 in the world with a budget of $17 billion, according to Business Insider. Palestine doesn’t have an army but very dedicated civilians. For people to say Israel has the right to defend itself against a country with no army, is raising many eyebrows among the Palestinian supporters.
