Just proves that people will see what they want to see. Since Palestinians do not celebrate Christmas, why should Marks & Spencer even care if they see something that is false? Western society has become so weak that it sickens me.

The image, an out-take from one of the company's TV adverts, showed red, green and silver hats burning in a fireplace.
M&S said the intent was to "playfully show that some people don't enjoy wearing paper Christmas hats".
The company removed the photo and said the advert was filmed in August, before the latest Israel-Gaza conflict began.
"We have removed the post following feedback and we apologise for any unintentional hurt caused," M&S added in a statement posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday night.
The photo was an out-take from the company's Christmas clothing and home advert, which is based on the premise that people should do away with Christmas traditions they no longer love.
The picture drew criticism from several social media users who claimed there was a similarity between the colours of the hats and the Palestinian flag, with one user describing the photo as "distasteful"...

Boy, people are hypersensitive. Is this a microagression or something more substantial requiring therapy?
That’s really bad taste.
Pali flags should be burned in a dumpster not a fireplace.
The entire ad was anti-Christmas and hateful. But it was just “playful!”
But oh noes... those burning party hats have the same colors as the palestinian flag... can’t have that!
I hate this dystopian future we live in.
certifiable...
Reminiscent of that New Yorker cover with Baraq and wife dressed as terrorists with the USA flag burning in the Oval Office fireplace.
These are Italian or Hungarian flag colors, actually.
Haha - I remember that one - had it posted in my office for years - Lol !!!
Poor babies.
Yet, we are supposed to look the other way when they behead people.
Not looking the other way.
Hamas roasting on an open fire,
IDF nipping at your toes,
Bunker busters fill the air,
Militants hiding behind NGOs ...
Just proves that people will see what they want to see. Since Palestinians do not celebrate Christmas, why should Marks & Spencer even care if they see something that is false? Western society has become so weak that it sickens me.
Can I get that picture on a tea shirt, or better yet framed on a wall.
No, this is just more BS from the Hamas supporting Karens.
The video shows some routine Xmas decorations being burned in a fireplace. Decos that have colors green, red, etc.
What is offensive is the M&S commercial that shows rich, entitled TWOTS destroying Xmas parties, decorations, etc so that they can do as M&S proclaims: “Do what you want.”
That is why the ad was pulled. Brits told M&S to stuff it with their outrageous and sickening attack on Xmas.
The entire ad was anti-Christmas and hateful.
This is terrible! That flag should be in a toilet.
