A top marketing specialist at Nike responded to Iran-backed terror group Hamas's Oct. 7 slaughtering of innocent Israeli women and children by accusing the Jewish state—not Hamas—of "massacring civilians."
James Rehwald, who has worked as a "digital media marketing specialist" at Nike since 2021, on Oct. 16 posted a video to his Patreon account titled, "Why Israel Deliberately Targets Civilians." That video, Rehwald wrote in his caption, exposes the "brutal military and settler colonial occupation that Israel has imposed on its native Palestinians for the past 75 years." Rehwald went on to downplay the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against Israelis during their attack on the Jewish state, arguing that Israel commits those same atrocities "on a much greater scale."
"Much of what Israel claims about [the] Palestinian resistance is pure projection," Rehwald wrote in his caption. "The killing of children, massacring civilians, the r*pe, torture, hostage-taking, and imprisonment that Israel accuses Palestinians of occurs on a much greater scale by the Israelis."
Rehwald's dismissal of Hamas's barbaric attack—which saw some Hamas terrorists gleefully film themselves using a hoe to behead a civilian's corpse—comes as some employers cut ties with young staffers over their support for the terror group. Chicago-based law firm Winston & Strawn, for example, withdrew an employment offer to New York University law student Ryna Workman, who issued a statement saying Israel "bears full responsibility" for Hamas's attack.

In the best of wars, it is the consequence. In this case, it’s much worse. It didn’t have to be quite so bad, but Hamas was actively preventing civilians from leaving.
We’re not disagreeing.
You don’t get an approval rating of less than 30 percent for nothing. The vast majority of Israelis expect him to resign after the war and there is always the possibility they know something we don’t.
“They’re always trying to stick charges to him, based on BS. This time is no different. Used to do the same to Lieberman, ‘til he veered leftward.”
Right. It’s amazing how the left has convinced so many around the world that their narrative is factual. It illustrates how easily most of the world will be fooled by the Antichrist. I can see clearly, even now, how that will happen.
Never bought or owned a pair of Nikes and never will. Overpriced and made by slaves. The American people have been suckered into a material world where they love to parade around in clothes and shoes with someone’s name or logo on them just so they can help make that person/corp. rich! And in the end, it all means nothing!
Never buy Nike!
I understood your point you made no attempt to add a little nuance so you could expect some blow back. Evil people will exploit attempts at restraint and compassion during a war. This is why the bastards house troops in hospitals and transport fighters in ambulances. No civilian casualties is just an impossibility and making it a first priority usually ends up causing more.
I won’t buy Nike shoes and I haven’t for decades.
I buy cheap shoes. I use them up. I buy some more. Nike? Kaepernick, China and all its compounded evils, and this d!ck-wad all shout a big, fat NOOOO! Never.
“ What would an idiot that sells basketball shoes know about what is going on in Gaza?”
Nike must sell a lot of gear to terrorists, or some of their major stockholders support it. They do seem tone deaf about certain things.
