depicting a Palestine youth
holding an AK-47 assault
rifle with “victimized”
written under the provocative image.
Earlier this year, apparel
company Zara drew scorn
when it released a children’s
top that resembled uniforms worn by prisoners at
Nazi concentration camps.
They issued an apology,
stating it was meant to look
like a western sheriff badge,
and pulled the merchandise
from stores.
“Given the environment of
product in this super, hyper
competitive business, crazy
things are going to slip
through,” said retail consultant Howard Davidowitz.

Urban Outfitters released
