H & M officials have apologized for the controversial women’s scarf that resembles a tallis. The company explains it will refrain from selling the item in Israel.
Women’s Wear Daily quotes the company saying “We are truly sorry if we have offended anyone with this piece. Everyone is welcome at H&M and we never take a religious or political stand. Our intention was never to upset anyone. Stripes is one of the trends for this season and we’ve been inspired by this.”

This is not the first tim H&M have “accidentally” done this kind of thing & it won’t be the last. Boycott them.
Mountain out of a mole hill. Why should we boycott? To spread hate? Looks like a striped scarf to me
I can’t believe people made an issue out of this! People need to stop making mountains out of molehills. There are way more important issues to concern oneself with.
I’m with ivory… it’s a scarf. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Save making issues for when they matter…
Ivory why because of their uter disregard to Jews they would never try this with Moslems
But check where they come from
Hint they are a European owned company
Sweden. The country that is now demanding European courts investigate Israel’s mid treatment of Moslems
