🇮🇱🇵🇸🇺🇸 A customer at a California Apple Store is angry when he sees an employee with the Palestinian flag:
“Why did you let them carry that flag? Does she support Hamas? Because Hamas controls that flag. These guys beheaded our babies.”
The employee replies: “That never happened”… https://t.co/QY59vn2pdk pic.twitter.com/kypXZ1BEUZ

The man asks the manager, “Why is she wearing that flag?” Do you know what Hamas did? They beheaded babies.’
Instead of engaging in a political discussion, the manager simply tells him that he has to leave the store and that if he doesn’t comply, security will be called.
“We’ll call security.” “We don’t need you to bother them,” she explains.
The man replies: “I don’t bother anyone.”
The manager replies, “Is there anything else we can help you with?”
“I want to know why you let her wear that?” Does she support Hamas? If not, then why is she wearing that flag? Why did you let them carry that flag?’ he asks.

In the video, the customer calls the employee a “terrorist” who supports Palestine while asking the manager why she is allowed to wear such clothing
“Is she supportive?” [terror group] Hamas?’ he wants to know.
The woman with the offensive flag then holds her hands up to the camera and tells the supposed customer to “stop screaming.”
But the customer continues to claim that Hamas “fucking beheaded our babies.”
“That never happened,” the worker replies.
The cameraman is then seen calling the employee a “fucking idiot.”
The worker appears irritated, but sensibly walks away from the situation, just as the customer calls her a “piece of shit.”
The manager once again asks the harassing customer to leave the store.
Several on social media expressed dissatisfaction with workers displaying the flag on their clothing
Some on X are asking Apple CEO Tim Cook, pictured, for an answer to the dispute
“Shame on @Apple for allowing this celebration.” [of] Hamas from an Apple Store employee,” said one X user. “Why call it a place of community when it’s now just a political stage for your employees?”
“Apple, do you want to be boycotted next?” asked another. “Identify these employees and fire them.”
“I write as a Jewish customer and shareholder,” said another X user. “The store staff makes Jewish customers feel unsafe and under attack.” Hamas, the Palestinian entity’s elected ruler, recently kidnapped and murdered 1,800 Israelis and Americans. Urgent advice please.’
“Employees who annoy potential or existing customers ultimately hurt sales and Apple shareholders,” explained another.
“So Apple supports terrorism? Wearing the flag as an employee is harassment in itself. And a blanket acknowledgment from Apple that they support terrorism,” another commenter noted.
has reached out to Apple for comment on the encounter.
