Amazon is selling the items, including hats, shirts, and pins featuring clenched fists and the Palestinian flag, via third-party sellers, breitbart,com reported, citing the Times of Israel.
Most of the “Free Palestine” items in Amazon’s marketplace have been getting one-star ratings from consumers unhappy with how Amazon is willing to host a third-party retailer that sells anti-Israel propaganda.
“Why would you sell “free Palestine” merchandise? it presupposes the nonexistence of Israel and ultimately the nialiation of the Jewish nation,” one user wrote in a review of a “Free Palestine! Save Gaza T-Shirt.”
“It’s a shame that Amazon sells such offensive and terror supporting shirts!” another user wrote in a review of the same product.

Sears released a statement Wednesday saying that they removed their “Free Palestine” shirts from its online marketplace.
Spreadshirt Collection, the custom-design t-shirt company that sold the items, featured merchandise ranging from tank tops to t-shirts that had pro-Palestinian messages.
The clothing was sold through the Sears Marketplace, which allows third-party sellers to market their items on Sears websites.
Walmart also sold the shirts but stopped selling them as of Wednesday.
