TL;DR
Zara has pulled an advertising campaign featuring images of rubble and mannequins wrapped in plastic after facing backlash for evoking scenes of death and destruction in Gaza. The campaign, which was intended to showcase craft-made garments in an artistic context, received criticism on social media for its resemblance to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Zara expressed regret for any offense caused and stated that the images were created before the recent attack on Israel. The retailer has faced previous calls for boycotts related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
