M&S posted an outtake from its Christmas advert that showed hats in the colours of the Palestinian flag burning in a fire.
Marks and Spencer’s apology after posting an outtake from its Christmas advert that showed hats in the colours of the Palestinian flag burning in a fire has divided opinion on social media.
But some social media users claimed there was a similarity between the colours of the hats and the Palestinian flag, with one user describing the photo as “distasteful”. One user on X, formerly Twitter, said: “How come you have that much hate to deliver disguised as “Christmas celebration”?”In a statement posted to X on Wednesday night, M&S said: “Today we shared an outtake image from our Christmas Clothing and Home advert, which was recorded in August.
One said: “Why are you apologising when it was recorded in August? If some stupid person thinks you have purposely just made it up since the 7th Oct then that’s down to them. Deary me..”
