A top marketing specialist at Nike responded to Iran-backed terror group Hamas's Oct. 7 slaughtering of innocent Israeli women and children by accusing the Jewish state—not Hamas—of "massacring civilians."
James Rehwald, who has worked as a "digital media marketing specialist" at Nike since 2021, on Oct. 16 posted a video to his Patreon account titled, "Why Israel Deliberately Targets Civilians." That video, Rehwald wrote in his caption, exposes the "brutal military and settler colonial occupation that Israel has imposed on its native Palestinians for the past 75 years." Rehwald went on to downplay the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against Israelis during their attack on the Jewish state, arguing that Israel commits those same atrocities "on a much greater scale."
"Much of what Israel claims about [the] Palestinian resistance is pure projection," Rehwald wrote in his caption. "The killing of children, massacring civilians, the r*pe, torture, hostage-taking, and imprisonment that Israel accuses Palestinians of occurs on a much greater scale by the Israelis."
Rehwald's dismissal of Hamas's barbaric attack—which saw some Hamas terrorists gleefully film themselves using a hoe to behead a civilian's corpse—comes as some employers cut ties with young staffers over their support for the terror group. Chicago-based law firm Winston & Strawn, for example, withdrew an employment offer to New York University law student Ryna Workman, who issued a statement saying Israel "bears full responsibility" for Hamas's attack.

“My collateral! My collateral is damaged!”
From Fiona Katauskas in The Telegraph.
All you need to do is look at who is funding Hamas and you have got your answer.
What would an idiot that sells basketball shoes know about what is going on in Gaza?
He’s not wrong.
Israel is at war. War in a city against a determined enemy will involve the deaths of civilians, sometimes many of them. “Massacring” is an emotive term not usually applied by the victors, but were we massacring civilians in Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki? And were “we” also raping women in German Eastern territories?
Of course we were.
One of the reasons Israel can’t win its war is because they recoil from “massacring civilians” when that becomes a necessary component of warfare against their enemies.
I don’t understand the lunacy that makes private corporations who produce consumer products involve themselves in politics. Why run off a large portion of your customer base?
Basketball shoes made by enslaved Uighers in China, which has a rap sheet as long as the Great Wall. Boycott, Divest, Sanction the PRC. There is only one China, and that is Taiwan.
As Michael Jordan would say, “Israelis buy shoes, too.”
Rules of war put civilian deaths on those deliberately hiding behind them. That BS dog won’t hunt anymore.
“All you need to do is look at who is funding Hamas and you have got your answer.”
And.... who is backing who is funding Hamas. Barack Hussein Obama and Jarrett are the liars backing the liars in Iran, who are funding the Hamas liars in Israel. They come by it naturally. Their father and ‘god’ is the father of lies, after all.
The barn door was open on Nike long ago, back when Kaepernick first took a knee and ruined American football.
My own view is that Netanyahu is hiding behind his wingnut Zionist cabinet ministers to stay in power, stay out of jail, but we’ll see what the investigation shows. There is probably little chance of reprisal in this case with Israel even more divided than the US.
“I don’t understand the lunacy that makes private corporations who produce consumer products involve themselves in politics. Why run off a large portion of your customer base?”
Because they are evil. And it’s the evil that makes them stupid. But at least they are showing us who and “what” they are.
Yeah?
Show me where more than JUST ME demonstrated the desire to burn their nike shoes the last time the woke corporation spoke up on social issues.
It’s a special type of hypocrisy.
“My own view is that Netanyahu is hiding behind his wingnut Zionist cabinet ministers to stay in power, stay out of jail, but we’ll see what the investigation shows. There is probably little chance of reprisal in this case with Israel even more divided than the US.”
Israel is just as divided as the US is due to the same evil (leftist) aholes attempting to destroy us from within. Netanyahu is being demonized by demons.
They’re always trying to stick charges to him, based on BS. This time is no different. Used to do the same to Lieberman, ‘til he veered leftward.
Is Nike still using child slave labor in Asia to make their shoes?
I never said Israel was to blame for civilian deaths.
I said that they ARE occurring, it is a consequence of war, and the use of the term “massacre” is an emotive term used to attack the victors.
Slaves is slaves. Probably some kids as well.
