Report: Amazon Still Selling Hizbullah Flags following Confederate Flag Ban
The online U.S. retail giant Amazon is still selling the flags of Hizbullah and Hamas despite a pledge to remove Confederate flag merchandise from its website, CNSNews reported.
“Flags of Hamas and Hizbullah, and armed Taliban action figures are among the offerings available with a few clicks of a mouse,” it said on Tuesday.
Both Hizbullah and Hamas are considered terrorist organizations in the U.S.
Last month, major U.S. retailers, led by Walmart and Amazon, said they will no longer sell Confederate flags after racially motivated killings in South Carolina.
A white gunman, who had photographed himself draped in the flag, shot dead nine people in a church in Charleston, South Carolina.
But CNSNews said that items featuring the bright yellow flag of Hizbullah continue to be on sale on Amazon.
“A pack of photographic prints of the flag are available for $3.99, a fridge magnet for $2.99, a small window cling flag for $2.99, and an “I love Hizbullah” infant bodysuit for $19.99,” it added.
