A local fashion label has come under fire for their online comments on social media about the Israel-Hamas War, with many criticising them for being entitled and ignorant .
In a live product launch last Friday (Nov 10), Beyond The Vines (BTV) co-founder Rebecca Ting said that she wanted to talk about things that have arisen in the past few days.
Ting was referring to how eagle-eyed netizens noticed that her husband and BTV founder Daniel Chew had followed the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries (Firm) - a Jerusalem-based Christian non-profit organisation - on Instagram.
This has resulted in social media users accusing BTV for supporting the Israeli military s ongoing operations in Gaza City, which stemmed from Palestine militant group Hamas surprise attack in Israel on Oct 7.
During the Instagram live-stream, Ting said that she wanted to address it .
