31. Israeli & Jewish
A Palestinian ,   Abu Dhabi   (06.28.07)
Dear sisters and brothers, with all respect to your opinions with regard to the subject where I also agree with you that such a move should be rejected, I would like to remind you that we need to distinguish between Israeli & Jewish people. We as Muslims, have no offense towards Jewish as we respect them as well as their religion. Our problem is with Israel as a colonization association. So, please direct your thoughts against Israeli & not Jewish.

Come on Dubai. You with all your money and riches, you are competing with the world with your empire state towers and billion dollar projects...Can't you open a shop and cater to the oversized community? Do you really need to bring in an Israeli brand to satisfy your people?

It's time YOU all got used to the idea of a free world trade in merchandise. You are rude and backward get on with the 21st century for heaven's sakes we are talking about clothes for large men, not your mother!!!
40. Arabs in Dubai should Boycott this store
Gisele from Beirut   (11.27.07)
Until the Palestinians are free and free from Humiliation and targeted killing daily to the Arabs in dubai who dont mind shopping there i say Shame on u , try and trouble yourself for finding an alternative , why put money in israeli economyy when you can help free the Palestinians . that s the problem with lots of Arabs , no principles and no personality , just money and greed . shame on u . you make me sick
41. The first Store is " LEVI'S " 2nd GUESS This would be 3rd
Angry Arab ,   South, Lebanon   (11.27.07)
Hello to all, Just thought I would clarify this is not the first store Levi's and Guess are already in shopping malls in Dubai. The UAE are thinking with a Tourism/Business mentality I mean when I visited a few weeks ago, I was surprised to find Prostitution, Pork, and even Gambling. Yet they still seem to close on Fridays because they think Allah will forgive them for sinning all week and respect Friday. Just Facts plain and simple. Where are we Heading? Keep Your Head Up
42. i'm not buying the bomb that'll kill me
fadi ,   beirut   (11.28.07)
If I support Israeli economy in any way. i'll be indirectly buying the bomb that could kill me or my children. not to mention that the factory probably enslaves palestinian workers
43. israeli store in dubai
gisele ghantous ,   wilmette usa   (11.30.07)
to the goverment of dubai arent you ashame of your self?? shame shame on you history will remember you as traitors
44. Learn to punctuate
another non Israeli   (12.06.07)
Given that the people of Dubai are presumably writing not only in a language not their own but an alphabet that is not their own, that's a pretty pathetic shot. And whilst you may be able to spell in English, your punctuation is pretty shabby.
47. I dont believe it
um_hind ,   UAE...Dubai   (12.17.07)
i dont think it will open here..no one in uae will let them open.... in there dreams maby
48. My acceptance & actions
Rania Mohammad ,   Abu Dhabi, UAE   (01.01.08)
Quote from the article: "Opening the Dubai branch will bring the clothing brand back on the international scene, after other overseas stores have failed." So there's a chance that this store will fail in Dubai too... I doubt it! To all you Arabs and Muslims against this store, face the reality here: Israel already owns over 70% of Dubai-and UAE altogether! If you enter a mall the majority of stores are supporting Israel if they were not Israeli themselves, the minority is either Indian, Chinese, Japanese or Korean. NO Arabic products in any way whatsoever! So if you Arabs are against it, then why don't you rich fat ones move your lard stuffed arses and make a shop for over-sized people! I am a proud Muslim, and an Arab too, specifically Palestinian and Im against the opening of this store and I will never enter it even if I suddenly turn into an elephant! Although I accept the reality that it will open- hello! This is a F***ked up world we live in!! I will still take action against it, and so should everyone who's with me, and against the store. I'm sure you all received an email of ways to take action so lets work on them together! May Allah be with us.
