Israeli jewellery maker Ori Vechler, a self-proclaimed proud Zionist, has triggered outrage amongst the public in Qatar where he is currently taking part in an exhibition to promote his designs.Vechler, who founded Gemma Fine Jewelry in 2013, had previously spent three years serving with the Israeli military, an entity that has been consistently condemned by rights organisations worldwide for its involvement in war crimes, including mass killings and unlawful arrests of Palestinians.Vechler is currently exhibiting his work at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) in the Qatari capital.The Doha-based group, Qatar Youth Opposed to Normalisation (QAYON) which supports the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, took to social media this week to highlight his history of Islamophobia and pro-Zionist propaganda, as seen in posts shared on social media.In one such screenshot from Vechler’s Instagram story, the Israeli entrepreneur was asked whether he had served with the Israeli military.“Yes, I’ve proudly served for three years,” he said, adding an emoji of the occupying state’s flag.
They point to examples of how offensive Vechler is on social media:
They pointed out in the second image that the Israeli flag was seen above the Dome of the Rock - so that was obviously meant to provoke Muslims.
The entire article is filled with the craziest hate, saying that the Yom Haatzmaut he was celebrating is "an annual occurrence to mark the 1948 ethnic cleansing and mass expulsion of Palestinians."
Gemma Fine Jewelry is headquartered in Shanghai.
