“They [jews] have been killing innocent people for 70 years, stealing their homeland and lying to the media. Having the world fooled by their arrogant white privilege. The indigenous Palestinian people have had enough. So, this is the result.”
Sandra’s comment immediately went viral, and Vici Dolls formally apologized. The company posted on its official Instagram page that:
“VICI has zero tolerance for violence, hateful speech, and discrimination of any kind. We are deeply troubled by the comments made by our original founder from her personal social media account.
