The Elderly Making a Spectacle: Senior Citizens Stage Anti-Israel Protest at Zara, Shut Down Store

Jun 2, 2026·1 min read

A group of elderly men and women got in on the game of anti-Israel protests, blocking the entrance to Zara in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and forcing the store’s closure for a day. Zara is one of the largest fast-fashion retailers in the world.

It remains unclear how harassing a clothing shop will help Arabs in Gaza.

Despite the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that was established in October 2025, anti-Israel protesters maintain that the alleged “genocide” of Gazans is still ongoing. Recently, Israel intercepted and turned back a flotilla sailing from Spain, Italy and Turkey multiple times as it attempted to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. Earlier this week, protesters raised eyebrows as they gathered outside an old-age home in Toronto, Canada. And college students graduating from the law school of the City University of New York last month used their graduation ceremony to stage protests by unfurling Palestinian flags and holding up signs bearing anti-Israel slogans as they were called onstage to receive their diplomas.
