Bloomingdale’s Fires Worker Over 'Free Palestine' Note in Hanukkah PJs

Bloomingdale’s terminated the employee who inserted a slip of paper with the phrase “Free Palestine” into a package that had Hanukkah-themed pajamas, according to a person close to the company.

The customer who received them found the hand-written message inside the package and posted it on social media Tuesday. Bloomingdale’s, the high-end department store owned by Macy’s Inc., paused operations in part of a fulfillment center to investigate the incident, said the person, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. The center is now back up and running, the person added.
