Original Note:
The articles are from 2011 and the store in Givatayim has closed since then. Sanrio has not outrightly stated their political stance. However, it is true that multiple Palestinian groups protested them opening the store in the first place. https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4083581,00.html https://boycottisrael.info/content/sanrio-please-follow-muji-and-refrain-opening-hello-kitty-stores-apartheid-israel https://viraltalky.com/does-sanrio-support-israel-or-palestine/
