Thousands of social media users in Saudi Arabia backed calls for a boycott of Amazon ( AMZN ) and its regional subsidiary on Monday. Bezos owns the Washington Post and is still by far the biggest shareholder in Amazon. Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post, was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month. "Let's defend our nation ... boycott Amazon to send a message to its owner so he is aware of the scale of the damage," Otyf added. "Boycott Amazon and Souq.com" was one of the top trending hashtags in Saudi Arabia on Monday.
