"We are benefiting from one
thing, and that is the attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon and the
American struggle in Iraq.
These events swung American public opinion in our
favor."
People all over Israel are celebrating Purim this weekend, and much like Halloween, the dress-up holiday is a perfect opportunity for parents to show off their creativity and then display it on their poor kids.
The winners of the contest for Costume of Poorest Taste are
definitely 7-year-old twins Ilay and Nehoray, who dressed up as the burning
World Trade Center towers with the planes still in them on 9/11. At least they
spared us the jumpers.
Publication of the picture on the Israeli news website Ynet prompted widespread condemnation. How would Israelis feel if Americans dressed up as a burning Tel Aviv bus, or Europeans wore a “train to Auschwitz” costume? some asked. Ooopsies. Someone already took the last suggestion to heart.

Orthodox cchildren dressed as Auschwitz victims for Purim
This is as bad taste as the contest HEEB magazine held a few years ago
asking readers to submit their most outrageous Holocaust stories, all to be
fiction.
The obvious
“response” to that would be for all Americans who attend costume parties
&/or who “dress up” for Halloween, to create & wear “Six Dancing
Israelis w/White Van” costumes, plaster photos of same all over social media,
& hope it gets picked up by the international wire services.
What do you think about the costume?
OMG Noor I put the same freakin' post up!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll dress up as Anne Frank this Halloween. Well; i may as well since those fine individuals at Vivid are going to make a porn movie about her so I don't think it would be possible for anyone to lower the tone as much as Vivid have.. What i don't get with the Towers costumes is the lack of outrage expressed. OK the media will give that one a pass but surely; enough people have come across it whilst being logged on?
ReplyDeleteThese Children are Beautiful.....bringing the awareness of the 911
ReplyDeleteissue to the forefront to question...like it or not.
Fantastic!!!!
