Demand for Mossad T-shirts up tenfold after Dubai assassination

Tabnabs

SALES OF Mossad-themed T-shirts, available by mail order, have risen tenfold since the Israeli spy agency was linked to last month’s assassination in Dubai.

Despite the fact that Israeli leaders are refusing to confirm or deny Mossad involvement, orders for the garments have flooded in over the past few weeks – from Israelis and particularly from diaspora Jews.

Eran Davidov, marketing manager of a top mail order company selling Israeli-made products, told The Irish Times they have been overwhelmed by demand since they launched a special “Show off your Mossad and Israeli pride” campaign earlier this week.

“Don’t Mess With the Mossad” next to a picture of a pistol is top of the T-shirt range. Another popular T-shirt has the word Mossad with the letter “o” replaced by a circular target used on a rifle range, with the organisation’s title underneath: “The Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations.” The word Mossad in Hebrew next to a pistol is also on offer.

Mr Davidov said that since the launch of the marketing campaign the company has received dozens of e-mails and blog messages expressing pride in the ability of Mossad to strike with impunity throughout the Arab world.

Mossad-theme souvenirs are now definitely in.

Israeli army or T-shirts with pro-Israel slogans have been popular for years among Jewish tourists visiting Israel, particularly with Jewish American teenagers.

Ironically, they are often purchased from Palestinian merchants in the winding alleyways of Jerusalem’s old city.

If you wore a Hamas shirt, you could get arrested for glorifying terrorism apparently in some EU countries, so I don't see why Mossad should be so special.

It is actually because Che is dead, the hammer and sickle was merely a flag (that isn't even in use anymore) and the KGB don't exist.

Mossad on the other hand do exist,are apparently frauding Irish passports (thus putting irish citizens at risk) and commiting murder in other countries.

Ahh sure it's ok if the Jews do it.
Holocaust and all that.

They have the right to kill anyone they want because Hitler killed a few Million of them.


Do I need sarcasm tags for this one?

Without question there are laws in every western democracy (i.e., not Israel) against incitement of violence or hatred.

But, these shirts are no different to people wearing FBI hats in the US, etc.,.

Might be better to make your own version

"Mossad are bunch of paedophiles" - it';s up to them to prove me wrong!

For those that can remember, at least they have something in common, they are both terrorist organizations.

Nor do the Jewish fanatics.

Don't be under any illusion that there are not fanatics in Israel. The only difference is that the Jews have the backing of the U.S.

I watched a show on BC3 a few months ago.
Chav kids from England sent to strict parents around the world.
This one chick was sent to Israel. She was forced (by American Jewish settlers) to cover up her body because of religious laws.

All Abrahamic religions have their lunatics and the Jews are no different to the extreme Catholics and Muslims.

No its OK if the Israeli government and their lackeys do it, lets not paint Joos with the same brush. I think this is disgusting though. And only highlights the utter stupidity and gullible nature of folks who believe they are the victims.

• The exact same fooking thing happened with the US and 9/11. America the victim, our freedoms man, these Arabs, these Moslem's. Terrorists.....Iraq?!
  
• Britain and 7/7, incitement to hatred, Jean Charles, extradition..these Arabs, these Moslem's. Terrorists.....Iraq?!

Priorities are meaningless when you have the people scared and believing they are victims. And being humane about it is priority Zero.
