Don’t Tel Aviv: An “ISIS-Themed” Gay Party Gets Expected Backlash

The appropriately named Drek, a popular organizer of gay parties in Tel Aviv, advertised an ISIS-themed party this last Friday. He posted this image on the group’s Facebook page, that shows one man as a black-clad ISIS member and the another as a Western hostage in an orange jumpsuit, like those worn by slain American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff (who was an Israeli citizen.) The image was taken down following backlash in the press and social media, but it remains preserved on Twitter: YNET reported on the theme:

“The organizers wrote ‘as the new Islamic State gains traction in the Middle East, we at Drek have decided to give in to Sharia law and cheer the stubborn Daesh,’ using the Arab acronym for the group, and invoking a veiled play on words – ‘stubborn’ in Hebrew can be written as hard necked’, a reference to the group’s infamous executions.”

Yeesh. Bad taste doesn’t cover it. (via TPM)
