Demand for Mossad T-shirts up tenfold after Dubai assassination

<snip>

"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."

Maybe with a drone on it?

I can't say I'm surprised.

Israelis have learned since at least the Munich Olympics and Achille Lauro incidents that the International Community has no interest in apprehending or dealing with terrorists who target Jews. The Mossad is thus a source of pride as one of the only organizations committed to protecting Israeli Jews. In fact, the Mossad is a reminder to most Israelis of the main purpose of Israel; mainly that the rest of the world failed to protect or defend Jews. Now something can be done about that.

something the hardline israeli leadership doesn't, as they continue in their efforts of collective punishment and asymmetrical retaliation.

The main purpose of Israel is that the Jews deserve and need to have their own state, the same as anyone else, and not to be treated as 'foreigners within' another country. It was not established *because* of the Holocaust.

Other countries also have their own organizations for defense and intelligence, some better/ more effective/ more ethical than others, rather than relying just on international organizations. And many countries' citizens are extremely 'gung ho' about such organizations. It's normal - not exceptional one way or another.
