BizPacReview has the story:
The PC police have won another round.
Social-justice warriors have managed to bully Walmart into dropping a children’s Halloween costume of an Israeli soldier, because it is allegedly “offensive” to Palestinians.
Walmart announced that they would stop selling the innocuous costume after a flurry of anti-Israel reviews and comments from social media, reported Twitchy.
The costume is still available on Amazon.

Well, I personally find the notion of “palestine” to be offensive – the idea that two, unrelated and different gangs of criminals from different regions, with different genetics and dialects – the displaced Egyptians on one side, in Gaza, and the exiled Syrian Arabs from Jordan on the other side of Israel, on ‘the West Bank’ of the River jordan – are somehow one country which takes precedence over the real one, which has had a homogeneous population for thousands of years!
And, funny thing – I’m pretty sure people like me outnumber ‘palestinians’ (and unicorms!) in North America, so maybe MalWart should pay attention to demographics and listen up, fools!
