‘Jihadi John’ gets a Purim debut
A week after the identity of the infamous Islamic State executioner was revealed, Israelis are throwing good taste to the winds and dressing up as “Jihadi John” for Purim.
Bonus points for an orange-clad hostage.
A couple working at the Foreign Ministry won second place at the annual costume contest for such a get-up.
It is a popular costume among high-schoolers as well, according to the Ynet news site.
Last Halloween in the US, “Islamic State terrorist” was a popular costume. A group of women made a particular splash online for their “sexy IS” interpretation.
