A new trend among Palestinians and some Israeli Arabs wearing T-shirts with a M-16 printed on them began following the Bnei Brak terror attack, during which the heinous Palestinian terrorist shot victims with an M-16 rifle.
Unbelievably enough, Arab workers have been seen in Israeli supermarkets and other places, wearing the shirts. On Friday, an Arab showed up at work at a Yesh Chesed supermarket in Rechovot wearing a black T-shirt with the M-16 on the back, causing panic among the customers.
Later that day, the supermarket reported that “all employees of the Yesh Chesed chain are legal employees. This is an employee who is an Israeli citizen. Israel Police came to the branch to check the employee and approved his continued employment.”
On Sunday, an Arab worker showed up a Rami Levy supermarket in Ramat Gan wearing the same shirt, but this time it ended differently. A statement from Rami Levy said that following several warnings about non-compliance with a proper dress code, the employee was fired.
But another Rami Levy employee delivered a grocery order to an Israeli customer wearing the shirt.
In another unbelievable scene, two Israeli-Arabs wearing the shirts showed up at the Bituach Leumi branch in Hadera. Apparently, although they want to show their support for armed opposition against the “occupying forces,” they still want to be financially supported by the State.
Even Israeli-Arab children at the park have been seen wearing the shirts.
Many Israeli social meida users have been posting photos of Arabs wearing the shirts and asking Israelis to not remain silent and to report all sightings of Arab workers with the shirts and complain to their employers.
The trend has spread beyond shirts, with pants and even shoes spotted with the M-16 printed on them.
The shirts are particularly popular in the terror-infested Jenin.
After the attempted stabbing at the Old City of Jerusalem on Wednesday night, one of the Arab children who fled from the scene was wearing the shirt.
In response to the shirt, the Lehava organization printed shirts with an image of a noose and the words: “Death to terrorists.” The shirts are being sold for 45 shekels each.

Good, do not remain silent to these wicked scum of the earth and its about time we stop being afraid!
What us thus? The t shirt war? A person who wears a shirt like that should be fixed or jailed. No different than a swastika shirt. We are better than that – don’t fight t-shirts with t-shirts. Being fired, fined and incarcerated and possibly lose citizenship? Those hurt.
Where us there an Arab Israeli voice to condemn it? Too afraid of assassination.
Yesh Chessed is wrong to continue employment of a worker who creates a threatening environment.
Where Are you Hashem??? Where?
It would be more appropriate for Jews to start wearing the same shirt in support of the IDF. Take the enemy’s campaign away from him. If it becomes a symbol for supporting the IDF then they’ll have to stop wearing it.
Definitely buying one of the death to terrorist shirts
Please let’s have suggestions as to what an Arab state like Saudi Arabia
Dubai or Qatar Iraq would do if workers dared wear something like
this
The Israeli government should make it a prison-able offence to wear one
They should ban all workforce from Gaza for a month every time a shirt is
worn in public
It’s about time Israel starts treating the Palestinians the way the world says we treat them
Imagine the reaction by media and leftists and police if Jews were wearing an analogous type outfit to revel in (for example) the Duma arson attack.
Well creating your own t-shirt doesnt help. Just fire all of them and take away their citizenships.
Anyone who promotes the death of innocent civilians doesnt belong in Israel.
Stop shopping at these places.
If the isrealy cops can bear weapons the arabs are allowed to wear this shirts.
If JayD can post slander against Jews, HaShem can strike him down.
Jay D I can’t stand it. Learn how to spell u ignoramos fool before you have an opinion.
