IDF is one of the most amazing military forces in the world, why wouldn’t I want my son to represent people who would do anything to save lives of civilians and protect their country. User “RS DEE” rated the item five stars and wrote, “Awesome costume!!! I will be buying this for my son and my nephews. The IDF child soldier costume is still linked for sale, however, via A mazon, where the ratings have become a battle of commenters for and against the outfit. We’ve removed the costume fast and will work with that seller to see how this made it onto our site. At that time, a PR representative for Walmart said that the costume “was sold by a third-party marketplace seller, and it obviously had no business at all being on our site based on our Prohibited Products Policy (which includes Offensive costumes). Both items were sold on behalf of smaller retailers, which was also the case with the “Little Amigo” costume that stirred controversy and was removed from in late September (though an adult Serape costume - guns and mustache not included - is still for sale). Walmart could not be reached for comment on Wednesday, and there has been no official statement from the company about the removal of the costumes from its site, but the links no longer work. STORY: Party City at Center of Controversy Over Halloween Kids’ Costumes “Walmart’s webpage for the item suggests that the nose is ‘perfect for an Arab Sheik,’ perpetuating racist tropes that have long been used to demonize, otherize and alienate Arab communities throughout history.” “The glorification of Israeli soldiers juxtaposed with the mockery of Arab people promotes an anti-Arab racism that is all too common in America,” the ADC said. These outcries come on the heels of another controversial costume item sold by Walmart, a large prosthetic nose titled the “Sheik Fagin Nose.” In a statement on Tuesday, American-Arab Anti-Discriminatory Committee (ADC) called on Walmart to halt the sale of these products.
