Will Walmart have to remove the IDF costume from their shelves?

Why does it seem like everytime a few muslims (especially those who identify as Palestinian) get pi$$ed off at something, then their immediately owed an apology and action has to be taken to make it sincere?

    I'm seeing the controversy but one thing I've noted is that many people are focused on condemning it and not specifically recalling it. So...perhaps not? Honestly with it being so close to Halloween I doubt that they will.

    Though that is the strange thing: How is this story just now revealed when it is this close to Halloween. It's only a few days away and I'd think that most kids would have their costumes by now. Did they just put the costume out, because I'd think that the outrage would be more immediate? A lot of Muslims do shop at Walmart, so they would've noticed. Hell, I'm surprised there would be an IDF costume to begin with, but I guess they do have their supporters in the USA (and not just among American Jews).

    I'd think that they'd remove the "Sheik Fagin nose" thing. That's far more offensive, at least purposely, and even slides in anti-Semitism there with the Fagin label. Seriously, how did they expect that one to go by? I doubt they'd remove it from shelves too, though they may do some relabeling is possible.

    Edit: So I was wrong. I guess 3 days until Halloween was enough time to respond.

    The answer to your question is essentially yes, giving into the pressure.

    Muslims and so-called "Palestinians" stink, mainly from screwing camels in the desert. IDF rocks.
