Purim Enlists Too

In this coming holiday of Purim, super heroes and Disney princesses - out,
(male and female) soldiers, (male and female) police officers - in. Each
year, the (most) popular costumes represent the prominent trends of the
passing year, the big stars, successful movies, so it’s no wonder that after
five months of the ‘individuals’ intifada’, the most sought after costumes
are those of the defense forces. The militant trend of Purim two thousand
sixteen has no gender either. According to sales records, the youngest
(female) lieutenant colonel in history, six year old Ofir, is expected to meet
lots of tiny women soldiers like her, but they won’t look exactly the same,
since marketing networks made sure to leverage the patriotic potential. So
even though the holiday of costumes is a once-a-year opportunity to take
off the school uniform and go crazy with a variety of colors and fantasies,
children of Israel actually prefer wearing a uniform this year. All that is
left now is learning how to salute.
