Debbie Schlussel: EXCLUSIVE/OUTRAGE: BOYCOTT "Miami Vice"--New Movie Defames Israeli Defense Forces
When it comes to drug dealers and illicit drug makers do you think of Columbian drug cartels . . . or Israeli Soldiers?!
In an outrageous choice from wardrobe, the latter is apparently what the new "Miami Vice" movie--a horrid, very long and boring remake of the '80s TV series, in theaters Friday--wants you to think. (Read my full review, Friday.)
In a scene toward the beginning of the 2-hour-plus movie, the Miami Vice guys bust a drug warehouse. The main drug dealer they arrest in the warehouse is wearing a giant Israeli Defense Forces T-shirt, just like the one pictured above. (I own one, and often wear it as a night-shirt). It features the Israeli abbreviation "Tzahal," which stands for Tzava HaGanah L'Yisrael--literally, "The Army That Defends Israel" or "Israel Defense Forces," as it is commonly known.
It's a quick scene and a minor detail, but I noticed it big-time. And the placement of the IDF T-shirt was deliberate and noticeable. Not to mention, GRATUITOUS! So, just how many Israeli soldiers wearing Tzahal/IDF shirts do you know? We don't know any either. And we've never read a single news report that there are any. At a time when Israeli soldiers are being held captive by Islamic terrorist groups and fighting for the very survival of Israel against these subhumans, it's hardly the time for a trashy '80s remake to defame them as drug dealers. In fact, it's never the time for that.
But don't tell that to the anti-Israel, PC phonies who run Hollywood. Show them in another way: BY BOYCOTTING "MIAMI VICE." Shame on Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx for allowing this propaganda.
