According to the report, the organisers borrowed the striking imagery of kneeling victims in orange jump suits to advertise for a party called 'Drekistan at the Haoman' at a Tel Aviv nightclub last week.


"We are trying to react to current events. We have been doing it for a number of years. But we reject violence in any form and that includes the (execution) videos intended to scare the world," one of the organisers told Ynetnews.


The news report spurred Facebook users to brand the party advertising "sick" and "tasteless".
