Bikini-Clad Activists Crash Tel Aviv Beach Party
<snip>

"Bikini-clad activists from the women's group CODEPINK covered themselves in mud and stood outside the Israeli Ministry of Tourism's Tel Aviv Beach party in Central Park on Sunday.

El Al Israel Airlines turned the bandshell into Israel's mediterranean beach to celebrate Tel Aviv's 100th Anniversary and the first day of summer.

The beach was complete with games, tanning spots, and a rock concert.

The protest grabbed attention as they chanted, "Tel Aviv - you can't hide, we can see your dirty side!" CODEPINK states the mud they covered themselves in was to represent the "dirty policies Irsrael holds towards Palestine."

Holding pink umbrellas outside the artificial Tel Aviv Beach, the women held signs that read, "Say no to Israel's war crimes.

The Tel Aviv Beach Party was sponsored by the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Consulate General of Israel in New York, Israel Ministry of Tourism, Israel Government Tourist Office in New York, and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Centennial Administration."

1. Holy Shit! Humongous cojones!

What IS the mission of Code Pink?

Now they want to influence Israelis? No, bad idea. IMO.

2. Finally, hot CODEPINK protesters!
Unlike those ones who stripped down naked at Hillary Clinton's campaign office (or whatever it was of Clinton's) last year.

:scared:

7. Then again, I heard YOU stripped down naked at Hillary's campaign office
(but it wasn't political...you were just halfway through a week-long pub crawl).
