“We are trying to react to current events… But we reject violence in any form.”
English language Israeli news website Ynetnews reports that one of Tel Aviv's most popular gay party organisers, Drek, has used imagery associated with ISIS beheadings in recent advertising.
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".
Some condemned the images for how they would reflect on Israelis.
