Labour Goes Latex

Actually, I think they did this back in the 1999 elections:

Labor youth hand out condoms to avoid being 'screwed by Netanyahu'

The headquarters of the young activists on behalf of the Labor Party will hold a meeting over the weekend to discuss the creative and "naughty" activities they may take upon themselves to promote the party ahead of the February 10 elections... A discussion will be held on the role of the young activists in the campaign.

"The idea of the seminar is to examine how we as young people can take action," said Labor youth chairman Maayan Amodai. "Naturally we're the ones who will choose to do more crazy things, and will try to be naughtier and do things that the party itself wouldn't be as comfortable doing.

Among the naughty campaign plans is to hand out condoms at an event hall where rival party Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak, under the slogan "don't let Bibi screw you."


I, for one, would suggest Likud youth hand out rubber gloves and warn voters that if they think of touching a Labour Party election slip that they might catch something contagious and harmful.

P.S. You'll note that they didn't really hand out condoms but Haaretz wrote the headline as if it happened. Guess who is screwing who.
