'We're all Bibas this year': Store offers Batman costume for 10 shekels in honor of slain hostages

 Jerusalem Post  

"A Batman costume for kids and adults will be sold for only 10 shekels as a tribute to slain hostage, 4-year-old Ariel Bibas, who loved the superhero."

. . ." 'This is not about making money—this is a pure loss from my own pocket, but I want to do it," she explained. "I see in all the comments that there's a huge desire to dress up as Batman for Purim in honor of the Bibas family. So I got masks—one shekel each—just so TikTok on Purim will be filled with this mask."

"The whole country will be posting videos on Purim with Batman masks. We're all Bibas this year."

Why is the Batman costume so prominent in Israel today?

"The Batman costume has become closely associated with Ariel Bibas, who was tragically murdered by Hamas. The last Purim before he was kidnapped, Ariel dressed as Batman. At his kindergarten, he drew pictures of his favorite superhero and told his teacher he dreamed of "flying and saving people stuck in a pit." . . .

Sadly, here in America: Pro-Hamas vandals desecrate University of Michigan memorial to slain Bibas family 

   "A memorial honoring the Bibas family at the University of Michigan was desecrated with “Free Palestine” and an inverted red triangle.

"The memorial was painted on “The Rock” – a large boulder regularly repainted by UMich students – in orange with the names of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel written on it in memory of the three Bibases who were murdered in Hamas captivity. Their bodies were returned to Israel in the recent hostage-prisoner exchange deal, and they were buried last week.
