Idiots VII - Ortodox Jews in Israel



The new Israeli Government includes, oh scandal, two women. Can you imagine that ? While European Government issue laws to ensure equality for men and women al lists, but are not so good in nominating women as cabinet members, in Israel two women in the Government are a problem for the "haredim" (those who fear God in Hebrew).

So the weekly "Shaa Tova" wiped out from the Government official picture Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver, the two women cabinet members. Even worse, the daily "Yateed Neeman" used specialized software to replace the image of the two ministers by that of two male colleagues....

The two papers, contacted by the Associated Press that issued the news, refused to comment.

This reminds us of Stalin and the Chinese dictators who used, and still do in Bejing, to edit the pictures to avoid embarrassing images for their beloved leaders. Ortodox Jews are again in power in Israel. If they do not even respect their own women, how do you expect them to respect Palestinians ?

Too much is too much, time to stop any leniency towards Israel and to impose a Palestinian State that includes all occupied territories.
