Women Photoshopped From Cabinet Picture To Cater To The Ultra-Orthodox
Two women serve in Israel's new Cabinet, but some Israelis would rather not see them.
Newspapers aimed at ultra-Orthodox Jewish readers tampered with the inaugural photograph of the Cabinet, erasing ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver.
Ultra-Orthodox newspapers consider it immodest to print images of women.
The daily Yated Neeman digitally changed the photo, moving two male ministers into the places formerly occupied by the women.
The weekly Shaa Tova simply blacked the women out, in a photo reprinted Friday by the mainstream daily Maariv.
No response was available from the two papers.
During the election, campaign posters featuring female candidate Tzipi Livni were defaced near ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods.

And they don't serve in the Israeli army.
Tell me precisely why I should be sending my tzedakah dollars to one of these mega charities that support families with 17 kids in Israel?
Or who, despite some doctor's warning, absolutely needed to have the 18th child which was born, nebach, with some really bad defect?

What a bad job too - the substitutes do not blend well and are off scale.

When I get a solicitation from these charities, I return the envelope with an article like this. I tell them that Jewish Taliban like themselves will never receive my support. I'd rather give my $$$ to the salvation army.

Did you notice that they replaced the faces of the women with faces of members that they cut out of the picture? Weird...
