re: #7 Zionist Lord of Remulak

As to the notion that somehow six year old girls can be dressed immodestly being impossible, you are displaying your ability for dogma to blind you. If you were to go into many department stores in America, you will find skimpy bikinis for little girls. That is honestly disgusting. I get that your dogma prevents you from seeing why it is wrong to sexualize a little girl in that manner. I get that you can’t see anything wrong with convincing them that sexualization at that age is ok, but it really isn’t O.K.

From the article:

According to a Maariv report on Monday, six-year-old girls must wear shirts that cover their elbows “even when raising their hands” and skirts that cover their knees “even when sitting.” The little girls must also wear long and loose pants during physical education classes.

Yeah, Ludwig - bikinis….right - that’s what this is all about. Pathetic.

Your irrelevant little dig with your biased, and not quite completely truthful Einstein post, is humorous and a sign that you really are off your rocker. Do you think that Einstein’s long love/hate relationship with religion would hurt my feelings?

Well you were pretty quick to ‘demote’ Einstein to a lower status of scientific acheivement than Newton (a believer) in response. And you don’t seem to be too happy with the established fact that Einstein was an atheist, suggesting it is somehow untrue.

And it is entirely relevant - you seem to be seething with hatred for atheists these days - not to mention ‘lefties’ - so it’s quite natural to ask if this extends to Einstein as well, who after all was both an atheist and a lefty.

As to misogyny in Israel… I think it should be pointed out that Israeli women enjoy a larger share of the franchise and have more rights than their counterparts in America or Europe. They were elected to high government office - long before Thatcher was in Britain. They have served in the military since the beginning. They have a higher percentage of professorships, M.D.s, Ph.D.s and other advanced degrees than in America or Western Europe.

So when we see evidence of actual misogyny we should ignore it, because Israel’s cool, right? And if there is a growing fundamentalism that is pushing it, we should ignore that, too?

Your sick article that you point out that you agree with as a special point compares their situation to that of women in Iran.

The article does no such thing. Your endocrine system is clearly so overstimulated you can’t even read properly anymore. Here is the line you are talking about, from this ‘sick’ article:

It’s wonderful that Bibi prefaces every speech he makes with words about Iran but perhaps he should look a little closer to home for there are domestic enemies gaining in strength on his watch.

The writer is suggesting that the growing influence of fundamentalist, anti-enlightenment forces in Israel is perhaps a greater threat to Israel’s future than Iran. Given what my Israeli friends are telling me, and what I’ve been reading recently about this growth of fundamentalism in Israel from the treatment of women to the gedolim adopting creationism, I am forced to agree.

They don’t want to see Israel flushing it’s future down the pan by turning into a fundamentalist shithole, and nor do I.
