Sexism and the state of Israel

Catrina Stewart

January 10, 2012

The issue of creeping religious coercion over all aspects of Israelis’ lives has taken on huge importance in recent years as the ultraorthodox spread beyond their traditional communities in Jerusalem and outer Tel Aviv in search of cheap housing. But the situation recently reached a head in Beit Shemesh, a town near Jerusalem, when an ultraorthodox man spat at and verbally abused an eight-year-old girl, Naama Margolese, for what he considered was immodest attire.

Not for the first time, Israel’s Haredim find themselves under attack. Making up about 10 per cent of the population, this impoverished and fast-growing community has long been viewed as an economic drain on society, but now some fear that their influence is extending far beyond their ghetto-like communities.

In a potent display of their sense of persecution, an extreme Haredi sect living in Mea Shearim recently plastered yellow stars on their children in protest, a symbol of Jewish persecution from the Holocaust that resonates deeply with Israelis, and inspired widespread disgust.

Young men in Mea Shearim insist that those who inspire such hatred are an extremist minority who do not represent the Haredim as a whole. “I think modesty on the buses is okay,” says one, who works in a religious bookstore, “but to force that is not the way to behave.”

  1. Wow! An article about Israel sure brings out the expletives at a level of irrationalism seldom observed in reference to other nations or peoples. Post something about Chairman Mao or Stalin about their murder of tens of millions of Chinese Russian peasants, most who utter profanities about Israel, wouldn’t even postulate a peep. I do wonder however, why it is Alex cuts people off when they use foul language on air, while permitting same to persist in written comments. Seems like a contradiction. Indeed, ad hominum attacks emotionally charged coarse outbursts, are most often attempts to derail reasoned debate redirect attention away from the issue towards strawmen – or what often degrades into a school of red-herring.

    Having noted the foregoing, many secular Israeli girls dress like hookers imagine modesty to be an unfair restriction upon their personal liberties an antiquated notion, little admitting or even being conscious of modesty as the dignity of a woman, the foundation of a civil emotionally mature human society. Further, this girl exhibited a complete lack of respect for members of a religiously observant community, which few Americans today due to a lowering of western standards can appreciate, modesty tossed out as garbage in the sexual “liberation” of the sixties. One needs to refer to E. Michael Jones his book, Libido Dominundi, meaning how to achieve impose political dominance by a “liberation” of the sexual libido.

    Remember, the use of ALL CAPS in a name denotes a FICTION — a BRAINLESS ENTITY without conscience devoid of a human soul. They are those THINGS which appear to be, but are not.

    • Aw Elmy are you back at it again? Feigning incomprehension and diverting thoughts? Don’t worry, Chairman Mao, and Stalin don’t enjoy much popularity here, but since the Jews invented Communism and therefore wrote the playbook on mass murder, it shouldn’t take someone with your intellect to figure out why the rancor is a few orders of magnitude larger.

  2. This article is not honest of the true picture and distorts the orthodox community to make them look evil and bad. There are more orthodox Jews then 10%. Much, much more!!!

    The Jewish people are always depicted as being dirty and this is far from the truth. This article gives this fake image.

    In addition, Jewish children are not spat on by other Jews but looked at with much love.

    When is Alex going to give a true picture of Israel and the Jews? Why does he hate them so much?

    • This is very honest article – the truth is that Talmud should be burn – how can anybody accept the talmudic concepts?
      According to Talmud Rebbeca was only 2 years old when she was married to Isaak – pedophliy is legal in Talmud!
      According to Talmud non-Jews are less than animals!
      According to Talmud the entire world should work for this Jewish religious class – NWO is real in Talmud…

      Obviously – we should help these people to leave such criminal concepts and build a better world together – a world without religions, without leaders, without borders, without hierarchy…

      • more on Talmud on Jewish site: daatemet . org

  3. Israel also allows no Christians to become citizens. A prominent example is Barbra Streisand’s cousin, who was denied citizenship because he converted to Christianity.

    As for the holocaust: it’s a big lie to have a pretext for genocide of the Palestinensians and to enslave the Germans for the paying the Zionist’s cause.

    • This statement is very untrue. There are plenty of Christians living in Israel. Many of them are near the water where Jesus was said to walk on.

      • Christian children can even go to Jewish public schools – this is truth!
        Conversion is asked .. first!

    • youngearthcreationist

      Not too sure about Streisand’s cousin, but another reason the holohoax is sooooo necessary is to dilute intensity of the inspections into the millions and millions killed in Russia and China.
      I’ve heard that you get two years in jail for passing out Bibles publicly, but I’ve nothing but hearsay on that issue.

  4. Rothchilds are not true Zionists. They are corrupt sick human beings, just like the Rockefellers.
    Zionist is a follower of the God of the bible. Rothchilds are NOT followers of God.
    So don’t label them as zionists. They are not.

    • You don’t get it.
      Who paid for the Library in Israel?
      Who paid for the supreme court building?
      Who established the current country of Israel?

      Do some research!!!! Zion has been taken over by the satanists.

      It’s just semantics now. Zionist are the ones who support the current state of satanism.

    • Read: “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
      They an elite, of what is called, the greater land of Israel: ZION, have taken the Jewish people hostage as they have sold them out as slaves in the past. They, the international Jewish press, were first to declared war on Germany and boycott her exports, thus sacrificing the security of German Jewish people. The British-Zionist Agents are the elite funded by the Bank of England and thus the Rothschild. Who put the ZI in NAZI. It is the urge to go back and steal the land one has stolen before that is the true agenda of the Zionists or the rejected mongols. They are the white ghost. Even the bible describe the genocide warfare to steal the lands, all in the name of their false god. And then they sold us this book of trash, while we were searching for the teaching of Christ. Shucks, most of their gold was stolen from South America and later China.

      • They where also said to have taken the gold from Egypt, but I’m not certain. Even Fort Knox is missing Gold — replaced with tungsten bars. Very interesting….

  5. I don’t why these Anti-Israel Anti-Semetic articles keep popping up on infowars. The writer has no clue. The very title of the story, Sexism and the state of Israel. First of all, the Israeli government is at constant battle with the extreme orthadox in Israel. They cause all kinds of trouble. That being said, you can’t say Sexism and the state of Israel. It’s so funny how all these writers write these stories about Israel and have never been there. The Messianic Jews (Jews that believe in Jesus), Christian Arabs, and obviously Muslims live in Israel and tons of New agers. Israels meling pot is much bigger than most people realize.

    Its like saying Jermiah Wright represents all Christians. He obviously doesn’t. To make this case about is Israel is moronic.

    Adopt the Ron Paul philosophy on Israel leave it in and stop supporting terroist countries like the Gaza strip,Iran, Syria, Pakistan etc. Unfortunately Israel has become very liberal. You can’t say that the state is Israel is sexist . What about the Muslims in Israel??? These kind of articles aren’t good for Infowars, Ron Paul, and the Libertarian argument. I have noticed ever since Ron Paul has got heat for his position on Israel these articles keep popping up. The truth is Ron Paul is the strongest supporter for Israel out of all the candidates. Leave Israel alone!!!

    • Yes, peace in Israel is a meaningful objective. Their foreign policy, as is the US foreign policy, is more an artifact of the international crime cartel than the people. The Zionists should be wiped clear off the face of the Earth, unfortunately they have their Jewish Hostages to hide among. The Zionist have never done the Jewish people any favor they have not had to pay dearly for. Please don’t confuse the Zionist elite with the Jewish common people.

    • That’s because this website is edited by antisemites (duh).
      Still want to vote for Paul, knowing who his supporters are ?

  6. Oh god, they are the progenitors of the patriarchal male domination system since the middle kingdom of Pharaohs. The original Pharaohs where mainly female of Celtic (or Irish) origins who could trace their descendancy back to Atlantis before it sank. They called the Hebrew : people of the YEW, a greatly honored tree. 10,000 years ago the was a fairly equal balance between male and female elders. But as the gods of war descended the society on Earth became more male dominated.

    However this did not stop the Zionist from hijacking the women’s lib movement to use it for their own agenda. Now both parents, in an average family, have to work to pay the tax burden of the control parasites — who are the Zionist Satanists. Their sitting around all day playing money games does nothing for the real economy or productivity of the nation. They sit around and figure out how to screw the common folks, that is what they accomplish with their games. Every institution of society has become subservient to their degeneracy.

  7. What does this article choose to pick on a “ultra-orthadox” jews the “sexist” label ?

    The REAL jews ARE the Orthadox ones, like Rabii Weiss and are rightfully against Zionism.
    See: Jews Against Zionism.

    Rothschild Zionists run the Federal Reserve and the State of Israel as well.
    This should be the real resistance against them, and their war mongering ways.

  8. The ultra-orthodox Jew, as described in the article as living in ghetto areas, being supported by the state, and holding fast to their old ways, is the type of Jew that was despised by Theodor Herzl (one of the founding fathers of the modern state of Israel). He thought they were dirty, down trodden, unambitious, and envisioned a new ideal. That is not how it was in the Old Testament. The Jews of ancient Israel were supposed to strictly adhere to the Torah, for if they didn’t walk that narrow path, they would incur the wrath of an all powerful deity. That deity placed the man at the head of the household, even allowed for an institution of slavery and mass killing.

    What kind of Israel would it be without the Haredi? It’s not as if that land was historically full of secular Jews trying to eke out an existence while surrounded by fundamentalist Muslims. They were probably closer to the closed minded Haredi.

    I think it would be more like a Hebrew-speaking U.S.A. or Europe in the middle east, which is fine by many. Conveniently for Herzl’s ideology, many of the loathsome type of Jews who were the subject of his derision were alleged to have died in mass numbers at concentration camps in Europe during WW2, thus allowing for this new “secular” Jew to rise above the literal ashes and supplant the ‘undesirables’ in this new idealized state. The Haredi are like living relics over there, and maybe it is a sense of “nostalgia” or spiritual guilt that gives them any authority, moral or otherwise.

  9. The Zionists ARE the Rothschilds.

    • and Kotex too…

  10. If it becomes the European Jews vs. Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is finished. The Rothchilds are known to topple empires. The human rights violations in Israel towards women is not good.

  14. Idiots. These people are anti Zionists and are fighting the Israeli establishment, and your going and join sides with the liberal Zionist government and media and and Attack them? This is all part of the Zionist plan to stop religious freedom!

  15. Israel is attempting to build a religious state, similar to Saudi Arabia – but for Jews, with Bantustans full of Palestinian refugees all around them. It has become a bad joke on modern societym run by psychopaths.

    People should be reminded that there is no place for a religious state in the 21st century.

    • In Israel religion is politics, the right to practice crimes on others, and an insane occult who take themselves to seriously. Getting rich by financing wars is the devil’s work — it can only lead to the temptation of starting more wars. And that is what Israel is all about, apparently. They are a Rothschild puppet.

  16. So…Mea Sharim is the problem I take it!!! Oy vey!!! A bris for all!!! T-minus 8 days and counting!!! Jews for foreskin jihad!!! It’s all about the love I take it!!! L’chaim!!!

    • The American Civil War never happened. Just a ploy by the South to extract reparations from the North who wanted to enslave white Southerners put blacks in charge. WWII never happen either. Films pictures? British propaganda directed by Russian producers with an all star cast from 9/11 Faulty Towers. And oh yes, black is white. Let me see, was the WWII scene before or after 9/11? Or, does the 9/11 scene take place before or after the decline fall of the Roman Empire the flight of Peter Pan? Hail popcorn!

    P.S. Indeed , the whole world’s got it’s head up it’s ass !!!

  25. In an essay titled ‘On Israel and bombing’ written in 1970,Bertrand Russell says:

    “…The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. We are frequently told, “We must sympathize with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis.” What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy. Not only does Israel condemn a vast number of refugees to misery; not only are many Arabs under occupation condemned to military rule; but also Israel condemns the Arab nations only recently emerging from colonial status, to continued impoverishment as military demands take precedence over national development.

    All who want to see an end to bloodshed in the Middle East must ensure that any settlement does not contain the seeds of future conflict. Justice requires that the first step towards a settlement must be an Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied in June, 1967. A new world campaign is needed to help bring justice to the long-suffering people of the Middle East.”

  26. The last thing in the world the Jews want is attention.

    • Heil Werefeat.

  27. Yawn. Why didn’t the girl just pull a .357 out and make the nutjob move to the back of the bus? The world (outside of my neighborhood) is full of this crap. Nothing more than a bully picking on a girl.

    Zei Gesund

    • Speak english please.

  29. Now maybe people will see TRUTH

    • What truth is that? That religious extremists are ignorant and dangerous? About as ignorant and dangerous as are racists and bigots?

      • Any fool who believes in supernatural spirits and the parchment writings of illiterate goat farmers from thousands of years ago, are clearly reactionaries that are ignorant and dangerous.

      • barbarishka takes it in the ass

        • dont stoop to his level mate.
          Yes he is a donkey and should be treated like one but dont stoop
