Look closely:
Still can’t tell? Israel’s two female ministers were photoshopped out and replaced with men. Wow, just wow. Apparently this ran in an extremely Orthodox paper, but still. I think the cynical (or realistic) among us expect the media to twist/bend/distort the facts, but rewriting history? That’s sort of a big no-no.
I guess when you’re upset that your country is progressing in terms of gender equality and there’s nothing you can do about it, all you have left to do is pretend it’s not happening.

Hey! It’s the Knesset! I’m from Israel!We have a lot more fems this Knesset, (some of them are smoking hot, too :-P) – but truth is, gender equality isn’t half bad in secular Israel. It’s..um.. MEDIEVAL in the ultra-orthodox communities (sporting a few hundred thousand zealot parasites. Fuckers who use my tax-money to support their 15-children families while not serving in the army like I had to).When Zipi Livni, the leader of “Kadima”, Israel’s largest party, used banners showing her face and slogan throughout Israel, she omitted her face in all posters situated near the Ha’redim, the ultra-orthodox Jews. I find that a despicable kowtowing to a bunch of bible thumping kooks – but that’s what you have to do get elected in this country.
