Cherche les femmes

[stockhausen]

Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers have altered a photo of Israel's new cabinet, removing two female ministers.

Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver were grouped with the rest of the 30-member cabinet for their inaugural photo.

But Yated Neeman newspaper digitally changed the picture by replacing them with two men. The Shaa Tova newspaper blacked the women out.

Doesnt seem so bad with this quote:

Publishing pictures of women is viewed by many ultra-orthodox Jews as a violation of female modesty.

Blacking them out is okay if you think that it's wrong to show pictures of women, but editing someone else in is a bit weird

Restrictions include using only Kosher telephones

What? They eat telephones?

No, it just means that they don't use those dodgy iPhone knock-offs you get on eBay.
