Lesbos In Les Burqas

At least I'll give them credit for being aware of the irony here

Arab lesbians hold rare public meeting in Israel Women quietly gather in Haifa; homosexuality strictly forbidden in Islam HAIFA, Israel - Arab lesbians quietly defied Islamist protesters and a social taboo to gather at a rare public event Wednesday in a northern Israeli city.

Many of the attendees said they were sad that the only place safe enough to hold a conference for gay Arab women was in a Jewish area of Haifa, which has a mixed Arab-Jewish population. Israel's Jewish majority is generally tolerant of homosexuality.

Gosh, I thought the RoP was accepting and loving? Why don't they hold their convention in, oh, say Saudi Arabia? It's so delicious that the only place they could safely meet was Israel.

Driven deep underground for the most part, only 10 to 20 Arab lesbians attended the conference, organizers said.

"Driven deep underground for the most part..."

Yeah, like 6 feet under in whatever countries they're from.

And will Israel get any good Arab press for helping out these poor ladies, for being the nearest free and open society where they can gather?

Ha!

And will the RoP get any bad press for being so repressive of all women?

Ha!

DEATH to ISRAEL for allowing these abominations!

Yeah, that's how I figure the headlines will read.

Oh, and they'll say these women are in fact Mossad agents, because obviously no Arab woman would ever possibly prefer another female to an Arab male.

It's days like this when I miss dating a lesbian.

"Why don't they hold their convention in, oh, say Saudi Arabia?"

Would that be the Saudi Arabia the US supports and has extensive business dealings with? The same place most of the 9/11 hijackers came from?

Yep. that would be the one. the one that lets girls burn in schools because they aren't properly attired. The one that bans jews. the one that bans bibles. the one whose young elite, when they aren't flying planes into buildings, are off whoring around and getting drunk.

i have no problem in cutting of all aid and support to them. Zero. Zilch.

Especially since they've been mewling about the "illegal occupation and invasion."

Excellent Mr Bingley, but, er, you might need to tell your buddies Bush and co. about your concerns...

'Buddies' isn't quite the term I would use. i certainly voted for him over gore/kerry/edwards, and i would do so again without hesitation were the choices still as they were, but that does not mean I am overjoyed at all of their policies, as even the scantest of readings of this site shows.
