Israel women trafficking soars
Between 3,000 and 5,000 women have been smuggled into Israel in the past four years to work as prostitutes, according to a parliamentary inquiry.
The report described how the women are sold at public auctions for as much as $10,000 and forced to work up to 18 hours a day.
On average the women receive only three percent of the money they earn from prostitution, the report said.
Most of the women are from the former Soviet Union.
Many are raped and beaten as they are smuggled into Israel over the Egyptian border, the inquiry found.
Attitudes
Zehava Galon, of the opposition Yahad Party, presented the report to the speaker of the Knesset on Wednesday.
"We began this inquiry to investigate the extent of this phenomenon and raise political awareness of their plight and the brutal nature of the trafficking of women in this time of globalisation," said Ms Galon.
She said the biggest challenge in addressing the plight of women in the sex trade was changing the attitudes of the Israeli public and police.
The inquiry also criticised judges for passing light sentences, sometimes only community service, for men running prostitution rings.
The report called for minimum jail terms of 16 years for those convicted. London-based rights group Amnesty International and the US State Department have also reported an alarming increase in prostitution rings in Israel.

Not saying that it is right, but why are u only picking on Israel? Its not a Jewish thing. It happens all over the world.
There is nothing wrong with having Jewish Congressmen. They are Americans, not Israelis.Heath said:Whoa.... how many of our congressmen and senators today are jewish? I was shocked to see how many of them are jewish. Shouldn't they be governing over Israel and leaving America alone.

Heath said:I have had jewish women come up to me in the city and ask me to sign their petitions to stop prostitution activity in Israel and I did sign the petition.
True. Also, there is more to the story:hootster said:So? The same thing happens in Europe, United States, various Muslim countries, Thailand, etc.

OK. That happens sometimes.Heath said:Hi Reba, I did not except to be posting the message within mintunes of each other's posts. I was typing my response and I did not know you already were typing your response then you posted your response then I posted my response within 1 mintune of each other okay?
Reba said:Hey, I watch Fox News. Don't blame them for anti-Semitism.
Reba said:True. Also, there is more to the story:
Amnesty [International] said that Russian-based criminal gangs had used the influx of immigrants from the former Soviet Union into Israel as a cover to sneak in an estimated 10,000 prostitutes over the past decade.
Israeli officials maintain that the prosecution of pimps and gang members is difficult because some women fail to co-operate with the police.
Amnesty admitted that many of the women, who were illegal aliens, feared they would be jailed or deported without having a chance to apply for asylum under international law if they filed complaints with the police or testified in court.

There is no excuse for sex slavery, and the guilt touches many heads. However, it is not just a "Jewish" crime, and Israel is making efforts to crack down on it.
OK, I did.Heath said:
There is no USSR now, the communist system there collapsed, and Israel doesn't "have" any countries other than its own.Both. They go together. Today Israel has two countries The USA and the USSR. Jews like to work in opposite directions, that is their modi operandi. Remember how America tried to fight communism ? The USSR was fighting yankee imperialism ? What was Israel doing during those years I ask you ?
The japanese hated us then went to Hitler all on their own and Hitler went whoa.....
Did he tell you that?... I still think Hitler was not interested in America nor had he any reason to be.
Yes, Jesus Christ was not "politically correct", and He was bold in His statements. But He was also 100 percent correct in His knowledge and statements. He was Truth and spoke truth. No "opinions" or wrong perspectives. Jesus knew the score. He wasn't paranoid. Jesus could speak boldly because He was righteous AND right.Heath said:Here is something for you to think about on the topic of political correctness.
THE POLITICALLY CORRECT CHRIST?
Was Jesus politically correct? What a question! It must be asked however. The reson it must be asked is simply that ALL True Christians should seek to emulate Christ. Similarly all true churches should seek to be like Christ. And since we see such an effort to be so unoffending, and so, well...politically correct, the question must be answered.
Let's define political correctness. First of all it is hypocritical and deceitful. It means that you will seek to avoid offending at all costs. In fact, to avoid offending is better than to speak the truth. That is if your goal is to be "PC". This is where terms like "Alternative Lifestyles"are used as replacements for "homosexual partnerships", and "Undocumented Immigrant" for "Illegal Alien".
Neither one was as much of an issue in Jesus' time as they were today. But what was a big issue was the desecration of the temple by thieves, and the dilution of God's Word by the Pharisees and Sadducees. Read the following scriptures and tell me whether Christ was worried about being "PC".
...Christ was pretty clear in how He dealt with that which was scripturally wrong. He was a kind and gentle man at times, but an "in your face" teacher when challenged. He didn't worry that the Pharisees would go home and feel offended, nor did He concern Himself with their "self-esteem". He told it like it was and said what was on his mind. That is how we must be and not like some pusilanimous nice-guy-at-all-costs preachers whose only goal is to make sure they offend no-one as they teach wrong doctrine.
Was Christ politically correct? Absolutely not! Let us be likewise.
Heath said:Not gonna happen because you know I am speaking the truth here and none of you like it. I do speak the truth from time to time to give you a dose of old fashioned reality that really does work. When people do not like something they see then they will say it is silly and mock, even when the person is telling the truth like it is. That is because they have nothing else to say so they fall back on making fun of somebody else.
