Kosher Adultery in the Jewish State

Let's pretend for a moment that the Israeli media was not negatively biased towards observant Jews, towards Jews who are against giving away land to those who seek to destroy us, or towards Jews who believe in the right of Jewish People to live in a Jewish State throughout the Land of Israel - as proud Jews.

Let's pretend for a moment that Israel's media was objective, fair & balanced in covering all things political.

Even in this dream world, Israel's media would still pose a grave threat to the Jewish State of Israel.

Consider the following article found in the "Singles" section of today’s Yediot Achronot: The pros-and-cons of adultery

Everyone tries to find excuses for their choices in life, but there are some that do it with commendable creativity. Here is a collection of arguments “for and against” adultery. You won't find this in the Torah.

Following my first (illegal) time, I stayed in bed and filled my pillow with tears... So after I wet the pillow, I fell asleep. When I got up I wasn’t the same person. I knew that I woke up to a different reality, one which you are either in it – or you’re not. In time, and because of the advantages involved, I chose to stay in that reality. And today, as an experienced veteran, I have put together some words of wisdom, and insights into why you should go ahead and do it. Honestly? At least for me, these arguments are the winners, big time.


The author of the article proceeds to list 20 reasons why one shouldn't commit adultery, and 33 reasons why one should - with him personally coming out in favor of cheating on one's spouse.

Or, how about this article from Ha'aretz entitled My life as Don Juan , an article about how men can learn to seduce women.

Here's another article from Yediot Achronot entitled The neighbor's grass is pinker focusing on the dating challenges of a Jewish gay male in Israel.

What values is the media industry promoting for the Jewish State?

Adultery?

Seduction?

Homosexuality?

Could it be that the glorification of these values might be the reason for headlines such as these (and for many of the social ills that currently exist in the Jewish State)?:

Marriage becomes less popular, family rights 'ignored'

Sharp rise in sex offenses by minors

Men: Provocative women asking for it

Half of Israeli men believe women who dress provocatively are looking to be sexually harassed, a new study reveals

United Jewish Front leader begs local beauty queen Linor Aberjil not to marry her boyfriend, non-Jewish NBA player Sarunas Jasikevicius, and 'divorce the Jewish people'

For those in favor of the State of Israel existing as a Jewish State, is it enough for there to merely be a Jewish majority for the State of Israel to be considered a Jewish State if many of the values and ideals in the country are based on foreign cultures and value systems that are antithetical to Judaism and a Jewish State?

While our attention is seemingly focused on issues such as demography and borders, the Jewish State is being destroyed from within.

Wake up!

This is outrageous. Thanks Ze'ev for pointing this out.

I disagree with you in some issues, but I stand with those who say that family and respect is the most important thing in the daily life, right next to praising God. And a Jew must marry a Jewess.

But the most important thing now it's that all Jews focus in one big issue, because in Israel and in the Diaspora there's a river between religious and secular Jews. We can't fight two wars, one with the enemy and one with ourselves. I am a Masorti Jew, and I understand that it's hard for you and a secular to get along and fight for Israel as one. Times are hard.

emanuel ben-zion, The Chilonim have been waging war against the Daati for Decades. The Daati have just (finally) woken up and realized this.

What do you mean by Masorti, do you mean traditional or conservative?

This is outrageous. I have a bigger issue with adultery than homosexuality (I'm actually surprised you threw that one in, it took away from the rest a bit - it's a seperate issue). It sickens me that someone could be so selfish.

Ze'ev - the media plays this up because it SELLS. $$$$$$$. The only way to stop it is to buy only newspapers that do not have this kind of content.

actually, it doesnt seem to sell. In the US the media keeps getting sleazieer and they keep making less money each year.

Once a question is posed eg: is adultery ok, it doesn't matter which side the aurthor supports. The question itself cuases the offence.

Ze;ev:

Get a grip on reality please. Because some of the media print articles about gay youth and teens, you insinuate this could be part of the reason why women are harassed and violent crimes against women? What on earth does homosexuality have to do with the downward spiral of violence in youth and of violence against women in particular? Could it be that you claim to be religious and tolerant but are really just a biggot?
