You know that dramatic picture of various world leaders marching in Paris in support of freedom of the press. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was in the front row next to the French president.
The Israeli newspaper, HaMevaser, photoshopped Merkel out of the lineup. The paper also removed the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, and the Simonetta Sommaruga, the president of Switzerland.
Evidently ultra Orthodox Jews will lose “the purity of eyes” if they look at a photo of a women, even Angela Merkel.
So, a front page article about a march to protest religious zealotry ends up as an example of religious zealotry. I just don’t get religion.
