Speaking at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Monday, the 71-year-old took aim at cases of ultra-Orthodox Jews targeting women.

"It's distressing to read about women in Israel being forced to sit in the back of the bus," she said, "or when we hear about 'Women of the Wall' having metal chairs thrown at them when they attempt to peacefully and legally pray."

She was referring to isolated incidents in which ultra-Orthodox men tried to force women to sit separately at the rear of buses that go through their neighbourhoods, as well as more serious clashes in which ultra-Orthodox Jews tried to prevent women donning prayer shawls and carrying Torah scrolls from praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest site where Jews can worship.

According to traditional Orthodox Jewish practice, only men wear prayer shawls and handle Torah scrolls, though that is slowly changing in some places. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who cut themselves off from the rest of society but wield disproportionate power in government and religious affairs, fear that allowing women to make such inroads will erode their authority.

Well , she has the right to her opinion. But when it comes to maltreatment of women, Islam takes the cake.
Sitting on the back of the bus is nothing compared to not being able to work, not being able to go to university, forced marriages. Disgusting.

Hadarat Nashim is now considered officially illegal in Israel. therefor I think the fact that she brought it up is kinda pointless.

But as said above, she has the right to her opinions. Nothing wrong with that.

But then again, Josi gets off every time Jewish behavior is in the blacklight:cool:
 
Josy vigorously searches the internet on a daily basis for any little dirt on Israel, so he can post it here and say "Look look look guys ! Israel is evil ! "
