Which side is less hypocritical? The US doesn't care how many Saudi women are raped or tortured, just so long as the oil keeps flowing. The Saudi's don't give a rat's ass how much the Palestinians suffer, so long as they keep on getting rich selling their oil.
Saudi Women Get The Vote

The U.S. is not doing the raping and torturing of Saudi women. BTW: I know a few people who worked in Saudi Arabia and there are so many horror stories, e.g. Filipino maids being raped and beaten.Which side is less hypocritical?

Giving them the vote, allowing them to enter contacts, letting them drive. I don't like the looks of this.
Women are just like men, but without accountability and reason, which is why we must treat them like children. Pay their way, open doors, plan the day, help them with their coats, vote for them etc. Maybe I am just a gentleman, but dag-nabbit tis indeed what I believe.

The CBC had this quip in the lead in to "The Current" today or yesterday, paraphrasing:
Women in Saudi Arabia have finally won the right to vote. Currently all a woman in Saudi Arabia has to do to vote is show up at a polling station and produce her drivers licence as ID.

Now, if we can only get Jewish women the right to divorce their husbands without their permission.The CBC had this quip in the lead in to "The Current" today or yesterday, paraphrasing:

Hey everybody! Look -- that's what hate does.Now, if we can only get Jewish women the right to divorce their husbands without their permission.
Or allow Jewish women in Israel to marry a man they love who is christian in Israel. They forbid it, you know.The CBC had this quip in the lead in to "The Current" today or yesterday, paraphrasing:

Why don't the Muslims in Israel allow interfaith marriages? It's entirely up to them, they set out their own marriage law. They also choose not to allow it.Or allow Jewish women in Israel to marry a man they love who is christian in Israel. They forbid it, you know.
Good point. Also, have any Muslimsconverted to Christianity and lived to tell about it?Why don't the Muslims in Israel allow interfaith marriages?
Good question because it allows us to focus on the source of problem. As usual, it's the Israeli government. That's why we've been talking about Israel. Right, doofus?Why don't the Muslims in Israel allow interfaith marriages? It's entirely up to them, they set out their own marriage law. They also choose not to allow it.
It is the Israeli government that does not allow secular marriages. That's why Israeli's have to travel to modern, civilized counties to marry out of their faith. These are Israel's primitive, racist Miscegenation Laws.
Laws created by the dominant majority. Now, who are they?
In Canada, that Jewish woman could marry the Christian man she loves. Our government does not discriminate and enables it. She wouldn't have to run to another country to do it.
Actually Isreali marriage laws are the leftovers from . . the Ottoman empire. something that was never changed by the British Mandate.
Each religion in Isreal in in charge of the marriage laws for their own communities, and very very few religions have any sort of interfaith procedure of any kind. And if the Religious authority one belongs too says,sorry you can't marry that Christian chick, then they cannot marry as Israel has yet to institute civil marriage.
What does this have to do with the issue at hand ? If a Saudi woman travels abroad to Toronto, takes and passes a driver's ed course and manaages to get a driver's licenses, when they return the authorities won't pull them over and say
"Oh you have an Ontario Driver's license ? I'm sorry move along, move along"
In Isreal as stupid as their marrage laws are, a Gay couple can leave the country, get married, and have that marriage recognized in Israel...( We should be using this to get gay couples to get married and spend their honeymoon in Niagara falls ) Now if a gay couple in Saudi Arabia tries that, I doubt that will go over very well.

Speaking of Niagara Falls, another woman fell into the river to-day.spend their honeymoon in Niagara falls )
I can laugh at myself. I am not a Jew, more Jew-ish.It seems like you may be the most humor less person on terb. At least the jews know how to laugh at themselves.
You are right, it is pathetic and sad. SA is a backwards place. Hopefully women gaining the right to vote will be a step towards increasing their influence and say over their society, and thus a step towards ending some of those other problems.
I wouldn't go so far as to say "Medieval" because if you are honest women in Europe and America faced similar restrictions well into the Victorian era. It didn't really change for women here until they got the right to vote and started electing candidates who promoted their interests.
Plainly SA has a long way to go, they're a good 150 years behind us in terms of their respect for women, I'd say.[/QUOTE does anyone else see the irony here?
Except for the laws that outlaw marrying Palestinians, those were passed in 2003 and then renewed a couple of time since.Actually Isreali marriage laws are the leftovers from . . the Ottoman empire. something that was never changed by the British Mandate.
I love how grog and gryf have become so concerned about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia that they have made sure to blame Israel.
(and with lies that have been fully exposed in other threads - maybe they hope that people in this thread didn't see where they got exposed in the other thread)

Nope, you fucked up again, that isn't why. Israel only allows religious marriages, but there is nothing preventing the Arabs marrying a Muslim and a non-Muslim in one of their religious marriage ceremonies.Good question because it allows us to focus on the source of problem.
Israeli Arabs choose not to allow that.
Cite the law that makes it illegal to marry Palestinians. I suspect you are once again talking about some unrelated topic, like immigration of non-citizens, or something like that.Except for the laws that outlaw marrying Palestinians, those were passed in 2003 and then renewed a couple of time since.
Let's give you a basic lesson in civics, lickspittle. It is not the job of religions to provide civic marriage, it is the job of the government.Nope, you fucked up again, that isn't why. Israel only allows religious marriages, but there is nothing preventing the Arabs marrying a Muslim and a non-Muslim in one of their religious marriage ceremonies.

If you need an example, let me suggest Canada. You are familiar with the country you live in, are you not?
