NYT Equates Photo Retouching in Israel with Flogging A Woman in Pakistam

The NY Times is just relentless in its campaign to demonize Israel.

It carried a story with the headline: "Women Erased in Israel, Flogged in Pakistan and Restricted in Afghanistan." The Israel piece is that "Israeli newspapers 'aimed at ultra-Orthodox Jewish readers' digitally manipulated a photograph of the new Israeli government, to remove two female cabinet ministers," because Ultra-Orthodox newspapers consider it immodest to print images of women. The Pakistan story involves a woman flogged 34 times in front of a crowd.

Yeah, those are equivalent.
