Riviting interview about women who are trapped in marriages to Moslem men in Israel. The link with go to interview.
Very Bizarre. I wonder what is the attraction? Why get involved with some one who wants to destroy your people? Where are these girls' parents?
Agonizing over stupidity is a luxury I sure don't have.
Entering into marriage with a moslem man anywhere in the world is plain stupidity. Doing so in Israel borders on criminal insanity.
Apparently there are thousands of Jewish girls enticed into these marriages. The men are very charming at first. They give attention, spend money and make promises. The girls are in many instances poor and ignorant of Arabic/Moslem men and are enticed into this. After the girls are married, they become virtual slaves in the Moslem village. The woman in the interview said she was slapped by her husband 2 days after she was married.
Oh, and some of the male children from these marriages have grown up to become terrorists.
I knew a Jewish American woman in Los Angeles who married a Muslim from Egypt. They both believed they were progressive enough to make it work. Sadly, I never heard what happened to them after the marriage.
The girls are in many instances poor and ignorant of Arabic/Moslem men and are enticed into this.
Baloney! Friends of ours have a bright, well-educated daughter in a professional job who is madly in love with a Syrian Moslim thug right here in the U.S.! He treats her like dirt and her parents have been frantic for over TWO YEARS about the situation and have tried to talk sense into her repeatedly. Some women are just plain stupid when it comes to men, regardless of socio-economic, educational or cultural background!
So? American women are slapped by men and still marry/shack-up and have babies with them of their own free will.
Stupidity breeds all over the planet earth.
Not directed at you nachum but the article.
No offense taken.
You should give a listen to the whole interview though (assuming you have not). The woman who operates the non-profit in Israel that rescues these women would probably agree with you that the women are ignorant, aka stupid, of what lies in store for them. She was specifically talking about poor Israeli girls though as the majority, not all.
There is a palistinian at work and, when women aren't around, he brags about treating women like dirt. He claims women like guys like that.
Some women are attracted to *bad boys*. I have no idea why, but it's not uncommon.
susie
In the old days, the father would have held congress with Mr. Thug, with Mr. Winchester as the father's witness
Yeah, or the young woman's brothers would have had a private little 'meeting' with el thugo in an alley somewhere. Not today, unfortunately.
"Some women are attracted to *bad boys*."
That is the truth. I once volunteered at a battered women's shelter and several of the victims confessed that this was their weakness.
I listened to the interviews but did not write down the web address or phone numbers.
Could you kindly post this information?
??? Sadly....ignorance abounds....

Erin Pizzey started the first battered women's shelter in the UK in 1971. She had the chance to observe a great many battered women. She divided them into two major classes: the ones who got battered once and decided to leave, and the ones who kept going back.
In the latter class, she found that many of these women are addicted to the adrenaline rush associated with a dangerous relationship, in much the same way that some guys get addicted to the rush associated with dangerous sports and activities. Her book on her findings, Prone to Violence, is available online (She had trouble getting it published on paper because the feminist crowd tossed a fit at her findings)
Romeo and Juliet comes to mind. :)

Really? How and where was she "educated"?
A quotation from George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) may help:
"College doesn’t make fools. It only develops them. ... A fool will turn out a fool, whether [s]he goes to college or not, though [s]he’ll probably turn out a different sort of a fool.
