Can porn succeed where politics has failed?
An Israeli porn site is proving surprisingly popular with Web surfers in a number of Arab countries, some of which don't have diplomatic relations with Israel.
Ratuv, Hebrew for "wet," specializes in producing skinflicks with topical political themes, typically featuring scenes involving female soldiers, Mossad agents and members of the military.
After installing software that could detect where users are logging on, managers of the site found they were receiving thousands of hits a week from folks in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, even though the Israeli net domain .il is blocked from some of these countries.
"We were amazed to find a huge amount of our users from these countries," says Nir Shahar, who manages the site. "We cannot accept money from many of these countries, so they can't download the films. They can only look at the pictures."
To make up for the lack of local download access in those countries, Shahar decided to translate the entire site into Arabic, with detailed descriptions of each scene and plenty more pics. Traffic went up tenfold, with the site receiving up to 100,000 hits a week from Arab auds.
The most popular movie on the site is "Code Name: Deep Investigation," an X-rated parody of the arrest of dissident Israeli nuclear scientist Mordechai Vanunu, who spilled the beans on Israel's secret nuclear weapons program in the 1980s. He was eventually caught by Mossad agents, who sent a beautiful female agent to trap him.

“The Internet is for porn! The Internet is for porn!
“Why you think the Net was born? Porn! Porn! Porn!”
Why would arabs have to bother visiting an Israeli site (and presumably go to the trouble of defeating the site blockers) for porn when it’s everywhere on the net? Something is strange about this story.
I have to agree. One could time in seemingly random and non-sexual words like “Lobster tourniquet fern” into a search engine and the result would be porn. There’s more to this story that doesn’t meet the eye.
I’m sure the reason is that it indulges their fantasies of dominating the Jews.
Its been reported before, so I’m sure its true. I think it has to do with a “domination of the jews” complex that these radical muslims often preach. You get my drift....
Sounds more like Arab males would like to be dominated by Israeli female soldiers.
BTW anyone who ever was in one of the Arab states at the Gulf (Emirates or Saudi Arabia) can tell you how obsessed Arabs are with Porn.
LOL! And now I have you to thank for the fact that I will be spending the rest of the day humming that! :P
“Arab people usually see female Israeli soldiers in a bad situation, so there’s a lot of curiosity to see what Israeli girls look like without any uniforms,” says Shahar. “We don’t make regular porn films. Our films parody the situation in Israel, so we look at issues like the elections here and Mossad. There is a lot of relevance to the Arab-Israeli situation.”

My imagination is doing chin-ups. The possibilities are endless.
Maybe Hany Abu-Assad and Bero Beyer, who gave us “Rana’s Wedding,” and “Paradise Now” (the suicide bomber flick the smart set so loved) can work under pseudonyms and churn out a series of Israeli/Arab porn. Think of the possibilities. We can all unite in our mutual desire for naked chicks going at it.

It goes both ways, JPost had an article about the seamy side during the height of Intafada II. Jewish men would patronize ethnic arab hookers for the same reason.
“Arabs are with Porn.”
Mohammad did marry a nine year old girl and had lots of what we call sex parties today. He is evil and that is their history.
How many internet jihadis could denounce web-porn with a straight face?
Arab hookers. Eeewwww.

FYI.
Well of course this is great. I mean people always have a deepeing respect for the subject of pornographic materials after viewing them. Right?
