The American Jewish Congress submitted this understated advertisement about the status of women in Israel to Ms. Magazine. Underneath the attractive photographs of Israel's foreign minister (Tzipi Livni), Supreme Court president (Dorit Beinish), and speaker of the Knesset (Dalia Itzik), the ad reads: "This is Israel." I think it is fair to say that in most parts of the United States it would be deemed an utterly innocuous ad.

Ms. rejected the ad. Yesterday the AJC issued this press release with the following comments:

"What other conclusion can we reach," asked Richard Gordon, President of AJCongress, "... a significant number of Ms. Magazine readers -- are so hostile to Israel that they do not even want to see an ad that says something positive about Israel?"

When Director of AJCongress' Commission for Women's Empowerment Harriet Kurlander tried to place the ad, she was told that publishing the ad "will set off a firestorm" and that "there are very strong opinions" on the subject -- the subject presumably being whether or not one can say anything positive about Israel.

Susie Gilligan...the magazine “would love to have an ad from you on women’s empowerment, or reproductive freedom, but not on this.”

Well, they aren’t flattering photos. The women aren’t even smiling. THAT must be why Ms. rejected it. /sarc>

If the AJC knew the ad would be rejected and was merely setting Ms. up for the bad publicity fine. If they really intended to purchase an advertisement in the magazine, shame on them.

“(Liberals hate Israel )”

And most “feminists” and “liberals” are all hypocrites too.

I didn’t even know they still published Ms. How do they survive with 10 subscribers?

The last time I remember a pop culture reference to Ms was in the old 1970’s sit-com One Day At A Time.

It’s obviously been rejected because those women refuse to assert their femininity by stripping naked and inserting vodka bottles where vodka bottles don’t belong.

You’re right and I don’t know why more of them, the “liberals”, so called feminists, Europeans, etc. just don’t get it about Islamofascism/Nazism.

I don’t call it the global war on terror, I call it the Islamofascist/Nazi war on Western civilization, freedom, rational thought and reason.

And yet the majority of Jewish people are liberal and wholeheartedly support liberal positions. Go figure.

And yet...
And yet the Jewish community still overwhelmingly supports Liberal causes in general and the Dimocrat Party...

You beat me with the same thought by just seconds!
LOL!

But what can you say about a people that love their persecutors and hate their sympathizers?
