Perhaps he should have offered to give her a high five.

I read it on the internet:
But, standing outside Sharon's residence, Houston did not shake hands with Israel's burly premier, leaving it to her husband the former singer Bobby Brown.

No it didn't. What's your problem?

WTF are they wearing?

African attire, which their hosts the Black Hebrews usually wear. I know some of them. I also have some African clothes myself.

It seems implausible that she would agree to meet with him, make a big show of it and not shake his hand. I think it is being misunderstood.

JERUSALEM (AFP) - US pop diva Whitney Houston (news) arrived in Israel's southern Negev desert to make a recording with the polygamous Black Hebrew sect, Israel army radio reported.

Houston, who arrived with her husband and former singer Bobby Brown (news) and their children, travelled straight to the desert town of Dimona, which is home to the 2,000-strong sect and renowned for being the site of an Israeli nuclear plant.

"I love you all!" she shouted as crowds of fans met her in the remote desert town.

Elders of the Black Hebrews said Houston would be recording a track about Israel with several members of the community, which is known for its choirs and singing groups.

The visit was also aimed at sending a message to African Americans that Israel was a safe place to travel to, they added.

Known as the Original African Hebrew Israelite Nation of Jerusalem, the Black Hebrews believe they are descended from one of the lost ten tribes of Israel as mentioned in the Bible.

Strict dietary laws forbid the consumption of meat and polygamy is permitted

The group first came to Israel in 1969, and since then, members have earned a living through their celebrated professional gospel choir and rhythm and blues singing troupes.

Two members of the community even represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1999.

They are also renowned for the brightly-colored clothing they make, and for the vegetarian food they produce at a factory in the area.

That is EXACTLY what the caption said. So now ask yourself what's your problem.

Maybe in this particular sect, maybe women defer to the men. I don't know, but I doubt she was making a political statement. Especially at his house.

Man, everybody's being real uncool and heavy on this thread.

Getting so you can't even post a picture of a couple of crackheads without getting jumped all over.

Shame on Yahoo News for using this misleading caption.

LOL. I can actually hear the lines being spoken.

Caption should read:

"Whitney, please spit out your gum!"

I just went and read info on the Black Hebrews. I suspect that what you are saying is correct, but whether she is doing it out of respect for those she is staying with who will see this or they are thinking of getting involved in this themselves is hard to know.

One thing for sure, from what I read this a much more productive and peaceful route than the blacks in prison who are turning to Islam and all its destructiveness. The Black Hebrews, although their roots and claims can be disputed, seem to just want to live in peace and mostly in the confines of strict Judaism to boot.
