Hundreds of Israelis protest prostitute's suicide

Ed-note (Sabba) – Tel Aviv has been ranked in October 2014 as ‘the second sexiest city on earth’. According to that report, “if you are single and looking for sex thrills, Tel Aviv is the second best place to go.  But if you are looking for gay sex and illicit sex with underage girls kidnapped in Eastern Europe and Russia, Tel Aviv is top of the list”.

How can we reconcile vice, prostitution and global debauchery with the concept of HOLY LAND, with the idea that GOD gave that land to them?

And will the jews also take the streets to voice their anger/opposition against the tens of thousands CHRISTIAN women who are held as sex slaves in the land of milk and honey?

About 600 people demonstrated Saturday night near a brothel in Tel Aviv following the suicide of a prostitute who worked there, the daily Haaretz reported Sunday.

Naomi Ze’evi-Rivlin, who directs the Saleet program for the rehabilitation of women who have worked as prostitutes, told Haaretz that the protest was the first demonstration on behalf of such women in Israel. “Jessica brought us onto the streets, if not during her lifetime then with her death,” she said, adding that Jessica’s was the 31st case of the death of a prostitute in Tel Aviv alone since Saleet was founded seven years ago, an average of a death every three months. The women’s average age at death of 40.

“Women in prostitution are the punching bag of consumers, fulfilling momentary gratification and fantasies and perversions for which they would never dare ask at home.”

Some demonstrators carried signs saying “As long as a woman’s body can be bought, no woman is protected” and “All prostitution is rape.” Others carried signs with copies of death notices for Jessica and other women who died while working as prostitutes. The death notices were printed by Atzum, a group fighting human trafficking.

“Look at the death notices, at the initials of all of these women. Who would choose to die at such an age?” Zionist Union Knesset member Merav Michaeli asked the crowd rhetorically at the demonstration. “How can one speak [of prostitution as] a choice?” She said she would continue to pursue efforts to criminalize clients, as well as legislation to provide rehabilitation services for women who worked as prostitutes.

As demonstrators went to the building to post death notices and light memorial candles in Jessica’s memory, a man was escorting prostitutes to the second floor of the building.

The brothel has continued to operate despite it being ordered shut down several years ago by the police. Meretz party Knesset member Michal Rozin said she would call on State Comptroller Joseph Shapira to investigate why it had not been closed down.
