fascinating. i imagine that porn in the US in the 60s was something like this -- the green door and caligula and such -- more offensive to the older generations than it is today, and therefore more political. of course the stakes of the political debate in israel make it that much more extraodinary. hopefully the product will be better than it is here as a result.

A few things that make no sense:
1) was porn at any time not a political issue? or not political in content? It's not an Israeli thing that porn is political and a political issue. So much for that one.
2) "Most people in America think Israelis live in a desert and wear veils"-- this is not an accurate statement. Just dumb filling.
3) Also, the attempt she made at the end to discuss "feminism" and "post-feminism" and women and the orthodox being against porn-- uh. Just because she offers us the example/thoughts of some screenwriter (I wonder what she writes...) who's too addicted to drugs to think straight it does not mean that women made up their minds on the issue.
I know that this article reinforced my belief that prostitution/porn are exploitative- in a bad way- of women. Except that it's a multibillion dollar industry and then we have to keep talking about it like it's not a problem really.
