I had some of those words too...Probably we should move to the soapbox and curse them properly?

Put it this way, this unity rally was about the attack on freedom of speech. Airbrushing out women because they offend some religious sentiment is no different than airbrushing out Mohammed for the same reason so the reporting by, and in fact the very presence, of, the Israeli right wing at this march was hypocritical at the least.

There is only one thing to correct in this - the newspaper has nothing to do with politics, right- or left-wing. It is a newspaper belongs to some ultra-religious group (attacking Israel as state more often than any other media in the world) and the reason for cutting the image is not political at all...(I commented on it earlier)...
However it doesn't make it any better in my eyes...

Or...Refusing to recognize the right of Israel to exist?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Why are you, like Netenyahoo, trying to make this an Israel-Palestine issue?

And here[^] is a wide angle shot, showing them all nicely away from all the people they are 'leading' in the march with lots and lots of security to make sure the great unwashed can get nowhere near.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Yes...But you can see that this is original...If I had the time I would show you how they cut a stripe out of it...

I checked the newspaper and found that it is a ultra-religious newspaper, so probably the reason is not politics but misinterpreted modesty-of-women...Not that it makes it any better...

I guess they hold the same opinion of women as the Taliban: not to be allowed out without a family member as an escort.

Next thing you know, they'll be building concentration camps for women.

One thing positive in all this:
As extreme as this ultra-ultra-orthodox Jewish movement is, they have not sent any children to martyr themselves as waking bombs targeting shoppers . . . neither have they cut off anyone's head for believing differently then they do.
The above notwithstanding, they, like any extremist group are just really messed up in the head.

Nope, none of that nasty stuff, but they have stoned women for wearing red, burnt down stores that sell MP4 players and broken into homes to beat up women for consorting with men.
But you know, only the fun, gentle kind of pointless violence.

I did, at least, note that they're a bunch of pretty sick cookies.

Yup.
99% of our football hooligans and skinheads prefer it.
Religion turns people into religious sh1theads.
Take away the religion, and you're left with just sh1theads.

Holy crap, I didn't know they were that bad! I guess if their book told them to go jihadi and kill the infidel they would probably be as bad as extremist muslims!

While they also haven't been burning any crosses, does burning a menorah count?

Fortunately they have no such power - all they have is the freedom of speech...

Um, the freedom of speech is the freedom to speak truthfully and honestly.
Lying to and decieving people ain't part of the deal.

Who decides though which is the truth and which is the lie, so in the absence of any true judge we have to allow all forms of speech, with some countries drawing the line at offensive or racist speech, like the UK. Of course, what is and isn't offensive is also debatable...

Well, I think that I'm safe in saying that using photoshop to erase people from a photograph is not something that is very closely associated with the truth.
Similarly, bearing false witness is a crime, purjury is a crime, false advertising is a crime, and you can get your @rse kicked in court for slander.
Freedom of speech is concerned with the freedom to express one's honest opinions, not the freedom to lie about anyone or anything.
It's not an "I can say anything I like!", it's an "I am free to believe what I like and express my beliefs".
