Jerusalem: Ads warn parents – keep daughters away from Arabs
Ad made to look like imaginary wedding invitation distributed throughout Jerusalem's streets in bid to demonstrate what would happen if parents fail to keep watch over their daughters
Lehava, the extremist Jewish organization for the prevention of assimilation in the Holy Land, has come up with a new gimmick that is creating a stormy debate on the issue of mixed marriages between Jews and Arabs.
In an ad made to look like an imaginary wedding invitation between Michal and her chosen groom Mohammad, distributed throughout Jerusalem's streets, the organization is seeking to demonstrate what would happen if parents fail to keep watch over their daughters.

Secular people who passed by the "invitations" expressed their anger over what they say is the racist wording of the ad: "They are staining an entire nation and turning us into racists against our will. We are not all primitives as might be understood from the ad," said on Jerusalemite after reading the ad.

The "invitation" asks you to join Michal and Mohammad as they celebrate their marriage on a Friday night at the Shahid (martyr) events hall in Ramallah. Next to the invitation the ad reads: "If you don't want your daughter's wedding invitation to look like this then…Don't let her work with Arabs or do national service with non-Jews, don't let her work in place that employs enemies and don't bring home migrant workers…"
The Lehava organization's goal is to "save the daughters of Israel who have been tempted into a romantic relationship with a non-Jew."

Declaration of Lebanese Men Against Article 522
Delete522.com
By Joey Ayoub
Article 522 of the Lebanese penal code suggests that a rapist can be exonerated from his horrendous crime if he decides to marry his victim. This barbaric law not only justifies the unjustifiable but reduces women to mere sex toys as well.
Declaration of Lebanese Men Against Article 522
- We are Lebanese men who reject Article 522 of the Lebanese code. Article 522 suggests that the rape of a woman can be allowed if the rapist marries his victim. It is a law done by men for men and it degrades women to the level of sexual objects.
- We are sons, brothers, fathers, uncles and grandfathers who refuse to have our daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts and grandmothers be denied their inherent rights.
- We reject sexism and all forms of discrimination as being the fruits of lower men.
- We demand that women be treated as our complete equals under the law.
- This article is dangerous, inhumane, and unjust for the following reasons (Source: Delete522.com):
1. It does not only apply to rape, but to all articles in the section (503 – 521) that include including rape of a minor, rape of a person with a mental or physical disability, sex with a minor, molestation of children, sexual harassment of children, exploitation of someone in a weaker position and forcing someone into sexual acts, kidnapping of women or girls (with or without intention of marriage). In all of these cases, Article 522 exonerates the criminal of his crime if he marries the victim. And yes, in all Lebanese confessional laws, women can get married under 18 (ages vary by sect).
2. While it is clearly outrageous to us that a survivor of rape or sexual violence would want to marry her rapist, many families still view this as an “honorable” escape of the shame of rape and could force their daughter to accept it.
3. The mere fact of having such an article in our Panel Code offers the rapist / child molester / kidnapper an escape clause which enforces the general mentality that sex criminals can get away with their crimes. And it encourages convicted rapists of seeking marriage with their victims.
4. Because of this article, criminals who can prove intentions to marry their victims can gain the sympathy of the judges and receive a reduced sentence for their crimes even if they don’t end up with a marriage.
This page is aimed at raising awareness and at getting as many Lebanese citizens as possible to sign the Delete522.com campaign demanding an end to discrimination of women.

the old testament says the same thing - if you rape an unbetrothed virgin you must pay her dad 50 shekels and marry her

Ironically... Arabs (apparently, not Christians or Jews).
Hail, Hail!!!
Jews have recently accepted Christ?
If I opened it now would you not understand?
