Hot Israeli Chicks Take One For Their Country
Female legislators in Israel are not taking Maxim Magazines July feature, Women of the [Israeli Defense Forces], lying down. In fact, yesterday, Colette Avitalformer Consul-General and a member of the Israeli parliamentdemanded an [urgent meeting](http://www.nypost.com/seven/06192007/news/regionalnews/babes_in_oy_land_scuffle_regionalnews_andy_soltis.htm) with the Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik to get an explanation of the Israeli consulates puzzling alliance with Maxim magazine. David Saranga, consul for media and public affairs, already has the answer: Israel is viewed as a very macho society. We want to show that we are a normal society like others. Thats right, judging by these pics, Israel is just like America.
2004 Miss Israel winner [Gal Gadot appears in all her swimsuit glory] on the invitations for an event promoting the feature scheduled for tonight at Marquee in New York to be hosted by the Israeli Consulate in conjunction with Maxim. The magazines website boasts [more images of female Israeli soldiers](http://www.maximonline.com/girls_of_maxim/pictures_and_bio/1296/IsraeliDefenseForces.girl) alongside the words, Theyre drop-dead gorgeous and can take apart an Uzi in seconds. Beauty and know how when it comes to mastering a phallic symbol? Why, its every mans fantasy!
Avital said, This pornographic campaign sponsored by the Foreign and Tourism Ministries is an outrage. Maxim? Pornographic? Naaah. Ambassador Arye Mekel, consul-general of Israel in New York, told the [Daily News], The pictures arent anything you wouldnt see at a pool or a beach. Israel is always mentioned in the context of wars and violence. We want to show there is a normal life. Among the beautiful things we have are our women We dont see having beautiful women as a problem. Oh my friend, thats where youre wrong. Were sure many American womyn out there will find this photo shoot empoweringthey can take care of their fine selves!but lets remember how difficult it is to kick ass when yours is in the air.
