Feminism has done wonders for the family and western civilisation, destroying institutions in just 40 years it took millennia to build, let's have more of these clip-haired loudmouths in government, absolutely. Bring back the Tsipomonster!

Incidentally, Moroccans are also occupying an innocent population and stealing their land.

I find this article slightly innane. Your comparing Morocco and other Arab states (well Morocco is technically a Berber state, but hey who cares about indigenous peoples these days), to a democracy like Israel? How many female Drs are in Israel? How many lawyers? Business women? In the military? I'm not saying it's a poor showing that we have so little women in ministerial positions, but we have had a female prime minister. Comparing Israel to these countries is quite frankly not a fair portrayal. It would be one thing to comment on European countries, or north american ones. Even asain countries like Japan, but dictatorial and repressive socities? Please, readers are not two year olds. Some academic integrity is called for. Asides from the useless comparison to backwards countries the article raises the excellent point that there are indeed not enough women in government. I look forward to seeing that changed and commend the bold steps that are being taken to enable this to happen. Kol HaKavod

right on, to the men's rights for equality!

This article makes it sound like it's a good thing.

women in Morocco will be happy to have both less women in government and less honor killings, and no polygamy as well

Or would she rather live in Israel? I think thats the more important question....

They havent been hampered by the likes of our stellar Aloni, Itzik, Tamir, and Livni, Excuse me that was hard, now I need to go wretch.

Look, if you compare Israel with West Europe or US in matters like women equality - of course we'll lose. But if we have less women ministers than some failed Arab dictatorship, then we really do have a problem! I guess that you didn't get the point because of language and culture differences between you and the author.

Did my last paragraph resonate for even a moment? Did they teach you in school to read the WHOLE message or do you stop reading when you get mad, which invariably will lead to miscommunication since you did noty read the WHOLE message. If you have a critical analysis comment I welcome it, if you're going to take cheap pot shots like your last line, which are truly stereotypical and devoid of indepth analysis, please stick to hooked on phonics. Ynet news is far beyound your level by the drivel you spew.

Young moroccans give up this country and try to make a better life in Europe and in America ?...

This cant be true. When Katsav was in office, the Israeli government had more women in government that would Katsav could lay his hands on in several life times. lol

Ynet publishes what it deems as acceptable, so are you refering to as "we"?

I'm reading the comments and I'm surprised by the amount of stupid and ignorant people... There is more women in government in morocco but also more women in parliament. Honor killings in Morocco are less frequent than in Israel (security in general). All the moroccans have equal rights in front of the law no matter from which region or etnicity they come from. All the stranger living in Morocco can practice freely their religion. If someone want to speak about Morocco, they should try to learn the facts first Pologamy is brought to almost nill in Morocco. Look at the number of sports women from morocco and from Israel The results of the Bachelor this year have shown better marks and successes for women than men Look at the family code in Morocco and compare it with Israel and you might be highly surprised In three words, ignorant racist fools

what is Morocco's GDP $200 billion, $150 billion, $100 billion? No it is $80 billion with 5 times the population and 22 times land area of Israel so what do you have to brag about when you are under an absolute monarch that controls your life in every way?

Before you throw highly charged words like Ignorant (which I'm about show you are) and racist and fools (which I am about to show you are by the words you wrote). You comparison of honour killings is with reference to Arabs... There is no occurances of honour killings, even amoungst our most zealotic within the religious. ZERO. So your attempt at hiding the implication of your words (relevant only to Arabs) shows you as a fool. The comparison of equal rights, is also a within Israel. Do not try to play games by quoting residents who carry cards, as Morocco is not in an armed conflict with any country, save perhaps tensions between the abused Berber populations. Morocco is almost exclusivley Muslim today, with a token community of well off Jews. Notice how I acknowledge the good standard of living of Jews in Morocco, and for this I commend your country. At least I am even-handed and offer praise when it is deserved, only a fool does nothing but pick at someone, quite like your post. Polygamy, does not exist in Jewish culture or even Christian anymore. If you think your impressing readers by saying "We've caught up!!! Praise us!!!" I will not commend what should have been ages ago, that would be... how should we put it? Ignorant. Now, how exactly is one word I have said racist? I criticize lies and distortions, perhaps the truth has become racism and the gulible masses like you will spew drivel and write rubbish like Goldstone reports to perpetrated furthure false stories and hatred that you so ironically accuse everyone else of having.

The stupid replies that followed are enough justification. You still speak without knowing a thing. And each and every word of yours is full of hatred. Tensions with the berber population? We are not so focused on race like you folks. Altough Trying to understand us with your thinking might be challenging. I'm speaking about morocco as a whole and you're speaking about arabs arabs. Even when you speak about Israel statistics, you don't consider the indigenous population as a factor... How can you be more racists! You try to deny the "Goldstone report" (who the f....is that guy lol), but how many reports through the years. Polygamy, violence and honor killings are your charge against morocco? I urge you to check the facts. The honor killings or "crime passionnel" is a classic in almost all european countries christians muslims and jews alike and morocco does not do worse than France or England. Polygamy is almost nill (and never imposed upon women), child proportion per couple is 2. I'm not playing games but only testifying about my own understanding. If you really want to argue, present the facts and don't try to change topics. GDP of Morocco? It's the main subject here? Morocco was under occupation by spain and france who cut the territory in three parts... We are at war with our neighbors for that reason now. We are also trying to get up from the mess of the occupation which as you know does not do good at all. If Morocco receives the amount of foreign aides (US Europe), US public and private investment and lowns... Yeah it can be a good thing for us lol. Last thing... When exactly are you planning to show that I'm an ignorant racist fool lol

The points were said, I do give open platform to the notion that some of my ideas may be based upon faulty assumptions, yet a high majority are not. I will no longer argue the issue, since it will be nothing but a useless tirade of exchanges. I want to state clearly, my comments about "arabs, arabs, arabs" are aimed to critically analyize short comings within their communities that they often deny, or justify without true fair reasoning. In short, I am criticizing the bad. I am actually very proud of the fact Morocco has such a diverse amount of women within politics. I have only praise for the Kings conduct during world war 2 when he stood up to Vichy and said "There are no Jews here, only subjects of the king". I have only praise for as long as they Jewish community is treated well and with respect, and as far as I know from past knowledge they are. For your own information, my grandparents came from a North African country on one side of my genetic make-up. Please, do not attempt to tell me I have no clue about North Africa, as proven by history, Jews were in the region my grandparents came from before ethnic Arabs came and Islamised the land. History did not start with Islam, for us. I highly respect your background and apologize if you interpret some comments as racist, but I stand by them, and assure you they are not. I thank you for raising issues and presenting another side. I always welcome critical but constructive dialogue. Take care, Intel

1- can you please give us one case of honnor killing in morocco where the killer didn't get min of 20 years of prison ? . 2- what have the GDP to do with women right? do u mean that women in quatar or emarate who have bigger GDP per capita than israel have moore right than israili women ? . 3, the jews in morocco are moroccan and they have moore freedom that israili arabs. can israel accept charia in the israili law for there non jewish citizen? in morocco they accepted it and have special laws for jews like familly law for exemple. moroccan are moroccan, amazigh arab jews, they all work togother for a better futur for everybody. the fact is, yes morocco have more women in the parlement than israel, yes they have more women in goverenment than the israeli gouverenement, yes moroccan women have moore olympic medals that israeli women and more world champion in defferent sport that israeli women, yes a moroccan women headed the olympic comity to choose the 2016 olympic games where no women yet got this privilege. yes a moroccan women is doing reasearch in south pole and no women yet had put a foot in the south pole......... so please next time befor you wright something make sure you make a small search.

Morocco says that it wants to be modern but it illegally conquered, and cruelly occupies the land of the native people of Western Sahara who object to this bloody occupation and Moroccan settlers stealing their land and natural resources

women or not in the government only very few benefit from the natural resources the country has
