Lets be clear she is selling her body for the sexual pleasure of men. Not sure why taking your clothes off for mens pleasure is considered a feminist victory. Its not really a new profession

# Boy, you are one sick man, shame on you.

... is so narrow, not even an atomic particle could squeeze through it. Go lock yourself behind the "100 Gates" and dwell in the mental and physical squalor you and your kind live in. It must be amazing to live in the year 100 AD!! She is a model, she gets paid for doing that job, who are you to infer she "sells" her body like a common prostiture. At least she is productive, HAS A JOB, and contributes to society. What do you do besides living on handouts from the taxpayer, shnorrering at the Kottel and hiding behind Yeshiva walls? Not every beautiful woman is a wanton woman, join the real world! Oh, and get a job!

Other than her taking a progressive stand for women, what's the big deal? Yeah, she's good looking and feels no urge to hide in a sack. So what? If her beauty bothers you, don't look, don't buy the magazine and don't buy whatever she's selling.

There is nothing wrong with having a successful modeling career. If you come from a conservative background, I respect that, just don't force your values on others. Huda is beautiful and I wish her the best of luck. she does better job promoting coexistance than arab MKs who only care about their seat.

"the mixed Israeli and Arab port city of Haifa"...but Haifa residents are all Israeli, the city is mixed Jewish and Arab! Semantics? No, important to note!

Hey, where's the Muslim fashion-police? I'm sure she'll be stoned for not wearing her Hijab...yeah, quickly, go get her a robe that she can, safely, model! Remember, guys: it's the hidden secrets that stoke the imagination.

specially the so called intellectuals. those are wingnuts. not worthy of wasting time on. get real folks some of us like our bodies, bodies rival brains and women who like their bodies and have smart brains...well that's a real knock out.

the fact that she wears what clothes she chooses causes some weak males to jump to sexual thoughts and thus "pleasure" on their own, only shows how futile your argument is against her. As typical in any conservative population, especially a religious one, the onus is placed on the "temptress" and not the saps around her who lack will-power. The Torah and all teaches in Judaism, while teaching modesty, put the burden of growth on the person who needs to control themselves. Religious males shirk that duty while demanding rules that block temptations, like TV and Internet. This article does represent a feminist victory - one that places the control over a woman's body back in her own hands. Deal with it.

For the non believer...this is the norm...no big deal. So we know that her family does not consist of religious finatics. She's a beautiful girl and as long as I have a face, she'll have a place to sit!

why the burqa

One of the great things about Israel is that beautiful women are encountered just in the course of normal life. They're not found only among those whose profession is "looking good". One sees them on university campuses, on army bases, on the beach, or in the local restaurant. Which makes them a lot more real.

you're 100% right!!!!

Her male jawline and flabby stomach are sickening. However a nobel effort nonetheless; better than being in a burka.

Do you hold the same opinion about Esther Petrack, an Orthodox girl, who also has appeared as a model in skimpy dress?

Thanks Raymond. We Israeli girls are the best.

models come tuppence a dozen. So she's an arab... so what?

Amen to that, brother!

Tell that to all the poor christian and jewish women in Iran. They wear muslim traditional clothing whether they want to or not.

She is gorgeous

Flabby stomach, are you for real? She is gorgeous and kudos for her for going out on a limb. Pun intended.

She's not the first and nor the last christian in doing that.. Lol this magazine would spread any(BS)thing to get fame& attention..even by spewing false statements..and using cheap promotional tactics...lol again. Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of hypocrites than this magazine/press crew!? they discriminate against atheists and girls who were raised in western culture, or with jewish background, yet claim to be openminded. Oh and I have the evidence & there is so much more to it than that ; ) However, i wish her luck in miss earth! Tip: cut the business with that fake magazine. Go girl!

You must mean the mixed Jewish and Arab port city of Haifa. Arabs living in Haifa are Israelis, too! Let's not forget that.

I don't know why this was not accepted before, but here I try again. Anyone who looks that good and keeps studying for her archaeology degree even after she becomes a model is a good and smart woman indeed. I wish her luck in her future and hope she can be a good, and non-nationalistic archaeologist.

are forced to wear Burqas too. Gaza is a prime example of where the Islamists are trying to force all women to wear coverings, regardless of religion, but still attack Christian buildings and schools anyway.

I've seen a few days ago in tv muslim girls from gaza don't wear hijab, studying at the university and live in their home town gaza.
