Eduardo Larriva ,   Aranas, Cl   (11.20.11)
squeakie fromme, et al.
32. There will be no change
ALTUFAN ,   ALEXANDRIA EGYPT   (11.20.11)
Should be applied fairly in the ground spoilers
33. #16 is right
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (11.20.11)
Showing oneself naked is freedom??? What idiocy. How embarrassing that Dead Sea shoot was.
34. #38 hahaha, no idiot , i'm not religous!
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.20.11)
Marty, do you know why people clothed themselves ? i guess you don't know, okay i'll learn you something : Man clothed himself just to differentiate between animals and himself. any human being has a brain and can give his message without lowering himself to animals level. I'm talking about both men and women, for me I feel absolutely disgusted when I see a naked man or woman.
35. @Daniel #24: Interesting info...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (11.20.11)
I think it was on one of these talkbacks that an Egyptian posted that they are not allowed to freely travel to Israel. But I see your point about fear of the Egyptian police after visiting Israel. Can't say I've come across many Egyptians here though, and I have lived here since '92. I suppose it does make sense that there are marriages between arab Israelis and Egyptians, but those would not be classified as tourists.
36. bad timing..knowing the election in egypt is at hand
lia ,   spain   (11.20.11)
to all the israeli women who participated on this protest in solidarity with the blogger in egypt..all i can say to you is..you're not helping egypt..im not saying what u did is wrong..but it's a bad timing..knowing the election in egypt is at hand..think and think what u did wrong,,it is not the act but the timing!you ruined it!
37. Great !
JukkaKoo ,   Vantaa, finland   (11.20.11)
Old-fashioned men of Arab world should learn from these beauties of Israel and not to hide behind their religion. Nobody should be limited by any religion in today's world !
38. Nudity
JukkaKoo ,   Vantaa, finland   (11.20.11)
Nudity does not mean we turn into animals. Nude is how we come to this world and nudity is beauty. If you think nudity is pervert, you are not able to handle your desires.
39. Progress!
Bridger ,   Texas   (11.20.11)
Come out wherever you are!
40. Salma #2
Frauss ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.11)
Oh, like the PLO?
41. Salma, #2
Steve from Florida ,   Palm Beach, USA   (11.20.11)
Not often I find myself agreeing with Salma, but on her point #2, I agree 100%.
42. #38 we come to this world babies ,
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.20.11)
you are absolutely right, everyone is born naked, but children are not aware of anything, when we grow up , we become aware of everything, we then can be able to distinguish between right and wrong. I'm mature enough to handle and control my desires "in the right place at the right time"... i will never let my desires control my actions.
43. Conflicted
Ali ,   Washington, DC   (11.20.11)
As a human being, I don't see a direct relation between freedom of expression and walking around naked. I think that this misguided 18 year old will look back to this day with regret when she's older and wiser. As a man, I love it. Nothing pleases me more than nude women, and if more show solidarity by warming my heart with their nudity, I am all for it. I don't know, I am just conflicted on this one.
44. love and respect to Israelians
Alireza ,   Iran   (11.20.11)
My love and respect to people who do not see the political views but humanity. love and respect to Israel.
45. #3 - John is hateful and living in a fantasy world
William ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
First, even the Arabs refer to the Jewish capital and holiest city as Jerusalem, especially when they try to covet it for their own. Second, go read Aliaa's blog. Both her and her boyfriend transcend gender, race, and political boundaries in their quest for freedom and peace. Unlike you, Aliaa is a true Leftist who wants peace without conditions and openness to everyone in society. You claim to be a Leftist but only want rights and freedom for those you support at the detriment of others. That's called discrimination and Apartheid - the same Leftist characteristics that gave support to Hitler and the Bolsheviks, resulting in millions of collective deaths.
46. #2 - keep in mind that's your opinion...
William ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
and it's shared by only those who have been brainwashed like you.
47. #8 - stupid
William ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
This act had nothing to do with Egyptians or Israelis. It was a message of female solidarity from a neighboring country with gender rights, to a brave woman in an oppressed misogynist country. The message was meant for no one else but her.
48. #42 - " I will never let my desires control my actions"
William ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
Really? If the rest of your population acted like that there wouldn't be the need for the security wall and check points, because there'd be no terrorism. Alas, your population is one driven by blind emotion, which is why your women are also forced to cover up - for their own protection, of course.
49. Israelis don't strip for me
Usa   (11.20.11)
:(
50. Salma @2, as far as I am concerned it is not for you and
leo ,   usa   (11.20.11)
your brothers to teach anyone how not to be an animal.
51. #34 " not religious". are you telling us you're an apostate?
imalsoafreeagent   (11.20.11)
you're either one or the other in islam. "secular"is an unacceptable copout.
52. #43 - your post underscores the message Aliaa gave
William ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
You wouldn't see nudity as an expression of freedom because you're not subjected to the oppression and "rules" of the other gender. Women are objectified, covered up, oppressed, and even beaten in your culture under the guise of "protecting the woman's honor". The removal of their clothes was analogous to removing male oppression, and had nothing to do with sexuality. The fact that you turned it sexual only underscores their message.
53. Samla#34
Haakon ,   Norway   (11.20.11)
That is some religious bullshit you are serving though. Man clothed himself to survive harsh enviroments. Not to seperate himself from animals. Before the colonization age many tribes in africa were pretty much in running around in the nude. Were they animals? Man dressed himself up for a function. Not because he had a desire to seperate himself from other animals. Shield himself from the cold, protect himself from harm, ornaments to show status, etc. Hopefully you learnt something today and don't try to teach bullshit you dont know shit about to other people in the close future. If you are disgusted to see a naked man or woman I pity you though...you must have a hard sexlife. If you are not into the victorian thing we had in the west in the eighteen hundreds.
54. daaaaaaaah man i will never understand women
Jalal ,   Gaza   (11.20.11)
55. Ladies
Brod ,   USA   (11.20.11)
You are beautiful. Don't expose yourselves.
56. Thank you for the solidarity
Ahmed ,   Cairo   (11.20.11)
I wouldn't want my daughter to pose nude, but that's her choice, and so it is Aliaa's right and no one else! and I really appreciate the solidarity from Israelis, shows how we are all human beings and have good feelings.
57. NUDITY
michael Pielet ,   israel   (11.20.11)
I support full frontal nudity for all our leftists women . Go nude in Tahrir Square then you will meet the real arabs that you want to make peace with.
58. @ #4 and 5 - Let's keep it that way...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.20.11)
... because everyone thrives in a peaceful environment except the greedy control freaks and who really needs them anyway.
59. @ # 49 - By a camera, that's what I did ;^)
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.20.11)
and it worked.
60. #2
(11.20.11)
