Starting at page 19 you can read what our Department of State has to say about sex trafficking. They say Israel is working hard to combat it. They put Israel in the middle. There are many nations far worse than Israel such as Belarus, Bosnia, Greece.
Typical Larry Lied only posts this to cast negative light on Israel. You have a prurient interest in all matters Jewish. Hypocrite.

Important to read more than the IDF and Likud press releases which are posted everyday. And this is from the Forward. Had it not been from a Jewish source, I would not have posted it.

sorry dennisw, but the article larrylied posted did say that the state dept had upgraded their description and ranking of israel's actions in this regard. But you are quite correct that other nations as you mentioned really have a lot more problems. Fortunately, Israel is wealthy enough, unlike them, and not corrupted by organized crime, like some of them that tolerate this and can enforce decent laws.

There are even a few women in america who are kidnapped each year into being literally white slaves on some pacific island for some super-rich person. I'm glad bush is emphasizing this issue world-wide, unlike Clinton who tolerated it I read.

Are you suggesting because this is taking place in Israel it should be swept under the rug? Think about the terrible suffering of these young women and their families. And yes, it does happen elsewhere, but it shouldn't happen anywhere at all, and certainly not in a civilized country like Israel. They should be above that sort of behavior; it just goes to show all goups are capable of horrid behavior, even Jews.
