The Forward is about as far left as you can get, probably even farther to the left than Ha'aretz. The Forward does not speak for me or for any other right-wing, religious Jew.

I realize that. But the Forward surely is not making this up ,is it? The problem as I see it is that when the Soviet Union went bust, a horde of evil people, of all religions, descended upon the west. The USA should not have to pressure Israel to clean house. That 3,000 women a year can be sold in a country that size without someone in authority knowing of it is not believable.

They do know about it. They are taking steps to stop it. However, because of the ongoing terrorist attacks, this is not a high priority. This kind of thing goes on in every country on the planet, from time immemorial.

If post #27 is correct, then why does this sort of stuff bother you more when it happens in Israel than it does in Greece?

It's no excuse, but unlike Greece, Israel cannot devote 100% of its resources to battling this sickness, they are dealing with some other matters at the present as well.

I applaud you for going after the sex slave trade in Israel, however one wonders why this only bothers you when it comes to Israel. I haven't seen you post on the sex slave trade in any other country; of course I haven't seen every one of your posts, maybe I'm wrong, if so you can correct me.
