Israelis, STOP exploiting girls from the former Eastern bloc

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2006)

In the Jan 11, 98 edition New Orleans Times-Picayune, Michael Specter wrote an article entitled "Slave-traders Lure Slavic Women" discussing how Israelis exploit girls from the former Eastern bloc:
"She was 21, self-assured and glad to be out of Ukraine. Israel offered a new world, and for a week or two everything seemed possible. Then, one morning, she was driven to the brothel, where her boss burned her passport before her eyes. "I own you," she recalled his saying. "You are my property, and you will work until you earn your way out. Don't try to leave. You have no papers and you don't speak Hebrew. You will be arrested and deported. Then we will get you and bring you back."
"The Women who work there, like nearly all prostitutes in Israel, are Russian, their boss is not. 'Israelis love Russian girls,' said Israeli slave master Jacob Golan...'They are blonde and good looking and different from us.'"
In the April 1998 edition of Moment magazine which bills itself as the "Magazine of Jewish Culture and Opinion," there was an article entitled "Hookers in the Holy Land"
"A good percentage of the customers - or Johns, in the lingo - are ultra-orthodox Jews, pious men whose lives are guided by halachah (religious law), which tells them when they can or cannot have sex with their wives. So, on Thursday afternoons, (boys night out in Israel) bus loads of Orthodox JEws travel from Jerusalem, Haifa, and points beyond to Tel Aviv for a few precious moments of passion in a massage parlor, behind a sand dune, or a in an alleyway. Other customers are accountants, lawyers, policemen, and politicans. 'The entire spectrum of Israeli society is keeping the hookers in business.' Claims Detective Shachar, a cynical veteran on the Tel Aviv detail...'Tel Baruch is so very absurd and so very Israel.'"
"once the girls arrive in Israel, the crime bosses take over. The girls are usually taken to an 'auction house,' where the owners of the various 'massage parlors' can bid on the talent - each one offers a price, and the highest bidder gets the girl...The girls are virtual slaves."
