Talk:Prostitution in Israel

message: By reading this article you may think that there is a human trafficking in Israel. However there is no such thing. Women are not sold into prostitution, they are working and the are not forced to work.
:In your comment you said "add **reliable** sources to back up those false claims. Committees and Newspapers are not considered reliable".  First of all, if Committees and Newspapers are not reliable what are? and second I was careful not to say "about 3000 to 5000 women are smuggled annually into Israel and sold into prostitution" rather "According to a 2005 Parliamentary Inquiry Committee..." so I was not making a statement of fact but rather just saying what the committee said.  If you have some "**reliable**" sources for an alternate point of view that can be added. Jon513 (talk) 17:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The allegation that there are a million visits to brothels a year because it is alleged in a newspaper article seems pretty thin and controversial. 
The entire population of Israel is only 7 Million people. If we drop women, that comes to about 3.5M and if we drop the extremely aged and the extremely young, we're talking about 2 Million. 
The fact that one group makes an estimate with no support for it is not sufficient to consider it an objective fact and that part / those parts of the article should be edited. ~affinity~  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.245.156 (talk) 17:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biased sources 

message: Reading this page one might think that a legal prostitution industry exists in Israel. This is not true. Although it is legal to be a prostitute, it is illegal to use the services of a prostitute so de-facto prostitution as an industry is illegal. The purpose of the law is not to penalize the prostitutes who are looked upon as the victim of such an industry. In my opinion the prostitution map in the main "Prostitution" article is wrong for the same reason (Israel is blue where it should really be red, without going into details of what exactly is illegal with it).

message: I don't think that Israel promotes having sex on the streets! Isn't the ground in Israel covered rocks! Does the editor mean by "indoor prostitution" Disorderly House prostitution?  Brothel prostitution? Group of prostitutes in a house?  (PeacePeace (talk) 21:03, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: 'Indoor' or 'off-street' are commonly used expressions to differentiate those sex workers who work in brothels, hotels, their own homes etc from those who solicit in the street. In The Politics of Prostitution: Women's Movements, Democratic States and the Globalisation of Sex Commerce, the author writes that street prostitutes in Israel use "backyards, beaches and highways."

thread_title:  "Indoor prostitution" should be changed to some other expression. 

message: For my edits, I added some information to the page "Prostitution in Israel." The information I included were from news articles, a museum page, and a government website. This information included history on where the women that are either forced into the trade or willingly come into it typically originate, plus, current status on prostitution within Israel and how laws may change in the country.
