What! I mean like what. Geez louise. If this is true than...well, goodness their should be a helluva lot more men in prison in Israel coz it's not like men ever lie about their (wealth/job/assets) to get nookie.

What.

I think the court did the right thing. Lying to someone to get them in bed with you is not okay.

[ms_maree]

But it's not rape!!

Depends on what you lie about. And it's not rape.

[chasingtides]

There are some lies that are rape (like the case a while back where a twin brother lied about being someone's partner to sleep with them). Saying you're another religion/make more money/are naturally blonde isn't one of them.

The fact that it apparently only applies to Muslim men and not Jewish men is sickening.

I think he deserves a slap across the face for lying. It's not rape, though.

I really hope this doesn't turn into another "evil israel" post.
