One of Israel’s dirty little secrets: Stalags

[Fonzworth]

It was one of Israel’s dirty little secrets. In the early 1960s, as Israelis were being exposed for the first time to the shocking testimonies of Holocaust survivors at the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a series of pornographic pocket books called Stalags, based on Nazi themes, became best sellers throughout the land.
Pocket books called Stalags were practically the only pornography available in the conservative Israeli society of the early 1960s. Though it was claimed that the Stalags were translated from English, they were actually created and written by Israelis.

The popularity of the Stalags only declined after a much-reported trial, in which their authors were accused of distributing anti-Semitic pornography.

Fonzworth I am taking these pictures off they really are not suited for this forum.  Bring your point across without the visual

There will always be a certain percentage of people who enjoy pornography. I don't think you can stop it entirely. Even in the most oppressive theocracy there would be some people with porn. Just because this is true doesn't make it "Israel's dirty secret". It doesn't seem like the Israeli people in general endorsed this stuff.

What is the point of this thread?  Are you implying, Fonzworth that because some people in Israel produced pornographic material, that Jews have no moral claim to the land?
