Ms. Magazine Refuses Israel Ads

Ms. magazine, that bastion of "feminist" orthodoxy that was actually irrelevant two decades ago has refused to run an ad showing the three most powerful women in Israel:

The magazine has turned down an AJCongress advertisement that did nothing more controversial than call attention to the fact that women currently occupy three of the most significant positions of power in Israeli public life. The proposed ad (The Ad Ms. Didn’t Want You To See) included a text that merely said, “This is Israel,” under photographs of President of the Supreme Court Dorit Beinish, Vice Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Tzipi Livni and Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik.

“What other conclusion can we reach,” asked Richard Gordon, President of AJCongress, “except that the publishers − and if the publishers are right, a significant number of Ms. Magazine readers − are so hostile to Israel that they do not even want to see an ad that says something positive about Israel?”

I can't seem to come to any other conclusion either. Just another incident that makes one wonder why Jews consistently vote for Democrats when it seems the majority of the anti-Semitism in the US comes from the Left.
