A victory for porn, a defeat for holiness: To update you on a previous Yada blog news item, we're, um, happy to announce that Israel has allowed Playboy TV to go back on the air. Ha'aretz Daily reports: "The significance of the decision is that the committee no longer regards the content of the Playboy channel as pornography, which is banned from TV broadcasts under the Communications Law. The controversy over the interpretation of the law revolved around the question of whether Playboy was depicting women as sex objects." Seems reasonable that Israelies are allowed this guilty pleasure considering the recent increase of terrorists attacks in the country.
So, is this what the Torah meant when it said be a "light unto the other nations"?
