Dozens of Israeli women have posed naked in support of Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, the Egyptian blogger who sparked fury in the Arab world last week when she published a series of nude pictures of herself on Twitter under her real name in a protest against Islamic extremism.
As an act of solidarity with the 20-year-old activist, whose pictures caused a stir on Twitter under the hash tag #Nudephotorevolutionary, some 40 Israeli women stripped off their clothes for a nude group shot.
Inspired by Elmahdy, Or Tepler, 28, opened a Facebook event inviting women "to show support in a non-violent and legitimate way for a woman who is just like us - young, ambitious, full of dreams and evidently has a developed sense of humour".
Encouraging fellow Israelis, she wrote on Facebook: "Girls, let's give the world a good reason to see the unique beauty of Israeli women." The women responded in solidarity: "Regardless of whether they are Jewish, Arab, straight or lesbian - because here, as of now, it doesn't matter. Let us show the doubters that our international discourse doesn't depend on governments." Full story...
