Offenders could face five years jail; those targeted to be recognized as victims of sexual harassment.
Haaretz:
The Knesset approved a bill on Monday that prohibits the online distribution of still or video images of a sexual nature without the subject’s full and free consent. The offense carries a maximum sentence of five years. …
“We are witnessing more and more cases of sexual assaults that were filmed and distributed in public without restraint and without limits; this legislative intervention is necessary and will help fight the shocking phenomenon of ‘virtual rape,’” Kariv said after the bill was passed in its second and third (and final) reading in the legislature.
Imagine, a bill is passed in Israel against pornography in Israel. Pakistan and many other Islamic countries are on the top of list for searching porno websites.Is there any punishment by law and serious implementation of the law for such people in these muslim countries. They should learn a lesson from a Israel.
Also, the Muslim countries should learn a lesson of peaceful living and democracy from Israel, India, South Africa. At least those countries do not let any one use his/her religion for politics.
Once criminal tendencies are permitted to grow and flourish in homes and societies in general, the best a government can do is to wipe out the symptoms from time to time.The root cause of evil is far too deep for the long arm of the law to reach. It is the primary job of families ,religious leaders and leaders of public opinion in every society to eradicate evil. The Holy Prophet(pbuh) once said that one of the most serious signs of decline of a people is that they lose courage to show their displeasure at the public display of indecency and misconduct.
