Without starting a philosophical discussion about dualism in the Middle East and going to the extremes, one must admit that the Israeli government is the most horny and sexually most active government on Earth. If you jostle the cabinet a bit, what will fall out will be a whole bunch of sexual aids accompanied by spicy reports of erotic outburst, innocent adultery and divulging, only to have everything end up in much more serious accusations of rape or articles about orgies with established BDSM rules.

The brief venture into the erotic or perhaps psychotic world of “Israeli state eroticism” is best commenced at the top of the pyramid, with a recollection of the media bang caused last year by the now former president who quit after accusations that he had sexually molested and/or raped at least ten women. Mosche got his forceful relief over a period of some ten years. In the end the case ended with a deal possible only in modern democracies where the elite is forgiven against the will of the people and against the law and against morals and against common sense, not withstanding whether we are speaking about the mass murderers of their own citizens or the serial rapists of “Katsav” women. Anyhow, Mosche is today in some summerhouse treating his inflamed prostate, while the fact that seventy percent of the Israeli public had openly displayed their indignation over his shameful deal with the prosecution has long been forgotten.

Shagging in ministries 

Notwithstanding whom we point the finger at and however strong sexual abuse accusations are, Israeli ministers have the habit of dragging political conspiracies into their own defences, at least up until the moment when they end up in the streets with gags over their mouths and dressed in S&M suits. Speaking of which, we should mention Yitzhak Mordechai, who, at the turn of the millennium, served as transport minister in Israel and who, after being accused by a ministry employee of sexual molestation and indecent behaviour, “disclosed” that he had a long (military) career that was run by his libido.

Last year the Israeli Justice Minister, intoxicated by his exhilaration at Israel’s attack on Lebanon (Hezbollah for the politically correct), forced himself upon a member of the Israeli armed forces. Cleverly or not, Haim Ramon, whose political correctness is such that he will happily claim that “every person in southern Lebanon is a terrorist connected with Hezbollah”, is serving his sentence at the “Israeli therapy centre for riders”.

Exotic delegations 

Uriel Yitzhaki who served Israel as the ambassador in The Netherlands, also could not restrain his lust. After a night at a casino he jumped his colleague and tore off her clothes in a rape attempt. The woman managed to free herself from his passionate embrace. Uriel also managed to get free with no punishment for the sexual assault. Although he was tried later for the illegal issuing of passports and graft.

The by far most famous and most exotic case was the S&M mission of the Israeli ambassador to El Salvador, whom the police found in the capital in his birthday clothes, dead drunk and surrounded with sex toys. Perhaps the honourable ambassador who gave speeches at great universities and exchanged opinions with top-notch think-tank minds would have explained what had happened to him, had he not been gagged with a rubber ball.

And that is the way it goes in Israeli top politics. Whether you find it interesting or not, the gentlemen whose habits we publicly presented were just a random choice fished out of an ocean of corruption, sexual and other scandals. Whether you find it interesting or not, while the entire world was busy chasing a paedophile the past several days, the Israeli government is sheltering Vitaly Levshin who was sought for years for sexual assaulting a ten-year-old Canadian boy and who uploaded onto the Internet thousands and thousands of child pornography photos. Dualism and the extremes in the Middle East;  same as it ever was...
