Hasidic Paper Photoshops Hillary Clinton and Audrey Tomason out of Sit Room Photo
We write about Photoshop ridiculousness all the time, but this instance is a little different. A orthodox Hasidic newspaper called Der Tzitung has wiped Secy. of State Hillary Clinton and Counterterrorism Director Audrey Tomason out of the now-famous photo of US government officials watching the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani compound, following its editorial policy never to print pictures of women.

Jezebel reports that Der Tzitung doesn’t put pictures of ladies in its pages because they could be considered sexually suggestive. But we don’t know what could be less sexy than the concern on the face of a cabinet member watching one of the most important military maneuvers in recent history go down live. Still, that consideration didn’t occur to the photo editors at Der Tzitung, who smudged Clinton right out of the history books.

We guess to be completely fair, we can’t say that we’ve read the coordinating story, so we don’t know if there’s a disclaimer in there that says, “This photo has been altered to fit our editorial policy by removing Hillary Clinton and Audrey Tomason in the original photo.” But even it did, it’d still be a crap move, and certainly more offensive than any hip augmentation or leg slimming on a fashion model that we’ve ever seen.

13. It's shameful.
Religious patriarchs would be thrilled if the female half of the human race could simply be dispensed with, rounded up and slaughtered.

Since that's impractical since we're the way the species continues, they try to make us invisible by shrouding us in public, by erasing us from history, by erasing us from pictures in the newspaper.

21. People who themselves have been victimized by discrimination ought to have more empathy.
But there are so many examples where they do not.

23. "Shrouding us in public"... exactly! It is designed to ersase women from daily life
to disempower them, to ensure they are never presented as equals.

This fundy newspaper erasing Hillary and the other woman demonstrates their corrupt, misogynistic mentality again.

For those who erased these two women from the picture, women are not supposed to be players, not supposed to be equals, are not supposed to be powerful. It's the same as those who want to erase women from society by shrouding them in ghost wraps.

It's sick patriarchal bullshit. All of it.

6. This is not about what Israel as a nation does, or even what Jews do.
This is about one, smallish, self-isolated inbred sect of Judaism on its far-right fringes.

4. What might the circulation of this paper be? I don't really think one
article will result in "...Der Tzitung, who smudged Clinton right out of the history books...."

I would think that the papers/magazines/teevee reports/etc. will ensure those women's place in history. I betcha there will be books written, and many will likely include the original photo.

No worries.

29. My point is, the truth (real photo) is/will be widespread. One obscure
Edited on Mon May-09-11 06:03 AM by Obamanaut
paper that appeals to only a small group of people will not affect anything.

Even now, a google search of the name of the paper shows several pages of articles telling how that paper has modified the original photo.

Sigh

7. Hire a whole army of Hasidic techies to photoshop her out of EVERYTHING, lol.
They'd wipe out our country's unemployment problem singlehandedly. People would convert to Hasidic Judaism just to get the jobs.

15. Aside from how much I totally despise
idiots like these ultra-orthodox Jews, I'm reminded of how exactly this sort of thing was done throughout the Soviet era. Whenever some former political big-wig fell out of favor, he'd be disappeared from official photographs. Someone published an entire book on this not too long ago, I believe.

And yeah, I'd be inclined to vote for a woman, any woman, for president just to see how these idiots would handle it.

30. To the ultra orthodox
women are sometimes filthier than pigs. And a woman who dares to be around good working men. Well she just can not exist can she.

Religion continues to be the driving poison of suppression and hate.
