Don't
date Arab men: Rabbis' wives to Israeli girls

Rome: Wives of around 30 rabbis in Israel have
published an open letter asking jewish girls to avoid dating Arab
men because their courtship will result in maltreatment.
The letter comes three weeks after an uproar sparked by a
religious ruling signed by 50 state-appointed rabbis telling Jews
not to rent or sell property to non-Jews.
The new letter published by some websites and news outlets warned
Israeli girls that Arab men's gentlemanly behaviour won't last.
"As soon as you are in their hands, in their villages under their
control, everything becomes different. You can ask dozens of girls
who have been there. They will tell you it is all an act.
"Your life will never be the same. The attention will be replaced
with curses, beatings, and humiliations. Even if you want to leave
the village it will be much harder. They won't let you, they will
chase you, they won't let you come back."
The letter was spearheaded by the head of Lehava, an extreme
right-wing group that says it aims to prevent the "assimilation of
the Jewish people" and works at "saving Jewish girls from Arab
villages".
