The kids in Israel imitate what they see on American television. It's kind of sad.

Wowser.

dang thats sexy -oooo, thats right, now flush it - yeah baby.

maybe NSFW.

I like these Israelis. Each and every pair of them.

Race ya there!

Or no matter where you go, people act the same for the most part.

Heh, I guess. This is a transition I really noticed because I happened to have spent a lot of time in Israel during the years the Arab boycotts were lifted.

I've seen similar pics throughout the world. I guess they are all imitating America.

No, but we export a lot of this kind of culture. I mean come on now

My Israeli cousins look and act more like the stereotypical American on MTV than any real American I know!

Anyway, didn't mean to turn this political. Nice pics, I'll be there in September

They look like a bunch of whores and strippers. Not sure that that particular behavior is encouraged in the Jewish religion! Infidels indeed!

How is a bunch of gals in bikinis political?

Not all "jews" are practicing.

And while SOME are acting whorish, some of them just look nice in bikinis.

Heh

Too late. And as long as you've hijacked this thread, I might as well use it to ask this question:

Here's something I've never understood. A great deal of Israelis are of American descent. Israelis tend to like Americans and hate Europeans. Yet Israeli culture is more like Western European culture than American culture.

Someone want to explain this one to me?

I don't think they hate Europeans. They just think Europeans have become biased against them the last few years. But there are some very European elements to the culture there.

OMFG, nice link!

I wonder how strong that white loops is...

Israel's just another country, influenced by many cultures, not just the American one. Many people in the west sem to be shocked when they see people in the Mid-East just being themelves. Some think they all go around wearing black robes, banging heads at the western wall, or covering their bodies from head to toe.

Israeli girls are sweet though, my ex was Israeli. Fine girl.

People from all over the world have been hanging out in the sun nearly-naked since the beginning or recorded time...and bikinis were invented by two Frenchmen.

...however, if there's an American TV show as nice to look at as those pics are, please enlighten the rest of us.

It'd be horrible if every nation tried to imitate a certain culture, talk about blandness. Thankfully though, most nations don't, but it still doesn't stop people in certain countries having very ignorant, and uninformed biews though.

My current favourites just now are the girls of Lebanon. Damn are they hot. Salma Hayek anyone?

Indeed.

Salma is Lesbianese?

Nah, if you look at all the photos you'd see a bit of what I'm talking about. Anyway, I'm saying that's the case in general over there, not necessarily just in relation to these photos. It's bugged me for a while, but I don't expect many Americans to be particularly perceptive to it. I'm not saying the country doesn't have its own culture, it definitely does. Since the early 90s there's definitely been an Americanizing trend, though, and it's just striking in relation to what the place used to be like before Pepsi, McDonald's, and Nike. It's probably a point I felt like making, rather than anything strictly related to the topic

BTW, check out MTV sometime

I'm glad to know that you aren't leaving Zimphire!

Don't forget to throw the plastic wrap over the monitor.

Explain to me how Israeli boobies are political.

Does ANYONE actually search before posting?

Just to let you know, that sign the guy is throwing doesn't stand for "West Side", like it does in the US. It stands for "Motherland!"
