The Israeli government wants to show you another side of Israel than you usually see on the public beaches and is “sexing up” its image with bikini clad women.

Truly incredible. And to think that the government is sponsoring this!
But the finishing phrase takes the cake:
“No Wonder they call it The Holy Land.”
What a perfect example of how traditional media takes an old idea and turns it around for tourism. Gutsy quote to go with, but strikes me as irreverent.

I think its smart to promote tourism in this way. I don’t find it offensive and think us girls are a national resource for every country. Why not promote us?
