"At the insistence of the husbands of some burka-wearing women, a leading rabbinical authority is to issue an edict declaring burka wearing a sexual fetish that is as promiscuous as wearing too little."
 - Israeli Rabbis Clamp Down on Burka

No further comment necessary, really.

Well, that settles it: absolutely anything women wear will be interpreted as an invitation by someone, somewhere. This plan is looking less and less ridiculous, which is scary.

Having lived there: paradoxically for a religious country, Israel has an extremely sexualized culture, much more so than the United States. So much that some women avoid going outside alone (or go out wearing burka) because they don't want to be groped on the street. Seems the men on the Rabbi council don't like that.
