Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic broadsheet Changes Government Photo

Der Tzitung, a Jewish paper published in Brooklyn, photoshopped Clinton, as well at the only other woman who could be seen in the room -- Audrey Tomason, the national director of counter terrorism -- out of the frame. 


Indeed, "The Hasidic newspaper will not intentionally include any images of women in the paper because it could be considered sexually suggestive," Rabbi Jason Miller explains in The Jewish Week. Though he notes that the publication's "fauxtograpphing" may in fact be a graver act against their religious tenets: "To my mind, this act of censorship is actually a violation of the Jewish legal principle of g'neivat da'at (deceit)."

If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

However, I seriously doubt the Persian king new anything about how different the Temple in Jerusalem was from other temples.
