In a brazen effort to make Israel's Nazi-like oppression of Palestinians look romantic, seductive and sexy, the quasi- pornographic American magazine, Maxim, has featured a photo-spread of topless and semi-nude Israeli female soldiers, apparently in order to show Israel's "human side."

On the magazine's on-line edition, the following introductory phrase " Are the women of the Israeli Defense Forces the world's sexiest? Yes, " is printed next to a semi-naked IDF female soldier.
