Paula Rosenberg last night (Sunday) published a series of stories on her Instagram account, which boasts tens of thousands of followers, during which she came out against the Shas party's bill according to which a heavy fine or six months in prison would be imposed on those who dress inappropriately at the entrance to the Western Wall, and severely attacked and criticized the The ultra-orthodox party responsible for it.

"The anxiety that discrimination and legislation against women creates, may cause some of us to give up our dreams, our passions, the possibility of living the way we want," explained Paula first.
"Don't call them 'cowards'! Absolutely not. They are practical. Not all of them are interested or able to live the struggle. One can understand someone who prefers not to experience the loneliness or resistance of the immediate environment, the community or the family, when she tries to break away from the values of the patriarchy. It is not Easy," she added.
She then proceeded to talk about the proposal itself.
"It never ends with just a bill that requires imprisonment for a woman who does not dress modestly," argued Rosenberg.
"This is just the beginning," she warned.
"If we give in to this, we will pave the way for other ways to trample on women's freedom to choose how to live, what to work for, who to love," she continued.
"The Shas bill, of half a year in prison for women who dress immodestly on the Western Wall plaza, is an example of whipping and intimidation", valid.
"It harms and weakens some women to the point of harming their self-esteem, which leads to depression and health and mental damage. This is how stereotypes are reinforced and the expectation of women to give themselves up, which makes it difficult for them to defend themselves against violence or harassment!", she expressed her opinion regarding the broad consequences of the matter.
"Even if the proposal does not pass, the very fact that it is discussed, creates emotional terror and conveys a message to women: beware!".
