This Israeli newspaper altered a photo to exclude women leaders who marched after the Paris terror attacks.

It is practically an iconic photo by now -- a row of world leaders standing in solidarity next to one another, marching in Paris, united against terrorism. Most of them were men, but some were women, including Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany. She was right next to French President Francois Hollande.

But ultra-Orthodox Israeli newspaper HaMevaser published a digitally altered front-page image of the leaders with the women removed.

The unaltered photo of leaders during the march.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews traditionally don't prefer to show images of women because it's not considered modest. As Israeli newspaper Haaretz noted, political parties that represent the ultra-Orthodox sector ban women from running for office.

But some feel changing the photo of the Paris march went way too far.


What are your thoughts on this picture?
