Study: Most Israelis want to legalize prostitution
The majority of Jewish Israelis are interested in granting business licenses to prostitutes, a recent study showed.
The study, presented Tuesday in the Knesset by Mina Tzemach, found that 65 percent of Israelis believe that the government should provide medical supervision for the prostitutes.

#2  Thanks, gromgorru. It's nice to get all the good news in one place... although I don't understand why anyone would want to legalize prostitution. Isn't the illegality of it all part of the fun?
