Make love not war: Israeli adult Web site promotes reconciliation in new way
By Jon Kalish, The Forward
There is one place in the Middle East where Arabs and Jews seem to be getting along quite well. It's the Israeli Web site Parpar1.com, where amateur pornography features Arabs and Jews at each other's throats - but only for erotic purposes.
Founded by two Tel Aviv computer professionals, the Web site has been serving up such X-rated fare as "Kosher Lesbians," "The Rabbi's Daughter" and "Sex Party in Jerusalem" since 2001. Parpar1 has hundreds of hours of video porn featuring amateur performers. It is a pay service that can be accessed on the Web or via mobile phone.
Co-owner Avi Levy said that in addition to Israel, cell phones can get the adult content in England, Spain and Italy. Romania will soon follow. Levy says Parpar1 videos will be available on cable television in Canada eventually.
Despite an introductory video that proclaims "Make Love, Not War," the 42-year-old computer programmer-turned-porn entrepreneur says his porn site is clearly a commercial endeavor with no political overtones.
"I'm not a politician. I'm here to make money," Levy said. Levy and his partner, a Web developer named Shay Malol, were convinced that the way to succeed in their new business was to offer something special in the world of porn. And they decided that the niche they would stake out would be hardcore pornography featuring homegrown Israelis, both Jews and Arabs.
"We don't think the Arab is less than the Jew," Levy said.
None of the "performers" in Parpar1's sex films was born outside the Holy Land. (more at link)
