Well, it's good to see that there aren't any tasteless Holocaust jokes in the comments section.
Interesting shots...
Everyone seems to be keeping their distance from the big, pale-skinned woman in slide 5.

Nudity for the sake of nudity--what's the point here, exactly? Close your eyes in disgust, Michelangelo.....

I just don't really understand the idea behind it !!!

One wrote a comment saying how lovely all Israelis are who are naked and the comment was not approved? Well we shall try again: Israelis who are naked are most lovely and most adorable... more adorable than people who carry guns and are harsh and cruel and violent. Now is this comment so bad that it not pass moderators ?

If all meetings between heads of countries, especially military leaders were conducted naked there would be fewer wars.

We all look so much human in the nude.

We have a shared humanity. I thought that we would get better and more humane verdicts in trial if they were conducted naked.

Very true. Uniforms and medals especially destroy peoples humanity.
