No, it’s not a joke. Rabbi Ari Shvat has ruled that it is permissible for female agents of Israel’s spy service, Mossad, to use sex as a tool to fight terror.
So-called “Honey Pot Sex” in which terrorists or potential terrorists are seduced not only into bed, but into divulging information about their own guilt, that of their comrades or most importantly, about impending terror operations is permissible according to Jewish law.
My only question is why Rabbi Shvat only ruled on women? What about male agents using sex to seduce women terrorists? Is this sexist or are there no men who can get that job done for Israel?
