Well, it may not be a book about a Jew and an Arab having sex, but it's still apparently racy enough to catch the attention of Israel's censors.
A commercial showing a model in a bikini is being censored on Israeli television.
The commercial, produced by the clothing company Hoodies, shows Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli on a beach.
Israel's Second Broadcasting Authority, a public agency that supervises commercial broadcasting in the Jewish country, has said that a scene showing Refaeli's backside--and a scene showing her naked--must be deleted from the ad before it can air on TV, according to reports in the Israeli media.
What's more, the commercial can only be shown after 10 p.m. so that children theoretically won't see it, the agency said.
You can watch the commercial, which features a three-months-pregnant Refaeli, below:
Although Israel calls itself a secular, democratic country, it has a small but vocal minority of ultra-Orthodox Jews who have extreme views on how women should dress, for example that they should not show their hair, shoulders, arms or legs to men who aren't their husbands.
