Kim Kardashian was removed or blurred out of photos appearing on an Orthodox Israeli news site during her trip to the Middle East country this week.
The reason? Because she is a "pornographic symbol" of course.
Amazingly, it's not what the star was wearing in Jerusalem, where she and rapper husband Kanye West had their daughter North West baptized this week.
It's just that Kim Kardashian exists and showed up there at all ...
Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at the Kikar HaShabbat news website, said they removed Kim from the photo above because she's a "pornographic symbol."
As such, her presence contradicts Orthodox Jewish values.
The original picture of Kim, Kanye and Jerusalem's Mayor Nir Barkat was hilariously altered to put her behind a restaurant receipt. Truly A+ Photoshop work.
Kardashian was blurred or cropped out of other pics, too.
In an article chiding Barkat for dining with them - at a non-kosher restaurant, no less - the website referred to Kardashian not by name, simply "West's wife."
Damn, that's got to sting hard. We're guessing they aren't going to preview an advance copy of Kim Kardashian selfie book in a fun weekend feature.
Kim isn't alone here, for what it's worth. Within the insular Ultra-Orthodox community the site caters to, photos of women often aren't shown out of modesty.
In January, a similar controversy erupted after another Orthodox newspaper made the decision to remove a photo of ... German chancellor Angela Merkel.
Not exactly a woman who poses like this online ...
