1. ONE JEW DOES NOT REPRESENT THE JEWISH RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.05.05)
And, ONE JEW DOES NOT REPRESENT ALL JEWS! Jew-haters use EVERY opportunity to spew forth their Jew-hate by blaming ALL Jews for the actions of ONE Jew. As was the case when this horrible incident was reported. Thank G-D no one was killed.
2. Sick
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen Md. USA   (07.05.05)
This so-called Ultra-Orthodox person is either mentally ill and delusional or else he has been brainwashed. In fact, he sounds a lot like Islamic terrorists who believe that their Deity approves of mass murder so that their form of the religion will be triumphant. I hope that he is just a sick person rather than someone who is being taught cult-like teachings which go against everything that the Jewish religion stands for.

but with wackos like that acting out of 'god', or what his perception of god is, he is as bad as any extremist muslim. he should be taken off of the streets.
4. Jerusalem Pride
Rabbi Andrew Sacks ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.05.05)
It is because of the unenlightened appraoch od too many in the observatnt community that many Conservative rabbis have joined a group called Keshet-Rabbis. You can see the growing list of names of rabbis who advocate for inclusion of Gays, and are available for counseling.
5. Jewish extremism
TC ,   Tel Aviv   (07.05.05)
One jew doesn't represent all jews, thanks G-.\n But this one surely represents the jewish extremism at its best and especially what a few would be ready to do in order to foil the disengagement plan.\n Does the name Rabbin rings a bell to anyone?

7. TIME TO SEND A MESSAGE
Elijah ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.05.05)
I might not necessarily agree with his methods but IMHO it was time to send a message to this whole gay-bunch (inside and outside Israel too). And the message is quite clear: JERUSALEM IS OFF-LIMITS FOR YOU GUYS (yes, guys only. why? that's a different topic.)
8. to #7 im quite partial to lesbians myself

9. don't take it that easy
(07.06.05)
those who attacked the world trade center they said too that god sent them , so be careful people you are not far away from local terrorism , the killing of mr. Rabin (God bless him) was the alarm but you didn't care too much , it seams the Israeli socity will suffer soon on the hands of those terrorists fondamentalists like what's happend in the Arab world before and still

Evan Edwards ,   Canton, OH US   (07.06.05)
Actually, Elijah, the message is that Jerusalem, in fact all freedom, is off-limits to the alleged attempted murderer. Gays are still free to live, work, and play in Jerusalem. The alleged attempted murderer is the one who is, rightfully, being held in captivity like the animal he is. You, and your kind (homophobes and hate-mongers) are the only ones who seem to see a different message. May G-d take mercy on your soul.

Gary Konecky ,   Fair Lawn, NJ, USA   (07.06.05)
While it is true that one one Jew does not represent all Jews, it is also true that hate filled bigoted Jews protested Gay Pride events in New York as well as Jerusalem. Therefore, it is not one Jew, but numerous Jews who hate the LGBTI community.
12. TIME TO SEND A MESSAGE
Gary Konecky ,   Fair Lawn, NJ, USA   (07.06.05)
It is bigots like you that make me ashamed to be a Jew because people may think i am a bigoted PIG like you.
13. Sick
Gary Konecky ,   Fair Lawn, NJ, USA   (07.06.05)
Alas, he is not one person but part of a sizable movement in Judiaism that believes in homophobia. He took what he was taught and carried it to its logical conclusion.
14. # 7's Comment
Faith ,   Israel   (07.06.05)
So tell me, Elijah, is Jerusalem also going to be off-limits for all the ultra-orthodox Jews who commit incest, abuse their wives, abuse their children, and sexually molest children too??? Or is that ok with the rabbis, privided it is done with hetrosexuals??? Isn't all the above also against the laws as written down in the Torah? I suggest you go over the ten commandments again, until you understand the concept of Judaism.
15. To Gary, Time to Send a Message
NYC Girl   (07.06.05)
While I understand why you might feel that way, I wouldn't worry too much about what bigots think of you...they'll always find an excuse. And, believe me, Christians aren't ashamed of being Christian (nor should they be) because a handful of fanatics showed up at Matthew Shepard's funeral carrying signs that said "God Hates Fags." Because, while I find what this Jew did absolutely abhorrent, in no way does he represent the majority of Jews...not in this country or in Israel.
16. Prejudice is bad, anytime
Larry ,   São Paulo, Brazil   (10.09.05)
I see the monsters of prejudice and hate are still alive everywhere, even in the beloved Israel. The Jews have suffered prejudice anywhere we are, outside our Land of Israel. So, such feelings should not have a place in our hearts. Every human being, Jews, Gentiles, Blacks, Whites and even the Gays are all children of the same God. Think of that.
