1. Any Haredi, not just NK
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
who acts or speaks against Israel or lives in Israel and refuses to abide by the laws of the Land should be stripped of citizenship and deported.
2. #1 Hear, hear 100% correct
Peter ,   Raanana, ISrael   (01.07.07)
3. Operation screwball
Meyer ,   Isreal   (01.07.07)
Sagi, In a democracy one is allowed to speak as they feel. Those who do not abide by the laws should be jailed. All Kenneset members should be treated exactly the same as regular citizens and have NO immunity either.
4. #1 stripping and deporting....
joseph ,   chesterfield.co.uk   (01.07.07)
is too good for them,unless they are stripped naked and deported to Iran.what do you think,charles?
5. Only Haredim/Chassidim live in Monsey
Sarit   (01.07.07)
so not sure how many Jews will show up at the rally tomorrow. Most Monsey Jews probably agree or at least sympathize with these NK Jewish Taliban pieces of drek.
6. to sagi-deporting haridim
chaim ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
Why not say anyone Jewish or Arab who refuses to abide by the laws of the land should be deported? Why do you only say haridim?
7. #1: How about the Israeli Arabs who are worse?
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (01.07.07)
8. Jewdipus complex
Alice   (01.07.07)
saggy peter (and the rest of the jewdipus complex, shrimp crowd )have SO MUCH IN COMMON with the chareidim. Both fanatics. Chareidim fanatic about religion, Shrimpistim fanatic in their hatred. Oh, I fought in eighteen and a half wars, and my four chidren did combat duty in twenty five elite units. ...and their children do miluim three hundred and twenty times a year., and I'm too old to leave the country but I hope the kids and grand kids do. Hope you all recognise this hilarious shrimp 'krap' Ho ho ho. But there are drugs available that could help you 'guys'(?)
9. Sarit of the sweeping statements
Yael   (01.07.07)
Our conservative style cousins live in Monsey. Hope you don't mind...
10. Wait for it sagipeters
Myra   (01.07.07)
There's an article in hebrew ynet just now about chareidim using more health products etc, so get your shrimpfilled poisoned pens ready, 'boys'.
11. secular intolerance
tma   (01.07.07)
You people are sickening. How dare you compare ALL religious Jews to NK??? And why didn't you include all the secular Jew haters who are always demonstrating on behalf of the arab terrorists, such as one Tali ynet wrote about last week? There are plenty of those. Why didn't you include them in your tirade, Sagi??? Why isn't Charles responding to this article yet, to add his own venom? On his way to collect his unemployment check, paid by my, and other religious people's tax money? Get a job, lazy parasite!
12. would 1 & 2
Yisraeli   (01.07.07)
call for the deportation of arabs in Israel? I somehow think not. Perhaps it is they who are the real traitors to the Jewish people.
13. I'd rather eat shrimp than kiss the likes of Amedinnerjacket
Moshe ,   NY   (01.07.07)
Who's worse: someone who eats shrimp or someone who throws rocks at other Jews, beats up women on Jerusalem busses and kisses Amedinnerjacket at a HOLOCAUST DENIAL conference?
14. #1 Sagi, You Should Be Out First - The Law of the Land
Eli ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
is G-d's law. So you certainly should "be stripped of citizenship and deported". G-d gave this holy land to the Jews and wants the Jews to abide by HIS laws. If you don't like it, leave and take along your G-dless friends.
15. you are clueless
Ed ,   Monsey   (01.07.07)
You are clueless, not only chareidim and chassidim livein Monsey, like Israel it has a rich and diverse mix, of chareidi, modern orthodox, yeshiva crowd, conservativeand reform jews, about 500 Monsey Jews will be there protesting NK, INCLUDING chassidim.
16. #9 his middle name is Hussein, not Osama
Dana   (01.07.07)
"Conservative Style" aka Jewish Taliban
17. # 6 Chaim
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
The article is about Haredim, not Arabs or any other sector of society, I related and responded to the content.
18. We are the "Screwballs" for giving in to the Haredim
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.07.07)
The Haredim dance on the Memorial Day for Israel's fallen. They demand total Sabbath observance even by those who wish to exercise freedom of choice. They deny secular and non-Jewish Israelis the right to work on Shabbat and thus supplement their income. Most of these are young adults who are trying to save money to go to university and college. The ultimate Haredi victory is the denial of Israelis the right to travel by public transport on Shabbat. Their power is so great that, once again, El Al has sold out to them. The Haredim are the minority in Israel but they manage to cripple the country each time they don't get the own way. No, I am not against the religious. I am against religious coercion. So, any action against the Haredim for their behavior against the Jewish people would be futile as no one will stick his neck out and boycott the Haredim. That, my secular and moderate friends, is a fact of life. Basically, there is no difference between Jewish Fundamentalism and Islamic Fundamentalism. The Jewish Fundamentalists cripple the economy and kill freedom of choice. The Islamic Fundamentalists kill people and try to destroy Israel. In Some Haredi circles, they even support the Arabs in their quest and we give in every time!

I am not always ready to answer to a unknown "woman" , i have interessanter things to do . You do not know what you are talking about . The only thing i'm receiving here , are bills to pay . Also Mas briout . You do'nt know , that not all Israelis are entitled to Bituach Leumi , and in my case , it would even be immoral for me to ask for it . If you do not believe , ask your local Bituach Leumi branch , then you will not write such stupiditys . You can only write such things by the way . It's not because the charidi , mostly , act so , to live on others tax , that every one does it . And as long as all those nk are not unther a total cherem , not a partly one or some condemnations , i consider ALL the charidim the same anti Israeli's . The leftists , as you and your obscurant friends say , are those who , for the most , have built this country , serve in IDF , will defend it , contribute to it . and this contrary to most of those charidim .
20. Eli
charles ,   petach tikva   (01.07.07)
If Sagi , and all his non believers would leave this country THEY have built , with their blood and perspiration , who will feed those charidi Shekel succers ? You ? Who will defend it ? you ? So eli , and this is for your friends too , do not spray your hate for GOOD JEWISH ISREALIS .
21. # 9 and 10 Surprise
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
Your attacks on me only show your shallow thoughts and your inability to offer a coherent argument. I happen to have a great love of Jewish tradition, I happen to keep a reasonably kosher home for all of my 3 score years and 10, I happen to have a great love of the Hebrew language and its sources and etymology, I have never in my life eaten non kosher meat or shrimps etc. I do not hate anyone. I dislike Haredim on account of their behaviour and on account of the fact that they try to impose their ways on society by violent means and by political coercion. I also dislike them for the fact that they refuse to speak Hebrew in the way the language was adopted by the State and in the way sanctioned by the Academy for the Hebrew Language. I dislike them on account of the fact that they are still living in the mode of their forefathers in Poland and Russia where they were despised, hated and slaughtered, they even look to this mode of living with a certain nostalgia and use terms of endearment such as "heim". Have you ever heard of a secular Jew throwing stones at Haredim ? This country belongs to me as well as them and if I wish to work or travel on Shabbat I shall do so and whoever elects to eat non kosher shall do so. The Haredim have no moral, ethical or legal right to tell others what to do, more so to force them by using boycotts, stones or other means of violence. Everything in this world and life of ours is a two way street. Those who think it is one way will only finish up at a dead end.
22. Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black
Marlene ,   New York City   (01.07.07)
The people who launched this website sould like they're fanatical. They don't even have the guts to come out in the open to announce who they are. Neuteri Karta were always despised anyway since they are strong anti-Zionists, and anyone who has attended any kind of Palestinian rally speaking out against Israel's inhumanity has been branded a traitor.
23. # 14 Eli
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
The law of the land happens to be the law as laid down in statute by the elected body, namely the Knesset, and enacted and enforced by the police and courts of law. The problem is that you and all your sympathizers have either not noticed this or choose to ignore it. God's law is for theocracies and last time I checked they don't get very far down the road of life.

charles ,   petach tikva   (01.07.07)
generally , people who pay taxes are working . You agree ? But you are always on your PC , spraying hate , is that your work ? are you paid for this ? Your good friend , gabriela , also told me once to go to look for work . She also was without knowledge about Israeli laws , and was also stupidly thinking that i lived on her taxes . But with your stupid tb's i understand more and more your shame to have your name and town known .
25. to # 8 Alice [ in wonderland ?]
charles ,   petach tikva   (01.07.07)
You were be maybe right over the common hate spraying . but what are you writing ? is this not 100 % hatred ? and only one sided of course . Are you jealous of the shrimps and other fine food eaters ? you are right , you mis much delicatesses .
26. to Ed , in Monsey
charles ,   petach tikva   (01.07.07)
Good to hear there are 500 Jews protesting the nk , and i agree with you that not all religious people are nk friends . There are also good , even very good religious and Charidi men and women , sad to say not enough . A question , how many Jews live there ?
27. To all secular bashers
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
Just in case I have been misunderstood.God's law as written in the Ten Commandments is of PRIME importance. Democracy and its principles and ideals are of CARDINAL importance. Man can not aspire to any higher thoughts and actions other than freedom of thought and speech and pusuit of happiness and mutual respect.
28. No 1 Should apply to secular left wing morons as well.
S Judah ,   London   (01.07.07)
There are many more of these then of the accursed NK. Trouble is they look just like, well how should I put, like any non observant Jew.
29. #21 I second that motion
Elokim ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
I have to say...it's great to know there is someone else on these talkbacks that can see the truth. I, like you, don't hate my fellow humans. Dislike or oppose would be the best terms. If they want to live theoretically then so be it. They may survive.....they may not as you can see from their past. Violence and coercion, such is their means....will end as you say in a "dead end"!!! Stay strong and live long and prosper. Trust everyone, it's the devil inside each of them you need to watch out for......
30. #23 If the Law of THIS G-d Given Land Is Against G-d's
Eli ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
Torah, they have no right enforcing it upon religious Jews who abide by G-d's Torah. G-d's Torah is HIGHER AND ABOVE Israeli laws which are anti-Torah. If this country is run like all other non-Jewish countries in the world without any Torah values, what makes the Jews the "owner" of this country? The Arabs, the English, the French, the Chinese and everyone else have equal rights to it and may equally be sitting in the "judges' seat" and as prime minister.
