genocidal policies? systematic deportation? Oprression? And all the rest of the anti Israeli yada-yada?
7. My husband is a b@stard !!!!
wife # 2   (10.08.07)
8. I hope Israel has limitations on assistance.
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.08.07)
A husband and wife and kids make up a family. Multiple wives should be illegal and benefits to the extra wives and kids withheld. Why should this family take 63 times more resources than a typical Israeli family? Because he can't keep his pecker in his pants??
9. #5, no 'rabbit' is english for rabbit.
(10.08.07)
10. Legal situation of children born of one palestinian parent?
Franck ,   France   (10.08.07)
A new law prevents mariage between israeli and palestinian but what about their childs? Are they given israeli citizenship? I hope not, these persons are only exploiting the system for financial and demographic reasons. Even in Saudi arabia or Libya, they don't behave like that. I bet 95% of their women are not israeli (arab) but come from Gaza, WB and elsewhere in the arab world. My advise: do not naturalized their childrens, close the border and expelled those who are staying in Israel illegally. They will rapidly run dry of "cheap labors" and treat their israeli arab wife with respect, not as human factory.
11. Viagra?
leucippe   (10.08.07)
Every night with another woman??? kol ha kavod.
12. Now if any Jew did this - the athiests would have a explode
Dawid ,   Israel   (10.08.07)
They would demand that all their children be forcibly taken away and for the father to be imprisoned for life. They would scream bloody murder at any relative/friend of the person. But because it is a Muslim, "we must respect their ways".
13. WMDs
AJ ,   Tel Aviv   (10.08.07)
Forget nuclear weapons, we are dealing with something much more dangerous: WOMBS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! Neutralise this demographic bomb now!
14. Why do women keep marrying these chauvinistic old codgers?
Barbara ,   USA   (10.08.07)
Who needs the aggravation of rival wives and packs of children?
15. He's receiving around 14 000 shekalim
Ethan Solal ,   Montreal Canada   (10.08.07)
I called after reading this article a friend in Yerushalaim, he's a high rank social worker working for the ministry of social welfare ; without knowing this particular case, he asked if all the kids are under 18 and living at home with their parents: I said YES. Then he told me he should receive around 14 000 shekalim EVERY MONTHS. Good job the leftist. Go arabs, go : take care of your wives, the State of Israel will take care of you!

20. Good to see subjugation of women alive and well...
Micha   (10.09.07)
looks like a wonderful culture. When you get tired of one, move on to the next. And they do everything he says. Man, that is some wonderful life. At least he's living in the 9th century. No longer in the 8th. Bravo.
21. He's marrying slaves not wives.
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.09.07)
" my wives do whatever I want " tantamount to slavery and the state of Israel to recognize this kinda practice is immoral. Amnesty International should be asking the kids where would they rather be, in Israel or Gaza.
22. This guy must have a HUGE
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (10.09.07)
sense of humor.
23. See what can happen when you don't have a hobby.
Yossi ,   Levittown, PA, US   (10.09.07)
And he breeds camels, too?
24. He must be sterilized. It's illigal to have 9 wifes
Alex   (10.09.07)
25. This is like the Fundamentalist Mormons in America...
Rivkah   (10.09.07)
They legally marry one wife and then have other women they call wives who draw welfare checks for all the children. It is a racket to get money. Finally, California wised up and put a five year limit on unwed mothers getting welfare before they go on workfare (working at least part time). So the Hare Krishna Hindu sect in California draws the money they can from welfare and then move on to Hawaii to draw five years of welfare there. I can understand a man like Solomon or David who SUPPORTED ALL their wives, concubines, and children. It is difficult for me to justify or to understand milking the government for a lot of concubines who are called wives without a legal document. The Bible says if you do not provide for your own, you have denied the faith and are worse than an unbeliever. Relying on the government for assistance when the father should be supporting the family or not have such a large family, is not providing for your own.
26. maximum wives for a muslim are four, but
(10.09.07)
Israel permits extra four for the collaborators!

28. Rivkah, Finally a good and clear talkback from you!

Sorry about teasing you in the other talkbacks!
29. Shahdah's number one!
Richard ,   New York, USA   (10.09.07)
That man is a sex machine! A one-man baby factory! Wow! He says there is no shortage of women as they're all lining up. He's the man!
30. Greedy
MF ,   Israel   (10.09.07)
The Muslim restriction of only 4 wives to 1 man, means that the additional females are concubines and this has a long tradition in more primitive societies. It is also a meal ticket for all those bargain basement "wives" from the refugee camps. I would expect that Israel family allowance would be given for the underage children of the the 1st 4 at the most. Multiple marriages are not legal in Israel for most of us. In any case, fact is that the family allowance money is paid in the mother's name, so there is the taxpayers' problem in a nutshell
