1. and Shas?
Yisraeli   (03.07.08)
The letter should have included the greatest scorn on Shas for still being in this government.
2. #1 SHAS
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (03.07.08)
Maybe Shas will finally throw up all the pork Olmert has been feeding them and take down the real murderers who hand one victory after another to the ayatollahs. Olmert, Livni, Shas, Barak, ..., Just hand the keys to the Knesset over to the ayatollahs already and spare us all this prolonged agony. OOPS, I forgot...you guys are working for them...sorry.
3. Most of the terror victims were just hs students
Batya ,   shiloh, Israel   (03.07.08)
Yes, just teenage boys, not "Eight rabbinical students." Merkaz Harav has a high school and there are times when they all learn together.
4. olmert will just threaten & do nothing
Al T. Alana ,   Y-m   (03.07.08)
arabs respect force. both Sharon & olmert have shown nothing but retreat in the face of arab demands. Now, olmert wants to please Rice & the arabs know it. A people get the leadership it deserves. If the elctorate keeps voting for Kadima & Shas, God help us.
5. when you're right, you're right
roar   (03.07.08)
no one needs to say more.
6. govt. not responsible
usa   (03.07.08)
the situation is. the incursion of force in GAZA was too great 120 palestinians were killed. it just breeds hate. this awful crime is not excused. my condolences go out to the familes. but Palestinian familes suffer too.
7. If the Haredim served in IDF, they could defend themselves
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (03.07.08)
If the Haredim would serve in IDF then they might have had the training and skills to have killed the terrorists before the casualties figures rose so high. A good example of training and reactions was the policeman who put 4 bullets in the head of the second terrist before he could explode his belt. The Torah commanded everyone 21 year old and up to go to the army. Moshe held his hand high in the battle with Amalek until they were weary and he received support from those around him. Haredim do not lift a finger.
8. SHAS SOLD ISRAEL FOR $500 MIL
ACO SHUMADINAC ,   BLA   (03.07.08)
SHAME ON GOVERMENT
9. THIS IS THE RABBIS' FAULT !
Nechuniah ben Hakana ,   Safed   (03.07.08)
THIS IS THE RABBIS' FAULT ! The rapid decline of Israel is the fault of the Rabbis. Rabbinical Judaism has dead ended itself and all of the rest of us. The calamity at the Yeshivah of Rav Kook is the exclamation point. The Rabbis for two thousand years have collaborated with the ruling empires of their times. Ezekiel 9 says what it says. Stop blaming the enemy, the enemy is us, as David said: "It is time for us to act for You HaShem, for they have made void your Torah (Psalms 119:126)." The "they" is the Rabbis, they have led us here, Olmert and Livni and Barak are their princes who fund their yeshivot, anointed by their failure to make Israel the Land of HaShem ruled by His Torah. Prima facie evidence? The Temple Mount, still desecrated after 40 years of our recapturing it. Shame, shame, perdurable shame! What a shameful moment in Jewish history!
10. Olmert must go
David Masada ,   Orlando, USA   (03.07.08)
We need a real leader who will erradicate the palestinians scums, send them to jordan where they belong !!!
11. Force Shas to leave government
Techsyn   (03.07.08)
Why don't the religious force Shas to leave the Olmert government so they can vote for a government that will defend them?
12. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BECOME MENTAL AT THE TOP ? B?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.07.08)
WHO ASSESSES THE MENTAL STABILITY OF DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADERS?.WHAT ARE THE LEGAL/MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS TO REMOVE THEM IF THEY SUFFER FROM PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPAIREMENT BUT REFUSE TO BE TREATED .THIS REFUSAL TO STEP DOWN MEANS ...THAT THERE IS NO "BEST MAN FOR THE TOP JOB"AND, AS LEMMINGS TO HIS WHIM,,ARE LIKELY TO STEER OURSELVES OVER THE CLIFF.!...THIS SEEMS TO BE THE "ACHILES HEEL"OF THE WONDERFUL DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM WE HAVE IN ISRAEL TODAY..., WE CANNOT WAIT UNTIL A VOTE IS TAKEN AT THE NEXT ELECTION !, WE APPEAR TO BE LEADERLESS,AS ABBAS,EXERTS HIS "SVENGALI WAY" OVER OUR PRIME MINISTER. ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS MUST BE FOUND.SOON..,FOR OUR GOVERNMENT APPEARS TO BE OUT OF TOUCH ,AND HAS LOST THE EAR OF THE PEOPLE .
13. Abbas cannot be trusted.
Jean Van Daem   (03.07.08)
"I wanted to establish a unity government with Hamas that would negotiate with Israel," he said. "Syria's Bashar Assad supported me... I am not the only one who wants recognition of Israel; the Arab initiative, which is a matter of consensus in the Arab and Islamic worlds, also says this." Abbas was happy about rejecting the notion of Israel as a "Jewish state." He said that in the Annapolis Summit of last November, "they wanted us to agree to a summation saying that Israel is a Jewish state, and we objected strongly. The summit almost blew up because of this." The roots and the targets of the “Palestinian” nationalism are explainet at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/02/communist-roots-of-palestinian_342.html

Israel   (03.07.08)
How dare you spout forth total falsehoods like this based on no factual evidence? Most students in the Yeshiva that was attacked serve in the army. It is not a charedi Yeshiva. Be ashamed of yourself for spouting lies!
15. IT'S YOUR FAULT,YOU VOTED FOR OLMERT & STILL KEEPING HIM

RW ,   Jeruslame   (03.07.08)
"If the Haredim would serve in IDF then they might have had the training and skills to have killed the terrorists before the casualties figures rose so high. " They were not Haredim. They were boys who DO eventually serve in the army and STILL it didn't help. Nice try in attacking the Haredim though. Real appropriate at this time of sorrow.

shmuel ,   ra'anana   (03.07.08)
The officer who shot the terrorist was a graduate of the yeshiva. Did you notice the ages of the students, not old enough to serve in the army but old enough to die for our country.

Bob   (03.07.08)
"Haredim do not lift a finger. " While you were wasting time surfing the internet, writing falsehoods, you'll notice that a large percentage of those in the rescue and clean-up effort were in fact Chareidim. Who's the parasite here who doesn't "lift a finger"? The one of trolls the web or those Chareidim who serve to save lives. Perhaps they don't regularly serve in the IDF, but they do A LOT of behind the scenes charity work that you could never match.
19. G-d pulling strings
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (03.07.08)
These terrorist attacks are pulling the strings of Israel.s leaders which will force them to incinerate the entire arab world just like 9/11 pulled Bush.s strings to invade Afghanistan and Iraq .If Israel's leaders incinerate the entire Arab world there will be no more terrorist attacks as no more strings will be needed to be pulled HAPPY PURIM
20. We're ALL Responsible - Don't SHIRK
YS ,   Eretz Yisrael   (03.07.08)
We're all responsible - make no mistake. This is MIDAH KENEGED Midah. But this also indicates CLEARLY that Olmert & Co. have no souls.
21. 7# murdered Kids
gabriela ben ari ,   Jerusalem   (03.07.08)
Take your hate and misinformation to another forum dude. First -Yeshiva Mercaz Harav make for the best soldiers. Second - The arab targeted the high school students guard. He knew perfectly well where to head to. Kids do not carry weapons, whereas the adult programs probably do have a good number of students being able to appy some self defence
22. It is because Shas is still in the coalition!
redmike ,   tel aviv   (03.07.08)
Every time there is an earthquake or a disaster then the extreme orthodoxy claim that it was because of the secularists. I am not really suggesting that this horrible and despicable event happened because of Shas remaining in the Government but the arguments are on a par. Shas remains in a government that wants to divide Jerusalem, give up land etc and this catastrophe occurs to a flagship yeshiva. The seculars would be right to point fingers. But not today! Mike
23. return to Adonai
vida ,   usa   (03.08.08)
Shema Ysrael Adonai Echad Return to Adonai return to the word of the Lord return to Biblical Judaism reject Rabinical Judaism, why was the 2nd temple destoyed? for defaning Adonai..He has given Israel another chance!! Return to Him

25. armed guards
galut jew   (03.12.08)

26. Hey Pete, Pay Your Tithe
Thomas   (03.13.08)
