Ultra-Orthodox attack man carrying Israeli flag in Jerusalem     Efrat Weiss
1. Take away their benefits
Stuff Nutrei Karta. Revoke their benefits and any government assistance. I was attacked once by Heredim a few years back for wearing long shorts and sandels on a hot day in Meir Sharim. They are just a bunch of hypocrites. Send the to the PA. Arrest the beduin also.

2. This is news worth reporting?
#1 the guy is an idiot for provoking these people. Why didn't he just take a walk through Ras Al Amud or Jabel Mukaber or Bethlehen with his flag. #2 the flag is irrelevant today, the new flag is a plain white one a sign of surrender to the Arabs at the behest of Coondelesbian Rice the Domintrix of the Middle East. The two stripes are suppossed to represent the Mediterainian and the Euphrates Rivers. Kadima , Labor Meretz and the Arabs have no intention of Israel ever stretching between these two bodies of water. #3 Today's State of Israel has as much to do with ZIONISM as Gaza has to do with Democracy. #4 The Neturei Karta shares more than you think with Olmert and Company! Olmert's daughter attends the same anti Israel conferences as the Neturei Karta does!!!!!!!!

3. If J'lem should be divided anyway...
...can't we reach an agreement with the Palestinians that Mea Shearim and some other neighbourhoods full of those zealot lunatics will be on their side of the border? I'm willing to give up some extra land in order to get rid of them, security threats and all. It surely would do Jewish Jerusalem a lot of good. And they'll be happy too, not having to live in that evil Zionist state anymore. Everybody wins! (except the Arabs probably.) An alternative would be to build a big wall around those neigbourhoods (we are experts in that anyway) and let them rot in their own filth. The Gaza model applied to Mea Shearim. I don't know where they deserve it more...

4. An Improvement
YNet titled this article: Neturei Karta - rather than by their normal trick of the vague title, Hareidim. Thanks YNet! Neturei Karta are total idiots and are not mainstream Hareidim at all.

5. Neturei Hamas
Throw these Israel-haters out of Jerusalem and let them live with their friends in Ramallah.

8. Israel*s politics is the problem, not the anti-Jewish Jews.
to have such headlines as the Rabbinical Court throw out ten years of conversions based on intra-sect dogma; to hear an anti-Zionist orthodox Rabbi Ashkenazi call a pro-Zionist orthodox Rabbi Shermon a cancer on Judaism, the "sinat Chinam" of the second temple destruction; is this the image Israel wants the Diaspora to see, to absorb, to judge the country whose sole purpose for creation by the Diaspora was to serve as shelter, refuge for the Diaspora? Because when push comes to shove, when the need again arises, the image Israel is projecting to our Diaspora as self-centered and selective as to Who is a Jew is creating a psychological barrier, will make those in need hesitate, will cost many lives. And Israel, because of the fear of her political system of offending certain haredi elements who are both anti Zionist and anti-Jewish, who fought against a state not delivered by the messiah and so would have left our survivors stranded in DP camps in Germany after the war; the same haredi elements who are entirely non-productive, pay no taxes, live off welfare and refuse to serve Israel in any capacity, including military service; these same elements who yet enjoy the benefits of democracy so riot in the streets on Independence Day in protest to the very existence of a state for the Jews; who are even allowed to sit on the Rabbinical Court and legislate Who is a Jew: Israel is not only harming the character of the Jewish state, but will one day have blood on its hands for those who hesitate, until it is too late.

9. Neturei Karta is an insult to Judaism
This is what happen when , in the same fashion as some Islamic subeducated groups do , bunches of zealots who have not yet digested the teachings of the Torah clearly demonstrate that religion can be dangerous to one's brain. Zionism is the best thing that ever happened to Judaism. One can agree or not agree but the facts are here : without Basel, there would be no state of Israel. I strongly doubt that their actions have God's blessing !!!

10. Why so much attention for these shmucks?
How come YNet never writes a feature article about the Nahal Haredi? Could it be YNet has an agenda?

11. Deport these nut-cases!

13. Neturi Karta doesn't take any government benefits!
(05.07.08)
14. I w'2 dead family members do not hate u I feel sorry 4 u!
and no I don't just feel sorry for the Neturei Karta, I feel sorry for all of the hateful TBers here. All of you seem to have forgotten that today isn't for hating, or political arguments, Today is the day we remember and honor the memory of our dead. Today is the day we remember that they and have made the maximum sacrifice and paid with their lives so that we all might sit back and criticize, so that we all might sit back and hate. Aren't any of you ashamed of yourselves?

15. To # 14
Nothing to be ashamed of ! remember the sacrifices of those fallen does not blind the fact that today , in Israel, there are so called Jews who are ready to compromise with dictators like Nazinedjad....and this in itself should be a reminder that we also have our rotten apples in our own basket. Nothing to do with those fallen who will always be remembered as you well know . There is no hate in underlining facts : Neturei karta is an insult to Judaism !

18. This has to do with Neturei Karta--NOT "ultra-orthodox"
Very unfair how all ultra-orthodox Jews were slandered by this article when ulra-orthodox have nothing to do with Neturei Karta aggressiveness. This is way worse than blaming all Arabs for what a few did wrong, because ultra-orthodox Jews are taught we have no affiliation with Neturei Karta. Neturei Karta are Satmer rejects.
Yaakov ,   Bnai Brak/Los Angele   (05.07.08)
19. On a day like today, could not all Jews
unite. I cannot comprehend this Neturei Karta. They should be banned and sent outside Israel, to Iran for instance. I know Ahmedinejad loves them very much, kissing and hugging when they meet. A stranger cult you have to search hard for.
(05.07.08)
20. Neturei Karta Should Emigrate To Iran
These quisling misfits are an embarrassment to all Jews everywhere and should be deported to Iran. They deserve each other.

21. 13- you take handouts from the arabs instead.
(05.07.08)
22. #13 - No Government Benefits -
1. Patently false from a financial/welfare base. @. Patently false as the Government as represented by the IDF, protects these scum from our outside enemies. Alas, the freedoms to be morons are guarenteed to these morons by the very state they despise. The day will come though, when the rest of us will be so sick of them that the riots will come from us. As no-one, especially not G-d is on their side, they will have noone come to their rescue.

23. every anti israeli group is violent. what up with that?
(05.07.08)
24. Arrest, Convict and Prosecute Them ASAP
We have them too here in the States, but they would not dare to attack anyone, least another Jew. It's because our police, and sheriffs would use their batons...if they didn't shoot first. These people, like others in Israel who take to the streets, have no fear of your authorities or authority for that matter. That is the crux of this insurrection. If Israel wants to tolerate their exemption from the IDF, and paying taxes, and or working, that's a social problem. But this goes too far. An eye for an eye...seems not to be respected by anyone. Sure, having an Israeli flag was provocative..but using force against him violates their own bible verses. The solution: if they break (Israeli) laws, arrest, prosecute and incarcerate them. Pandering to them, or the Orthodox in the Strip, was Israel's big mistake. Either it is a small country with law and order, or it isn't. Give them a finger, and they will take the entire body. Is anyone surprised that only 18,000 Jews moved to Israel last year? Not to me. 10m Jews worldwide and 18,000 relocate...how come? Birthright Israel is a flop.

25. Neturei Karta: Go to Gaza!
If the Neturei Karta does not like the Jewish State of Israel, if they attack their fellow Jews and call upon the destruction of our beloved homeland, let them go to live with the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank! Why should they remain here, enjoy citizenship and benefits in our country? They are obviously not Jews by faith. They are quasi-Jews, dangerous extremists and hateful people. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY ISRAEL! G-d bless Israel and the Jewish people! (And the Gentiles who are our friends!)
Yaron ,   Israel   (05.07.08)
26. Neturei Karta, StOP BEING A PAIN and go FAST DO AS EZRA !
In the Book of Ezra (3:11-12), we read about the celebration when the foundation was laid for the Second Temple: "They sang praise and gave thanks to God, for He is good, for His mercy to Israel endures forever. All the people shouted a great shout in their praise of God because of the foundation of the house of God. But many of the Kohanim and Leviim and the elders who were heads of households, who had seen the First Temple - when they witnessed the foundation of this Temple, they wept with a great voice, while many others shouted and raised their voices in joy. And the people could not distinguish the voices shouting with joy from the voice of the crying among the nation, for the people shouted with a great shout and the sound was heard from far off. BUT STOP BEATING UP PEOPLE WHO CARRY THE ISRAELI FLAG. I AM ALSO ANGRY WITH YOU THIS TIME AND THE OTHER TIME WHEN YOU BOYS KISSED THAT AHMEDIJENAD. YOU BABES CHANGED ALOT !
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO ,   MOUNT BARON, GOLAN   (05.07.08)
27. I MUST CONFESS I'M CONFUSED.......
FLAG WAVING TYPES IN ANY PLACE AT ANY TIME IS THE ACT OF PSEUDO PATRIOTS THAT TAKE THE FLAG, AFFIX IT TO THEIR CARS, THEN IN 72 HRS. RUN THE SYMBOL OF THEIR COUNTRY RAGGED ! I do believe it is their prerogative to, do so however. Every body can make a fool of themselves however annoying their antics may be ! That having been said, the question arises is there any occasion to which efrat weiss will not seize to denigrate right wing Jews ? She is a vile cancer in journalism that as always resorts to distorted, inflammatory, hate instigative rhetoric with her vintage incitement as depicted in the idiotic characterization: "national violence" that entailed nothing more than an incident in what any rational, aware person would be compelled to concur is a small, fringe (pun acknowledged) community emblematic of a very small sector of Israel's general population! Terms such as "rightist extremist" and distorted number reports at demonstrations are standard fare for her so, the question arises as to which aspect of such an article is more abhorrent, the reckless behavior of renegade, fringe, Torah cults; weiss' corrupted, ignorant, opportunist seizing of the distortion to further her agenda or least of which- stupid behavior ?!

30. why should they respect israel's state?
When Israel's state destroy their homes in the Neguev, even homes of fallen soldiers ( beduin). The soldier who was killed before several weeks was beduin and the state planed to destroy his home...just because he is beduin, so don't feel angry when they (and me and the majority around the world) fight to destroy ur state.
