1. I was once married to an Israeli women
Avrumie   (12.11.08)
Simply said it was a nightmare. She was what I would call high maintenance low return. I send her back to israel along with the kids where she assumed the raising of the children. I also gave her a truck load of money to take care of them. In short time these kids returned to me seeing the disaster that was living in Israel. Today they are doing very well in their new lives. Men, dont give up hope. These women who use their children as fodder end up being the losers. The kids learn by example. Live clean proper lives and your children over a period of time will respect and eventually even love you.
2. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
Whoaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa!!!! Oh dear, someone got short changed in the manhood department! 'My mother was a woman?" This HAS to be a joke! He HAS to be some sort of comedian. Sorry mate, we've got enough comedians running the country, we don't need another one. Furthermore, if a father is a good loving father who could not get along with his children's mother, there is no court in the land that would prevent him from seeing his children. Fact is, there ARE hundres and hundreds of women in high powered jobs, it's called equality. Now you can go and sob your heart out, or self combust for all I care - but don't try and bring our country to the same level as, well Iran, for instance. GET OVER YOURSELF!
3. Why not? It's worth a try. The other parties keep failing us
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.11.08)
I'm going to get it for this ;P
4. The man needs to take an anthropology course.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.11.08)
5. "Women don't know how to accept equality"
Punta Di Lancia ,   Basel, Switzerland   (12.11.08)
"Women don't know how to accept equality" It's the most dumb sentence I have read. Schlusser does not only have problems with feminists.He has problems with women. This is not a political expression, but a racist one.
6. #2 - LOL!!! You bet he was shortchanged! In fact.....
andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.11.08)
there is a multinational corporation named after him: MICRO-SOFT. I bet its like one of those tiny golf pencils they give you on multichoice tests. Any man who flat out says men and woman are not equal is a complete retard. Moreover, he should get ready for his daughter to hate him when she grows up.
7. The Feminist lawyers are rich and the kifds are suffering
David ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
The fathers,like me,are subjected to the misuse of laws that were meant to protect women who were brutalized or even killed fifty years ago. Now the so called feminists , who are really anti man or greedy,or both, are justifying blocking the crucial loving contact of the fathers with their children.Some mothers are even having the children institutionalized to keep the fathers from having contact.They are lining their pockets because manliness is a sin. Masculine discipline is a crime.Even though it is agreed that healthy hetero,productive adults needed the father around.Ritalin is everywhere and dispensed at the drop of a hat by money grubbing feminized therapists,lawyers and "educators".Boys or men must suppress any normal aggression or they will be jailed,thrown out of school or drugged.The family unit is falling apart, all because of greedy "feminist" lawyers .Shame on them , for destroying decent men.
8. Be glad you're not a praying mantis.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.11.08)
9. Just look at the picture of this goober....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.11.08)
it explains it all.
10. everyone should know their place.
benny ,   new york usa   (12.11.08)
i believe in equality as in saying that you have to treat all people fairly, but that doesn,t mean treating everyone the same, no hiding the fact that woman have different attributes then man,and if they would just work on their unique strengthes instead of trying to be equal to men then they would shine out in a unique loving way. i would rather solve the problem of women being abused my setting up a special commitee and give them protection this extreme woman rights thing is won't help them anyway. woman are supposed to love men, and to rely on them, thats just human nature.
11. #1 Errrr excuse me?
Talula ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
You certainly don't sound like catch of the day either. You sent her back with a truck load of money? with your children? Did you DHL them or did you pack them off by sea? How easily you gave up on your children. I guess the truck load of lulu eased your conscience did it? You sound like a very bitter and miserable excuse for a man if you ask me - you've probably also been short changed in the manhood department. Don't kid yourself, the money ran out and so did the kids. They simply returned to the cash point. If your kids were not happy, it's because you married a witch and NOT because they were brought here to Israel.
12. #9 AGREED!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (12.11.08)
He's got a smirk on his face that makes me want to slap it with a wet fish. Or maybe he's just heard that extensions are available, and I'm not talking hair extentions either. He seems to have lost out on the looks department as well. Poor bugger. Dying to see the smirk when he humiliates himself after the elections.
13. While Schlusser has some valid points, he's a total whacko!
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (12.11.08)
14. contradiction in terms
bob ,   potomac usa   (12.11.08)
what this guy doesn't seem to realize is that traditional law--secular and religious--WAS a men's rights party--and women were only "given" certain things by the masters in charge. His whining today just makes him sound like a douchebag
15. Not a chavanist? HaHaHaHa
lea ,   soca usa   (12.11.08)
Get over it fellow..The PM is not a woman unless in drag LoL & see what he's doing to the country! Nothing good! If a man is a loving dad there would be no reason for gets & the children would grow up in a nuturing home by both parents.. Each case should be decided on an individual basis not blaming ALL women due to your idiot remarks.An abusive father shouldn't have the right for child custody period..
16. re: (human) nature
h3x3   (12.11.08)
apparently man is able to cut its ties with what is/used to be "normal" these days WE define ourselves whats normal and whats not.
17. #11 Talula you're completely wrong.
Brian ,   NYC USA   (12.11.08)
His kids probably came back because living in Israel sucked for them. Being a kid in America and then having to give up everything nice in life--friends, good schools, nice house, non-death-trap car, blessedly limited exposure to soccer, for instance--to come live in a country full of rude, pushy Israelis struggling to get by in a "developing" economy, probably sucks. I went to high school in New York with tons of Israeli kids who would gladly tell you how much they love Israel and support it and how "patriotic" they and their yordim parents are, but would also gladly tell you that they wouldn't move there in a million years. Not surprising since most of them went on to schools like Yale and Columbia. Imagine giving that up for Haifa Tech or Holon Academic College or some garbage like that, and the 10,000 NIS a month after graduation (if you're lucky) that comes with it!
18. #5 - Women are not a "race."
(12.11.08)
19. time to bring back NO MA'AM

20. What a SCHMUCK! 51% OF VOTERS ARE WOMEN!

21. I Didn't Know Rush Limbaugh Moved to Israel
emanon ,   USA   (12.11.08)
22. Homophobic Chauvanist Nonsense
Avinoam ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.11.08)
There was a poll recently saying that only 56% of Israelis support equal rights for women. Jewish women are trapped when it comes to divorce. In general they earn less for the same work, and still run the risk of being fired if they get pregnant. We have serious problems with domestic violence. Sexual harassment and rape. Human trafficking! Obviously for forced prostitution. All this happens in Israel. Also, with regards to: "The child that sees a woman in control, in contradiction to nature, may turn homosexual" I would like to see the scientific/social study that supports this hypothesis. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with being homosexual. Who really cares what people do in the privacy of their own home? This is discrimination plain and simple. Even if there is some basis to his claims, each case must be assessed individually. You cannot have a portion of the population marginalised simply because of how they were born. All citizens must be seen as equals under the law. And what has nature got to do with politics anyhow? If we carried this argument to its logical conclusion we should forego elections, and simply have an IQ test. Naturally only allow people of superior lineage should be allowed into any position of power. In fact one may even consider some people of inferior stock to be a burden on society. I wonder what the solution is to that. What planet does this guy live on?
23. No. 7 100% Right-Feminists Destroying Families
Yonaton ,   New York, NY   (12.12.08)
Dave #7 is absolutely right, anti-male feminists are destroying familes and preventing fathers from seeing their children. And Yaakov Schlusser, the chairman of the Men's Rights party, touched on a critical point. Feminists may be officially demanding "equality", but their real goal is subjugation and domination of men. It all stems from the replacement of authentic Torah Jewish values with the alien false ideologies of liberalism and feminism. In the US some of the worst feminists and family destroyers call themselves "Orthodox", while their stooge "rabbis" jump through hoops to appease the feminists. "FEMINISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER."
24. HE SPEAKS LIKE A REPRESSED HOMO !
henry green ,   haifa   (12.12.08)
25. Caveman
Marni ,   USA   (12.11.08)
"I'm not against women but nature has rules: The man should be on top, there should not be equality." Am I supposed to swoon? Wow, I thought we were millenium past the caveman mentality. I hope his thoughts are not indicative of a typical Israeli male. Then again...
26. So..
Marni ,   USA   (12.12.08)
"Children have a right to see their fathers. Otherwise they will lose their sexual identity. The child that sees a woman in control, in contradiction to nature, may turn homosexual." So not only is spewing shtuyot, but he is retarded. Last time I checked, it was usually the men who were denying women the right to divorce and using the children as a bargaining tool to get what they wanted. Darn bra-burning feminists... And his thinking in regards to homosexuality is so beyond backwards I can't even believe I am wasting my brain cells responding to this talkback. I think Mr. Schlusser has some personal and familial problems that he feels like taking out on the voting public. His issues with women and his own masculinity, or lack thereof, shouldn't play a role in Israeli politics.
27. Responses #1-19
Avinoam ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.11.08)
#1 It's got nothing to do with being a woman. Unfortunately obnoxious and entitled describes a large number of Israelis, of both sexes. That's why we make such horrible tourists. And as #11 points out, albeit rudely, you may have had a part to play in this. You cannot generalise, and we cannot judge. So we're left with no conclusion. #2 Finally we can agree on something. :) #3 Haha. You know, if we enslave the women of this country we may find some of our neighbours warming up to us. It may even bring peace. Good thing I'm a man. #4 Lobotomy I say. Whatever excuse he has for a brain is clearly malfunctioning. #5 Technically it's chauvinism, and it still is a political expression, although you meant to say personal. Some might even say biological. ;) #6 It's not obvious. Sarah Palin. #7 You make valid points, but the problem lies with the feminist lawyers. What this politician claims however is that men should have more power than women. Does this really represent your point of view? #8, 9, 11, 12, 18, 19 - #10 That's not what he's saying. #13 Read #7. #14 If it quacks like a douchebag.... #15 Agreed, except for one point. It's a bit naive to say "If a man is a loving dad there would be no reason for gets & the children would grow up in a nuturing home by both parents.." #16, 17 Yep.
28. israeli women in general
m ,   jerusalem   (12.11.08)
lets put it this way most israeli women like to yell and scream and dress badly or at least think that they are dressing nicely when in fact its a fashion failure, just travel to any part of Europe and you'll see that i'm right. Israeli women are a nightmare, they will fight you worse than a man because when guys fight it out , then the fights over and more than likely the next time the two guys meet they will either ignore each other or actually become friends. so yes israeli women are only good for sex when they are under 35 and they are only good for divorce after 40 , its better to live alone then to live with an israeli women .
29. I agree 100%
Anonymous X   (12.12.08)
During my aliyah time in Israel I was hoping to meet a good woman after a painful divorce. What I found were a lot of mad feminists, unbalanced women, and haughty stupid women with unrealistic expectations. What a shame. This man is right about feminism destroying a country, it has already done so in the West.
30. It's better to dwell in the corner of the rooftop...
Hester   (12.12.08)
... than with a contentious woman - it was Shlomo who said this and he should know having a thousand wives. Is this why apartments with a rooftop are so pricey in Israel I wonder? It's nice up there, a shadey thatched roof hut, lovely view, nice and warm but with a fresh cooling breeze - and no one bothers you...
