1. not that morals couldnt be significantly improved...but
Galut ,   Selah   (04.02.09)
'Chastity squad' methods are not the way to do it....they make it harder for those that have more constructive approaches....
2. its absolutely ridicolus........
jkovacs ,   europe   (04.02.09)
i cant belive something like that happens....non kosher mp 4.......what the fXXX are you talking about??
3. Sending these talibans to Gaza will be more appropriate
Frank ,   Canada   (04.02.09)
4. chastity squad?
will ,   dallas tx usa   (04.02.09)
Do these neo nazis in Hebrew clothing know what being chaste is? What happened to tolerance of others? If they really believe in what they do why do they lie and give false names? They just want to terrorize and scare people because they aren't like them.... Even Judaism suffers from such evil from within. Please don't let these people get away with what they are doing. Rout their evil out as you would any other group that behaves the same.
5. NOT Playing With A Full (Mental)Deck.....
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel,new olah   (04.02.09)
Let me put it this way - I have no way of knowing if this report is true. However, IF it is then the goon squad has to be dismantled VERY quickly. Most religious people keep their noses out of other peoples business, as long as they are not harming anyone else. But to insert oneself violently into another's lifestyle choices is criminal.
6. non kosher mp4 player??

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL LOOLLLLLLOOOLOLOLLOOLOOLL HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HOW LOW DID WE FALL??!?!!
7. It's too bad baseball never took root in Israel.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (04.02.09)
If it had, store owners might keep a baseball bat behind the counter to deal with these scum. These guys live by intimidating their targets. Maybe if someone taught them a lesson they'd be less inclined to threaten a store owner and his customers.
8. animals, he deserves 20 yrs behind bars!!
Yosi ,   Israel   (04.02.09)
9. Urgent requirements.
Sagi ,   Israel   (04.02.09)
Additional psychiatric wards in all Jerusalem hospitals. Investment in a factory for the production of strait jackets. A counter vigilante organization. Minister # 31 to be in charge of sectorial misfits.
10. chastity police
charicleia ,   USA   (04.03.09)
It's about time. And the same for all these undersocialized, undereducated, and violent thugs, masquerading under the umbrella of religion. what would Hashem say???
11. What took them so long...
jv ,   LA, USA   (04.03.09)
...to arrest this goon? And why only one? These are not minor charges. Dragging someone out and beating them? Throwing rocks? I get the idea that the goons don't have enough to do in their own lives and are sexually repressed to the point they have transferred to poor little mp players.
12. #7 The fearsome sound of...
jv ,   LA, USA   (04.03.09)
...a pump action shotgun being racked would also work.
13. Cut off the Schnorrers
Mad Zionist   (04.03.09)
Send a Chastity Squad after the Hareidi schnorrers, who violate halacha every day by taking the money earned in taxes from the sale of those treif MP4 players. The fact is, these despicable sponges are shamelessly stealing from hard working Jews so don't have to work, defend the country, or contribute anything to society whatsoever accept being cradle to grave welfare whores. Tell them the jug is up: they can earn their own living, join the military or get the f**k out.
14. Adina#5: "I have no way of knowing if this report is true. "
David ,   Los Angeles   (04.03.09)
"I have no way of knowing if this report is true. " Yeah Adina, it's just all made up. The filing, the indictment, the interrogation, the guy's name, the existence of the so-called "Chastity Squads," the other convictions. All of it. It's all part of Yediot Achronot's conspiracy against everything on the Extreme Right. Including you.
15. chasity squad
SALLY ,   TEL AVIV   (04.03.09)
send him to Iran
16. #13 I knew 1 of the talkbacks would
Yonason Herschlag   (04.03.09)
use this as an opportunity to spew their hatred against the community of Jews who honor the traditions of their forefathers. Sadly #13 never tasted the Joy of serving G-d and the Jewish people. He's too wrapped up in spewing his hatred.
17. Secularism vs Religiousness
Goliath   (04.03.09)
As far as I know, like Western societies, the vast majority of Israeli people are secular, and only the minority of them are religious. In religious perspective, everything people use must be kosher. Unfortunately, this is contradictory to secular perspective. A case like this will happen again next time if the two extremes become farther away from each other.
18. So why not arrest his Rabbi?
Aaron ,   Baltimore, USA   (04.03.09)
If he was part of an organized group, why weren't the leaders of the group arrested? That is how the police work, especially in Israel (just ask anyone who opposes the established overnment). Perhaps it was because there is no such organization, and the guy is a nut case with a personal grievance, and the Hareidi "mafia" is a fiction of the secular mass media.
19. #16 Traditions of their forefathers???
jv ,   LA, USA   (04.03.09)
Since when did our forefathers refuse to work and live off welfare provided by others?
20. Better act before someone sues the state over
Pioneer   (04.03.09)
not enforcing their own laws. If this person were an Arab (hate to say this!) he would have been jailed the first time. But for some reason, people like him are tolerated--WHY? I am very frail physically, and I fear that someone like this would attack me going into a store. He could hit me once and end my ability to ever walk again. What would anybody do for me? Yet HE is allowed to be free. This situation needs to serve as an example and the perp needs to go to prison for several years.
21. there is a right way and a wrong way
Galut ,   Selah   (04.03.09)
Our faiths play a needfull and good role in establishing Gods guidelines in our society...G-d only knows the extent of how sefishness in society and individuals plays a self destuctive role .... The Jewish and Christian faiths have a lot to contribute to the heathy and constructive guidepost we all can incorporate into our lives.... love and compassion is the first victim in hard line enforcement of Gods rules ...And G-d Did not this to be so....
22. To # 14, David, Outraged From LA, The VERY Left Coast
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel,new olah   (04.03.09)
David # 14- Buck up, don't get your skivvies in a knot. I clearly stated that criminal actions such as these must be dealt with. Surely you know that Ynet's penchant for misreporting is not out of the realm of possibility. Me thinks that the la la land out in LA is giving you left wing heatstroke. Lest you think I don't appreciate what CA has to offer, think again. I sent my son out there for 4 years to get educated at Caltech. But that doesn't mean that most of the left coast is playing with a full deck either.
23. This proves that
dave ,   uk   (04.03.09)
not ever working and sitting around doing nothing causes craziness and delusion
24. Jewish chastity squad.....
Mark Wilson ,   USA   (04.03.09)
Hahahahaha, those idiots are no different from Saudi religious police.
25. true or false #5
will ,   dallas tx usa   (04.03.09)
Adina I agree with you completely. This kind of thuggery was exactly what the predecessors to the SS did to intimidate the citizenry which led ultimately to a very horrible conclusion. It is said that in time the heroes become the criminals and the master becomes the slave. If this is substantiated it must be completely and utterly stopped in its tracks. Free will is one of the basic gifts from Ha-Shem and oppression of that is from the evil one. This seed must not be allowed to grow in the garden of Israel.
26. MP4 NOT KOSHER????
Bandar (Hezbollah) ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (04.03.09)

27. Jewish Taliban, hahahahahahahaha
Bandar (Hezbollah) ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (04.03.09)

28. MP4 NOT KOSHER???
Bandar (Hezbollah) ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (04.03.09)
hahahaha, who let those monkeys out of the zoo. Hahahahahahaha. Give them a banana and send them back to the zoo. Hahahahahaha
29. #19 - The Big Lie
Yonason Herschlag   (04.03.09)
Just because the media repeats the claim that the religious don't work doesn't make it true. In Israel unlike the US, many orthodox choose to study Torah full time for a small stipend as here in Israel a normal job doesn't pay much more than the kollel stipend. Yet most "ultra" orthodox do work. The reason statistics don't show this is because they often work off the books to continue their army deferment. The truth is that in perhaps more than half the orthodox households both parents work, in addition to managing their homes of large families. In general they contribute to the economy more than the secular as they provide for larger families.
30. #19 Dispelling the myth
Yonason Herschlag   (04.03.09)
I challenge you to come to our city of Betar Elite (nearly 40,000 residents), and see for yourself that the vast majority of the people working here are the residents themselves. The bank and postal clerks are the ultra orthodox residents, and so are most of the dentists, doctors, and nurses. And so are virtually all of the store owners, managers, and workers. All the local electricians, plumbers, and home appliance technicians are ultra orthodox residents of our city. All the cab drivers, and most of the bus drivers are from the ultra orthodox residents. All the school teachers and administraters are ultras, and we have many many teachers as the large families mean that 70% of the population are students. The money changers, social workers, Mayor and municipal workers are all orthodox. Many work as religious scribes, or in ritual slaughter. And even though 10% of the men study full time, that does not justify villifying the orthodox community as spounges!!!
