1. The things sexual frustration can do to dried up old women..
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (04.30.09)
I hope one of the policemen in the station would do us all a favor (especially these women) and give them what they need to calm down their systems. Maybe that would finally get these ugly feminist nutjobs out of our veins.
2. Draft dodgers??!! They didn't look Haredi in the picture.
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (04.30.09)
I think it is time for secular "Zionists" to re-evaluate reality. Left wing seculars are drafct dodgers, anarchistic law-breakers who viciously attack soldiers and police on a regular basis, rewrite the laws to suit poltical agendas, and do not settle the land like the long-ago secular kibbutzniks. It bothers me that they do all of this with impunity, but what really irks me is that the settlers and charedim take the blame for the evil and lazy elitist, oppressive, left. Six weeks after the war in Gaza a strong majority of the country voted right wing. The reaction was "Oh my god, another slaughter of the Gazan arabs!" Hey! Gaza was Barak, Livni, and Olmert. And Bibi gave us another left wing government anyway.
3. Israel's falling into bits

4. Send them to Gaza with a one way ticket
Yaron ,   USA   (04.30.09)
5. Democracy?
Pal Pal ,   The M E   (04.30.09)
Israel is a democracy in name only, and certainly does not follow the principles of democracy. It is a theocratic autocracy and just a dream of what jews wish it could be. Freedomof speach is just not part of evry day life in Israel!
6. The cops must give them a harsh beating
Frank ,   Canada   (04.30.09)
7. to #1, Policemen are also humane
Gaby ,   Boston, US   (04.30.09)
Did you think of them when you wrote this message?
8. Adam - most draft dogers percent wise are secular ashkenazim
JM ,   Bet Shemesh - Israel   (04.30.09)
Regardless - jail all draft dodgers and their supporters.
9. i feel so ashamed
avraham ,   telaviv   (04.30.09)
to be called "israeli" together with those bunch of idiots! until all these traitors are out of this country, that gives me and my family shelter, security and wealth, i will not call myself an israeli! period.
10. That had me laughing, #1
Cameron ,   USA   (04.30.09)
11. why is this feminism disease so prevalent in israel?
nate ,   canada   (04.30.09)
they need to be set straight.
12. Work the math
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.30.09)
50 protesters making up 23 "rights" groups equals just over 2 members per group. It appears that it is not the actual number of violators that count, its the number of groups.
13. Coalition of idiots for war
JPS ,   Efrat   (04.30.09)
What does the "Coalition of Women for Peace" have to do with peace? The answer, sadly, is almost nothing. A bunch of poorly educated, misinformed people get together and decide that draft-dodging is connected to peace. It isn't. Too bad these people don't go for a trip to make "peace" with the other side. I doubt any of them read Arabic newspapers, or have been to Gaza in the past 3 years, nor have they talked "peace" with any Palestinian officials from the elected PA government, aka Hamas. Oh yes, in case these morons haven't read a Hebrew newspaper or news website (even Ynet) in the past few months, Hamas keeps saying they will "never" make peace with Israel, and that jihad (aka holy war) is the only way to go. And that, sadly, leaves the rest of us Israelis having to fight the jihadist enemy and at the same time put up with the shenanigans of these dupes.
14. "the large-scale feminist uprising"
Arie ,   BaGolan   (04.30.09)
7.5 million Israeli, around 50% female, and 50....yes count them 50......anarchists marching is "large-scale?"
15. Really , Israel is Drafting 80 Yr Old Women Now
Gad ben Shalom ,   Jerusalem   (04.30.09)
What are these old shriveled-up bags from england good for anyway. are they going to gum the arabs to death?
16. #11 Summers on sexism
(04.30.09)
According to Summers, the preponderance of males in high-end science and engineering positions could be explained by the following: first, that more men than women were willing to make the commitment in terms of time and flexibility demanded by high-powered jobs; second, and controversially, that there were differences in the intrinsic abilities of men and women at the extremes (3.5 to 4 standard deviations above the mean), as shown by higher variance in aptitude, abilities, or preferences relevant to science and engineering among men; and third, that the discrepancy was due to discrimination or socialization. Summers is the avid pro-Israel Jewish Obama's adviser.
17. to Pal Pal
Barney ,   USA   (04.30.09)
Hey Pal, get a chance to enjoy freedom of speech in any one of your 22 Arab nations? Here in the States that is what we call the kettle calling the pot black. In comparison, the great nation of Israel is tops amongst the democratic nations of the world
18. #16 , Obama does not have advisors; he has advisees
Jake   (04.30.09)
The messiah does not need advisors. Of what profit is an advisor to a prophet, who receives his instructions directly from God? Obama's team are his own creatures, whose only job it is to flesh out Obama's visions, which of course were given to Obama by God Himself. Due to Obama's infallibility, Obama's master plan for the salvation of mankind cannot fail - if implemented in the correct way. If something goes wrong, it is only because Obama's team failed to understand him correctly, misinterpreted his words, or erred in the execution of his most perfect instructions, which have been given the seal of approval from the Most High.
19. This "feminist" codswolop is an insult to females everywhere
Jake   (05.01.09)
It may indeed be true that, under normal circumstances, females are smarter, wiser, and more sensible than men. However, when you take into account these ranting and raving, incoherent, foaming-at-the-mouth hags into the female population, the men might just have the edge.
20. kol Hakavod to the feminists
hannah ,   north   (05.01.09)
we should be a civil society and not a militarized ghetto
21. to jake/janet #19
melissa ,   uk   (05.01.09)
obviously being such a woman you can understand how much it is an 'insult'.
22. At long last something is being done to bring these
Yoav Ais-Emet ,   Haifa Israel   (05.01.09)
Anarchists into line,now that their patron saint Olmert is out,and his wife and family have no say anymore,hopefully the police can take of the silk gloves.
23. I witnessed it
Ilana ,   Tel Aviv   (05.01.09)
The police were vicious and out of control, lashing out, grabbing people by the hair and neck, and pushing them over against parked vehicles, overturning motorcycles parked on the sidewalk. Shameful.
24. If you dodge the draft!
Robert Goldman ,   KFAR SABA, ISRAEL   (05.01.09)
you should be put in aq chain gang like in the "OL South" forced to waer some ugly uniform and clean up the dog mess in all public parks etc, without the service of all our citizens this country fails, Everyone must serve!
25. Release activists
pilar salamanca ,   valladolid. spain   (05.06.09)
As a palestinian myself, activist against occupattion, woman and worker I demand freedom for the israeli arrested at Tel-Aviv police station . Ni un paso atrĂ¡s!
26. to Jake
Dove ,   Los Angeles   (05.22.09)
You are clearly mixing up Obama with Bush. Obama's never claimed to receive instructions directly from God.
