1. I just "love" what he said at one point...
Ddorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.09)
...in order to avoid extradtion -- said that Beitar Elit wasn't rightfully part of Israel because it was over the green line. Funny, he doesn't look like a typical Mertz voter to me!
2. Cut this scumbag his peyos!
John ,   Europe   (07.14.09)
Excommunicate him! Make that scum publicly know and make sure that everybody know that he is not Jew!
3. Haredi Bacteria
Talula ,   Israel   (07.14.09)
He feels powerful abusing little children - but he's terrified of dealing with someone more powerful than a child – he HAS to be the lowest form of bacteria on earth. All I wish for is that he suffers the worst kind of painful illness and then I hope he dies on the street in the gutter - followed by anyone who thinks what he did was ok. Child abuse in any form makes my blood boil.
4. CASTRATION NOW!

Who is financing him ? who is helping him ? Lawyers are very costly.
7. #3 yeah he is sick but YOU are an animal!
john   (07.14.09)
do you ever hear yourself?! wow
8. #2 - I don't think child abuse, unfortunately...
dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.09)
... is reason for excommunication in Jewish law. Is there are real rabbi in the house that can say something on this point?
9. bring the creep home the upstanding residents of the SHA'BAS
(07.14.09)
system (read: prison inmates) are just waiting to personally "handle" this scumbag and I am sure that the treatment he receives will be nothing compared to what he did to those little children because as we all know Prison inmates don't loathe child molesters and know very well how they should be handled!
10. Talula #3
motti ,   bet shemesh   (07.14.09)
your points might be valid but you lose credibility when you use every opportunity to express your hate for religious Jews. As if there are no secular child abusers? if the photo were of a secular child molester, would you use the caption "secular bacteria" ?
11. about the $ for the trip
Let the lawyers what ,   Is   (07.14.09)
Am so embarrased
12.  OH LA LA
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (07.14.09)
Is this man a rabbi or a Bull . I think I will have a night mare today.
13. how religion poisons everything
david ,   los angeles, usa   (07.14.09)
read christopher hitchen's book "god is not great" this story is just another part of the pattern of how sick religion really is!
14. Why writing wrong?
Rickie ,   Porto Alegre, Brazil   (07.14.09)
Why writing "Sao Paolo" instead of "São Paulo"?
15. Why the uproar...
Marco ,   Spain   (07.14.09)
Its just your typical everyday Rabbi...
16. #8 dorothy Friend
Rabbi Hafeez ,   Tel Aviv   (07.14.09)
My dear Dorothy, this Rabbi was doing what a Rabbi was supposed to do. Insill discipline in the coming generation. We certainly do not wont Jewish wimps running around in the future, especially with Hezbollah around. Jews should toughen up or ship out. Its as simple as that.
17. Dorothy , as far as known to me
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.14.09)
There is NO supreme authority in the Jewish religion that can excommuniate a "person" . People in his community [ if there is one ] can tell him to leave . The same problem had occured with those teheran visitors . I can certainly not call this guy a believing "person" . In his case the French saying "l'habit ne fait pas le moine" [ the robe don't makes the monk ] is 100 % accurate .
18. 1. no, the scum he looks like is the neturei karta variety
(07.14.09)
19. 7...I don't think 3 is an animal...
(07.14.09)
I hope the pig rots in hell worse than the hell he created on earth for the small child. We do not turn the other cheek and NOTHING is more important than our children. The children's mother is also a pig in my book.
20. 10...still defending 3
(07.14.09)
The man is bacteria in need of an anti biotic whether religious or secular...the religious are probably even more disgusted by him, as he is 1 of them. You are being too sensitive and not focused on the real issue.
21. 13 u sound like a moron
and i am secular...   (07.14.09)
does the secular poison everything? the vast majority of criminals only find religion after incarcerated.
22. 15...Marco you are a pig and a liar
and i am secular   (07.14.09)
23. 16...u and we know u are not a rabbi or from tel aviv...
(07.14.09)
24. Ynet I am offended by 15s antisemitic post!
(07.14.09)
perhaps you were nappig and let that through!
25. Ynet #16 is also offensive what is wrong w/u!
(07.14.09)
26. hafeez . Fake "rabbi"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.15.09)
the same as those amram & moshe , you are as much a "rabbi" as the Pope is . Now you live in Tel Aviv ? in another tb you wrote Ethiopia . LIAR
27. #7 Get a life!
(07.15.09)
28. #10
Talual ,   Israel   (07.15.09)
OK, firstly I don't care how much credibility I have with you, you need to understand that. Secondly, this particular case involves a Haredi man – not a secular, a Haredi. It’s equally vile if he was secular. Child abuse is not OK by ANYONE. However, it just seems that bit more shocking when the abuser is ‘religious’ Thirdly, why don’t' you stick to the facts here? Why do you bang on about my comments rather than the actual article? What's the matter, don’t' you have an opinion? And yes, I WOULD use the term secular bacteria - and I HAVE done in the past.
29. It's anti-Semitism, right?
American ,   USA   (07.25.09)
Is Brazil practicing antisemitism on this guy? I mean extraditing him for his crimes MUST be anti-Semitic in SOME way, right? Oh wait... they are sending him BACK to Israel...
