1. Yes we hope the Neturei Karta will live in Palestine
Avi ,   Israel   (12.16.09)
Yet in the mean time they feel comfortable living off our tax money and dodging the draft and benefiting from the security provided by the IDF.
2. y Israel still gives them tax money
ghostq   (12.16.09)
or any money, if they don't like the state let them move away and cut all their connection to the zionist entity including social benefits health care and what ever, orthodox jews makes me sick.
3. Non-Jews
Lewis ,   Jerusalem   (12.16.09)
Why don't we recognize them as a seperate religion?? They are obviously non-Jews.
4. feeding the crocodile, yet again

5. Deport them to Tehran.
Wise Saba ,   Netivot   (12.16.09)
6. to #1 they contradict the bible which they pray from
ghostq   (12.16.09)
cause zion is mention in the old testament as well, they r pagans to the max, and from what I heard paganism is not what god likes, if ever they r the one who will get punished by the father. theives(your tax money) and paganism they r doomed to be punished.
7. God has already punished us ! She gave us Neturei Karta !
Yisrael ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (12.16.09)
8. Who are these creatures?
Jean-Pierre ,   Holon, Israel   (12.16.09)
I look at them. They do not look like me. I am jewish. Therefore they cannot be. They open their mouths and I hear their insanities. I close my eyes and I hear the iranian monkey. They have everything in common with the mullahs. They should be given back to the future "palestinian state" when and if it is created.
9. Ahmadino's pals....!
Jojo ,   Prt Wash NY   (12.16.09)
God has already punished us by giving us a naturei karta --- a reject from society, a grotesque clan, an unfortunate group of parasite living of the toil of others. Their contribution to judaism is ZILCH but ,managed in becoming the laughing stock in the muslim world by being the favorite model in all their cartoons, to the delight of anti semites.
10. Be Fair
Madai ,   USA   (12.16.09)
Everyone, as the human nature is, claim to speak the truth. Where is that truth hidden? You, the chosen nation above all other, go back to your conscious! Who is not Jew? The Neturei Karta or the Zionists? What's between Judaism & Zionism? Dig deeper! Open your eyes, use your minds! Who are we supposed to follow upon entering the Holy Land? The Moshiach or Ben-Gurion & Hertzel? How are we supposed to enter it: By force, bearing arm & killing people or we enter it peacefully & welcomed by other nations? The Talmud in Tractate Kesubos (p. 111a), teaches that Jews shall not use human force to bring about the establishment of a Jewish state before the coming of the universally accepted Moshiach ... Isn't the Talmud our Holy Book..Review it & go back to sanity !
11. To Avi , do you think that they have enough trash ? ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.16.09)
so they don't need some more . The NK say that they don't accept any money from a State they don't recognise .
12. where's the palestinian version of neturei karta?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (12.16.09)
or at least, where's a pro-peace and/or pro-israel palestinian movement? why the lack of diverse thought among palestinians?
13. to #10 lol zion is the other name for jerusalem
ghostq   (12.16.09)
and I think it mention in the bible turn your back on zionism you turn your back on god holly place. that's what the pagans orthodox don't get and THeodor was religious jew. so in a nut shell and FYI chritians also believe in the Massiah and his name is jesus.
14. they need to be punished for treason
gal1 ,   israel/holon   (12.16.09)
G-d bless Gilad
15. YNet's twisting news and facts vis a vis Hareidim
Sarah Leah Lawent ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.16.09)
BS"D While it is true that as ultra Orthodox, we do not recognize the State over the Creator, YNet is always amongst the first to present anything that can put the orthodox community in a bad, anti-social light. Niturei Karta have many things on their agenda that do not necessarily reflect the bulk of chareidim, but you will never see that on your source info. Just the headlines and lead in to the article on this article sets a tone and a shading that has nothing to do with the actual news. It is unethical. It is misleading. It only is to support a private, leftist agenda, which shouldn't be the purpose of any news organization.
16. don't call them hareidi; nor orthodox
Shalom Hartman   (12.16.09)
they are a pack of loonies! And dangerous too!
17. They are like "Jews for Jesus." A thorn, a pain, nothing of
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.16.09)
substance.
18. Surely a special place in hell for these anti-semites
How rediculous ,   Israel   (12.16.09)
They are not Jews and should be deported!
19. to #17 bun bun go eat a sufgania without jam
ghostq   (12.16.09)
the last time I checked chritians and messiahnic jews pay taxes and contribute to the state of Israel financially cause they got jobs, unlike orthodox jews who just exploit any money resource in America and other countries.
20. Sarah 15
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.16.09)
The Heading only talks about this abject kind of people , not about charidim as a whole .
21. Error in my # 11
(12.16.09)
The heading should be : Don't you think that they have enough trash ?
22. Madal , 10
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.16.09)
There are FINE religious people who certainly know the Talmud as you do , or maybe even better , and who are supporting the Israeli State . So members of this sect should leave this country if they don't like it . We don't need this trash PS : try to write names correctly : It's HERZL , not as you wrote
23. 13 , ghotq
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.16.09)
Where you talking about Theodor Herzl ? in this case you are 100 % wrong . Herzl was NOT religious at all .
24. Neturei Karta justify killing of Jews
John ,   EU national   (12.16.09)
This group are a group that justifies killing Jews. There are videos about them on youtube discussing how they justified the Hebron massacre in 1929, where many Jews were killed by Arabs. Karta members blamed zionists on this, even though the Arabs massacred the Jews on FALSE chinese wispers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89zDJ9AaZ0g (warning: quality is a bit crummy) see for yourself how much they lie - even to themselves. They can blame zionists for everything, but really they are the ones who don't pray for the release of Jews (shalit), don't pray for the land of Israel, don't pray for Jewish revival. They just live in Jerusalem and pretend to be high and holy. They aren't even mizrahim, so EVEN ON THEIR OWN ACCUSATIONS AGAINST US, they are taking up land no less than any Israeli. They make me sick!
25. #15 Sarah - Creator over state isn't exclusive to Ultras
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (12.16.09)
I think I understand your effort to distance your brand of Ultra-Orthodox from NK. However, your attempt is undermined by either a misstatement, misconception or both. By definition, all Orthodox recognize ha-Sheim as Supreme. Putting the Creator over the state is not exclusive to, or defining of, Ultra-Orthodox as a distinct segment of the wider (not-Ultra) Orthodox community. All Orthodox place the Creator above the state. You also proceeded to constructively claim that the Ultra-Orthodox are all of the Orthodox community when you claimed that ynet's criticism of an Ultra-Orthodox, khareidi, sect is a smear on all of the Orthodox community. That is untrue. All animals aren't horses. All criticism of "Orthodox" is criticism of Ultra-Orthodox and khareidim along with the entire Orthodox community, but not all criticism of Ultra-Orthodox or khareidim is criticism of Orthodox. Perhaps if you would incorporate this in your message your point would be more clear.

26. God will punish Naturei Karta
Ilana   (12.16.09)
27. These Idiots
Aryeh ,   NY, USA   (12.16.09)
Are only after the publicity. Why give it to them.
28. my only personal experience with Neturei Karta...
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.16.09)
...was in New York city, at the rally against the Iranian president speaking at the UN, we were protesting Iran, they were protesting Israel. I will say to lump all ultra orthadox into one group is wrong. Although Neturei Karta, and those rioting in Jerusalem do irk me, Chabad are good accepting people who I do appreciate greatly. Many Ultra Orthadox complain about prejudice toward them, it goes both ways, while living in NJ I went to meet with Chabad to see what their view on things was and to just meet with a different Jewish community, they were the most welcoming people I have ever met. When I lived in Greenpoint Brooklyn, I walked over to my neighboring community in Williamsburg, which is Ultra Orthodox, to just do some shopping and maybe make some friends but was met by anger, and evil looks. On an El Al flight I was in a seat near an Orthodox woman, who at first told me I was not Jewish, after hours and hours of conversation about our lives and my Aliyah, she changed her mind and decided I was very, very Jewish, and more knowledgeable about our religion and history than her. Turned out all she really knew about was wigs and clothes, she told me that it was not her fault, Jewish education was mostly for the men. I'll continue to judge on a person to person basis, I am Secular Zionist from the reformed community in the US, I do my best to stay open minded here, the prejudices go all around, having made the effort to be open minded in my new nation, I have met amazing people and made friends who are Russian, Ethiopian, Indian, Bedouin, Moroccan, Yemeni, all these communities somewhat have unfavorable views against each other and against Ashkenazim, and vise- versa, I have found them all to be great people, with great culture, in the end I find the open minded ones are the winners. An open mind allows you a larger world while a closed one makes your world quite small.
29. Double Standard for Neturei Karta again
Zvika ,   Jerusalem   (12.16.09)
Are they worse than some secular Jews who say the same thing? Why is the cursing and reviling reserved for the Neturei Karta only? The same sentiments are expressed by many academics and journalists, and appear in numerous newspaper articles.
30. I long for the day
Sagi   (12.16.09)
when a responsible Minister of Home Affairs will seek a court order against entry into Israel for these very dangerous people and a responsible Attorney General will seek to deport those already here. Anyone, NK or any other cult member, yes cult, not used lightly, who speaks or acts against the State should be prosecuted with the full force of the law. The time has come to act against these folks whom I liken unto a "foreign body" that has grown and has to be surgically removed as it represents a danger to the "healthy body".
