1. Close the school now
Avi ,   Israel   (04.08.10)
What are they teaching " rasicism" ? This so called school should be closed immediatly and these brain washed children should get a real education.
2. Jewish values?
Talula ,   Israel   (04.08.10)
Who would have thought when Jews were escaping from Nazi Germany to a homeland, free of persecution and hate – that they would have to face more hate and detestation…………between their own kind. Their actions are all bred from ignorance - as is all hatred and discrimination against another race or community. These people make me want to vomit.
3. Money and fines is now speaking to their righteousness.
Josh   (04.08.10)
Slugs! Stop the racism and provocation so called "people of the Book". Kol hakavod on the courts ruling.
4. The real issue is the court system
Yoni ,   Tel Aviv   (04.08.10)
The truth of the matter is that no foreign court should be getting involved to force the religious private school to do what it wants. They should be working within the framework of the religious school getting the religious leaders to implement the ruling everyone hates the courts

7. #6 we don't seperate our identity
(04.08.10)
we are a religon and state and wil always be - so you have to get use or live in anather place
8. #7 Sorry beg to differ
Avi ,   Israel   (04.08.10)
Hate to break it to you but Israel is a democratic state and not a religious state. We are free to choose or religious identity as we are free to not to believe. You can not and will not impose religious law on non believer’s or dictate to others what to belive. We will eat what we want, drive our cars when we want , marry or sleep with who we want, and no religious law is going to stop that . You could always move to Tehran where you will be amongst others with a similar mentality.
9. #1 Closing the school isn't the answer
Miki ,   Haifa   (04.08.10)
That is the idiots way out. The intelligent way is to deal witht he root of the problem and that is ignorance. It needs to be taught that that being a racist against Sephardim is unacceptable and to make them understand we are all equal in the eys of G-d.
10. #8 And admit whom we want...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.10)
...to our private schools? That might fly in Iran. A democracy has the mandate to allow the majority to impose on the minority. It is civil rights and equal rights, whether in a theocracy, a monarchy or a democracy that keeps this kind of thing from happening. You, however, seem to approve of the former - democracy without civil equality.
11. These poor kids!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (04.08.10)
The Ashkenaz kids are being taught to hate and the Sephardi kids are being taught that they are second-class!! Disguisting!!! There should be demonstrations in front of the school with both Ashkenaz parents and Sephardi parents together!
12. Haredi Way of Life
Avi   (04.08.10)
Discrimination is part of the Haredi social system, a study of which is way over due. This situation is not only confined to schools either. Once again it took a secular high court to show up the most disgusting middot that are in some cases upheld by the very Gedolim that are supposed to stand against this.
13. Fine the striking parents
i ,   jerusalem   (04.08.10)
that are trying to force their bigotry on the school.
14. Tyranny by the Court...
Greycoat ,   Tampa, FL   (04.09.10)
Being from the U.S. I don't know anything about either group, i.e. is this about race or religion?, but this is tyranny by the High Court. Thank God in America we still have freedom of Religion. Truly free men and women have the inalienable right to discriminate for whatever reason, but the State decides to rape us of that right. We in the USA not only have the right of freedom of association, but inherit in that right is the freedom of DIS-association. Christian schools here are not terrorized by a court to accept Muslim students, Muslims teachers, or homosexuals and we would fight it if they did. The High Court are a bunch of thugs imposing their views by coercion on others and such should not stand. Sadly, liberty and freedom in the U.S. and Israel are becoming extinct. Sounds like we both need a civil war again to restore liberty.
15. Segregation
mark ,   canada   (04.10.10)
Shame. Shame on the lot of you. Since when does a country allow itself to segregate it's children? It appears that a court is forcing these peoples children to desegregate. A divided country Israel is, and a divided country it will be--maybe. Why don't we segregate whites and blacks, whites and Indians, whites and Chinese (Asians). Just to answer that--we don't. Why don't we separate people by religion here? --we don't. Israel is a wonderful idea, but you people love the things that create the basest instinct in man. One segregates criminals--for a damm good reason--are there a lot of criminals in Israel? Shame on you. Sorry.
