this sounds believable, since they cannot accept the israeli cultuire and costumes, they are not interested yo be part of the country, then it is only fair that they should be sent back to their beloved Taliban country & culture, all of the family!

As a secular I look with the same contempt and disgust and the haredim whose women and girls are dressed from head to toe in the mid of August. In my opinion, it won't take long till the haredim will srart covering themselves entirely like these "taliban" women. Extremism is their cup of tea.

is even more harmful. The golden middle way that is what Israel should try to achieve with G-Ds help,by studying science and Tora.

Apparently you can't read a simple article and understand what you are reading. This has nothing to do with the haredi culture, it comes from simple minded fools like yourself who are looking for the attention they never received at home.

they go from one extreme to the other

"Apparently you can't read a simple article and understand what you are reading. This has nothing to do with the haredi culture, it comes from simple minded fools like yourself who are looking for the attention they never received at home." No, you're wrong and #13 is correct. This is a natural outgrowth of Haredi extremism. I'm surprised it's taken this long, frankly. The children should without question be removed. It's a form of abuse. Of course, I'd say the same of the Haredi lifestyle in general.

it is forbiden for Israelit woman to cover her face, you can find it in biblicals sources. this nutty isn't aware fromwhere veil custom came from.

can't be very helpfull . Studying tora ? waste of time . Those who can't see some BIG differences should better stay silent . Whom the shoe fits .....

that would be a solution .

How can this be considered a natural outgrowth of haredi extremism if 1) these people are newly religious 2) it is frowned upon by ALL of the haredi Rabbis and 3) you don't find this kind of behavior anywhere in the world with regard to the hardedim?? The fact that you think haredi lifestyle in general should be removed just further proves my point, that these people come from extremists like yourself who think that anyone other then themselves are normal.

This is a reaction at the extreme free society that seeds 13 years prostitutes . Look at Magazine "Hiding in the shadows"

This should be prohibited for security reasons.Terrorists can easily hide under these clothes.

Could it be that these women are not Jewish?

it is a mystery how to stay in good terms with them.

It's stupid, weak people like these who have to take these silly rules SO seriously that is making Judaism a sick joke. Not a surprise at all that too many thoughtful, intelligent people are so turned off by all the silly rules that are of so little meaning in today's world. These people are just delusional.

Look for it, among your friends.Many want to stay friends with you,because you have an interesting personnality,but only angels and doormats succeed.

comming soon in your neighborhood I guess that the Taliban, Ahmadinejad and the rest of the islamic crap, can now drive unimpeded into Israel and feel like home. As the koran and the bible would suggest, when they see a jewish woman not dressed according to the code, stoning to death is the law of the land, just like their sisters in afghanistan, Saudia and other pure blood aryans. I suppose that living as slaves in a hovel, speaking yiddish is part of their " modest roots " As if their rabbis, like their ' confreres ' the priets, do not molest their children, rape them, so when they grow up they can continue this religious ritual (so they'll be closer to god I assume). As usual our not so illustrious govt is always the last to find out. Now for the next 6 - 12 months there will be heated debates as to what to do with these little girls. TNT straps next ??

If Israel doesn t become orthodoxe it will be Has Veholile rejected from the Middle East, as a strange body.The Arabs have no problem with an orthodoxe Israel and would not make war.They don t want the influence of western culture.This is their main problem.So you see you look in the wrong direction when blaming the Haredi.Orthodoxe is not Taliban.We need to chose the Golden Middle way.

to wear -- actually encouraging their children to follow the standards set by the American TV and Film industries -- that women's value is to be measured by their sex-appeal. I've seen the mother-daughter shopping expeditions at the malls, etc -- both all tarted-up in heels and spaghetti straps, micro-minis and boots, everything tight. These outfits would be how the Hollywood wardrobe departments would costume women playing the part of "streetwalkers/hookers" all the way up to the mid-80's. Disgusting that so many mothers are vicariously living through their daughters and taking PRIDE at how their little ones look "hot". I could see this veiling as an extreeeeeeme reaction to that culture as a whole, that values women as not much more than meat. It is misguided, but understandable. I would sooner recommend a long-haired ear-ringed boy of 6 and matching 8 year old strappy sister in tight micro-mini with high boots for social worker supervision.

This is ABUSE . Someone must stop this fanatic behavior immediatly!!!!

these women are totally misguided. Mature and well educated men do not have to 'be saved'. It is only weaklings, whimps or criminals that jump at women and molest them..and these women encourage this immature behavior. There are billions of men in the world who do not have the problem, so what's with the religious?

I have seen these women walking around central Jerusalem and have been upset to see what a misguided or sick woman can do to herself but I did not realize they also may be abusing children. I thought the "Taliban mother" was an isolated case. The social welfare authorites have to investigate for the sake of these children!

they are crazy but how incorrect the secular isralies dress the jewish people hamas doesn't accept that israel is for the JEWISH people so too the ultra secular israelies

Exactly Rita (#83)! These women don't see that all these stupid rules are weak men's rules. I do hope the State of Israel will do something to stop this absurd. If not our destiny is really a theocracy, and Jerusalem won't be so different from Teheran... :(

I'm surprised that any even halfway normal man would want to marry these women. They have *such* a negative, low opinion of men. This is hardly a logical progression for haredi women. They've departed entirely from Judaism! As for those who say "Who cares?": I really don't care if adults want to act stupid as long as they don't bother others, but look what they're doing to the children! As far as I'm concerned, *that's* the issue here!

Besides the obvious messages that their bodies are to be hidden, there are actual physical risks of covering oneself head to toe. It's called Osteoporosis brought on by lack of Vitamin D. I had a friend who was a nurse in Afghanistan, and she had a 16 year old pregnant girl carried in by her husband. The woman couldnt' stand up - she crawled - because her bones wouldn't support her, and he REFUSED to let her sit in the sun with her arms and legs uncovered for 15 minutes a day, which would've given her enough vitamin D. Damage is being done to these young girls as well as the older women. One MUST have vitamin D.
