1. I would presume ...
John ,   Alaska   (11.01.11)
That when the war against Israel again comes to the point of or a combative exchange (instead of the status quo of the Arabs firing at you then quickly declaring a cease fire until the next time they fire), that the Israeli government will be too busy fighting its real enemy to oppress its own people.
2. The State Is An Anti-Jewish Beast
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (11.01.11)
3. accusations
jay abouaf ,   yafo isarael   (11.01.11)
Shimron Shosani's thinking, and actions are reactionary. At best, he is negligent in pursuing the truth, mediocre for his position, and careless in his speech. A tragic and dangerous politician.
4. This yeshiva should've never opened. Congrats on closing it.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.01.11)
5. Good!
Michael ,   West Jerusalem   (11.01.11)
Now demolish the settlements and turn to the talks with the Palestinians.
6. Yeshivas
Mike ,   UK   (11.01.11)
The sooner thhe government withdraw funding from these places, the better. Yeshivas produce lazy , sexually fustrated males, who don't work, dont pay taxes, harrass women... the list goes on. Good riddance to this rubbish.
7. This is not right
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (11.01.11)
To close down a place of Torah because of a small minority. The vast majority of students are sitting and studying Torah. The Govt would never dare do this to a Moslem school. Leftist hypocrites.
8. Bolshevik Leftists allow no dissenting opinion and they cont
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (11.01.11)
control the laws of the land. Prove you cases leftists, most of your information is conjecture, if you had real info you wopuldnt be house arresting people and getting detainment slips due to "suspicions". why is raed sallah who deos far far far far far far worse allowed to get funding, and freedom of movement? This is collective punishment at its worst
9. Do they ever close arab schools that
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.01.11)
sent out students with bombs or threw malotov cocktails at soldiers and Jewish civilians? Or preach hate and death to Jews? Or is it just Jewish institutions? How about closing the anti Zionist hara-di schools also?
10. About time too!

11. #7,8&9
Ben ,   Chutzlaaretz   (11.02.11)
Dear Rabbi and Friend, I hear your frustration, but... WE ARE NOT PALI-ARABS! We are and should be held to higher standard! You are right, we didn't close down some pretty vile Pali-institutions when they incited violence against us, but that IS NOT A REASON no to hold our people accountable! Excuse me if I expect more and better from Jews!
12. A step in the right direction
Haim ,   TA   (11.02.11)
Finaly some common sense on behalf of the goverment in closing down this vipers nest of rascism. Obviously they are brainwashing these young minds in to commiting acts of violence as their record clearly proves.
13. Completing #5's sentence ...
John ,   Alaska   (11.02.11)
... then take out knives and slash your own throats, because those same "Palestinians" will not be satisfied until every Jew between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is in the same condition as the Fogel family.
14. To #11 Ben - you are of course excused
John ,   Alaska   (11.02.11)
Your position is valid and reasonable. Nevertheless, I'm sure that you would agree that _any_ institution of learning in Israel, whether Jewish or Muslim or whatever, should be expected either to refrain from incitement to felony or to be closed down. Just because you know Muslims are evil does not make this evil acceptable when done by Muslims. It only makes it unsurprising.
15. Let's be clear, the members of the
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.02.11)
Yeshiva are orthodox Jews, traditional orthodox, as opposed to the Chassidim who inhabit areas such as MeaShearim. These same Jews who attend the Yeshiva are also active participants in the IDF and often achieve very high ranks. In other words, they are Israeli patriots and should not be dismissed.
16. arab terrorists will surely thank you.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.02.11)
17. Good Precedent, now...
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.02.11)
This is a positive move, now let the government close the Arab schools and the Arab mosques that teach hatred towards Jews and instills in the Arabs the desire to become shihads. While our dear democratic government is at it, also remove the Arab leaders who incite against our beloved state, too. We Israelis know that our dear government and police force will treat every one as equals under the law. The above is tongue in cheek, we know that the Israelis only beat up Jews, and that they are afraid to deal with Arabs instigators and perpetrators. It is a shame that the same treatment is not meted out to the Arabs.
