Yes, he actually is that stupid.

must INCLUDE girls. Only private teams may forbid women to play with men

If women can serve in the military alongside men, then they ought to have similar rights on public transportation. A democracy is often judged by the equality of its women and that sets off many Arab states. Women should be rabbis too and let that oaf know that they are as bright and much brighter than the dummy making such stupild statements.

The overwhelmed hospitals will be quite thankful.

everything it is a sad day for the people of Israel in the land of Israel. I hope that haredim and chilonim stop for a moment and realize this is evil must stop for the sake of the nation. Serious introspectiion is needed by everyone and change must come within. This stupidity can't continue from a societal point of view. It is like two children fighting over a gift from their father and in the end the gift is ripped and both children cry. lets not destroy our land and our people. In the end we will all end up as losers. Let us stop and think of the consequences of our actions.

The women are not interested in a silly man's sport. The comments the idiot made come from one of the most suspicious idiot in Israel. We don't need the likes of him telling us what to or not to do.

hard to belive yhat this idiot was voted in no one is that stupid surely hay but then he is a man. mind you he has a point I remember when getting on a bus inJerusalem was a contact sport, and it is further to walk to the back of the bus.Is he married his wife must be so prouid of him i can't go on I give up

What a hateful ignoramus of a man.

Such terrible discrimination. I tried to enter a women's wash room to do my thing, but the women there refused to let me enter. Before I had a chance to take a video of the affair, the security guards roughed me up and took away my privileged of going anywhere in this country! Israel is suppose to be a democratic country! Why am I, a charadi man, refused equality at a local shopping center? I want full equality under the law to do my thing when and where I desire!!

What a idiotic comment. No one says that women have the physical ability to play football at that level. But if they somehow did, they should be allowed to play. Tthe MK's comment is just idiotic.

That it was Eli Shai who said that, body was filled with rage. How the hell do we let these idiots man such important positions? Holy crap it's a 3 years old argument. The nerves! The chutpah! How dare he use such pathetic arguments and goes defensive instead of going against the extremism in his public sector? This is not just women, this is about the nature of the state. It goes even back to the murder of Rabin.

Why cant a Haredi Woman study in a yeshiva and her husband stay at home to look after the kids?

While both seeks to hurt the country for their personal profit, one of them remains slightly respectable - because faithful to her fairy-tale people.

This is a STUPID comparison . There is NO segregation in football or basketball , nor in any sport [ exept Korfball , the only mixed team sport ] Women , even if people want them to be equals to men , are different physically . You can't compare a 100 meter woman champion to a man in the same speciality . For Yshai : it's you god who has , in your beliefs , created women and mea . So complain to him .

clearly not a school most woman would be seen dead at!

that can describe the utter stupidity of these MEN's responses? This ain't Casablanca, Yishai. Really, just go back to your cave and leave governing to human beings.

Secular men demand the right to get pregnant and the right to have a clitoris so that we can have multiple orgasms

should it be. If this offends you, tough luck!

The correlation is 100% and the value of the comparison and Yishai's IQ is no higher than3

Some of the hared men don't even recognize the State of Israel, Therefore, why the ministers, public officials should even contemplate to give in to their unreasonable behaviour? IF THEY DON'T LIKE WOMEN SITTING ANYWHERE IN THE PUBLICLY SUPPORTED MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, PLEASE LET THEM WALK with their cellular phones glued to their ears. The "uniform" doesn't make them "better" Jews, nor better and wiser interpreters of the Jewish Law (Halacha). I can't imagine that the haredi men would make a scene on the a bus running on Bathurst Street in Toronto, or in Brooklyn, New York. They would be promptly thrown off the bus. Israel is not Iran, nor Saudi Arabia, it is a homeland of all Jewish people, no exception.

If they could, they would. Women can compete in the marketplace, so they do. They can ride on a bus, so they do. They can do anything you can do, probably even better than you. So suck it up you backward mullah. In fact, the only way your type survives is by holding civilization prisoner in the dark ages. Similar to the Muslim brotherhood.

Professional soccer leagues also discriminate against men who aren't very good at soccer. I'm leading a million man "not good at soccer" march tomorrow.

It is one thing to observe laws of modesty and decency, and quite another to invent a new mumbo jumbo Torah. Chareidim and those that kiss their Tuckhus are harming halacha and putting jews at the butt of jokes. Stop abusing boys, stop hypocricy stop stealing, stop avoiding taxes, stop avoiding army service, get jobs Chareidim, most of them, in my book means to me chillul Hashem.

The guy is a moron. Pure and simple.

in mayring haridiem men this way in a few years no kids no more harediem more money to the states and these men can have each other since it seems this is what they want.

We can deal with jackass ultra ultra-orthodox morons who are one step short of the Taliban and a few cards short of a full deck. What we can't tolerate is a person in authority, like Yishai, who is so far removed from reality that he thinks that some haredi nutcases chasing and threatening little girls is ok. Yishai just isn't irresponsible with the national fire service - he's now screwing around with the safety of little Jewish girls in Beit Shemesh whose only sin is that they live close to the nutcases who Eli Yishai wants to let run amok. Yishai should resign and let somebody with more Jewish responsibility run his ministry. We're getting tired of Shas political hacks who are not much better than the haredi scumbag minority in RBS (and I am the first to say that it's a tiny tiny minority).

Larry, Your comment re men using a woman's bathroom, is perverted logic. The are some very legitimate grounds to separate men from women, separate bathrooms is one of them. Separate buses is not. There is NO halachik grounds to do so. What next, separate streets for men and women so that they could not accidentally run into each other!? Get real.

Toilets are also segregated, so? Lame comparison with buses or even synagogues.
