31. What a stupi guy
Yossef   (12.25.11)
even Rav Yosef's son is smarter!
32. Football
Ruben Jacobi ,   UK   (12.25.11)
It would appear the learned Rabbi as indeed in many other things in the world,does not understand the game of football, up to the age of 12 in the UK there are mixed teams but after that the difference in physical strength ,make it not sensible.
33. he is actually right
Golan ,   modiin   (12.25.11)
Women should not have a women's team only and women should compete against men in every sport. I know some women can beat me in archery... and that at 90 meters their arrows will fall flat like Livni's arguments or Shimon Peres' dreams in the face of reality. But hey! whatever men can do women can do better... right?
34. TALIBAN "LOGIC" creeping in.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.25.11)
35. What a TERRIBLE example of an Orthodox man, spitting on
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.25.11)
women by ultra crazy "charadi" who disrespect real religious Jews is not worth his attention. His wife should tell him that his bedroom is the front porch and his dinner table is the cafe down the street.
36. Minister Yishai is an IDIOT
Steve ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.25.11)
37. Gynecologists also segregate!
Soshana ,   Tel Aviv   (12.25.11)
Gynecologists also segregates sexes, Yishai. But maybe if you operate and get a vagina, u would be happily married to the defender of Maccabi Um Il Fahim, and then u would be less frustrated, and go to the gynecologist that would not segregate you anymore, and and leave women and foreigner children alone.
38. Women Playing Soccer
Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.25.11)
Women can play soccer very well. Women serve in the IDF very well, too.
39. #33, not to be sexist, but the best of the female athletes
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.25.11)
would still have a hard time competing with the best of the male ones. They can outdo many males, but not the best in most categories. Let's leave them to doing stuff that involves more use of the brain than brawn.
40. Hasidim taunting women in Beit Shemesh
A Cohen ,   Cedarhurst, NY USA   (12.25.11)
The police should check the names of every Hasid standing on the street calling women names and spitting, to check if they are getting stipends from the government to learn in a yeshivah, since if they are on the street causing trouble they are not where they belong - in the yeshiva!!
41. Words for remember
Philolog ,   jerusalem   (12.25.11)
Yshai: Incitement against haredim is an awful thing Zeev: Although a 99% of all criminal acts take place in the secular sector I will not sully the name of an entire sector.
42. So much hate
Chananya ,   USA   (12.25.11)
Chareidim are the Taliban... Come on why so much hate, just stick to the issue, Yishai and the individuals involved. This is only a step away from saying Israel is the Taliban. Too much anger, hate, and emotions.
43. He does have a point. Be open minded.
Daniel ,   NY, USA   (12.25.11)
If a women was competitive at soccer or even better than a man, most premier leagues would not accept such a women. Football teams are segregated. Its a fact. There is also an issue of forcing people to follow morals that they do not hold of, in a private environment. The issue is not so simple.
