1. Quite the neighborhood!
Cameron ,   USA   (02.27.12)
Packing a pistol within easy reach would be much wiser.
2. Do not make an image of...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.27.12)
I don't know right now how to quote exactly as is writen in Torah,but as long as I know ,these manequins are something forbiden by Torah and I doubt that by being so,this is a legitimate measure to be adopted by these religious women. Maybe the answer to resolve the problem does not stand in such measure, and, actually, I do believe it does not.
3. What about a gun?Are guns allowed?
Rachel ,   US   (02.27.12)
4. Dummie with a blue eyes in IDF uniform ,...
split ,   US   (02.27.12)
There was a joke in Soviet Union about a US Negro spy in Moscow ,...
5. Dummies ok but not enough
marcel   (02.27.12)
disguise is insufficient. assume the idf cannot help. each vehicle has to be armed and roads should be patrolled by scout vehicles with reinforced windows and 5 or 6 passengers armed with guns and one machine gun. Shoot any arabs firing rocks. Just shoot at any and all. Forget about the idf. And cut down the time you are praying to take pistol training, karate and then scout patrols. Every woman should be armed.Do not leave your defence to god. Take matters into your own hands.
6. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE ARMED!
Devorah   (02.28.12)
After learning gun safety beforehand.
7. Is this a lecture?
Has   (02.28.12)
What if Arabs criminals watch this video? Your "hitchhiker" will be useless once they learn it...
8. This is What Happens
EGGM ,   Petah Tikva, Israel   (02.28.12)
This is what happens when the state wages a war against settlers and makes it difficult for them to get small arms. How are these women supposed to defend themselves? As almost every other talkbacker here said, settlers, especially women, must be armed.
9. Obvious Solution
Ron ,   OC, US   (02.28.12)
If a Jew loses a car then the IDF goes into an Arab neighborhood and collects a Beemer to replace it. Or, shoot the offending Arabs.
10. Shoot them dead!
Alon ,   NY USA   (02.28.12)
and no more arabs will come for anybody, Israel is too soft, now judeization of Jerusalem is discussed, do not pay attention to the world anymore, just to your job and finish with them. Any violent arab should be sent to paradise
11. The state does not want Jews to be
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.28.12)
armed! It is very hard to get a pistol license and impossible to get a license or a rifle or shotgun. You cannot even buy ammunition legally. You can buy it from arabs on the black market. The arabs on the other hand have legal and illegal weapons,plus enough ammo to sell to others. And the cops know this! The ministry of the interior, the police and the shabak are against Jews being armed. They try to discourage us from keeping our licenses and also make sure the fees are high, if we have them. Finally the cost of going to a firing range can be 100 shekels to enter, plus the cost of the ammo. And there is no one to protest this, either from the knesset or the public.
12. #8...
les ,   canada   (02.28.12)
you are wrong! not only settlers, but every adult israeli MUST BE ARMED! the barbarians are taking full advantage of the system there, which seem to protect the stone throwers, car jackers, baby killers and the rest of the murderers. it must stop, or israel is history!!!
13. That's terrible, has g fallen asleep?Wake her/him up,someone
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.28.12)
14. Fools want Israel to be a "democratic" state for arabs and
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.28.12)
Jews but don't bother to give the Jews guns to protect themselves. Kahane knew oil and water wouldn't mix.
15. Darn shame the mannequins' can't shoot-back!
Jack B. ,   USA   (02.28.12)
I don't think this is going to work well. It's a shame these women have to worry about these dirty animals'! The IDF and Police better start doing their jobs' and safe-guard the people they are sworn to protect. God bless, Israel!
16. settlers?
joe ,   south africa   (02.28.12)
is it not time that we stop calling jews who live in the west bank settlers....they are RESIDENTS of the west bank like any other population...if we are going to call them settlers then lets call all the population settlers..arab and jew...
17. Will we have peace in the middle east?

18. A good solution
James ,   London   (02.28.12)
A portable version of these dolls should be made available free of charge to all women wishing to take a bus in Haredi areas.
19. Why is this defense technique being revealed?
(02.28.12)
Terrorists read these articles, and it doesn't help any future victims to have this out in the open. Seriously, why? Just report on the carejacking wave, that the police are working on it, and that's all.
20. Shalit terrorist release
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.28.12)
Did you think the terrorist murderers released for Shalit would be sitting at home watching tv after they got out and returned back here to Israel. Don't you see that the "new" intifada is just the tip of the iceberg? Thanks to Bibi for caving in - and thanks to the Shalits and our left-wing media for caring only about their son and not the country or their fellow Jews. Great combination - the weak Bibi and media pressure. A sure losing combination.
21. i wonder if they touch them?
(02.28.12)
22. 4
Rachel   (02.28.12)
There are plenty of Jews with blue eyes,I am one of them.
23. Simple solution
Proud American ,   U.S.A   (02.28.12)
Desert Eagle .50!!!
24. Pathetic
Ari ,   Kfar Saba   (02.28.12)
Pathetic that we have to resort to such passive methods.
25. Thanks for outing the peaceful attempt to defend ourselves.
Ayelet ,   Maale Adummim   (02.28.12)
26. mannequins
Istrue.net ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.28.12)
Great idea, let's hope it works!
27. Instead of using mannequins
Bob ,   NYC   (02.28.12)
Have a real man with a gun hiding in the back seat - when the arabs start throwing rocks, aim the car at them and shoot those remaining.
28. you should be sued
avi   (02.28.12)
revealing unnecessarily tactics employed to save lives? how dare you risk lives...you need to make a public apology
29. Outrage!
Jake ,   US   (02.28.12)
Publishing a story about settlers using mannequins as soldiers can lead to people losing lives. This is one of the stupidest things you could ever publicize. Shame on you, I'm removing your website from my bookmark list at once.
30. This should not be in the news, Ynet!
me ,   here   (02.28.12)
Very unwise.
