31. Straight to Bakum
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (04.12.13)
Since all of those young men between the ages of 18 and 21 were obviously not studying they should have their revolting exemptions revoked and be carted of to Bakum forthwith. The Haredim offend real Jews - as they stand at the wall during the middle of the working week offending the rest of us to have to share the Haredi burden - surely the police should be arresting them for offending Judaism
32. WOWzers girls the revolution is over you won!
Israel ,   Israel   (04.12.13)
Now is the time to put away the revolutionary weapons and get tot he business of peace with our fellow Jews! In other words ladies you b on the edge of hubris enough already with self-righteous aggrandizement!
33. WOW ignores Supreme Court ruling
Joseph ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.13)
Natan's proposed plan is what the Israeli Supreme Court ordered years ago, e.g. that the section of the Western Wall known as Robinson's Arch should be designated as the site for non-Orthodox prayer services. During these years the Reform Movement could have developed the site as a world class advert for Reform, but little was done aside from Bar and Bas Mitzvahs which take place there regularly. WoW chose to ignore Robinson's Arch and to get maximum publicity by offending the traditional Jewish women at the Western Wall Plaza. The American Jewish media were taken in by WoW, ignoring the Supreme Court ruling which led to their arrest for contempt of court. I hope we have turned that page and that we can share Isaiah's vision of the New Jerusalem, 'And My House [Jerusalem] shall be called a House of Prayer for all nations.'
34. WOMEN AT THE WALL
H ROSEN ,   PA USA   (04.14.13)
THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AT ALL SHOWS HOW FAR ISRAEL HAS DETERIORATED TOWARDS A THEOCRATIC STATE. HERE IN THE US THIS IS NO BIG DEAL TO HAVE WOMEN PRAYING IN PRAYER SHAWLS OR ANY SHMATAH THEY WANT THE RELIGION IS BECOMING LESS AND LESS RELEVANT IN THE WEST BECAUSE RELIGIIOUS FANATICS DEMONIZE THESE WONDERFUL GIRLS INSTEAD OF BEING PLEASED THAT THESE GALS ARE SHOWING THAT THEY CARE FOR THE JEWISH FAITH IT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD BE PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED BY INSANE HAREDIS
