who harms defenceless children .Children are not responsible of their parents choices. Lapid does not have the qualities to be PM.

Great speach ? How difficult must it be to give offensive speaches against the haredi Mk's and the haredi Israelis ? Are there any left wing politicians left in Israel, who didn't blame yet charedim for almost every problem, Israel is facing these days? Shame on us All ! Instead of engaging in empty "palavra", Lapid and all his new cabinet, should better find ways to keep the nation whole & together, find a positive way to include the charedi population with the Am Israel, not turn them into periah people...Haven't we been there already ? And haven't our history taught us anything ? I am very uncertain and worried about Lapid being elected to run the Knesset and rull over Israel...

this is not a reason to hate them.

Mr. Lapid, the Haredim are entitled to live off the rest of us. Why? Because they have those beautiful hats, and are wearing dark clothes in the summer heat, and are too stupid to be able to learn some books in a couple of years, but not stupid enough to extort from the rest, and to tell others how to live.

And some wear plastic bags on airplane flights. And some pray to dead people. And some have their way with male babies under the guise of righteous mohels. And some curse Jesus. And some don't work for the "Salt in their bread". LL Cool J='s Lapid Loves Cool Jews.

"Poor and haphazard financial management from all the leftist/socialist governments, from Ben Gurion on, is the basis of today's deficit. On this one, we have no one to blame but the leftists!" It should be illegal to be this stupid.

No one hates the Charadim, What we hate is that they do not pull their own weight and the burden is on us the Israeli Public to provide for them. Time to pull up their pants and get to work like we all must do. A great Rabbi once said. If you do not work you do not eat.

They dont work, dont pay taxes dont serve in the IDF , hate the state of Israel yet they expect the hard working people of this country to pay for their so called life style and their litter of children. Enough is enough, cut their funding , they will soon go get a job. How ironic the harideem living abroad work and also study. They do not accept the rules of the game - equal work, equal pay and equal duties. They said, 'No, we have a special status in which we do not work and we do not pay taxes and we do not defend the country; you defend it for us.

How the people of a nation stick together love and respect each other. This hate will destroy Israel, it happened before, I beg you change your ways before is too late

are they? i work with many at my job. I am also religious.. though not Haredi. Do not believe all of Lapid's live my foolish American friend.

i am so happy i voted for him ...his replies are things i have wanted to say to the haredim for a long long time ...and yair please keep posting on facebook on whatever day you want ..my policy has always been "if you dont interfere in my life i wont interfere in yours" ...unfortunatly the haredim have been interfering in the lives of good israelis for to long and need to be told that israel belongs to us all ..EQUALLY

Yair Lapid does not appear to be a closet Leftist. His stance on the airline strike was responsible, as is his budget. Oligarchs beware the Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennet triumvirate is foing to bring you down, and it may very well be true that in two years time, we all will be living better than we espected. Housing should be next on the agenda. A wide release of government lands, and reform of the planning committees now would go a long way towards making home ownership a reality for young families in two years. Yesh atid may have an atid after all, and the talented and hard working people of Israel will have a better atid too. BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, IRAN MUST BE DEALT WITH. That is why we elected Netanyahu, Prime Minister.

Stop; whining about your children and start taking responsibility for them! Your attitude is the reason so many seculars resent you. If you can't afford them, don't have them! It's as simple as that. And please stop telling us that the bible says to be fruitful and multiply - I don't recallthe command specifying a number. There are many seculars who would love to have more children but don't because they know that they can't afford to give them their basic needs if they do have more. Only the losers whine to the state for support.

Time will show what Yair is upto..good/bad.. I just pray that people dont repent later that they chose him for Israel.. it would be too late... and his hatred towards Haredim is not justified.. personal thoughts should be kept aside for countries good... Hoping and Praying for Israel and its people.. thats what i can do in todays situation..

Don't be shocked. My observation as a Yid living outside of Israel is that the haredim look down upon the secular and at the same time sponge off the state. They also treat the secular shockingly as we see more and more of the bus incidences with young Israeli women being abused . The Rabbonim do not discipline them. This is not the way to make friends and influence people. The Haredim have brought this attitude towards them on themselves. Wake up and smell the roses. The middle ages are long gone. The secular are not your enemy. You yourselves are!

He was elected to make things better financially not worse. Now he wants to increase our taxes and cut the budget of the IDF. Hey Lapid how about helping the poor and the middle class like you promised?! You can do that by NOT increasing our taxes but increasing the taxes of the wealthy corporations and the wealthy lazy clowns sitting all day at the marina in Herzliya. Your popularity based on the haredi hating and bashing is a transitory thing that will not prop you up forever. When people wake up to what a liar you are and that you really have no plan-you will be discarded swiftly. The economic misery you are promising the poor and middle class will be your downfall.

Mr. MK Lapid, I will support you in every way your actions speak louder than words.. Keep up the good work

... but some of them pushed it way too far. Enough. Yair is right !

if Israel allows more BUILDING the cost of housing will allow the birth rate to continue unabated and that should also help with the fiances for ALL. KEEP BUILDING BOOBY!!

they don't pay their share and Israeli's are angry with that and many other injustices that have allowed these " exempted religious" to live off the fat of the land while others are assigned extra duty to pay for it. Where in the Torah are they made exempt and allowed special favors from the rest of the Jews??

after a Haredi song and dance and religious 'shuffle' for years...

This specially designated class of financed exemptions are draining ISrael of 1- money 2- national military service. All of Israel's ancients FOUGHT! They were neither exempt from military service or, paying their own share. And, they had time to beget many children, and many nations. Stop excusing gluttonous behavior.

belong to you" will have many adepts among anti-semites...for whom Haredim and Jews are all the same.

the Jewish majority in Israel defeating the Arabs.

that will lead him to the same fate. I have never seen politicians that attack Jews or Haredim be blessed with success.NEVER EVER.
