1. Totally unacceptable behavior! period.
Eli ,   Raanana   (12.10.13)
2. Disgusting, but not news
R ,   Israel   (12.10.13)
This behavior is disgusting, but the man is not an official or representative of anyone, so why is this news? There are nasty stupid people everywhere, will you print every stupid thing that comes out of their mouths?
3. Good that this was reproted.
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.10.13)
It happens all too often in many schools over various topics. It is time that the Min of Ed took a hand and required the police to remove such disruptive parents.
4. He is a nut job, and his behavior in no way represents
the general public   (12.10.13)
5. parent abuses teacher
yoel ,   Israel   (12.10.13)
The boy should have completed his assignment wether on Religon or otherwise, respect for all religon's must taught in all schools.
6. I am sure the father is not an atheist. Atheists respect
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.10.13)
Atheists respect all religions equally and favor separation of all religions from the State on an equal basis. First of all, this father owes an apology to the Arabs. Secondly, this father should be forced to take courses in Civic studies, starting from the most elementary grade. Make sure to test him after each course and make him repeat the lessons when his brain refuses to absorb the new (to him) information.
7. Spoken like a true Aryan
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (12.10.13)
When did we decide we were the Master race?
8. Hitler used to say that to Jews...
(12.10.13)
9. #3
Hello ,   someplace, somewhere   (12.10.13)
Idk... Ive been insulted more than once because im jewish, im a bit jealous it never made it to the news
10. Education in tolerance
Joseph ,   London England   (12.10.13)
In Haredi schools we integrate teaching about Christianity and Islam into History and Geography lessons. I suspect the father in the article is a secular Jews who is opposed to all religions, and would equaly complain if Chabad asked his son to put on Tefillin!
11. Highlighting our biggest idiots. More countries should!
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.10.13)
Every country has giant idiots. I can tell you that Montreal certainly does and so does Toronto. If more newspapers shone a light on their stupid behaviour, it would set a good example for everyone else to see what is shunned -- good work Ynet.
12. The father is a narrow-minded twit.
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.10.13)
This 'pure-blood' mindset is total crap. The father was out of line and owes an apology to the instructors. I'm sure the kid was totally mortified by his father's behavior.
13. #5 Respect is not a given
deavman ,   Akko   (12.10.13)
The behavior of the student's parent is reprehensible and should be punished.This said, there is no requirement for respect towards religion. People should be respected. Religions are fair game. The stupid idea that all religions deserve respect is what brings forth extremism.Religion has to earn respect though the actions of its members....and so far I don't see that happening soon.
14. where is
emar ,   Brussel   (12.10.13)
we did not hear from Sara B? it is the same type
15. no wonder
emar ,   Brussel   (12.10.13)
nobody criticizes this religion
16. By grade 7, my kids didn't come to their parents
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.10.13)
to report on what projects they had to do - they just did them. In my opinion, Israelis are not getting enough general education. They receive an insulated education that doesn't teach them enough about the world and people in it.
17. Pure blood?
KJD ,   Delanco, USA   (12.10.13)
His blood is pure? Who is this guy, Lord Voldemort?
18. If this is the whole story and nothing but
Israeli 2   (12.10.13)
without any prior comments or provocations by the coordinator or teacher, then this father is a true insult to Israel and Judaism. Such words are never to be spoken to anyone. He could have done it a bit more diplomatically. He should remember that Leftist teachers be they Jewish or otherwise will most likely give more extreme projects to perform. What a dufus.
19. #7: You are Jewish too? Oish!
Israeli 2   (12.10.13)
20. The answer is renal dialysis!
Mark ,   London, UK   (12.10.13)
The man must be on renal dialysis and consequently have purer blood than the rest of us.
