1. Independence From What Day?
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (05.05.14)
B"H - So, Happy Independence from Hashem Day for half of the country and Let's Make Sure We Reconnect With G-d Day to the other half!
2. Bias
(05.06.14)
What about non-jewish Israelis? Not worth a survey?
3. #2, they are worthy of a survey but not on these matters
Jake ,   USA   (05.06.14)
Its like surveying a minority group of Communist Americans, about their sentiments on civil liberties. In a word, pointless.
4. #1:It's not your God we should be independent from, it's the
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.06.14)
peddlers of superstition, wielding usurped power over other, gullible creatures, we shall strive to be free of. Our religious tradition is what defines us and that we must always keep alive. But we must not by any means let it's cult-leaders have ANY say in our daily, our daily, civil life. If we do- we're doomed. Just like all the "pure", Islamic states!
5. To those in survey who are less optimistic...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.06.14)
The Lord showed us a sign on the morning of April 15th, a total lunar eclipse on the beginning of Pesach. There will be three more, also occurring on Jewish holy days this year and next year. You've heard the hype, you've read the attempts to debunk the hype, but nothing will change the fact that the Lord has signaled us that He is with us. There will be turbulent times ahead of us, but this time He will do our bidding. Call me a religious looneytune, but that's what they called the prophets who prophesied what is to come. We are Jews, are we not?
6. Gut feeling: 70% think we're going the right way. Polls lie.
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.06.14)
7. Happy naqba day
lucifer69   (05.06.14)
8. Excuse me Ynet but wrong title and survey
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (05.06.14)
It cannot be a nation state survey since it questioned only a certain type of Israelis completely ignoring other members of the Israeli society. For the recall, more than 20% (almost a fifth of the country) is not Jewish but we are still Israelis !!!! You cannot and will never manage to ignore and erase us
9. To #5 manicdrummer
Gershon Reed ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (05.06.14)
Jewish calander months always start at the new moon, therefore the 15th of the month is the full moon (every month on the Jewish calander). Passover is always on 15 Nissan, and Sukkot is always on 15 Tishrei. A luner eclipse can only occur with the alignment of the moon, earth and sun (earth in the middle) therefore only on a full moon. So to say a lunar eclipse will occur on a Jewish holiday is not exactly a prophetic prediction, but a stastical likelyhood. You might as well be saying there will be a sunrise that day too.
10. #8 wrong survey?
zalman ,   williamsburg US   (05.06.14)
I am not zionist and not a big supporter of the modern state for true Torah reasons but your comment is pointless. #2's post applies to you.
11. #1 - Independence
Ehud   (05.06.14)
Independence as a state after 2000 years of statelessness and persecution is not something you should underappreciate. You benefit from it too. It would never have been achieved had the Zionistic pioneers been superstitious followers of autocratic Rabbis who do as told rather than think for themselves and act as free people.
12. Open Miracle
Zechariah   (05.06.14)
Even for an Atheist Israel is a Miracle .The Palestinian Catastrophe was due to Rejection of Partition plans in 1937 Millions of Jews would have be saved ..
