1. Their marriage has a sell-by date of six months
Talula ,   Israel   (08.17.14)
Bet the milk in my fridge lasts longer than their marriage. Stupid, so stupid. These unions end in disaster. Every time!
2. Dumb girls only learn it the hard way.

3. So much for the only democracy in the Middle East
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (08.17.14)
Israel is NOT a democracy G. Moscatelli
4. What's the fuss about?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.17.14)
She's not a Jew; she converted to Islam. The bride's family has disowned her; so should we.
5. He'll love her until he takes a second wife.
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.17.14)
And if Morel is happy with that, how's it our concern? She's converted to Islam and knows how women are treated. Everyone must live their own life. If this is the road she has taken, it's her business, not ours. All we can do is hope the husband treats her well and provides for her. In the meantime, best wishes for a long and happy marriage. Everyone deserves at least that much on their wedding day. I wonder, though, if he really loved her, why he didn't convert? Oh, I forgot, converting out of Islam is punishable by death according to the Quran. What a nice, forgiving religion!

7. Mistake
Zeev ,   Rehovot   (08.18.14)
She stay Jewish after conversion, and her children as well. However they may be raised in hatred to Jews.
8. Sabotaging Internationalism and Peace
Zechariah   (08.18.14)
The couple have a free Choice in these times .The state is a Human Rights Democracy not Without Lots of Flaws but Dictatorships are Mostly Horrifically Worse .
9. Ugly racist hate-filled comments above
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.18.14)
I'm a religious settler and I say good luck to them and may they live a long and happy life together. The sages have much to say about people who open their mouths (or in this case, type on their keyboards) only to say evil things. The only problem with this marriage is that some right-wing whackos decided to show the world what sinat hinam is all about and that some Jews can spout mean, evil comments at any time. Jews convert and intermarry all over the world. Yes it often produces family angst, but only here in Israel does it produce public displays of sinat hinam - the disease that lead to our dispersion in the first place.
10. Ben Gvir the only thing you have taught us
David Heartman ,   USA   (08.18.14)
Ben Gvir the only thing you have taught us is that you are a vile racist and have no place in a modern democratic society. If you are an example of religious morality then the state of Israel will not survive. It is a persons basic human and democratic right to marry the person of their choice and that includes same sex couples, regardless of what a religious bigot like Ben Gvir thinks. May his daughters marry muslims and his sons be gay.
11. Her conversion in islam is the main problem
Zeev ,   Rehovot   (08.18.14)
To-day there are 16000 ml Muslim and only 15 ml Jews. And absolute majority of Muslim consider themselves in the state of war against Jews. More then 1000 Muslim against 1 Jew. I am sure, that if she has married with Christian man and has converted in Christianity, Jews would be no pleased, but there was no such protests. And five hundred years ago it would be vice versa
