courtney ,   philly   (09.02.16)
why the haredi hold any sway is beyond me, keep it up, i wont be coming anytime soon
2. Once again
oliver ,   Eilat   (09.02.16)
Once again our worthless priminster has caved into the Haredim .
3. The barking dog knows it will get the entire bone.
Michael ,   California, USA   (09.02.16)
Under this "leader" why to settle for 17 when 20 is what they want? It will not matter to them that trains will be overloaded even more, that safety will suffer, that the highway will close when people will need to get to work. Re-election and power are the bone and let's the country suffer, that's the credo.

Gady ,   Mexico City   (09.02.16)
zebel. that's what this clowns are. We should do like the sudanese:
divide Israel into two states: one of the secular peace loving hard-working israelis, and one for the meshugene, let them pay for the yashivas and take care of their security. pfff
5. Who Does Israel Depend Upon More...
Michael ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.02.16)
...soldiers, or self-righteous religious zealots who want to ban mathematics, history and geography in their schools?

The economy is doing fine, Israel is stable in a sea of instability. Bibi can afford an early election especially if he is seen as standing up to these blackmailing, blackhatted black hearts. Enough is enough. I am tired of pulling in foreign currency just so these public trough-feeding parasites can blackmail the government out of my hard earned tax money. I don'r mind the high tax rates considering Israel's wonderful social benefits and security needs, but I do not one cent of my money going to these anti-Israel draft evading, misogynist, welfare cheating, racist neanderthals.

Better that Bibi tells them to get a real job and cuts them off without any public funding. If you fund these cults, then why not the Moonies, Heaven's Gate, Scientologists, ISIS and every other cult out there?

Rewarding stupidity, ignorance and chauvinism will do no one any good. The Torah says you will eat by the sweat of your brow, how come these embezzlers never quote that?
6. If you violate the sabbath, why have the country altogether?
David ,   New york   (09.02.16)
7. The Hagada which is read on Passover
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (09.02.16)
In Israel, should be a bit modified. After mentioning that Jews departed from slavery to freedom, it must be added that now we are dragged into another slavery, carried out by backward parasites.
8. PM Mr. Netanyahu: just write them a check...
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (09.02.16)
these ultra-Orthodox will take cash in lieu of Shabbos every time!

9. The Nation is quickly losing its Jewish Soul
SecularJew ,   Jerusalem   (09.02.16)
The nation is quickly losing not only its Jewish soul but
its reason to even exist if we have no respect for basic
Jewish tradition no one will except out right to claim
to be a homeland for the Jewish nation with all that that
entails basic respect for the Jewish Civilization it supposedly
represent and that includes a day of rest the gift the Jew
gave the world , Look at America there is no longer a day
of rest it has become a consumer nation gone mad very
few values of any kind can be found there sadly any longer
Israelis must decide if they wish to lose there Jewish Soul
if they do they will be rightly considered just another Western
Colonial power, hope they will choose wisely.
10. It is sad that only Haredi politicians are doing the fightin
Aryeh Herzig   (09.02.16)
Every Jewish person in Israel secular or religious should be outraged that the most important expression of Judaism is treated so lightly in a Jewish state.
We should all demand that Shabbat be scrupulously observed in the public realm of our precious Jewish state.
11. Local Erdogans pushing the enveloppe
Avi L.   (09.03.16)
Local Erdogans pushing the enveloppe the same way turkish the one is doing with NATO.

Here the blackmail Bibi to leave him without political support, there lil' sultan is blackmailing NATO to open its flank to Putin and open invasion's gates.

Same kind of guys, same kind of behavior.
