1. appalling beating

Tell me, what is the difference between this and and what the Palestinians do? Have the Sephardim lived so long among the Muslims that they become like them. This is horrid, This was a Jewish boy, after all and a Haredi too. If they were against the match-- why? was it because he was not Sephardit? What's the matter with just talk and reason? Does one have to descend to the animal level?
2. Appalling beating
anonymous ,   New York   (05.11.05)
Why do you slander all Sephardim because of this disgusting incident? Perhaps, it's the rabbi's hyper-religiosity, rather than this ethnic background, that resulted in this crime. Also, according to newspaper articles, the young man was from a Sephardi family and the supposed reason for the attack had nothing to do with whether the boy was Sephardi or not. It was the fact that the rabbi's daughter was going out with a man at all (and refused to stop seeing him), which, apparently, violated some religious restriction.
3. Keep on Big lies
Rachel ,   Israel   (05.25.05)
I know and you know that the typical traditional Muslim education respect the female and they cannot treat her like what Amar’s family do. But what is wrong is that we Jews condemner the crimes when the others do but when it comes from us we try to find excuses for our acts : “Have the Sephardim lived so long among the Muslims that they become like them”! I think we are not honest towards ourselves before to be towards the others. We have to accept to tell the truth and do not keep on lying on the others. I do not know what God reserve to us by our stubborn attitude and wickedness.
