1. Suicide
Michael ,   Haifa   (08.14.05)
If they want to commit suicide, it is their democratic right to do so
2. Any suicides will be on the conscience of the extremists
Eli Vardi ,   Israel   (08.14.05)
Some of these kids have been indoctrinated for years by their extremist Rabbis and in some cases by their parents. There are some Rabbi's that are working against the state and have done irreparable harm to the Zionist youth. In the same way the the Pakisatani's and Brits are closing down extremist Mosques and Madrasot, we should close down extremist Yeshivot. Yes, I know that there are still hatemongering fanatics in Palestine territory, but these Rabbi's are also working against the Israeli State and the rule of Law. Please G-d there'll come a day when the Palestinian Arabs will stop their aggitation and hate mongering, but the right way is NOT to indoctrinate our children with hate and use their methods. We need these kids to build a strong future for Israel.
3. Extremists contradiction
hiram ,   tel aviv   (08.14.05)
1°) Young endoctrinated kids would be against the torah in taking their own lives....since life is the most sacred element received from God if I am correct that is... 2°) Israel will be in better shape when governants will have the guts to kick out any kind of religion based interference in state affairs.. Mix up of religion and religious fanaticism in state affairs; along with the incredible necessity to have religious group taking part in any/all governments represent a constant danger for the survival of Eretz Israel. Rabbis should go to their business as rabbis, and politicians to politics. Real democracy can only exist in places where state affairs are NOT mixed up by religion. Short of that; we look like any arab country... As unpleasant as it can be to realize this, it is nevertheless what it is.
4. To the despondant of Gaza
alison brundage ,   Honolulu, USA   (08.15.05)
Have faith! " Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. The Lord shall reign for ever and ever." Ex 15:17 Trust the Lord. He is your strength. Turn your hearts to Him. He is your Redeemer! He has not forgotten His people. Seek Him!" My prayers are with you all, In Him, alison

Israel cannot be both a Jewish state and democracy. It just won't work. However, Israel MUST be a Jewish state. Religion should be the key part of politics.

Wow, #5, one of the first honest posts here. hats off. Now that IS the truth --Israel is NOT a democracy- it is a state that priveleges JEWS. and THAT is the root of the conflict. And that is alos why, the USA should not support it. Afterall,we fight for democracies ,right?
