61. the sea of hate
Vitaliy ,   Brooklyn, USA   (09.09.07)
Well, it's interesting to see how reflexes work in otherwise thinking people. The laws should be just to work properly. The Law of Return should not be rewritten, it should be applied correctly. Aside from one teenager in the story, the rest were not illegal immigrants, they were not even partially Jewish. The way, my guess from experience, they are in Israel is that their non-Jewish mothers married a Jew who repatriated. These non-Jewish (they're not only Russian) boys did not want to come to Israel, they do not want to live in the state of Israel. It was their mothers' choice. So, why not instead of changing the law of return, introduce a law that would mandate ALL (not just Russians or immigrants, but ALL, including Arabs) citizens upon reaching the age of majority swear loyalty to Israel as a Jewish state. If the person does not do this, they will not have a right to receive the benefits of citizenship, no travel documents if they have no right to receive documents of another state. If they do have another citizenship -> deportation. If they are found to be involved in terrorism/neo-Nazism/anarchism -> deportation or no benefits.
62. Get the Shabak boys in to question them
Isabella ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
Let's see how tough they are then. Dirtly filth, hang them!!
63. Paqid Recognized Jew by Orthodox Synagogue & Rabbis 3rd try
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.09.07)
I've had my own seat, with my name plate, in Moreshet Avot Orthodox Synagogue here in Ra'anana, where I've been praying regularly, for over 10 years. While some Christians have been too ignorant to figure out how to check that it's Orthodox I hope there aren't any Jews that ignorant. I have all of the Orthodox documentation wherein Orthodox rabbis recognize me as an Orthodox Jew in good standing. There is even a copy in my book of the letter from Chief Rabbi Eliyahu, when he held the office, extending his blessings to me in response to my letter to him that set forth everything that I'm doing. I'm recognized by those in authority. Slander from Eisau-Edom and his misojudaic Hitlerian racists and his Christian and sodomist peers means zip. By contrast, they can find no quotations or evidence to justify his irresponsible slanders and impugnings, spouting misojudaic hate-mongering and fabricating straw men to attack, making the same repetitive false charges -- baselessly -- time after time trying to avoid the obvious problem he has: being a misojudaic Iron Curtain-mentality immigrant in Petah Tikvah attacking Orthodox Jews because he adopts Hitler's racist definition of Jews being a race. He won't crawl out from under his rock and identify himself like a man because he knows that Israeli law would put him away for slander. My identity, by contrast, is no secret and the evidence behind my statements is open enabling all who are responsible enough to check actual facts to do so.

64. No One Stopped fm Being a Jew Because Father Wasn't 3rd Try
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.09.07)
Eli: if a person is determined to follow Torah then he or she can convert like anyone else defined by Halakhah as a non-Jew. If they feel they're too "special" to convert according to Halakhah that's called racism -- and we know the greatest advocates of the race card definition. Jews are defined by the ברית (berit), i.e. Halakhah; not, le-havdil, Hitlerian misojudaic (Torah-rejecting) racists, whom Torah calls Eisau / Edom. Remember that Eisau had a Jewish mother as well as a Jewish father -- but was excluded from Israel because he rejected Torah (the berit). That paradigm still holds with Biblical authority, which exceeds rabbinic authority (Devarim 13.1).

65. Infiltrators - Israel will do nothing
YSgt ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
Another news story and the Israeli government will do absolutely nothing about the phenomena. Like the saying goes: the enemy is within. Have a nice new year.
66. To 49 Phoenix, etc.
Saul ,   Barcelona   (09.09.07)
Jewish chauvinism is not any prettier than any other type.
67. brought to you by the Jewish Agency!!!
Rick ,   Sharon, CT   (09.09.07)
that's right. the Jewish Agency did not care one bit who they put on planes out of Russia. any piece of garbage to fill the planes. this is the inevitable result.
68. Don't deport them - put them in a Jewish jail!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (09.09.07)
There they can salute the warders in a Jewish prison and the Jewish prisoners can "assist" in finding out what happens when you attack Jews or minorities. Then Justice will be done and be seen to be done!
69. Vitaly
charles ,   petach tikva   (09.09.07)
I'm not a lawyer , but as far as is known to me , you can't introduce laws who work retroactively . It was done once here , a special law that permitted eichmann to be judged . Those guys received the Israeli citizenship legally . I they received it in a illegal way , by lying on their ancestry , there should not be a problem to deport them . But now , i think this will be difficult , sad to say .
70. Well said M Martin
chaiya ,   ramat-gan   (09.09.07)
That was a facinating story M Martin and it shows a terrible gap in our education system. I also agree with a point put forward by Moshe Feiglin in his Manhigut Yehudit site. His point is that "Israeliness" has replaced just being Jewish as a key definition of this country and that leads to all the stupid laws bringing nth generation non Jews here, ignoring Arab stabbings etc.. Why can't they bring here those Ethiopean Jews who WANT to convert to Judaism instead of non Jewish Russians who feel nothing for the country.
71. #67Not only from Russia!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (09.09.07)
Israel has brought goyim from all over lately!I just don't know what is going on! Religious and not religious politicians should seat side by side and resolv this ENOURMOUS problem. Israel is a very nice country and must keep being so more and more,much and much. It must be treated as the Jewel that it is! Israel must care itself more,even more!Must care itself with introspection and thoughtfulness.Lo stam!
72. even israelis are anti semits
hilarious   (09.09.07)
Instead of pointing fingers to others country and labelling them as anti semits, you should rather worry about your own country.
73. Rammstein not Fascist
Ann ,   Pennsylvania, USA   (09.09.07)
It needs to be said, once again, that while accused, Rammstein are not and have never had fascist sympathies. But in light of the recent bomb threat to Ramstein Air Force base and the fact that the two names (one with one "m" and one with two, and if I recall correctly, the graffito WAS spelled with one "m") are always being mixed up, isn't it possible that this cell had some connection to that cell in Germany?
74. Yad Vashem
Marian ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
I believe that sedning them to deal with who they believe they hate so much and work at Yad Vashem would indeed make a difference. I have not seen one person who could walk in there and not be touched! Yad Vashem is not a holy place and cannot be defiled by anyone - it is the place where we remember and never forget - let's be smarter than those who hate us and teach them history in a way they cannot deny it anymore. For once let's be smarter than them and not hate as they do - especially in our own Land we should be an example and not be pulled down to the same low level as they. Just a thought for all the ones who scream bloody murdere and want to deport them - maybe think for a change and try and make a difference? If they are here illegaly then deport them, but let's try and make a difference first?
75. To Saul from Barcelona #66
Phoenix ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
We have the right to defend us from our enemies. All the right to whatever is necesary. who are you to question this? This people were brought here without belonging to our people. They proved to be a mere parasite among us. We do not have to stand this.
76. To the # 72 the Hilarious guy!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
I just want to remark to you that this garbage are not real israelies. But infiltrators that are not semites and not jews. There are many of this russian antisemitic infiltrators wich absolutly do not belong to our people. You are talking stupidly.
77. #61 Vitali - An oath of loyalty means nothing
Daniel   (09.09.07)
Thousands of West-hating immigrants arrive in the US and Canada each year and eventually become citizens. They swear loyalty to their new country, but they do not mean it. Being a citizen means having full rights. That's all. I'm a Canadian immigrant and I swore allegiance to the Queen of England. I did not mean it. My loyalties are with Canada, but the loyalty oath included our Head of State, the Queen. What could I do? I pledged loyalty to Elizabeth II. Now, my motives were pure. But those Israel-hating immigrants would have no compunction about swearing an oath of loyalty to Israel believing that the end justifies the means, and then they would turn on the Jews. There's no harm in making them swear allegiance as long as there are long jail terms for those who violate their oath. But the oath in itself guarantees nothing.
78. #26 Martin - You are making assumptions
Daniel   (09.09.07)
You say those punk kids spoke without an accent. That does not mean they were Jewish. Anyone who is born and raised in Israel speaks without a foreign accent. They were probably of Russian Christian origin. Not that Jews never have a racist thought in their heads, but they are not likely to go out there and shout "white power" in someone's face. I imagine you have told this story many times in your life, and without ANY EVIDENCE, you have been telling the world how racist those Israeli Jews are.... That's called prejudice, Martin. To judge before having the evidence.
79. #37 Moriah
Daniel ,   Canada   (09.09.07)
I agree with you. I'm concerned about the numbers of non-Jews that the Jewish Agency is bringing in. Where are they coming from this time, can you tell us?
80. nazi youth
elliot ,   usa   (09.09.07)
Is the State impotent to defend itself from rot and decay here as well-a test of Israel's will! Next thing you'll hear is how these vermin are 'victims' too!
81. IS THAT VIDEO FAKE
USA ,   USA   (09.09.07)
it sure looks it- I mean how did you GET it? and why would anyone video themselves doing that.? and it looks like ACTING... is the jewish state trying to raise hystericalness so they can keep up with their jew only racists policies? LOL.
82. Rick 67: Gov't Cared Absolutely Who They Brought (4th try)
Paqid 16 Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.09.07)
It was a deliberate infusion of radical leftist-secular misojudaics (haters of Judaism / Torah), who have always been at the controls of the Israeli gov't, to prop up their secular misojudaic "secular Zionism"; ostensibly to obtain enough secular votes to ignore the religious parties and ensure a secular democracy. Such a racist (genealogical) definition of Jews was and is racism and I don't see how anyone can be surprised when Arabs and other Muslims identify it as racism; nor how anyone can be surprised when the product rears its ugly head like this. True, it's no better when an Ashkenazi Ultra-Orthodox considers a non-Ashkenazi relative a "stain" on their genealogy. There are a lot of fine and honorable Ashkenazim but racism is racism, from whomever it emanates, and we know their champion out of Europe and "Europolatry." So I don't hesitate to criticize Ultra-Orthodox racism any more than radical secular misojudaic racism. Slander, impugning and attacks on Orthodox Jews has been issuing from the radical misojudaic secular left since the 1940s when they took away the Torah scrolls and babies from the Yemenite Jews and forcibly shaved off their peiyot and beards. You don't see the gov't courting Orthodox Jews do you (by opposing sale of pork, opposing sodomists, requiring all restaurants to be kasheir; making Israel a place in which true -- rabbinic-Halakhic Orthodox -- Jews are truly home); only slander and loathing. It takes private initiatives to bring Orthodox Jews. The evidence is one-sided and overwhelming. True, too, Orthodox Jews must come to grips with modernity. Formal logic can take care of that. Secularism is not the answer it is the problem, the cause of the downward spiral of ethics, morality, honor and love for ha-Sheim and His Torah.

83. In Haifa Jews are Descriminating Against Orthodox
sgt ys ,   Israel   (09.09.07)
Disrupting lessons, prayers - spray painting anti-semitic curses against Breslov - so I mean what's the big hoopla over this neo-nazi story when the real story is brewing in hearts of Israeli Jews against religious Jews. Same thing - just one follows Hitler (spit) and the other follows Socialism.
84. is quite "normal" in the USA !!!!!!!!
(09.09.07)
85. Israeli Street Justice will execute them
Dead men walking   (09.09.07)
Only a matter of time. Until then, they are dead men walking
86. Funny how they act like this is a first in Israel
Jon S. ,   Denver, US   (09.09.07)
I think it is funny how the media and government is acting like this is some utterly unique singular event. Remember a few years ago when the "White Israeli Union" neo-Nazi group had its website taken down? With all the video of the neo-Nazis - in their full IDF uniforms - talking about how to kill the Arabs for practice and how not to act like a "zhid" (Jew, in Russian).? Or then their were the skinhead gangs stormtrooping through Tel Aviv a few years ago too. Anyone who follows the "The Israeli Information and Assistance Center for the Victims of Anti-Semitism" (http://pogrom.org.il/) which monitors neo-Nazis in Israel regularly knows this most recent event isn't particularly unique. The problem is that the government and police "turn a blind eye" to Israeli neo-Nazis which gives them freedom to expand. Rest assured this cell isn't all of them.
87. # 83 sgt ys
charles ,   petach tikva   (09.09.07)
and charidi people don't insult seculars and others maybe ? Seculars are only good for them when they come schnorren .
88. BUT YOU LOVE ARCADI GAYDAMAK ??? YOUR GOD IS MONEY
(09.09.07)
89. Law of Return
Dina ,   Los Angeles   (09.09.07)
Israel should have been stricter on the "Law of Return", Jewish Mothers =Jewish kids,,, there is an entire genereation of Russian non-Jewish children in israel with no sense of Jewish Pride, Zionism and allegiance. Sent them to Gaza!
90. i can't believe that !
Yoni Brigante ,   Italy   (09.09.07)
this is like a nightmare,how they can do it,how they can hate their country and their culture ? I hope that it is only a circumscribed episode.
