1. Yuli Tamir
ethan solal ,   montreal canada   (03.09.08)
She's one of the religious hater in this governement of crooks. Baah, for all I care : Ynet is never publishing my comments. Jpost site never censored me.
2. Cry baby
Eli ,   Beer Sheva   (03.09.08)
All the lefties know how to do when criticized is invoke the "holy" name of Rabin. They will never own up to their own failings or take the blame for what they have done. The just scream "boo hoo waaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaa they are inciting like they did before the Rabin Assassination". Rabin's murder still has not been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was that nutcase Yigal Amir who did it. All this drivel about incitement from the right is such horse manure. Perfidious Cowards admit that you have failed our country, admit that your self serving interests have caused countless Jewish deaths. Open your eyes to the truth accept the blame that you deserve and change your ways and help our country
3. Why
David ,   Maryland   (03.09.08)
My condolences to the victims and may their families be comforted. But I don't understand why the people outside call Yuli Tamir a murderer. I am no fan of hers but can someone clarify this for me - I am against her politics but why call her a murderer. Todah Raba
4. where are all the "freedom of speech" leftiest that SUPPORT
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (03.09.08)
the "right" of Arab MKs to encourage Fatach, Hizbollah and Syria in their attacks against Israel. Also, I note that in the early 1980s the LEFT rallied against the Lebanon war calling Sharon a "murderer." So a question to the left - are you in favor of "freedom of speech" or against?? MAKE UP YOUR MIND
5. RESPECT
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.09.08)
It is funny how our selfloathing herzelists use words that they have no clue about what they mean. Just looking at a failed secular school system Tamir is a real piece of work, who loves to hate the religious schools, who keep on growing despite that. While the left with Ynet in the lead constantly incites against the jewish population, they keep on whining about their holy martyr Rabin. There is no way these people have any ability to do some inner soul searching,only childish finger pointing at the things they are most guilty of. Thanks Ynet for you consistent censhorship.
6. This reminded me of the period before Rabin's murder
(03.09.08)
does she mean when the government was honoring terrorists and rewarding murder? she is not to far off
7. David in Maryland
Simcha ,   Jerusalem   (03.09.08)
She is part of the government whose policies lead directly to the attacks. She is part of the government which is giving them guns and training. The US government is also to blame. Condi could as easily be called a murderer.
8. Why? Because....
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (03.09.08)
Worse than any physical terror attack, Tamir has been consistently attacking the soul of the Jewish people for years, actively seeking to sever the youth of Israel, our future, from the basic values of Torah and Zionism. Worse than any personal sin one might commt is the sin of leading others astray from the path of righteousness. She is unfit to hold any office, but she is particularly a blight upon the education of Israeli youth. The sin is not hers alone, though; it is upon all the citizens of Israel who allow her to stay in power in the evil Olmert regime. G-d forbid that anyone should physically attack her, but she deserves all the verbal abuse - and to be run out of office as soon as possible!
9. re: Why
yehudit ,   modiin   (03.09.08)
This is because Yuli tamir is part of the problem. Because her political party vilify "settlers" - constantly. She reduces funding to the schools, making costs prohibitive, teachers earn less- making their families suffer... the list goes on and on. She should be too ashamed to enter the halls of the very Torah scholars that pray for her safety- and the safety of the gov't she represents. She takes Yesha out of official school maps, intimating that the settlers are expendable. She and the rest of her bullies sent the message that the religious youth are negotiable. By negotiating J'lm and Yesha away, the Amona debacle and the 2005 disaster of Gaza- they are telling Arabs we don't care about "these types" of Jews. These are kids in pain. People in pain say many, many things. We can't hold them responsible for their words in the depth of grief. Yuli Tamir should have kept the incident to herself- after all, she still vilifies these poor people. She could have stayed silent, but again she shows that these Jews are not worth it... right? She chooses the low road. That's why. Ynet- will u really print this unedited?
10. An Education Minister?
Asher ,   Yerushalim   (03.09.08)
What was she doing there? Why did she go? Did she leave the little brains she has at home? A MK that does everything in her power to destroy Judaism. Why did you show your face? Your presence is incitement!
11. Tamir has been consistently attacking the soul of the Jewish
Charles   (03.09.08)
true !!!!!!!!!
12. Verbally attacked - oh boo hoo hoo
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (03.09.08)
So she was yelled at and called names--big freaking deal. Jews are DEAD because of policies which she introduced.
13. They spoke Emett
Chana ,   Toronto, Ontario   (03.09.08)
This government is weak and caves into the desires of the US & others, knowing that innocent Jews are going to be killed. Are they not traitors? How has giving land for peace ever brought peace? It has increased violence.It never will. Every capitulation is a sign of our weakness.The land of Israel is Kodesh & belongs to Jews. It is an inheritence that we have from the time of Avraham Aveinu. Would Pres Bush allow bombs to fall on his country? Could we insist that the US make peace? We have to be strong!
14. To #3-Perhaps a brief review would help
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (03.09.08)
The current administration has allowed this sort of terrorism not only to continue but to thrive. Firstly, let me state that I am not religious but a secular Israeli. That said, ALL Israelis deserve the protection of the Security Forces. Yuli Tamir has been in the forefront of the attacks on the religious Jews, calling all actions to protect them, as well as others, an overreaction. Her Rabin-esque overtures are simply the usual rhetoric of the defeatists claiming without surrender, there can be no future. Our condolences go to all victims of arab terror, but our contempt go to "leaders" like tamir that allow that same terror to grow and go unheeded. As long as her ilk - her, olmert,the arab "MKs"-continue in government, our future will include the continued burying of our young! I hope that answers your inquiry!
15. You flatter yourself, as a Rabinette
Gideon Reader   (03.09.08)
No, no Motek, You are by definition a leftist of the lowest order, and therefore personally incapable of "paying respects" to anyone or anything, anywhere. Your scuzzy and unsought apearance at the Yishiva is salt in the wounds and an afront to those who attend. You are fortunate you did not start that nifty rock collection you thought about as a little child leftist. And for lifeforms such as you, there is no such circumstance where politics do not play the pre emminent part of the equation. Now back to your ill served post where you can think of ways to bugger up the education system with your skewed visions of the workers paradise.
16. this government should be put on trial for high treason
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn n.y   (03.09.08)
in any other normal country,this traitorous,criminaly insane government,would have been deposed,and put on trial for high treason,and if found guilty,would be hanging by their necks,or marched in fron of a firing squad
17. Jews who call Minister Tamir a murderer are in danger of
Rivkah   (03.09.08)
judgment since there is no power or authority except of God and the powers that be are ordained by God, the Bible says. They should apologize to the minister who has an almost impossible job and ask forgiveness from God.
18. un-indicted co-conspiritor
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (03.09.08)
as education minister she should have spoken out very strongly re: the palestinian curriculum of hatred but she remains silent so she too is part of the problem
19. #17 Oh really, then why is Pinchas so praised?!?
(03.09.08)
He did what we MUST do. And who are you to say anything you are a goy not a ger not a Jew but a messianic bingo.
20. she criticised religious education? what a murderer
Eitan ,   Israel   (03.09.08)
So Beilin writes an article saying be careful about histeria and hatred that can come as a reaction from this yeshiva tragedy, and he gets 100% negative hating comments. Then a few days later the yeshiva people scream murderer at the education minister, and they get 100% approval here... and you guys complain that y-net is leftist and doesn't publish rightist comments! If you think she deserves it, that she is a murderer and should be treated as a murderer, at least agree with beilin: yes we will be histerical and angry, you were right. You can't have it both ways, it's like the Mohammad cartoon bashers that say: no, it's not true, muslims are not violent, shut up or we will kill you.
21. Rabin this.. Rabin that..
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (03.09.08)
Stop invoking rabin every time you get pissed off.. your the ones who are trampling the guy's memory..
22. Murderer no. ACCESSORY TO MURDER yes
Sergio ,   Israel   (03.09.08)
23. Jew v. Jew, A Disgrace
guy ,   los angeles   (03.09.08)
The horrible slaughter of innocent Jews does not justify the behavior of certain students in abusing Min. Tamir-blame our enemies, not her-Blind and irrational hatred ot other Jews helped to destroy Israel many centuries ago...
24. she is murderer only if the
observer   (03.09.08)
Education Ministry is censoring the curriculum in yeshivas. Let them continue with their hundreds of verses on revenge; hate eats hate.
25. roscio
(03.09.08)
right on
26. Ironic
Talmid ehad   (03.09.08)
How sad and ironic to hear such praise from Olmert, who does everything possible to undermine almost everything Mercaz Harav stands for.
27. What they shouted to tamir or to st.yitzhak
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.09.08)
was the truth. They are murdering us and the supporters of oslo and of kadima/labor/sh-ass are murders. They are cowards that refuse to fight back. They refuse to kill thousands of palis till the terror ceases!
28. 12# Kyle GOOD o see you again
gabriela ben ari ,   jeusalem   (03.09.08)
29. Let it go
Phil ,   US   (03.09.08)
Tamir should have taken the high road and not commented. Those who call her a murderer were obviously distraught at the slaughter of so many Yeshiva students and were acting out of pain. Whatever the reasons for their disgreements with the Education ministry does not make her a murderer. In retrospect, the abandonment of Gaza was a terrible mistake. Making a mistake does not make one a murderer. What galls most people in Israel is the government's refusal to apologize for their mistake and its refusal to help the people of Sderot.
30. No link to Rabin, she's not that important !
YOEL ,   ישראל   (03.09.08)
She's a religious hater, and she gets only some feedback from her hatred. As a Ole Hadash, I personnally would have recieved her in the same way if she went to visit my Ulpan. She's not a good person ,and she got what she deserves. I think she gets more insults in the Knesset, and she doesn't complain that much. Don't forget she's a politician and I don't think she's that much sensitive. Then, don't forget students feel pain, and they don't trust compassion can come from ennemies. Her visit was nothing else than provocation.
