31. Following orders or Halacha
sam ,   USA   (03.24.08)
Those who claimed"following orders" were not human but barbaric
32. Will Meretz support invading Gaza
Mordechai   (03.25.08)
If the IDF is ordered to invade Gaza and obliterate Hamas and its supporters will Meretz oppose any left wing refusal movement. Will they demand soldiers ordered to destroy Arab villages do so without question. Or is refusal only a problem when the IDF is being used against Jews.
33. YNET Misinformation
David ,   Jerusalem   (03.25.08)
The IDF code of ethics states soldiers may refuse orders that are not in accordance with halacha. If the order is not in accordance with halacha it is not legally binding`. The headline should read: "Rabbi tells soldiers to act in accordance with IDF code of ethics - news at 11." Yet again YNET is omitting pertinant details in order to slant the truth, create hatred between Jews, and make the religious look bad.
34. When the Dati Leumi come into power
Debbie ,   Jerusalem   (04.01.08)
It's just a matter of time. The Dati Leumi have 5-15 children while the secular leftists have 2 or 3 and one of their kids inevitably becomes religious. Do the math.
