instead of redieigning the national flag they should be sending these ultra orthadox draft dodgers to the army to protect the country from such acts in the first place.

wish they'd print bumper-stickers...

The Professor speaks the truth which is extremely Fantasy is the unreality of choice. The majority are under a cloud of lies and delusion as the pied piper's lead them to holocause episode 2 Under the fake peace final solution to exterminate Israel with the help of a friend Israel is easliy led to her destruction because they have forgotten Hashem and bow to their god of no peace, George.

Nothing, nothing at all. They both have no respect for anyone or anything.

hesder yeshiva, u putz. nuff said

What is it with the jewish people. There is a time to celebrate and a time to demonstrate! Why is it we cant celebrate indepence day like any normal nation! Please this enough leave the flag alone! I dont want the world to think of the nation i am so proud of as a broken shell

commemorating the expulsion of 10,000 Jews from their Jewish homes, is VERY appropriate. Very soon, the blue stripes will also have to be changed - if G-d forbid Olmert will be here much longer – for Zionist Israel will be completely taken over by our Arab enemies - "for the sake of ‘pieces’".

WHY AFTER SO MANY ATTACKS AND DEATHS WOULD ISRAEL EVEN CONSIDER THE NOTION OF CEDING MORE LAND TO THE PALS? INSANITY, WHETHER OR NOT IT IS BEING PRESENTED BY AMERICA. JUST TELL BUSH AND RICE TO BUZZ OFF. THEY'LL SOON BE JUST A BAD MEMORY OF A BAD DREAM.

Israel has nothing to celebrate facing the abyss of her own creation. Please make 100's of thousands of them and spread them around the country even now before the day. Thats the flag I would be waving, not out of pride but from scorn with what our leaders are doing to our country. All they want is a prize for themselves from foreigners no matter the cost and country be damned. Any jew caring about Israel knows he has nothing to celebrate for the 60th anniversary not with the dark cloud hanging over our heads.

It's somewhat disheartening for me to see on our nation's flag a picture of (yet another) Jewish destruction. I think we may want to rethink this one and consider how we would like to represent ourselves: are we Jews who have suffered and continue to suffer, hanging on to the suffering, showing the world how much we hurt? Or are we Jews who take pride in our nation and religion, and refuse to pity ourselves no matter what? Do we stand up, despite the wounds, or do we remember the wounds, but retain our sense of strength and agility? For me it's not a difficult decision to make.

our next flag will feature a crescent and an AK47. Olmert. Out. Now.

Yes, let's divide the country so that the Arabs can rule. For goodness sake, we all think that certain Government decisions stink but our little country, in the face of enormous odds, has survived for 60 years. But no! We can't celebrate it because 8,000 zealots had to leave their life of luxury in Gush Katif and have to eke out a living like those of us in the rest of the country! A bloody disgrace and again playing into the hands of the real enemy. Olmert has many faults but he is not launching rockets of Sderot! Stop you bloody petty rightwing nonsense! You want to protest then protest about the food prices, the plight of the Holocaust Survivors, the situation of the sick, the handicapped and the aged whose lives Bibi Netanyahu made into a nightmare and protest about the real things like the lack of law enforcement, the drugs, the crime and so on. Stop thinking just about yourselves and your Gush Katif which Begin didn’t want and Carter forced upon us and the illegal settlements of two or three people on the West Bank.

The one with two blue stripes on a white background with a Star of David in the center. The one that was first exhibited in 1885 in Rishon-LeZion. And no mentally deranged professor, who wished death on a young soldier, is going to tell me what flag I should fly. There IS ONLY ONE flag for Israel! He can go crawl into the nearest black hole and wait until the yom ha'atzmaut celebrations are over. Feh!

#1 U are an Idiot the boys were under army age except for one who was 26. Reciprical arrangemnet if all non religious must spend 6 months in a Yeshiva learning the basics of being Jewish then I will agree that all Religious do at least minimal army service but the army has to actually facilitate religious boys to spend time for Tefillah each day. I am finding the secular extremely intolerant of others chose to observe Jewish law. Goyim have more respect for others chooses to be observant.

keep the war against Israel burning into eternity? whoever thought of this thing are idiots... pure and simple.

Its seems that during the withdrawl you failed to get the support of the Israeli public which isnt really surprissing is it ,seing as you hate those very people yet you expect support from, yet you dont mind sending secular people to reserve army duty to protect the fantatics. Sorry luvey but you wanted war you got it. We will destroy you from within.

Your education seems to have stopped at around 2nd grade, where calling others idiots was shown to be unacceptable behavior. It's no small wonder, then, that you missed 5th grade civics, where rights and responsibilities were distinguished. You have a right to be religious, and a responsibility to serve in the army. Not the other way around. So what WERE you doing while the rest of us were in primary school?!

Send the army to yeshiva as it is the G-d of Israel, Hashem, that protects us, THROUGH the army. Besides, the IDF today, after its numerous crimes perpetrated against Jews, cannot be considered a Jewish army.

Every time you gift us with your words, Andras, we all get a little bit dumber. Exhibit A: "Send the army to yeshiva as it is the G-d of Israel, Hashem, that protects us, THROUGH the army. Besides, the IDF today, after its numerous crimes perpetrated against Jews, cannot be considered a Jewish army." So, the IDF is not a Jewish army, but should be sent to yeshiva?! As a whole, or some at a time?! Should atheist and Muslim soldiers go, too?!And will Hashem protect your bigoted self while all these people are buried in the Talmud?!! Why don't we do an experiment, to see if your understanding holds any water? You go to Gaza, and see if Hashem protects you from the people that our apparently non-Jewish army are actually harming! Until then, keep your illogical whining to yourself. 10,000 settlers shouldn't have been there in the first place. You can bury yourself in Talmud anywhere on earth to await the Mashiach, go do it on your own land, and stop asking the rest of us to put our lives and our morality on the line.

Just for your knowledge, 40% of the high graded officers in the israeli army are religious people. These yechiva boys, which are not ultraorthodox, will all go to the army when they will reach the ageand many of them will become high graded.

national religious jews are just that, zionist. they have served in combat units of the army in far greater proprtion that any segment of the population. how can you live in tel aviv and be so absolutely ignorant of israel?

You said it all! They only think about themselves!

Nothing to celebrate while missiles are reigning down on us. We currently are being threatened on all borders. Whats there to celebrate? While the rightist morons celebrate giving our country away, i for one will be comismerating what we have lost. Lets get our current situation right before celebrating the past! First step. Elections NOW!

PLEASE!!!!!!! For G-d sake, are we self imploding as a people? Have we really gotten to the point where we change the flag of Israel and the Jewish people to that of a broken Star of Daveed? This is the symbol has always been one of PRIDE and STRENGTH not one of a broken people. Adopt this new flag that shows us as a weak and broken people we will have proven that our enemies have won. This only emboldens all of our enemies and legitimizes them. Don't do this!!!! Rid the State of Israel of Omert and his weak and pitiful government and replace them with people that will show our enemies what happens when they go up against the Jewish people. We have survived the worst atrocities and attempts to wipe us from the earth. We are survivors and we will triumph again but we cannot survive if we self destruct. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. NEVER AGAIN !!!! AM YISRAEL CHAI !!!!!!!

some people think that ethnic cleansing of jews will bring peace ????
