You are right: the religion is different but the spirit is the same. Not the Spirit of God.
32. Thugs
Yisraeli   (08.15.08)
Of course this has nothing to do with Judaism let alone condoned by it, that should be clear to everyone except those who are biased for their hate of religeous Jews no matter what the reason. I will offer a view that may be unfounded for I dont know those charged. The name Elhanan Buzaglo suggests to me a slight possibility for the following. There are in Israel those who have led totally secular lives combined with criminal activity, drugs, gangs etc. Often when they find themselves in jails they "discover" religion and become religeous. Not all approach it with true intentions and just use it as a vessel for their own personal benefit. Either way, you will have elements wearing religeous garb who are far from religeous in their hearts or will make up their own laws the way they see it combined with their violent past. I wouldnt be suprised if the above incident has these traits. Of course I could be totally wrong and as I said just a supposition by me.

Chaim   (08.15.08)
Right, she made up the whole story for something to do. Or better yet, she just hates religious people and therefore invented an assault incident and bribed the police to arrest some innocent good Torah-Jews in order to satisfy her thirst for the suffering of religious men. Honestly, how far do you people plan to go to justify and belittle the crimes committed by religious men? We don't belittle the crimes committed by rapists and thugs in secular society, why do you? What is this ridiculous victim mentality?
34. Burning Sifrie Toras
David ,   USA   (08.15.08)
All you Chareidi bashers, its like you actually cant wait for a new story (always exagerated by YNET) so you can bash the them to no end, call them all degrading names. Tell me, where is the story of the secular youths who no less broke into a synogoge in Benei Barak, and burned five Sifrie Toras, YES BURNED !!! our holy Torah Scrolls. Of course, YNET felt that this was not news whorty, I can imagine why. The last time that happened, was in Nazi Germany. And G-D forbid that we will even raise the question, were is the secular education, taking our youths today.
35. Would they have beaten a man? Cowards (end)

I'm suprised you and your ilk have not claimed that this was a 'Pallywood' production!
37. To Ultra-Orthodox Men. Taught To See Each Female.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.15.08)
Quote :"woman was cruelly beaten and threatened with death". The male population SHOULD be taught to see each female, except his own wife, as his mother. Mothers, even prostitutes, are NOT to be beaten or killed. WHY NOT ? Because they are mothers. To see every female, except one's wife, as one's mother -- that kind of society is considered to be a HIGH-CLASS society ; that kind of society is considered to be a VERY ADVANCED society. A society that assaults its mothers, a society that threatens its mothers, a society that is cruel to its mothers, a society that kills its mothers -- is a LOW-CLASS society. BTW to beat your mother is NOT a courageous act, it is NOT a praiseworthy act. To be famous as a mother-beater is NOT a prestigious quality. Advice to the Ultra-Orthodox men : you want to fight, fight with men. Why degrade yourself by assaulting mothers ? BTW the general rule is that mothers, children, and elderly men are NOT to be beaten. What to speak of killing -- that is out of the question !!!
38. #11 and the rest
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (08.15.08)
First of all let's calm down. You have a bunch of thugs dressed up as religious with twisted minds who should be given the maximum punishment. Regarding your Mr. Marx. Tell me, in the 20th century, the most bloody in history, who was responsible for the death of 100 million people; religious movements or secular movements. Hitler and Stalin killed more people than all religious persecutions put together. So let's leave the name calling and the hysterics and deal with the problem at hand. If drug dealers had broken into this poor woman's apartment and beat her there would not be a single letter here. These guys having a black hat and coat invite all manner of response.
39. Ultras need alteration
Daniel ,   Israel   (08.15.08)
Stop them by law. It is crime to get in to some ones apartment and beat the person. Is this Jewish 'al-Queida'? If it is, stop it by force or this country will be replica of Afghanistan.
40. These are not G-D loving Jews, but freaks who need Torah.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.15.08)
41. Retread Article
David ,   Jerusalem   (08.15.08)
This is an updated version of an article printed last week. But yet, instead of presenting it as new information on an old story, YNET presents it as an entirely new story, giving the impression that "it has happened yet again." This kind of left-handed journalism is why people no longer trust journalists. This article should have been presented as "charges filled in X case" with new information presented. This is just a lack of integrity.
42. 3 - hahahahahahaha
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.15.08)
you said "We are commanded to love every Jew(and every human being actually) as we love ourselves." hahahahahahahaha! are you serious? are you going to start practicing what you piously preach now? you going to be nice to non-jews in our country? ha! i'll believe it when i see it.
43. #42 Loving every human being does not mean being idiot
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (08.15.08)
If non Jews behave as human beings in my country and don't want to take may place and my land,I love them.Otherwise,I keep showing them the way,even if the way is to the door out.Understand? Our concept of loving every human being is a bit different of yours,goyim.If you didn't understand yet,you will,hopefully soon.
44. 43 that's not what you wrote
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.15.08)
then you should have said that you are commanded to love others under certain conditions. and your "concept of love", by the way, is not "love" by any stretch of the definition. you are right: our concept of love, unconditional love, is much different that yours.
45. #26 Wow! Way to go buddy! That was a perfect display of
lights on & nobody's ,   home @ your house!!!   (08.15.08)
46. Mike, you are confused...
moriah ,   sacramento,USA   (08.24.08)
Torah doesn't require us to love our neighbor when he is cruel and despicable. Or to love our neighbor as ourselves when we he raises a hand to harm or kill us-- that is a Xtian concept, are you a Xtian?
47. Harassment
Barbara Godding ,   Bristol Ri USA   (02.07.09)
I like them to try in the US because they will probaly get their butts kicked by the police
48. Beating
Barbara ,   Bristol USA   (02.13.09)
