31. REAL ANTISEMITISM
shrinkDave ,   Miami USA   (08.26.08)
If you have difficulty understanding the real roots of antisemitism, this article gives you a hint. When you are so sure that you know the right way, and feel disgust for others that do things differently, you behave in such a way that others begin to hate you, in the same way that you hate them. Hate, and here, antisemtism are born. Mazel tov to all the black hatted reasons for our suffering.
32. Simon you idiot! it has nothing to do with religious values!
dovid ,   amsterdam   (08.26.08)
I garuntee you that religious values are far superior to those of you and your fellow homosexuals.it is the way these fanatics interpret the religion thats makes it look bad. I think their actions are dispicable but i have nothing against the "religion" on the contrary it is by far the most beautiful thing on this planet. by the way yes they sinned greatly by their actions, but buddy...you are sinning as well with your immoral behavior. so just keep your mouth shut.
33. I wonder if...
R ,   Jerusalem   (08.26.08)
... the Talkbackers didn't read this part in the article. That being, the hareidi community does not condone this behaviour. "However, a source in the Orthodox Court of Justice told Ynet that the haredi public "opposes the attacks on the store and is against the riots carried out by the extremists." Advertisement According to him, the Jewish extremists are looking to "ban films altogether so everyone will study Torah, but some community members want to listen to a song or watch a movie. The extremists do not understand this." The source further claimed that the extremists' actions are undermining the Orthodox rabbis' authority."
34. What Should Be?
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (08.26.08)
Obviously, when a group, ANY group, forms vigilante squads the legally instituted government has the obligation to terminate such activity and bring those responsible to justice. Israel's problem is based on the origin of it's governmental form: the British. Unfortunately, the system has permitted the formation of religious parties. Israel itself is a Jewish state, however, that should not be confused with religious parties that function like the Taliban, only lacking (for now) firearms. Their behavior is no different, and religious parties need to be outlawed, not given power over people who believe differently from them. Israel should decide what it's future is to be: A modern democracy with a Secular Jewish government, or a Theocracy, with the Ayatollah-like Ultra-Orthodox making life hell on earth for normal citizens.

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.26.08)
What Simon is doing is maybe sinning [ for you ! ] but he does not harm anybody , insults anybody , does'nt damage other's property . That's a great difference , not ?
36. Dave Are you Suffering in Miami?
Thomas   (08.26.08)
And here I thought ignorance was blissful.
37. There has never been
Sagi ,   Israel   (08.26.08)
any doubt in my mind that these black coated bearded wonders were the basic cause of what happened in Europe and in the same way there is no doubt in my mind that they will be the cause of the eventual downfall of Israel. No, I am not an anti semite or a self hating Jew, but rather one who loves our country and our heritage and challenges anyone to explain what these strange people have to do with either.
38. Charles sin
Jo Jo   (08.26.08)
The very fact that Simon lives on holy soil and gloats of his sinful lifestyle is in itslef insulting. He doesn't harm anybody? You may want an AIDS epidemic in Palestine, but I'm not sure anyone else does. He damages his and other peoples property - thier soul. They will get the bill in the afterlife.
39. chastity.
colin   (08.26.08)
The haridim burn dustbans in opposition to the arrest of a member of the chastity rubbish.DEDUCT THE COST OF THE DAMAGE FROMTHE STIPENDS WHICH THEY GET AS PRESENTS. The effect will be outstanding. More riots and more damage to cease more payments of the tax payers hard earned income.
40. The inmates are running the assylum
Fred ,   Highland Park   (08.26.08)
Shame on the Hareidi rabbis who remain silent over this Hillul Hashem. Where are the posters, the declarations, the shiurim to publicly, denounce this behavior and acknowledge assur and will not be tolerated? If the great rabbis of the Hareidi community truly opposes this behavior why do they do nothing? In their fear of the masses, they have become like King Saul who lost his kingship by failing to assert his authority.
41. Send Blackhats to the front!
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (08.26.08)
They allready know how to be terrorists but are too coward to join the army like honorable and disciplined men. Wife beating is another specialty of theirs btw.

Rueben ,   Israel   (08.26.08)
44. #1, Simon from TA the overpriced city
Antonio ,   Haifa   (08.26.08)
Oh, ST Hell U already. The fault is not with the haredim who don't want you in their backyards. It's with the police who doesn't go after the criminals that commit these crimes.
45. Teach Them the Real Way!
Ely ,   Pardes Chana   (08.26.08)
That's is, Religious Zionism! People must have patience with this group because it needs to be taught how to live the life of Torah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
46. Yo Yo's 38 stupidity and ignorance
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.26.08)
His lifestyle insults only people who deserve it . And , ignorant yo yo , we are in ISRAEL , not palestine . Regarding aids , they take precautions . For someone wanting this illness , look at a mirror . How can he damage their soul ? those fanatic anti seculars have'nt any soul , nor belief .
47. King Saul
TVT ,   NL-EHV   (08.26.08)
Wasnt that the one who got the order to destroy the Amelikites? But saved the cattle, and the King of the Amelikites? See, that is where we are now, with a multiple headed demon.....but fear of NOT taking stand or wiping that evil out, would be as foolish as pacifism. Shalom!
48. #38 - You pig.

Simon ,   TA the free city   (08.27.08)
Geee thanks for the advise from sin city Amsterdam, are you ok ? i mean your living in the gay capital of Europe - ummm how strange. Why do`nt you move to Afghanistan where you will be with your own kind. So i am a sinner am i? Yes buddy i`m gay! shock horror, So what! Get a life you pathetic individual and stop judging and slandering others in the name of religion. A religion BTW whose rules i do not live by or accept or believe in. And please try to spell your name correctly Dovid? i guess its confusing for you right?

57. #38 Jo Jo please a bit of intelligence would be nice
Simon ,   TA the free city   (08.27.08)
Oh really i have aids do i? I see, so every gay guy has aids right? Your ignorance and lack of the slightest bit of intelligence is what is causing aids in the first place. Will you be telling your children that Aids is a gay disease? and as long as they are heterosexuals they are ok? Maybe you would like to explain to us all why 24.5 million have aids in Africa, are they all gay as well. Or does this God of yours wish to kill all the black people to, are they sinners to? I hope you find the help that you obviously need. FYI i have a long term partner of over 10 years and lead a monogamous life. Praise the Lord
