1. prices
colin   (01.09.09)
Finally these burger chains are feeling the heat. The public have stopped being FRIERERS The original idea of fast food has lost its appeal. It is still cheaper to order a swarma or even steak than to go for burgers.
2. Why a Cheese Burger in the photo?
Dan ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
To be honest, I'm not the most religous person in the country. But, why the hell do they need to post a picture of a cheese burger when describing the burger franchises in Israel? Is this the way to appeal to kosher consumers? Come on guys, get your act together.
3. If the restaurants want to sell burgers, get better cooks.
Rivkah   (01.09.09)
I got a fish sandwich at Burger King at Sheba-Chaim Medical Center and it was so overcooked, it was like eating a piece of charcoal. Same with the hamburger. Did not make me want to go to Burger King in Israel for meals. When in Matamoros, Mexico, I ordered a fish sandwich at a Burger King and got a huge piece of fish on the sandwich that made me angry at American Burger Kings for being so stingy. Matamoros' Burger King is the best in the world. It is worth a visit to Mexico to eat there, so you know there is a fast food place that is par excellence.
4. #2 How petty can you get
Talula ,   Israel   (01.09.09)
Glatt kosher keeping people don't eat in McDonalds anyway. And how sad are you to examine a picture of a burger so deeply. Get a life man!
5. #2 Israeli McDs should offer soy cheese!
(01.09.09)
6. How about the same prices like in the U.S.?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (01.09.09)
The same friendly service. And try to make the size of a double whopper in ben gurion airport large enough to see with the naked eye. Do not let the people refill their drink cups like they had in the U.S. a few years ago or the Kinneret will be totally empty in three days. Finally ad root beer to the menu and do not be so stingy with the ketchup!
7. To # 3 , was it this burger that crippled your brains ?

8. when i was living the states before 1993
never again ....   (01.09.09)
i tried a big mac once and almost puked from the ugly taste , and that was that for me , so when mcdonalds opened up in israel a few years back i decided i wanna give it a try since this is israel and the food is fairly good , and surprisengly i liked it , but then the las time i eat at a mcdonalds i noticed a change in the taste to the worst which reminded me of the big mac in the ststes , so i thought i was only imagining the bad taste , i went there a couple of weeks later and the same taste was there , and it was like shit ,, and the only explanation i have is that ,, they where making good stuff just to attract people and when they decided they had a huge clientele , they played with the recepie top the worst and offcourse gradualy so that people wont notice ,, but i did and ithink they mix dog meat with it ...
9. Burger prices
Yosi ,   Sydney   (01.10.09)
Israelis are being ripped off by the burger chains.Compared to Australia you are charged about 50% more than we are .Cost of doing business in Israel is cheaper than in Australia so the Chains are making super profits.When I am in Israel I boycott the Cains because of the prices but also the standard of cleanliness is very middle eastern rather than western.
10. 8 never again: There was an arrest of fast food
Rivkah   (01.10.09)
restaurant employees for felony assault for spitting into a hamburger and giving it to a policeman in America. A girlfriend in Indiana said her son worked at a Taco Bell and saw young employees putting semen into salad dressing and feces into the hamburger mix, thinking that was "funny". It is felony assault. The schools raise children to think in compartments in their mind. They do not have a collective conscience of wrong doing that integrated all parts of their thinking when the Ten Commandments were taught in schools. Young people compartmentalize different aspencts of their life and think it is all right to go to a religion service one day and to steal the next or commit felony assault on customers in restaurants the next. Restaurant owners MUST have video and audio monitoring of employees so convictions can be made more easily. Young people are also taught that the elderly are useless eaters who are robbing the young of tax money pensions in old age and that attacking the elderly is doing the country a service. That attitude is pervasive and neglects all the payments into pension plans for decades the elderly made to get pensions from real work and effort. The young see the elderly with homes and vehicles and the young are jealous and hate them and try to kill them. I stopped going to restaurants except very rarely because I cannot trust the waitresses/waitors and cooks. In Israel and when traveling in America, I buy food at a market rather than at a restaurant. Being poisoned many times that is proven by heavy metals tests of the feces from Doctors Data Inc. in Illinois on prescription has taught me to beware of food I have not personally prepared. I was even poisoned in a Roman Catholic church for wearing a Star of David necklace and going to Saturday mass before I concluded the Christian churches are mostly Mithraism polytheistic idol worship and false doctrine false religions. Messianic based on the Torah is much better. But even churches have murderers and sabateurs in them, not just restaurants.

Rivkah   (01.11.09)
14. WHY WHY WHY
american ,   american   (01.11.09)
DO YOU EAT THERE. EVEN AMERICANS KNOW THAT STUFF IS BAD FOR YOU........ AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE SO OVER WEIGHT, AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN ARE DYING OF HEART ATTACKS AND CANCER. STICK TO YOUR HUMAS,PITA AND SALAD. YOU WILL LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER.
15. #13 ASK YOUR BOSS FOR OVERTIME AND MEDICAL BECAUSE YOU NEED
JEWISH GIRL ,   ISRAEL   (01.11.09)
16. Rivka , a Jewish carpenter employs you ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.11.09)
Listen , you have told us already so much stories . in one of them you told something that makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE for you to be employed somewhere . And for someone working , you have much free time to write your stupidities .
17. # 4 - How petty can you get
Eli ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.11.09)
Talula, It is not just "Glatt kosher" people that don't eat cheese burgers. A large percentage of this country will not eat one. Hence therefore, it is a valid point to question the cheese burger illustration. It's called "knowing and playing to your audience."
18. burger chains drop prices
laura ,   israel   (01.11.09)
Fast food prices in Israel are way off. Last time I was in the U.S. I paid $2.50 for a kiddie meal (it had gone up from $2.00), and here in Israel kiddie meal costs around $7 or a little less. What justifies a price of $7 for that meal, not even big enough for a kid.
19. 16 Churles: Ask Abel Shoni to explain what a
Rivkah   (01.11.09)
Jewish Carpenter is since you do not know.
20. mccrap...
jordan ,   israel   (01.11.09)
that's even crappier in israel. oh, and thanks for the single-ply napkin that i had to ask for and allowing me to stand around waiting for 20 minutes while morons paid for a burger with their credit card.
21. Rebeccaca , try # 3
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.12.09)
I have'nt to ask , know it . I just wanted to tell you some "nice" things . This "boss" love's you so much that he blessed you with rape , abuse , divorce , a CRIPPLED and very small brain , and another BLESSING i will not talk about .
22. 21 Churles: It is the devil who does evil things to people,
(01.13.09)
but you don't know the difference between good and evil, being an atheist. Jews who are Jews in their hearts are not atheists. Sin is the source of sorrow. The sins against me will result in lifelong and then eternal sorrow for the guilty unless they repent and make restitution. I am happier than any person who hates God, especially you.
23. thanks ynet for the cheese burgers
Hamza   (01.13.09)

24. rebeccaca , i know the difference . TRY # 3
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.13.09)
i know the difference between the Good non Jewish ones , Abel Shoni and Jeroen from Belgium , and the EVIL ones , rivkah [ you !!! ] and this paqid . This to name only two of each category . As you are NOT Jewish you can't know a Jewish heart , only tell stupidities about it .
25. 24 Churles: You do not know my geneology after I have
Rivkah   (01.13.09)
told you many times, so perhaps you have had a stroke or cannot remember what you read. Look up the name Gilbert, an ancestral name, in the Oxford Dictionary of Surnames in a library. You will find the Gilberts were Jewish. Some remained so and others converted outwardly to Anglican for reasons unknown to me. You have rejected your Jewish heritage with atheism. I have not.
26. Rivkah , your heritage ? christian !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.13.09)
Tell me , how many generations ago was the latest who was Jewish ? 10 ? 20 ? or only five ? You have NOTHING Jewish , only the name you stole , did'nt even receive this name when you were baptised . And believing in this yeshua is everything but NOT Jewish . Tell me , is there any TRUE orthodox Rabbi who considers you as being Jewish ?
27. Value menu
Robert Goldman ,   KFAR SABA ISRAEL   (01.13.09)
in the states they have the dollar menu, $0.99-$1.50 and you can get very fat on $5.00 whe here you pay $20.00 for a meal. insane, hell it doesn't even taste the same let alone smell the same.. These guys are getting fat off the addiction to fast food, well in the states the only companies claiming a real growth are the ones with true values in their menu, Miky D's and burger king should follow suit as their american counterparts and make the garbage they call food worth the $$$
28. 26 : Messianic is not the same as Christian.
Rivkah   (01.14.09)
You do not know the difference. Most Christians follow a phony sabbath instead of the Shabbat of the Lord. The Bible says God's people are known by their keeping the Shabbat which is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. It is horrifying to think of so many people being turned away from God's kingdom who thought they were in God's family but were not because they were deceived by preachers. But that is their problem, not mine. Just as your atheism is your problem, not mine. My name is spelled many ways in different languages. Rivkah is the spelling of my name in Hebrew, a language you seem to detest since you don't like the Hebrew spelling of my name. That is your problem, too, not mine. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Israel, do as the Israelis do. When people came to America through Ellis Island in New York, their names were often changed to be more Anglicized. Even the Patriarch Abram changed his name to Abraham, but to you who hate all that is biblical, that is an abomination. You are a pathetic creature. Even Abel Shoni has not affected you in a positive way. Did you scare him off from posting? You seem to have scared a lot of people off since so many have quit after your tirades. They have better things to do than to put up with that. Why don't you read the Bible and learn something that is eternally worthwhile?
29. Rivka , evil number three
charles ,   Petaxch Tikva   (01.14.09)
There were other evils who by some authors were , as you claim you are , of Jewish descent . hitler and heydrich , so you are # 3 . You did'nt answer : when was your last ancestot Jewish [ if there was one ] Can you write Hebrew , רבקה ? You once said that the H in your name was related to god , well i don't like your god , nor a CRIPPLED small brain owner , so i don't write the H , if it hurts you , fine . Messianic's are'nt Jewish , for me the same trash as some christian sects .
30. 29: "AH" is the breath of God sound. Why do you
Rivkah   (01.14.09)
ask if you have no interest? Adam became a living soul when the Lord breathed the breath of God into Adam's lungs. Hebrew is the language of he Garden of Eden and can be seen in all languages to some degree because the languages were all from Hebrew and diverged at the Tower of Babel. It is a great grief to me that so many of my relatives and ancestors did not honor a Saturday sabbath since honoring a Saturday Shabbat is a sign the Bible says of true believers. That means I will see few ancestors and relatives back to William the Conqueror in heaven since they adopted pagan Sunday sabbath ways with the Mithraism trinity polytheism. They have treated me so badly for a true faith, they may have well have been atheists like you. They will have/are having a worse judgment than you because they were religious UNbelievers.
