chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (01.25.09)
reading such ignorant and superstitious nonsense makes me ashamed and embarrased to call myself a chareidi jew. do we realy have to imitate christian and muslim fundemantelists with all their nonsense. i am really embarrased for these esteemed rabbi's,who are making fools of themselves and of our beautifull religion.

Are you so ignorant that you cant even spell your name? You need to keep well out of any sort of debate until you learn some facts
34. to jhon #25
Steve ,   USA   (01.25.09)
Boy you sure drank all the cool aid the Muslims and the liberals served you. Ignorance of true history is the PA's best allay. That land was Jewish for thousands of years before they were dispersed. The archeological proof is undeniable. The Arabs left on their own volition in the 1940’s so the Jews could be slaughtered right after they got their land back but it back fired and the Jews survived. Though they demand the land back, they were nothing more than squatters there anyway. They voted for Hamas because theirs is a culture of death.

40. Demographic Mystery
August Braam   (01.25.09)
In 1939 (just prior to WWII) the world's Jewish population was 16 million (an all time high). The largest populations were located in the U.S., and the deep interior of the Soviet Union. Both locations were protected from the Nazi regime by natural barriers. With regards to the U.S., the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans prevented Nazi access. And the vastness of the Russian terrain, combined with the Russian winter, prevented Germany's access to Soviet Jewish populations. Both the U.S. and Soviet Jewish populations were in these locations as a result of Jews fleeing persecution over the centuries. Further, individual Jews escaping persecution could not have had the foresight to predict WWII. As a Political Scientist, I am confronted with the question as to whether it is reasonable to assert that these demographics occured by chance? I am not Jewish. August Braam, BA, MA, JD, Ph.D(ABD)

48. Very Scary...
Jonathan ,   Vancouver, Canada   (01.26.09)
Wow, am I embarrassed for this poor senile old man... does he realize how foolish he makes his fellow Jews look? What a joke... No wonder Israel is losing the media war...
49. response to August Braam
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.26.09)
I believe your knowledge about Soviet Jews is very limited. During the WWII every healthy man was fighting if not in the army then in the partisan brigades. Others who couldn’t fight because of the health or age worked for the army. There were many Jews who gave their lives on the war line. There were many Jews prosecuted by Stalin before and after the WWII. This information is wildly available in English. You don’t have to be a Political Scientists just type in Google search: “Soviet Jews during WWII” or “Soviet Jews” (for wider selection).
50. I know this is true
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (01.26.09)
I know this tale is true, her sister Leah told me so....
51. "Rachel" can be a symbolic name for Israel.
Rivkah   (01.26.09)
"Rachel" weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they were not...refers to all Israel mourning for the children under two years of age who were slaughtered by King Herod. All angels are male and blonde, so a female appearance would likely be El Shaddai, the feminine aspect of the male Lord. I have seen El Shaddai in the feminine appearance when there was a warning for me as a protection. Michael the Archangel is the guardian angel of Israel that Daniel in the Bible saw, but Michael is definitely male.
52. 44 Reza, Iran: When Hamas uses children to shield itself
Rivkah   (01.26.09)
and hides weapons in mosques and schools and hospitals and on ambulances, children are more likely to die. The good thing about that is that the Lord receives them into the paradise of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to await the resurrection. The children who die are happy, but are terribly missed by those who loved them.
53. ...and in Lebanon she fooled us!

54. Rachel to appear again at election day
elction :-)   (01.26.09)
"Who should I vote for?" - "What do you care who to vote for," she said, and whispered – "SHAS."
55. what do you guys care
nicole ,   tzfat   (01.26.09)
Why does it hurt you guys so much to know there are people who believe this??? Are they harming you buy there beliefs? So much anger and hostility. No matter what anyone says religious or not this lechima was FULL of miracles or are you going to say that the entire fight was staged? every soldier that stayed alive and every missle that fell in a school and davka that school had no kids in it the same day, was staged? ok so you dont believe that rachel imenu came but let those who do believe believe. no one is making mockery and no one wants to be muslim or xtian. all of you just need to build a bridge and get over it this ignorance and hate towards the religious will get all of us no where! more than half of the world hates us and wants us dead, why do we need to feels this same hate towards ourself?!
56. I thought this was the kind of thing that ignorant Xians....
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (01.26.09)
...went in for! Not Jews. We are the People of the Book, remember?
57. to 25: Belfast walls first?
barry ,   tel-aviv   (01.26.09)
John in London: you have your own separation walls in Belfast. Deal with them first.
58. I heard a different story
Mark ,   Maale Adumim   (01.26.09)
The soldiers went to three different houses where the same woman answered the door. We can believe it or not, the Arabs believe in virgins so why can't those who want to believe this was Rachel should be allowed to.
59. 55: and no rockets in Zfat - a miracle !!
barry ,   tel-aviv   (01.26.09)
and I don't believe that was staged.
60. to #52
reza ,   iran   (01.26.09)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7843307.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7848768.stm the links talk about Israeli soldiers eating crisps and killing children for fun, also use of horrible illegal weapons against children in Gaza. I wish Mother Rachel had prevented these tragedies. they even attacked hospitals and UN facilities.
