31. Haredim
Wupper ,   Brooklyn,USA   (02.20.09)
Hey are these Haredim nuts.If they don't wanna mix then they should have their own buses.Thats fine and good.I see this everyday in Brooklyn.As long as the state does not have to pay for this let them have their own Buses.whats the big deal. Israel should start being a real Democracy and stop this dumbness.Sepearte state and religion once and for all.And until Israel does not do that it really looks like any other ''modern Arab nation'' in this part of the world.
32. Chillul HAshem from the black clad idol-worshippers
sergio HaDaR tezza ,   Israel   (02.20.09)
The behaviour shown by people whom unfortunately many consider as representatives of Torah-true Judaism, while they are not, is nothing but chillul Hashem. These are carriers of foreign customs and garb, which against Halakhà they imported into Erets Israel many decades ago, INSTEAD OF adopting the local religious customs. The charedi extremists are nothing but imitators of FOREIGN CUSTOMS of idolworshippers (i.e.: wearing black, see Rabbenu Bachye and Ben Ish Chai) and non-Jewish, Taliban style ideas. IN THE NAME OF TRUE TORAH they must be fought! They are nothing but BLACK-CLAD REFORMERS who go against our forefathers' traditions and KEEP ON ADDING (prohibitions) TO TORAH
33. #27

Is this something to be proud of? If people are degenerates and cannot be trusted to behave appropriately in public, that's a sign of illness (and hashem forbid how we should handle when gays are the same, or when different ethnic groups can't work together - shall we eventually have separate busses for Ashkenaz Heterosexual Females, Druze Bisexual Males, etc?). It's another thing when holier-than-thou leeches say that such degeneration is a good thing. When we look into the faces of the Chardedi are we looking at sexual predators? I don't think so (not usually, at least!). When people can't behave together, the last thing you should do is tell them "that's all right, we'll give you your own separate compartment", either in the US (separate-but-equal was anything but, and it held back society) or in Israel (separate schools for Sephardi and Ashkenaz have hurt society).
34. Disgusting
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (02.20.09)
All you have to do is use the word "haredi" and the secular world goes crazy. They don't work, they don't fight, they don't contribute, they're parasites. Kinda sounds like the Nazis talking. Give it a rest - if the Haredi want their own buses, then let them have it. And it wouldn't kill you all to pay for it also. What if it were a bunch of Arabs seeking the same thing - would you call them parasites too? Grow up - either there's room for everyone's opinion (like the Tel Aviv anti Gaza demonstators) or nobody.
35. David # 6, I agree with you
Ursus Jake ,   Brazil   (02.20.09)
Why so many pays for their standard if they hate us?
36. #22 Private enterprise
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.20.09)
We have that here in the U.S. Anyone can start their own private business. It's called the capitalist system. Freedom, it's a wonderful thing.
37. #36 - You misrepresent America
P ,   Philadelphia   (02.21.09)
In the US, businesses that offer a public service don't have the option to act completely private and discriminatory. Numerous court cases have established that "free association" of private business does not let people discriminate freely. If you tried to have a mall that did not allow blacks to shop, you would find out about this very quickly. Freedom from discrimination is more important than freedom to discriminate.
38. No. 34 nr
NYC Girl   (02.21.09)
The secular world in Israel goes crazy because of the issue of coercion, a problem we don't face in this country. In fact, I once lived in a neighborhood that Orthodox Jews began moving into. Out of respect, my mother decided not to smoke outside on Saturday, but she wasn't about to give up driving or shopping that day, nor would our neighbors have expected her to. However, in Israel, the Haredim feel they have a right to tell all of those non-religious Israelis how to live their lives, and as a result, there's a tremendous amount of antipathy on the part of Israelis toward the Haredim. In fact, I've sometimes wondered if the Arabs ever left the Israelis the hell alone, would the next "war" be one between secular and ultra-Orthodox Jews?
39. # 8 Serious Rabbis or serious thugs?
Petra ,   USA   (02.21.09)
frankly, if this happened in America, the bums would be thrown off the bus and jailed. No one has the right to insult, hit, or shame women when these bums refuse national military service., refuse to work and insult women who do. They are nothing more than the pigs in animal farm. Everyone's equal but the pigs. Who gave them power? Those afraid of these bums and thugs? Let them work, serve in the IDF and then, perhaps they will earn respect and not wrath or insults for "Rabbi's" turned fascist. They are no better than their Islamic counterparts. SHAME!! YOU INSULT ALL OF ISRAEL ps. no complaints from anyone. There is NO example in Torah of this insult to your wives, mothers, and women w/ more cajones than these draft dodging, non working bums.. Israel. equal right for women yet?
40. # 4 there's an idea, the clash between the nutless.
Petra ,   USA   (02.21.09)
it would sell better as a wrestling match.
41. # 10 Good, then throw them off the bus.
Petra ,   USA   (02.21.09)
miserable looneys. Why not have a a paid security force as the Pope does and be equal?
42. # 34 maybe they can walk?
petra ,   USA   (02.21.09)
they sound too brutal to ride w/ 'normal' Jews. Or, they can ride an ass and be confused as to who's the ass and who's the rider?
43. WOULD THEY HAVE THROWN ROSA PARKS OFF THE BUS?
petra ,   uSA   (02.21.09)
GIMME A BREAK, THESE UBBER JEWS ARE MAKING A MOCKERY OUT OF DEMOCRACY. THEY BECOME VIOLENT TO WOMEN, MAKING THEM BRUTES WHO GATHER IN PACKS AS WOLVES FOR STRENGTH. . SOME IDF TRAINED FEMALES SHOULD USE A FEW MOVES ON THEM THAT LEAVES THEM GRABBING THEIR CROTCHES AND SCREAMING 'NEVER AGAIN'. I HAVE NO USE WHATSOEVER FOR MILITANT RELIGIOUS NUTS OF ANY STRIPE. ESPECIALLY IN G-DS CHOSEN PLACE FOR G0DS CHOSE PEOPLE. THEY ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL JEWS EVERYWHERE. ( NON JEWS AS WELL)
44. SEND THEM TO GAZA
Albert ,   Buenos Aires ARG   (02.21.09)
as a present for HAM ASS !!
45. #26, LOL!!!!!!!!!
(02.21.09)
46. Religious Thugs
Avi ,   Ramat Gan   (02.22.09)
Threw stones at a bus? Have they any idea of the possible outcome of such an act? This could have caused a fatal accident killing innocent lives. Once again in true ultra orthadox style these religious thugs think they are above the law and endager other peoples lives. Whats next? will they be throwing stones at the bus carrying the children to school? Seems these men , who have nothing better else to do, could put that energy in to working for a living, paying taxes, serving in the army and learning to behave like responsible human beings.
47. When you are finished with the West Bank separation wall
Micha ,   Berlin   (02.22.09)
then continue in Mea Shearim.
48. Jews attacking Jews
Jonathan ,   Chicago   (02.22.09)
Are you kidding me? They should get their heads out of the Talmud, not that they've learned anything from it, and read up on current events. The Jews get extremely limited support and regard for anything. Surrounded by nations who want her eliminated these idiots are clueless.
