1. This is not news
m   (02.26.09)
Even when there are no bad news to be told about "haredim" you will concoct one. The haredi bash story of the day?
2. Charge the bums and bill the Yeshivot !
Yisrael ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.26.09)
How long will we put up with these parasites, who steal in the name of Torah, drive Jews away from Yiddishkeit, and hide behind the IDF, all the while belittling the State and disgracing Hashem who protects it ? They caused the destruction of the Second Temple, and we will not let them destroy this one.
3. CHARGE THEM
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (02.26.09)
While peaceful protest is completely legal and I fully support it, riots are not. Ergo there are two things to do. Now that the trash bins have been replaced, pass the cost on to the neighborhoods where they have been placed. A special tax or a removal of funds from their stipend. The second thing to do is arrest those responsible. I know the police fear doing that for some reason but there is no legal right to riot. In fact arresting those whose speech is insight to riot would also be a good idea!
4. Deductions in order
Stop the madness ,   x   (02.26.09)
10 times the amount of replacement should be deducted from yeshiva support by the government, and anybody caught torching garbage cans should be treated the same way Palestinian youth who throw stones are treated.
5. This Gay Demonstration...
Keith ,   west virginia   (02.26.09)
is a provocation of the first order!
6. Let Them Collect Their Own Garbage
Michael ,   New York, USA   (02.26.09)
Pass a city ordiance: Each neighborhood gets new garbage cans once every five years. If cans are destroyed by vandalism or theft: The neighborhood has to replace them. In time the Haredim will develop their own police force, as they do in Brooklyn.
7. Don't give them any!
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (02.26.09)
Make them buy their own, from metal, or stop collection. Let them learn to value what's done for them. Charge them for what they've ruined! What's the matter? Afraid they'll riot again? If the do, round up the rioters and ship them to their buddy Ahmadinejad.
8. jerusalem is special for all
gays4isrel ,   toronto   (02.26.09)
viva gay and lesbian jews
9. Make the gays pay for it!
(02.26.09)
10. Metal Trash Bins
Ger ,   Raanana, Israel`   (02.26.09)
What took them so long? The ones who destroyed the original bins do not pay taxes, so it was the citizens of Jerusalem and the country that kept paying for the replacements.
11. The garbage cans experts.....!
jan   (02.27.09)
Only 450.000 NIS in 3 years? No problem. It's all replaceable thanks to the generosity of " righteous " jews who donate millions$$ to to those who do nothing for the State, nothing for the city, nothing for the neighborhood, except what they do best SHNORRING, insulting those who don't share their views,a la islam, in pushing their warped beliefs on others. So what's a few trash cans ......!
12. Lock them up W/ GAYS
Petra ,   USA   (02.27.09)
Hell, the gays are far more civilized than the looney, arsonist, "Religious" Jews! Perhaps being confined to small quarters they can learn to actually speak w/ one another? Gays are better mannered than these embarrassing dangerous, costly non working 'citizens.' Go figure?
13. Hey Keith of WV
Proud Gay Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.05.09)
You are completely clueless. You have no idea what it is like being gay in Israel. A demonstration on the capital is very much necessary. These are not the demonstrations you witness on the news from New York. These are quiet peaceful non-confrontational protests. There is no vulgar displays. This is a request for equal rights. Nothing special as the Hardei get. We fight for our country. We work. We pay taxes. They do not. They mooch off society. Perhaps in West Virgina you're used to mooching off the country. If the depiction of eveyone who lives there are true, you're all related and incestuous. I don't believe this is the case, but your statements are making me question that.
