31. Haredim and Saudi common values
human ,   usa   (03.22.09)
let them go to Saudi arabia; they will feel right at home.
32. Ok run segregated buses, 1 gender per bus
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (03.22.09)
Egged should run the segregated buses, a full bus per gender. And since women travel with children and therefore need more seats, run them 3 buses an hour for women and 1 for men. Let's give women the rights they deserve for a change.

40. Segregation, another schule??
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (03.24.09)
If the herediim want segregated buses, I say let them run their own bus service. Let them pay for the buses, the fuel and the personnel to drive and service them. However they have no right to demand that Egged or any other bus line adhere to their illegal demands. Simple, if the herediim want a bus service to match their "needs", they should run it themselves and pay for it themselves.
41. Deja Vu !!
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (03.24.09)
First it was El AL. Separate flights. Women in a separate section, no TV, no women serving them. You know the next thing that will be demanded are separate streets; special hours when women are permitted to shop, and lust like the Arabs, the women will have to hide the faces that the sex starved herediim don't attack them. Hey Tom, Egged has no responsibility to merely one segment of the Israeli public. If herediim want a segregated bus line, they should pay for it. Let them hire the buses for private trips. Then they have a right to control who rides. If they want to pay for it, that's fine. Have you seen any request along that line? No, well neither has anyone else. In other words, they want Egged to run the bus line to suit them and Egged should should bear the costs involved. That's quite a deal. Try demanding that in Vermont.
42. to all
meir ,   london   (03.24.09)
to all of you who think that the rabbis should stay out of all this let me ask you this. Why do you say israel belongs to us?who is US?Why are we better than all of the arabs/english/turks and all the rest that conquered this land?What right do we have to it more than anyone?Why did the jews davke want israel and not jamaica?????The answer is as follows: The Tora!!!!!! It says in the Tora that Hashem gave it to us!!!!!Taht is the only reason.Not history not for any other reason. Now if you choose to comply to the tora AND THAT MEANS THE RABBIS WHO ARE THE MOST LEARNED especially Rav Eliashiv who is The Highest authority,THEN and only then can you have a claim to this land otherwise what do you have?/?? That means they make decisions.you're not happy or you want to have your own set of laws then you're welcome but you dont have a claim to israel.Sorry.
43. Lucky ladies
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (03.31.09)
They now have been blessed by their "loving" men to ride the buses separately. No more "accidental" touching. Of course they still could be attacked by those self same men in their homes who call themselves "modesty police". Or Hashem forbid, you could be stoned at the Kotel because you had the nerve to break the rabbinic rules(not Torah rules) since you prayed to G-d out loud. There could be no such rules in the Torah since there was no Kotel at the time when Moses received the ten commandments. Oh yes ladies, the rebbunim have been been short shrifting you since Sinai. In fact there were no rabbis then, they were priests and that is how the goyem got that name.
