jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.03.09)
Suppose a terrorist gave the three stooges a bomb in a suitcase? They were not naive,but greedy and stupid, Let them sit in a Japanese prison for the full eight years,then they can return here and do another eight, Don't forget the brucha for sushi.

you can try all you want to bring your kids up right but eventually they have to learn how to stand on their own 2 feet and accept responsibility for their own actions----too bad.
6. Idiots! But Ironic....
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (05.04.09)
...considering that a large amount of pills in CA come from the Japanese.
7. You have to admit, they make their bacon.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.03.09)
8. Waste of energy either way really.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.04.09)
9. Gullible, greedy, or terminally stupid?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.04.09)
That Israelis - including the ultra-Orthodox - have been involved in the ecstasy trade is nothing new. Were they really that gullible? I have my doubts. Whenever I've flown to or from Israel I'm asked who packed my bags, and if anyone gave me anything to carry. So these guys almost certainly lied to security. So let them serve their sentences in Japan. Maybe their experience will deter others.
10. Haredi or Secular with haredi clothes ?
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (05.04.09)
anyway.... drug is a bad thing... a man who live with G.d would no do such thing...
11. Being young and stupid is a rite of passage
Al   (05.04.09)
There tons of secular Israel dimwits smoking their brains out in India and other points in between. Point is being stupid is not confined to any one group. Sushi..in my time it was herring. Whats the brocha? "Ma Ma Ma get me out of here."
12. Lucky for them
Yaron ,   USA   (05.04.09)
they are not in a country that is primitive and barbaric for which they would be hanging from the gallows already....as is demonstrated by the monkey sheiks in Iran on a regular basis.
13. 98 percent
ben ,   baltimore   (05.04.09)
of the xtasy in us comes from israel and these so called yeshiva students

momojp ,   Israel & Japan   (05.04.09)

15. #12 - There have been death penalty cases in the USA
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (05.04.09)
...involving drug dealing!
16. Take pity on the youngster in a Japanese prison...
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (05.04.09)

17. #15
Yaron ,   USA   (05.04.09)
