interesting choice of words.im not jewish, so i find the secular/religious divide slightly strange as i do not understand it. but its interesting you call them cockroaches. this is the term used by the hutus for the tutsis back in 1994. do you really hate them so much?
6. Cockroach
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.23.09)
Only in the cafeteria ? We've had them in our Congress and a few are still in office !
7. Just like in Prison
Avi ,   Rannana   (06.23.09)
Surely Shas MKs should be used to cock roaches in the food just like in prison, where 7 Shas Mks have served time.

Talula ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
I can't stand them. But let us not generalize. I'll narrow it down for you. I can't stand the ones who lie, steal, won't serve in the army, demand everyone live the same lifestyle as they do, cheat, steal, riot, sexually abuse children, beat up women, steal from their country and make continual demands - oh the list goes on and on. However, to be fair, I must admit that they are not all like that…..but most of them are. And why does it piss me off so much? Because every evil deed they do, is forbidden in Judaism – and they are supposed represent the supreme symbol of morality, ethics and principles of Judaism. I put it down to selective understanding. Go figure. PS: The accompanying picture was also of a Shas member. Guess I'm not the only one to equate cockroaches and haredim!
11. Israeli cockroaches are definately not vegatarians, vegans.

12. To #5 (and #1)

Talula simply hates anything Jewish. For example, she regularly berates the national religious even though they work and serve in the army in greater numbers than any other element of society. Her statement that "most" Orthodox Jews "lie, steal, won't serve in the army, demand everyone live the same lifestyle as they do, cheat, steal, riot, sexually abuse children, beat up women, steal from their country and make continual demands" borders on Nazism. The reason she hates Judaism so much is unknown to me but anti-Semitism is unfortuantely a common syndrom that affects Jews as well. Perhaps it is to make up for her own short-coming in life that she chooses to belittle Jews. Some people feel like they cannot climb any higher unless it is by stepping on the heads of others.
13. Just as we suspected: MKs are cannibals (end)
JPS ,   Efrat   (06.23.09)
14. Talula...
Israeli ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
Don't you think there are hilonim that lie, steal, don't serve in the army, abuse children, etc.? You wrote that most hareidim commit these crimes. Do you really believe at least 51% of hareidim act this way? If you think this, you are very misinformed. Love and peace.
15. #10 No, Talula, it was the Shas MK who complained.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (06.23.09)
But apparently complaining about filthy insects being cooked in your food is Evil Haredi Behavior(TM).
16. its obvious Shas MKS have never served in the IDF
zionist forever   (06.23.09)
Is a story about poor starving MKS because of a cockroach even newsworthy? I found a cockroach walking along the kitchin table last week but I didn't find reporters from ynet knocking on my front door .. why not? Last week I had a cockroach in the kitchin but instead of calling the media or closing the place down. I got a disposable plastic cup caught the cockroach under it. Then I slid a piece of paper under the cup and squashed the thing and put the paper, cup and cockroach into the bin After that I just sat down and ate my dinner. If they want I can come show them how its done no multi million dollar weaponry needed. Prehaps this is why the haredi don't serve in the IDF. You find plenty of cockroaches around military bases but they don't close the whole place down when they find one. If you don't serve then you will never find yourself face - face with a deadly cockrach that wants to kill you
17. cockroach are still walking the Knesset

Talula ,   Israel   (06.23.09)
You are clearly out of touch with what goes on here. Infact you know absolutely zipo! So why don't you just butt out and mind your own business. Come live here then we'll talk.. Untill then, get lost!
19. Talula you are a sad case
Shalom   (06.23.09)
If you honestly, in your heart, believe that the MAJORITY of Hareidim are the way you describe them, then I'm sorry sweetheart but you better see a shrink. I would say a MINORITY of hareidim (using a small h because "hat and jacket don't maketh a Hareidi); same as MINORITY of secular Jews, minority of Christians, minority of arabs, minority of . . . you get the drift? Oh btw - you know fine well that more and more are serving in the army; the MAJORITY (ie over 51%) are working and paying taxes - (Talula - would you like to see my pay slip; I can assure you I'ld rather not pay taxes but what can I do!!!)
20. #16 Every Shas MK served in the military.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (06.23.09)
21. equal treatment
Ethan ,   Eilat   (06.23.09)
My father volunteered on an Army base and found the kitchen so filthy he refused to eat there. He pointed the filth out to the Kashrut supervisors there and was informed that the filth had nothing to do with dietary laws. Let's start seeing equal health care as well as equal retirement benefits and other social benefits with MK's and those they supposedly represent
22. Close Down Knesset Meat Kitchen
Fearless Joe ,   Houston, TX USA   (06.23.09)
Roaches are not kosher. Kosher is one thing, a solid inspection program is another. I choose to think, that this roach is rather religious in his/her own birthright!
23. The cafeterias should be closed all the time
jason white ,   afula,israel   (06.23.09)
They have dirty politicians eating there. The cockroaches should be the ones complaining!
24. Yes the Knesset is infested with vermin
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (06.23.09)
mostly of the 2 legged variety, and mostly in the opposition
25. As if politicians didn't have enough problems.
joseph   (06.23.09)
We all agree, too many cockroaches in the Knesset.
26. No Big Deal
Phillip ,   USA   (06.23.09)
None of these MP's ever served in the military. If they did a roach would not be a big deal. Imagine going to a sergeant to complain about a bug in your field mess. I fear for the future of Israel if this issues such as a roach can effect the Knesset.
27. All this over a li'l ol' roach?
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (06.23.09)
I don't know whether or not there are palmetto bugs in Israel, but those are worth some excitement. Palmetto bugs are to cockroaches what eagles are to hummingbirds. Unless you get a direct hit with bug spray the equivalent of an AK 47, the damn' things think you're trying to feed them and they start to follow you around.....Well, ok, maybe not quite, but they're hard to kill. The ones outside my house are pretty smart, too. They've heard of my cooking and prefer to stick with spiders and roadkill for their sustenance.
28. Talula: please address the substance of my TB
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (06.23.09)
Your failure to interpose a defense on your behalf confirms what we all already suspected: your rabid anti-Jewish stance is indefensible. How easy it is to point to my residence! It requires no argument and requires you to take no position. In fact, we can tell what an anti-Semite looks like just fine from Queens. And for the record, most Shas MKs served in the IDF. Talula, how were your years of service? What? You never served!? Thats impossible!
29. Reminds me of a song...
A Sephardi   (06.23.09)

30. I understand that you like roge meals.
