31. sounds like obsessive compulsive behaviour to me....
dave ,   uk   (08.11.09)
oh wait, that is hasidism!
32. Wow ! Let's have separate countries !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.11.09)
33. No. 30

You know what they say..."Show me the money" and somehow I suspect these fanatic mongrels are being handsomely rewarded by Arab and Iranian propagandists and the sycophantic ass-kissers who support them. Not only that, but the adherents of this bizarre sect really don't have to do much of anything other than lend their hideous faces to any anti-Israel rally or Holocaust denial convention, as you rightly indicated...and the media just laps it up. Apparently, churning out propaganda for some of the most loathsome regimes on the planet pays quite nicely these days.
34. Giving the wrong message
Rabbi Dr Micha Sloma ,   Jerusalem   (08.11.09)
These type of Haredim are bringing about a bad name to Judaism, Chas V'Shalom. The laws of modesty do not call for such extremes.
35. Back to the camps
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (08.11.09)
This is a brilliant suggestion that the women should be separated from the men, it happened not long ago in the camps in Germany and Poland and then 6,000,000 perished. But there is a far better way send all the Neturei Karta men a way to another country, I think the woman will feel much better.
36. #33 How naive I've been. It never occurred to me
#30 sounds right   (08.11.09)
that this unsavoury traitorous group get paid by our enemies, but it makes such logical sense. May they and their money be damned together with our enemies, bim'haira. Unless they do t'shuva which they won't, as that they know they won't get paid for. Ugh, what ghastly beings. Ugly inside and out.
37. #2 HAHAH :)
Joel ,   USA   (08.11.09)
You statement "We know that the best yeshiva students get the best girls" reminds me of the assimilated/reform world you come from. Why? Because in that world "we know that the best doctor, lawyer, seeker of material wealth, etc. gets the best girls". Unfortunately those girls end up not being Jewish and their reform/conservative "conversions" (if they have them) DO NOT make them gers and their offspring are in no way Jews. I know, I grew up in this community and yes, I am going to medical school :) At least I recognize it though, and value observance.
38. NK Tourism
Mike ,   Portland, USA   (08.12.09)
The Israelis cannot laugh this off. When tourists choose a destination they prefer to spend their discretionary $ to visit hassle- free environments. Why get hassled in Jerusalem by backward religious zealots when you can hang out on a beach in Majorca or visit the bars & cafes of Barcelona? People don't need to spend hard earned money to be immersed in rudeness. The Israelis should set up 2 land reservations for these people. 1 for males and 1 for females. The problem should solve itself in about 50 years if no contact is allowed between the 2 reservations.
39. Mother Rachel
Motic ,   London England   (08.12.09)
The mystics say that during the war Mother Rachel spoke to Israeli soldiers. Did she have to shout from the other side of the street?
40. it was customed 2000 years ago
ghostq   (08.12.09)
you need to change with time or turn to dinosaurs and we all know what happen to them.
41. seperate streets
(08.12.09)
Maybe men can leave the house only on Sunday,Tuesday and Thursdays and woman only on Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays only. Shabbat everyone can stay home. That should solve the problem.
42. Sick of this already
Yazi   (08.13.09)
I'm a secular Jew, and will walk on whatever sidewalks in Eretz Yisrael I wish to. I will not segregate myself from women, I will not be any more shomer Shabbat than I choose to be, and there's not a damn thing you can do to change my mind. Neturei Karta members don't recognize Medinat Yisrael, so you have no say here. Go back to Brooklyn, Jerusalem belongs to me as much as it does to the haredim. These people are Jewish taliban, plain and simple. The gov't needs to put a stop to this NOW.
43. The Plague.!
ronald   (08.13.09)
Since they are not Jews, not Muslims, not christians, They must be Goyim. God's sidekicks for His chosen people, and I have a solution for Jerusalem, for Israel. Since they started this separate "business " in the buses, schools, streets, El Al, shopping, praying, ghetto living, why not pursue a logical sequence 1 ) separate dining room 2 )separate bedroom 3 ) separate bed........ No intercourse, no children, no naturei karta. Et voila, a free Jewish State. That Pig, Ahmadino, will agree to take the remnants
