1. this haredi violence has got to stop
zionist forever   (08.30.09)
They are welcome to protest but its time to take serious legal action to stop this kind of thing. Have a three strikes and your out system. First time you spend the night in a polce cell & released without charge. Second time it goes to court but the sentence is a light one like community service or a suspended sentence. Third time it becomes a serious offense and they risk jail. Three strikes is more than fair and as long as everybody knows peaceful protest is legal that way the civil liberties people have nothing to complain about. They must be made to understand nobody will object to peaceful protest but the state will not stand for violence it doesn't matter if its coming from the haredi, arabs or secular jews.
2. #1 I agree 100%. These people seem to
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (08.30.09)
believe that they are a law unto themselves. Not so. I never said a thing when Kent State happened, to be honest it was about time and Kent State made those radicals wake up and we haven't had riots like that since.
3. Nir took his lesson from Nixon who knew he was losing the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.31.09)
war in Viet Nam, but kept pushing on as his family wasn't dying there, only strangers. If people in Jerusalem can't keep Shabbos, why should G-d bless the land of Israel? Is there no limit to appeasing the Israelis who think G-d does not exist?
4. HYPOCRITS! Not one of them practices "Love your neighbor as
yourself".Put them ,   all in jail. Morons.   (08.31.09)
5. Joe: Quit Smokin' That Stuff
emanon ,   USA   (08.31.09)
It's evil arab weed and it's rotting your brain. If that was some twisted attempt at sarcasm, you need help. If you are serious about what you posted, you need REAL help!
6. The Irony of a Zionist complaing about violence
Mark Silberstone ,   USA   (08.31.09)
I'll begin by stating that I'm an Orthodox Jew (not hasidic/chasideshe). It doesn't come as a surprise that "zionist forever (#1)" complains about violen4ce - completely ignoring the suffering and murder and endless violence that Zionism has committed against fellow Jews and Palestinians. Zionists are of course the biggest hypocrites - so "zionist forever" you deserve credit for so easily and clearly illustrating this. Nothing new, but I thought I'd share the obvious hypocracy with others.
7. Protestors
Marilyn ,   USA   (08.31.09)
With the woman, they sound like bullys defending another bully.
8. welfare for life.
JO   (08.31.09)
for able bodied men who are healthy and can work. That is what the Hardeim live off (and I know not all do but the majority do so) welfare for life. That is why they are not respected by the seculars, they do not pay taxes, do not serve in the army, live of welfare and handouts and yet protest and demand everything . The goverement should stop this welfare stipend to the Haredim (Ben Gurion never meant this to be like this)and let them start working , then they will have to face the same realities that most seculars do and will not have time for protesting.
9. protest does not mean violently attacking people and
ari ,   israel   (08.31.09)
property. They are rioting and are criminals for attacking others. theses people have missed the core of being Jewish. love your brother as yourself. If one cant even respect his fellow man how can respect God? Dont these "learned" people know what happened to the students of Rabbi Akiva?? absolutely disgusting.
10. Just stop giving them state money!
Allegra ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.31.09)
How come we work hard so that Haredims can have the good life, with men never working, men and women not doing military service, men and women having a dozen childrne and getting secular Israeli pay for them? Just cut 100% of the money they get from the state, and they become peaceful from one day to the other, you'll see.
