1. why are haredim and palestinian stories indistinguishable?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.11.10)
this is a sad state of affairs.
2. #1 - mike - but they are distinguishable...
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (02.11.10)
compared to palestinian stone throwers, tell me... how many of these haredim/deeply-religious stone throwers were arrested/shot?
3. The riots should be put down with maximum force
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.11.10)
The electricity, water, and gas should be cut off for a week to that neighborhood. There should be roadblocks to prevent them from leaving or entering. All financial aid from the government should be cut off permanently to them.
4. 2 , NOT enough !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.11.10)
i had prefered more of them arrested and so , compared to palestinians . They are the palestinian 5th column in Israel .
5. Fed up
(02.11.10)
Fed up with the Haredim! To be religious doesn't only mean to observ the mitsvoth regarding G.od but also regarding each others. We must enforce the law and secure their commitment to the hole Jewish People as the hole Jewish People help them to feed their studies and assure their security.
6. Paraphrase( F.Bacon ) King Harry
Sagi   (02.11.10)
"A stain on a white sheet otherwise known as England". That is how I view this phenomenon. A suitable stain remover is not yet available.
7. LOL, isn't news supposed to be something new?
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.11.10)
This has been happening almost everyday since the beginning of the state. Give them the strictest punishment possible for throwing stones (attempted murder) and the problem will go away.
8. Israeli law
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (02.11.10)
Why should I an American Jew say anything further re the sad situation running rampant in Israel. It is up to the Israelis to correct the situation and put a halt once and for all to the religious tyranny fostered by the herediim.
9. not again
marko ,   tel aviv   (02.11.10)
not again found a new exuse have they to riot
10. #2 Erastus - How many Haredim use guns and knives?
Scott ,   USA   (02.11.10)
I have a lot of experience with rioters in my own country. They should be put down by as much force as necessary - and appropriate. And that means arresting the idiots who order these riots.
11. AGAIN not all Haredim - just Eda Haredit.
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (02.11.10)
Please YNET stop causing hatred against the Haredim. This was not plain Haredim. This was Eda Hardit - again. It's a small fringe group. Thats all.
12. Very distinguishable -
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (02.11.10)
The word Haredim occurs numerous times (even thought it is a fringe group of Haredim) whereas in an article about Arabs, the word Arab would not occur at all. YNET would not want to stigmatize the Arabs.
13. VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (02.11.10)
14. Wow, #2! Awesome! lol!
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.11.10)
15. ancient people
josh ,   London   (02.12.10)
The Charedim are stuck in a time warp. They are losing the plot and breeding a people that are ignorant and unemployable... i pity the next generation who will have no choice but to beg for child benefits and beg for handouts as a means to live. These people do not represent judaism.. but a wierd evolution of judaism.. that is far removed from its original all inclusive self. its looney toons in real lfe
16. i wouldnt expect anything less
alsky ,   toronto   (02.12.10)
from the jewish Taliban
17. I am Haredi and I find this (mis)behavior disgusting.
L ,   Elad, Israel   (02.12.10)
Jewish law says that one must abide by "the law of the land" no matter which land one lives in as long as it doesn't contradict Torah-law. This is just an embarrassment. (Ynet: thanks for your usual coverage of all things embarrassing about any Haredim and trying to make it look like we're all that way)
18. Let's not compare the Edah Haredit
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.12.10)
to the Taliban. I despise both but at least the former do not engage in suicide bombing and do not otherwise kill to make their points.
