1. NK
Yisraeli   (03.02.10)
theyre beyond the pale....whatever that means. Is their no limit to their chillul Hashem and azuss poonim? Seems not. Cherem isnt enough, I would deport them from Israel along with other haters of Israel. They are not part of my peaople no matter how many times they daven a day, they belong in the enemies camp. They will go down as Korach did. They are beyond redemption imo.
2. Yet the Neturei Karta live in our country
Avi ,   Israel   (03.02.10)
We have a faction of the Neturei Karta living in our country. Living off my tax money, not serving in the army, cause trouble, hate our country and deny others their freedom and democracy. Time to deport them to Iran where they belong, i would persoanlly fund their transfer !
3. Abbas' friends: who cares
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.02.10)
The NK is a extreme fringe group so who cares what they do. What is more disturbing is that Abbas and the PA see these people as the ambassadors to the Jewish religion. That tells us something about the PA and Abbas: they only like quisling Jews (and vice versa).
4. Disgusting behaviour
era ,   Jlem, Israel   (03.02.10)
"According to the flyers, items available include German SS uniforms, Luftwaffe pilot uniforms, Hitler Jungen (the Nazi youth movement) uniforms, and Einsatzgruppe ('death squads') uniforms, as well as Inquisition costumes." Possession of such things should be a punishable crime in this country, as it is in Germany. This is disgusting.
5. just declair them as ilegal org and put them
ghostq   (03.02.10)
in jail. cut all their social benefits. in judaism is forbiden to burn icons, any icons nor books, I guess when you r dealing with pagans than that is what happen.
6. Why Live in Israel???!!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (03.02.10)
I honestly don't understand people who live in a country they hate so much. How can they stand to live with all the "Amalekites" in Israel? Don't they consider it a sin just to be in the country of the "Amalekites"? Honestly, if I thought as badly about the US as the NKs do about Israel, I'd never stay in the US. Why do they stay in Israel? Since they were waving Palestinian Flags, why don't they move to Gaza?
7. Deport NK to Iran
blash ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.02.10)
Agreed with #1, Cherem (excommunication) is not enough for NK. They need to be deported to an Arab country, preferably Iran. We can be sure that they will be given a good reception - Iran hates Zionists and would welcome the opportunity to kill some more Jews. Maybe then NK can understand the value of Israel in an anti-Semetic world.
8. deprt them to their communities outside of Israel.
Ilana   (03.02.10)
we don't need them, want them and they are parasites.
9. WHY?
Talula ,   Israel   (03.02.10)
Why are they allowed to behave that way. Isn't it enough that we have the rest of the world burning our flag? Do we really need these psychotic misfits doing it on our own front-door step? Why are these vile people continually allowed to do as they please without having to pay for the consequences? Is our government really THAT weak? Kick them out the country - Iran would love to have them. God knows I'm sure Monkey Man is just dying for another Frencher,
10. paradox
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.02.10)
But they, of course, are not self-hating Jews...apparently only secular leftwingers desrrve that epithet
11. And they do not even know Jewish history.
Rafael ,   Paris   (03.02.10)
Amalek in the Bible and in Megilat Ester ie Haman came to kill the Jews they did not come to make them sin. To be exact they came as a punishment for wasting time not learning Torah.
12. they are beyond the pale
johanna ,   tsfat   (03.02.10)
how they can even think of wearing nazi uniforms is beyond me - after all there are still people alive who were tortured by the nazis - and may even live in meah shearim and be very shaken by seeing them and inquisition costumes too!! i suppose they support the inquisition as well! however as i understand it they don't take any money from the state of israel. at least they aren't that hypocritical.
13. Tradition?
Sarit   (03.02.10)
May I ask why everything (disgusting) charedim have been doing in the last few years is already named "tradition"? Everything that comes from their mouth seems to be THE real and traditional Judaism! Ma pitom?! Even burning our flag in our Country?
14. Put the internal enemy into JAIL
Ephraim ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.02.10)
Deport them to Ramallah, I'm curious whether the Arabs would let them live for more than a month, otherwise you can let them share the jails where Palestinian terrorists are enjoying "Zionist hospitality"
15. NC members are Al Quadia paid agents
Gavriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (03.02.10)
I cannot believe that a JEW is putting the Israeli flag and the David star into fire. Neither seculars nor anti-Zonist Jews would dare to do this. i'm 100! sure that NC people are not Jews but paid agents of Al Quaida and Iran.
16. just wondering if they burn everything
ghostq   (03.02.10)
with david star on it. mmm
17. I love these holies with all my heart, God bless them!!!
Sam ,   America   (03.02.10)
18. Inquisition
expat   (03.02.10)
Clearly these people are thick and don't know their history. During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, the Jews were forced to convert to Christianity (ie forcing them to sin) - or die. And these people think that that is something worth celebrating? Over, Israel, a tolerant, democratic country which allows people to practice religion in which ever way they wish - even in this utterly warped way? If these people truly believed in Hashem, they should realise that the only reason we have Israel is because He wants us to and by cursing Israel, they are going against His wishes.
19. SO WHAT? The media....
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (03.02.10)
always blows this stuff out of proportion. 100 people got together again to burn the Israeli flag. Is it the first time? Is it everyday? These guys are a bunch of loosers and the media stupidly and continuously plays into their hands by acting as if these baboons have mistreated the most sacred item in the world. GET OVER IT ALREADY!! and stop giving into the middle child syndrom!
20. I passed the NK Synagogue
Miriam Woelke ,   Jerusalem   (03.02.10)
on Monday and it was dark and abandoned. Obviously the NK organized a great PR gag with the media by burning a flag. Isn't it starnge that there is always a journalist when the NK does such a campagne and when other people pass there is nothing.
21. No. 17 Sam
NYC Girl   (03.02.10)
Maybe if you're lucky the Israelis will ship these blasted religious fanatics to their enclave in Brooklyn, so you can continue to revel in your anti-Zionist wet dream.
22. NK are EXCELLENT PR
Daniel Rossi ,   Great Neck, NY   (03.02.10)
I personally think they are stupid and self indulgent, However, they are ESSENTIAL for PR. Judaism MUST NOT be equated with Zionism as long as there are Jews living in exile. Just imagine this- IDF kills a Palestinian terrorist. The same day, Iranian loonies (or French Muslim loonies) will murder hundreds of Jews because they would see them as Zionists. It is essential for the safety of Jews in diaspora to not be equated with Zionism. So again, I despise them (NK) and disagree with them, but they are useful for now...
23. I am having a hard time keeping
Barney ,   USA   (03.02.10)
my hamantashen down. kick these fruitcakes out of Israel.
24. And why is this news?
tzioni ,   ny   (03.02.10)
20 people burn a flag in some negiborhood in jerusalem and it makes Yediot. weird.
25. #10, On the contrary, they are in good company
Jake   (03.02.10)
26. the enemy within
Lisa   (03.02.10)
Israelis should not worry about anti-semitic behavior of people outside the country- you have the worst enemy within. Wearing costumes of Nazis, Inquisition etc... is just plain BAD taste- how can they let children wear something like this- these people are brain dead, sick and criminal- why are they tolerated in Israel? I would like to have one reasonable answer from anyone- because as an outsider I can say: this is beyond the pale. Any other country would prosecute flag burners etc. as traitors- in Israel they are treated as honorable citizens? Makes one wonder-
27. #22 Great Neck?????
Lisa   (03.02.10)
you must be joking- you really believe this is good PR? For whom? For the NK? It certainly is NOT good PR for Israel- about the only news we see it this kind of shit.- and this is good? Why would a Jew in the Diaspora with a good job, save place to life etc want to move to Israel? There are better places to live than Great Neck I am sure- my Jewish friends in Switzerland and Spain like it just fine- and they would not move if you paid them- not as long as there are loonies like the NK living in Israel.
28. where can we meet to burn their 18 century costumes and effi
ralph   (03.02.10)
effigies of their fraudulent rabbis.
29. Attention queens
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (03.02.10)
All they want is attention! When you give them what they want you are just feeding their addiction. Ignore them and they will shrivel up and go away.
30. Nuitra
Eyal ,   USA   (03.03.10)
They hate Israel, Zionism, they are foreigners from the European and American decent, yet they live in Israel for what reason? I really don't understand why true Orthodox don't beat them up or make them feel uncomfortable living in Jerusalem.
