(04.12.10)
2. this was plan all along
jason ,   haifa israel   (04.12.10)
the compromise was to have the vote to allow experts a month to make a decision. This is what happened.
3. Democracy wins!
VK ,   Jerusalem   (04.12.10)
How nice to see that the public was able to make a crucial impact on this situation - this prooves to us that we can do even more! Let's tackle Gilad Shalit!
4. Graves aren't even jewish
jason ,   haifa israel   (04.12.10)
Litzman should chill
5. well done Bibi
marko ,   tel aviv   (04.12.10)
well done Bibi, for once you did not give in to the religious factions
6. No problem.
NVO ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.13.10)
No Problem, Daniel 12:2 tells us that "many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." So it does not matter. Build on!
7. Great Decision!!
Christy ,   Boston, MA   (04.13.10)
8. Democracy and common sense wins the day
Avi ,   Israel   (04.13.10)
Now all that remains is that Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman should be fired as he clearly demonstrates the need to seperate politics and religion.
9. You want to tell me that in all of Judaism's wisdom...
Ozraeli ,   Australia   (04.13.10)
...there is no religious process, procedure for disinterment & reinterment at a new location? No awareness or acknowledgment of previous inhabitants that the living go through to "kosher" the ground? Do they need to be 100% certain that the sadly departed were Jewish before commencing such a procedure? The monumental idiocy of even THINKING about committing TENS of MILLIONS of shekelim for such a fallacious project is mind boggling. By distancing the ER, the increased danger to emergency care was multiplied. IMO, there had to be some kind of political leverage or advantage sought for such contradictory logic. With all due respect to history, tradition, consecration of hallowed ground (supposedly), & religious law, Judaism is about life, constructiveness, & advancement, not foundering on the shoals of hair splitting paleontology of an unknown origin.
10. Bibi showed respect for the dead and for needs of the living
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.13.10)
11. good, indeed.
ghostq   (04.13.10)
12. cynical?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (04.13.10)
would it be too cynical to ask what political "price" mk litzman and utj were asking, in order to agree that the graves weren't jewish? were they asking too much, or had they painted themselves into a corner, by giving the matter too much publicity to be seen to be changing their minds (for a "fee")? "religious parties" are a bad idea in the corrupt world of politics...
13. #12 - not at all
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (04.13.10)
They decided the graves weren't Jewish in a fancy smancy building project they started a few years ago.
