1. Yea, a little hilul Hashem helps the system
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.22.10)
Sinat hinam, hilul Hashem, and just plain old averot against Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Since these vermin in black were NOT doing what they were supposed to be doing (mitzvot and learning Torah), I say put 'em in the army and have 'em dig tank trenches. Better yet, if they have so much energy to spare stick them in combat units and teach them how to kill properly (like attacking male enemies, not female Jews). Every time I think the haredim should just be left on their own, they prove again why the status quo should be shut down. End the get-out-of-the-army free deal. Use tax money to pay for a maximum of 2000 talmidim chachamim and EVERYBODY else does the army and gets a job... just like Jews did for the previous 2000 years since the last time we had a country. Obviously there was no mitzvah these jerks were fulfilling by stoning a car with Jewish women inside. Find out who their rabbis are - fire them (aka, stop the state from paying their salaries) since they are not teaching mitzvot to their talmidim. Find out where these guys learn, and close it down - obviously they are teaching averot, not mitzvot. Enough of these shtuyot. Time for the Jews to start enforcing Torah on our own. There is no Torah in burning garbage cans or attacking policemen (and stealing their equipment, as happened last month). And -quite obviously - there is only sin in attacking women. Gevalt!
2. And just imagine what kind of soldiers these
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (06.22.10)
crack stonethrowers would make if given an opportunity to join the slingshot brigade.
3. What tottaly Sick people
Avi ,   Israel   (06.22.10)
Throwing stones at a vehicle with a women inside? Just how low can these people sink? This action could have resulted in serious injury or death. Obviously these people have to much time and energy on their hands , which could be channeled in the job market and in the IDF. Time to cut their benefits and hand out jail sentences to offenders.
4. Haredim are ignorant Savages
Phoenix ,   Israel   (06.22.10)
Haredim are not fit to live in a modern society they are ignorant to the last degree. They are just a bunch of crazy savages. They should all move to Iran they are fit to primitive places are those. We must also stop feeding money to this bunch of lazy primitive idiots.
5. Criminal Acts
leo ,   nyc   (06.22.10)
The Israeli government is making a huge mistake in tolerating these acts of insurrection by so called "holy" men---in NYC these men would be arrested---and rightfully so....
6. With such "fine" citizens Israel is doomed to self-destruct.
Ali ,   Washington DC   (06.22.10)
7. We have met the enemy
shrinkDave ,   miami usa   (06.22.10)
and the enemy dresses, eats, talks, prays, treats women, and has the tolerance of any radical Islamist you can name. And meanwhile, the enemy watches, sneaks in while everybody's distracted by nonsense, and poisons the well. Never again? Not so sure.
8. yes, send them frontline in the army ...
avi   (06.22.10)
and they will understand what praying really means !!!
9. Dear #8
tzviah ,   jerusalem   (06.22.10)
Do you really want these type of people in the army? OR is that the type if soldiers that belong in the army? A true soldier should attack only when he needs to not just to get his frustrations out.
10. Savages
tzviah ,   jerusalem   (06.22.10)
What amazes me is that just a few days ago there was a demonstration of 150,000 "charedim' that was NOT violent. IMAGINE ! 150,000 of these so-called savages that had no violence. One minute, could we be talking about the same people, or could it be that there are a few rotten apples in every bunch. Why don't we stop this haranging of haredim . I love these people who just see the word and their eyes start bulging. For the people who see to think that they are the most tolerant, maybe you should look in your own backyard?
11. # 2 Robert
Sagi   (06.22.10)
The "slingshot brigade" went out of fashion immediately upon the demise of Goliath. However, after reconsidering your suggestion, I do believe it would be fitting to enroll them in the armed forces and establish such a unit. It would be in keeping with their "biblical" standards and impetus and motivation would be engendered by holding a sling in one hand and a bible in the other, not to mention the extensive training that they have already undergone. Good thinking on your part.
12. Sad bad and mad
Sagi   (06.22.10)
Sad that women in this day and age seek "blessings" from holy men. Mad that a large section of our society believe in such things and bad because of the perpetration of violence and the indifference to that violence from the authorities.
13. yes Tsviah, because we chould fight in Hashem's Name,
avi   (06.22.10)
but the 'true' soldiers wouldn't be necessary because the prayers would scare our ennemies to death, if only we would believe in Hashem and these Haredim could prove at last that they are leading a nation under G.d's eyes.
14. This has to stop.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (06.22.10)
The hooligans and small fanatic groups that operate out of Me'a She'arim have to be stopped. They harm the local populace of the neighborhood, people who pass through or near it, and cause inevitable harm both to the public image of Haredi Jews as a whole and to any campaign that is related to them, regardless of whether it's justified or run peacefully. Perhaps instead of arresting parents, the police would best serve public safety and security of *all* Israelis by arresting these people, the fringe of Haredi society. And yes, it is Hillul Hashem. Threatening harm to human life in such a manner... where's the police when you do need it?
15. That's their way ....
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.22.10)
and we don't see their "rabbanim" condemning them .....They and their parents and "educators" should be sent to jail
