2. They are
Zohar ,   Tel Aviv   (07.18.10)
the most disgusting animals. I wish they would be thrown out of this country. The News headlines is bad yet going to prostitutes is ok or incest. They have no respect for anyone. Just makes me sick!
3. Stop services to these Anti-Israel communities
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (07.18.10)
For any community where they think that shouting out "Nazis" and "Zionists" at governmental employees then the branch should be closed. The state should not be providing services to the communities that do not acknowledge the state.
4. Haredi Riot
jdledell ,   USA   (07.18.10)
Can you imagine what the police reaction would be if Palestinians rioted like this? It sure would not have been the kid gloves treatment the haredi got here with abandonment of all charges. Just another example of equal treatment under the law - Ha.
5. crawl back to their caves
Avi ,   Israel   (07.18.10)
The angry mob attacking fellow jews shouts of Nazis and rioting , these lunatics are the last people on earth to lecture others about immorality. "Police are trying to reach an agreement" ? oh sorry didnt realise comminting crimes was a subject for debate. Pathetic police, cant even maintain public order , these charedi thugs have a green light to terror as they know they will always get away with it.
6. If they want to boycott the Postal Company ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (07.18.10)
... let them. And if they complain about the updates because the branch is in a "haredi area", close all such branches in haredi areas. Let them do their business in more sane neighborhoods. And this nonsense about withdrawing the police complaint just supports the notion that violence trumps the rule of law.
7. 'shouted out "Nazis" and "Zionists"'
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.18.10)
that's exactly what islamic extremists and terrorists say. what's next, blowing themselves up? i won't be surprised if it happens.
8. Too much PR for them!!!
VK ,   Jerusalem   (07.18.10)
Why does this deserve to be covered, while so many great and positive initiatives slip between the lines? They don't deserves to get all this media attention and will stop doing it once no one will notice their crazy acts.
9. #6 Excellent response, but...
Robert ,   USA   (07.18.10)
I am not sure further isolating the haredi areas will make the situation better in the long run. Certainly removing postal services from areas where the ultra orthodox dominate would solve the problem spoken of here, but it would further isolate. We can hope that at some point, they will live more normally and be less aggressive in forcing the views on the larger society.
10. they can use Palestine post office
Eddie ,   london UK   (07.18.10)
they can move to ramallah, and use their anti-zionist services
11. What is wrong with them?
israeli ,   israel   (07.18.10)
What is wrong with them? It's too much already, it's embarrassing... Rioting for EVERY little thing
12. Ynet dont contaminate Jerusalm with your filth.Keep it in TA
Moshe   (07.18.10)
13. Excellent response, but
Jennifer ,   Israel   (07.18.10)
This is Israel and these people dont have to work like in the USA. They are idle, and so much time on their hands, therefore their idleness is directed into destruction, not work or the good of their community. Jennifer - Israel
14. Again the headline says Haredim instead of Eda Haredit
rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.18.10)
Ynet should at least keep the trouble it causes in the correct place. Report honestly. As for the Eda Haredit , I think it is time to removed the subsidies they get. They really must be stopped somehow. They are a danger to themselves and others, incl Haredim.
15. No. 9 Robert
NYC Girl   (07.18.10)
Your comments certainly sound well-meaning, but keep in mind that these are the same hyper-religious fanatics who supported Ahmadinejad's Holocaust conference and who've made common cause with Israel's most intractable enemies. The reality is that it's virtually impossible to reason with people like that...and then we wonder why the Israelis hate them so much.
16. Love the accompanying picture
Liz   (07.18.10)
is the one on the right going to be charged with the crime of picking his nose in public...?
17. News
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (07.18.10)
I understand their concerns but, this is not their own exclusive country. They must learn to live in the world as it is. This behavior would not be accepted in any other country. There should be no compromise to this blatant attempt to make everyone else accept their narrow world.
18. How can you deny that YNet's news updates aren't obscene?
(07.18.10)
19. they're right on this ! & you ask why 14 yo have sex ?
aviG   (07.18.10)
20. #12 Moshe ! Thanks to you, the Temple was destroyed !
Yisrael ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (07.18.10)
21. today THE FIRST TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED !
Benjamin ,   SINGAPORE   (07.18.10)
AND THAT DOSENT GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO DESTROY ANYBODY- EVEN THE HAREDIM SHOULD NEVER BE PART OF ANY FORM OF DISTRUCTION ! PROPHET JACOB STOOD IN SILENCE BUT THIS HAREDIM COMMIT ABOMINATION BREAKING INTO LAWFUL PUBLIC OFFICE ! WHERE IS YOUR TORAH HAREDIM ? YOU HAREDIM GO ABOUT HITTING PEOPLE WHO WORK DOING DECENT JOB FOR LIVING !
22. #3 you mean arabs and shenkin st?
yerushalmi ,   Jerusalem   (07.18.10)
23. #20 not true
yerushalmi ,   Jerusalem   (07.18.10)
Hz"l say that bayit sheni was destroyed because of sinat hinam. That would imply that there is sina that is not hinam. For example of temple being restored by winning a military victory against secular Jews, see the story of hashmonean revolt.
24. 11 , everythjing is wrong with this filth
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.10)
25. Not extreme
loyal Jew ,   Israel   (07.18.10)
All rabbis forbid television anywhere. All these people wanted was to remove it from their post office. G-d demands much more from all of us and is being very patient, for the time being.
26. There is a very simple solution to this problem
zionist forever   (07.18.10)
DONT LOOK AT THE SCREEN IF YOU FIND IT OFFENSIVE They have these things in plenty of other post offices around the country now and there are some people who sit and watch whilst they wait and there are others who don't. All these people need to do is NOT LOOK AT THE TV. Such a simple solution and it means everybody can be happy. They can sit and study or pray whilst they wait for their number to come up and others can watch ynet.
27. # 25
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.18.10)
"their post office" ? since when does the post office belong to them? As # 25 says, they dont have to look at the sceen.
28. moshe 12 you are not allowed on the internet
AVROM ,   bet shemesh   (07.18.10)
29. Deport the Eda Haredit to Tehran where they belong
Avi ,   Israel   (07.19.10)
30. to #5 funny but that what palis r doing
ghostq   (07.19.10)
shouting Nazis at Israelis and rioting and the arab population not paying taxes and serving the IDF, should we call them immorals as well by what you just said? see how your extreme point of view is influence by selfish political policy. try to put things in the right persepctive.
