5. So this is what the foreign ministry wants
jason white ,   afula, israel   (03.19.11)
people overseas to learn about Israel. No wonder we are losing the war in hisbara. Show Jewish people who work, study, till the fields, develop new products and medicines and defend Israel from her numerous enemies.The author could have shown pictures of the Amish. Now people will think that "Jews" walk around like they are in 17th century poland.And they need to send us money, because we refuse to work. Get real!

Your comment is totally uncalled for. It's the Charedim you hate so much that give this country its Jewish identity. Grow the hell up.

first, IDF soldiers dont look that way and dont wear such uniform, but thats a small not so importand detail. the main thing is, that you seem to miss the real meening of what he said. he was cynical, implyng they dont serve in the army and dont work. thats all.
