2. So Wrong!
Josh   (05.09.11)
Numbering? Are you kidding me. We are numbering people with a hollocaust number? I thought Jews were numbered without consent in camps. It was a cursed time. Do I really want a badge of pride in my pocket that I have a holacuast stamp on my ID? I bless the G-d of our nation that such numbering never happens to me and now an oppressive ID wants me to have an hollocaust ID number to prove I am a Jew/Israeli? There is an irony to choose death attitudes and a desire to number our own people. What side are we on?! Pure racist arrogance and trampling on the graves of the lost. What about the goyim that died? What about those who stood against Hitler and said this is wrong and died? COUNT ALL THE DEATHS if you are going to number me with such. I don't want to be a racist and ignore the other unrighteous deaths if I am going to look down at such a number on my face picture and a chip with my fingrprints on it!
3. A ramp up to what is to come or history?

4. How many cultures have something to do with death on an ID?
Joel   (05.09.11)
Next a cross or gravestone. G-gamor idea.
5. If yo're going to sugar coat a government ID, what's up?
Bob   (05.09.11)
Really? What is the true reason for this separate number?
6. A Rabbi did not come with this idea
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.09.11)
The Tora is about life.
7. Oh, I thought the ID numbers will be those
Chaim   (05.09.11)
their ancestors had tattooed on their arms. That would be a good idea. At least those who are ashamed of their Jewish heritage will remember that they're Jewish.
8. Stupidity knows no bounds
Sagi   (05.09.11)
Giving Jews a number is bad enough, although I realize the necessity for an ID card in the country and under the circumstances in which we live, but to give Jews a number with connotations to the Holocaust is downright ignorant and shows that that some are impervious to the feelings of others. I suggest that this idiotic plan be condemned by all Holocaust survivors and organizations, by all Ministers and in fact by all and sundry. May it be shelved and forgotten as quickly as is possible.
9. u people u always have something bad to say.. shut up or
Ester   (05.09.11)

10. Is there no limit to the nonsense?
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (05.09.11)
Are Blacks in America to be issued social security cards with chains imprinted on them? Are the citizens of Ireland to have ID cards in the shape of potatoes to commemorate the great famine? Or are the cheap theatrics something that only we, Jews, have to suffer at the hands of our leaders-clowns?
11. I sincerely hope
Sagi   (05.10.11)
that some organization or some individual applies for an injunction or even asks for a ruling by The Supreme Court.
12. 11 Sagi

This Don Quichotte enterprise could be excellent for a journalist with some sense of humor,who looks for a good subject.
13. ORA # 12
Sagi   (05.10.11)
Yes indeed, but the Holocaust is not a subject for humor.
14. 13 you are right,Sagi
ORA ,   JERUSALEM.   (05.10.11)

Jews developped their sense of humor in the worst circumstances. Tristan Bernard when he was arrested said: Till now i was anxious,from now on i can hope. Laughing is a Jewish way not to cry. Have a nice day,Sagi..
