Dan ,   Jerusalem-Israel   (06.28.11)
Wow now that is ridiculous. Right or wrong, a Rabbi gets locked up and you threaten to kill your brothers? I'm sure that will work out well. Very healthy, spiritual attitude... most rational people would think twice about taking any life and this guy just throws it out there for all to see. So embarrassing and disgraceful.

33. Recommend a massive show of force by...
Rafi ,   US   (06.28.11)
... the police, Border Guard, and, if necessary, the Army. Set up large detention camps in the Negev for this rabble most of whom have never contributed anything to Israel but grief and parasitism. Let them riot down there for a few days. It's time to break the back of the hooligans. Half-way measures will only invite more problems... Allow their violence to show success and you know where that leads. Meanwhile, this has about as much to do with Torah as Saint Augustine.
34. #8:"who think they can say whatever they want"?
EZ ,   US   (06.28.11)
So, free speech is only for leftist commies who incite racism, cultural genocide through homogeny, "activism" that supports "terrorism" but when a rabbi pushes the envelope you cry foul? In the world of honesty we call that a hypocrite. Your opinion is worthless.
35. Nr 4. This is nor Sarah B. I dont believe that !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.28.11)
36. These Kahanists are monsters.
Dovid ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.28.11)
These are brainwashed, violent, mad cretins with no respect for law, legal authority, the state, or any uniform. They are tearing our beloved nation apart and this government is doing nothing. Our country is in the worst trouble it has ever been in- and the Arabs are the least of our problem. We have these enemies from within destroying us. And we have the international delegitimization this government causes daily. May Hashem save us, because this government will not.
37. #4 probably not Sarah B
grammar police ,   imaginationland   (06.28.11)
Sarah is a bit of a pedant who prides herself on never misplacing an apostrophe. Mistakes include: no period after ''stupid''. ''these days'' is redundant. ''its'' should be ''it's'' There should be a period after the first ''trafficking'', not a comma. ''Rabbis'' does not need a capital ''R''. ''duties'' should be ''duty''. Also Jews usually spell ''God'' as ''G-d'' it seems to me.
38. The undoing of democracy. vive theocracy
Arthur   (06.28.11)
And Israel deserves it. This was a successful display of power (they are right to boast about it). It was also a blatant display of this Govt's stupidity, incompetance,impotance. indeciseveness.----- the morm !!. The rabbis, just like the arabs are taking over the reign of power, and jews, like imbeciles, just sit and watch. Sagregation of the sexes, in the schools, in the buses, at the WALL, at the beach, in theaters, markets, in cemetaries, elimination of buses. THE NEW ISRAEL IN THE MAKING.
39. #1
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.28.11)
I don't think you fully understand how your vitriolic message is bringing us closer to Civil War. Think about it.
40. violence
IlanaB   (06.28.11)
violence, hooliganism, words like scum and other derogatory terms show what kind of people all of you are, including those happy that jews are against jews. That makes you happy? I feel sorry for you. My happiness is derived by far worthier events. Rabbis are people, not G-ds and are not above the law, and not above the torah law. Period.
41. grammar police
IlanaB   (06.28.11)
you need help-you are hung up on nonsense-shame!
42. Incitment to violence is not legal from anyone
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (06.28.11)
Freedom of speech has never covered incitement to violence, just as you can not randomly yell fire in a theater you can not incite people to kill others. The Rabbi made a mistake in thinking he was above the law and refusing to deal with the police when he was politely invited, thus he was treated as any suspect in a violence related crime. These Rabbis need to decide if they are part of the country and both accept the laws, the handouts, and the protection, or not and start refusing all of them.
43. Well now...
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.28.11)
I certainly hope his supporters do not ever complain about Hamas' charter. That'd be quite hipocritical. But, I do wonder, had an Arab threatened violenced - or done what these protesters have done - would he still be alive? Past protests - peaceful, might I add - from Pro-Palestinians has always resulted in deaths and injuries. Just saying.
44. To David from Jerusalem - # 36
Tom   (06.28.11)
Stop reading " Snow White " or " PopEye ". This world of ours is not a make believe garden of eden. Your hashem did not save you at Massada, from the inquisition, from russian pogroms, from Europe nazism; from the killing of 6000 youngsters in 48', and the 1000's in 67 or yom kippur wars. The reason for these blatant omissions ? it never existed, empty, only in your imagination. You are grappling at a non entity, a make believe, a mirage,; rubbing aladdin's magic lamp wont make the genie come out. You want to survive? fight for it. Such is life.These rabbis are tearing the country apart. What are you doing to prevent it, except bitching. Bibi is not bitching
45. Rabbi Dov Lior's arrest
Denis ,   Kfar Saba   (06.28.11)
Damn, I wanna be rabbi and have my own little zombie-army too :)
46. A fanatic, is a fanatic, is a fanatic!!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (06.28.11)
This is not Judaism, nor Zionism, nor common sense, nor lawful! What is labeled as a Rabbi, is nothing more than just another fanatic. The real shame is while these selfish, close-minded zealots spread their fanaticism, our IDF is protecting us from the same Religious zealotry is always bad, regardless of the religion it spawns from. We Israeli's must assert some controls over this kind of Jewish cancer, before we are nothing more than another Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc.....
47. #41 partly you are right but
grammar police   (06.28.11)
Various people here are confused as to whether post #4 is a genuine post by Sarah B or a fake by an imposter designed to sow discord and distress among her fans. I was pointing out the mistakes in the post which suggest it is a fake. Sarah B has a lot of faults but poor grammar is not one of them.
48. Oh you ignorant rightist and leftist thugs
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.28.11)
Feh on both of you! As my bubbie used to say. There is a vocal minority of right-wing religious ignorami who thin that it is ok and halachik to attack the police and break the law of the land if you don't like it. Sorry, dudes, but you're wrong. We're commanded to behave properly and to respect authority. Those Jews who call here to physically attack other Jews and have nothing but hatred in their blood...well, that's hillul Hashem too. For every left-winger who is ready to sell us out to the Arabs, there appears to be a right-winger ready to kill another Jew for some reason or other. And, of course, there are far too many jerks of both persuasions ready to justify the actions of the minority. Shame on all of you.
49. #2 is right!
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (06.28.11)
It is pure hypocrisy to protest against similar language said by Muslims but support a rabbi saying basically the same thing!
50. Did I made aliya to Israel?
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (06.28.11)
One great torah scholar being arressted ,
51. #47 grammar police...
Avi ,   israel   (06.28.11)
Show me one thing in Sarah's post that you disagree with. Other than your stupid grammatical theory. Sarah here is advocating stricter morals for Rabbis, is that wrong? Can you deny the numerous sex scandals in which Rabbis played the leading roles? Can you deny the human organ trafficking or the incitement to violence? I guess not. Then shut the F. up...
52. Jewish Taliban on display...lol
Marco ,   Spain   (06.28.11)
53. That's their "torah" behaviour !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.28.11)
violence , wanted to kill , "nice religion" ! Not obeying STATE laws . He's 80 years old ? casn't he take a taxi as he wants us to do on Shabbat ? Nice "rabbi" , not worth to be called so .
54. The Rasha that ordered the arrest has to go
Norman   (06.28.11)
55. I wholeheartedly SUPPORT...
would-be olim ,   very shortly   (06.28.11)
...Rav Lior, his supporters, support the threat of violence against the so-called Supreme court and Shai Nitzan, too! I won't reveal my name for obvious reaosn, but anything I wrote here is true as per my feelings, intentions and name. I am as radical as almost no one among these guys...
