31. Dear readers - read the article again!
keren ,   tzafon, Israel   (07.10.11)
You will see that the phones were developed for important ministry officials who happen to be religious. Hard working men and women who risk their eternal souls looking after yours and my security even on their day of rest. This is not a weasel around by haredim. The inventors desreve our gratitude, not our criticism.
32. You weren't sensored, you impatient twit!
Sane person ,   Jerusalem   (07.10.11)
Try waiting a bit before whining next time.
33. It's Good To Act Like A Jew
Rachelle Pachtman ,   New York, US   (07.10.11)
I have no problem with the phone or anything else one needs to observe Shabbat. I do however feel that if you are going to act like a Jew you should support policies of gmilat chesed and Viahavta lireacha kamocha. BB's policies make me ashamed for the state of Israel. Have we forgotten what it's like to be persecuted, beaten in the street and robbed of our rights to own land? Short memory. These are not the values which I was taught in Orthodox yeshivah. The worst is the hatred he foments against Israel and all Jews.
34. Has your home phone ever caught fire?... Mine neither.

a plant cut from his root survive?
36. Kosher Telephones!!!
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (07.13.11)
What next? A special house in Caesarea for his "boys" is not enought now "kosher phones" - what does he need them for on Shabbat that could not be discussed the day before - Shabbat is a day of rest!!!!!!
37. Batphone
Jeffrey Brock ,   Knoxville Tn   (07.13.11)
Did you ever hear of the Bat-Phone? It is a unique device that would benefit the PM and his Royal Advisers on the Shabbat and make sure no one does something stupid. All one does is pick it up and start talking... WOW, I am cracking myself up writing this. Why does he need a Rabbi to tell him what he can or cannot do on the Sabbath? I think Bibi already knows what's allowed or not. We all have Torah to consult if we forget.... not a Rabbi.
