31. Not everyone is like this
Eli ,   Ramat Beit Shemesh   (12.26.11)
As a "charedi" father living in the city I am outraged by the action of this small group of zealots. They do not represent the normal charedim that live in this city. Please don't group us together. We have good relations with our secular neighbors and mutual respect.
32. #31
IlanaB   (12.26.11)
I am sure there are plenty of decent, torah following chareidim. I am sure you and your family are a part of this decency. Even if I am not religious, I can appreciate and honor those who are. The group of extremists must make G-d very angry. They are like a cult, are a boosha for Jews and Israel and should not be allowed to behave this way. They create hatred among Jews. Whenever I was in a chereidi neighborhood-even in Beit Shemesh,or Ashdod, I was always treated with respect and politeness. We do know the difference. All of us should cry out against these thugs.
33. SEPERATE STATE & RELIGION NOW!!
MOI ,   ICI   (12.26.11)
ISRAEL IS NOT A DEMOCRACY BUT A THEOCRACY, WE ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES....SHAME ON US....THAN G-D I LIVE IN TEL AVIV....
34. Easier than cameras and arrests
Loyal Jew ,   Israel   (12.26.11)
The MOs and seculars in Beis Shemesh can solve this right now by dressing their daughters appropriately. Then, no need for cameras, spitting, arrests, etc.
35. Trust is an attitude....
Israel   (12.26.11)
Lets say there are no radical groups among Israelis. Lets say there are no Haredis groups calling for segregation between women and men, and the most important talkback comments are not reaching for inmortality. Lets say interpretation could be a rule for many religious issues, but not for the duty we have as jews living in the hollyland. Lets say everything you have to know about the smartest seculars jews you ever know was already said. How you will predict what could happen to israeli politics if you are focusing on Haredis mentallity? you better look what is going on around you my dear friends. To be jew and israeli is a priviledge. Shalom

38. Taliban and Harediban, two birds of the same feather
Joseph Blough   (12.26.11)
If the government does not start dealing with these Haredi terrorists harshly, their attempts to use terror to force their dark ages belief system on others will only intensify.
39. Lunatic Asylum
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (12.26.11)
Stop subsidizing these people, they should be in a lunatic asylum
40. #38 Joseph Blough - Non-Pareil
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.26.11)
Haredi aren't burying their opponents up to the neck, then stoning them to death
41. #1... Where would they go? Who would take them in?
(12.26.11)
Do you think the world is like Palestine, where you can just dump your garbage and say it was unoccupied land without a people? TATA
42. # 1..Where would they go? Who would take them in?
Edithann ,   USA   (12.26.11)
Do you think the world is like Palestine, where you could dump your garbage and tell the world it was unoccupied land with no Palestinian people? TATA
43. # 23 Miriam lead the women in song
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.26.11)
and dance, that was before the haredim took over.
44. #24
Russ ,   Philadelphia, PA   (12.27.11)
I see two pictures: the one #2 was looking at (labeled as being from Reuters) and the one you are looking at (taken by 'Naftali'). The first one is embedded in the article for me; the second is in the sidebar. The article itself does not indicate which sign it means.
