31. # 24 under cover?
abe ,   new york, usa   (12.28.11)
Your ignorance is appalling. These people do not wonder nor care if the person is a cop, soldier, or a commonfolk.
32. PLEASE STOP THE HAREDI BASHING
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.28.11)
This woman deliberately provoked them ,she was looking to start a fight.lIVE AND LET LIVE AND STOP THE CONSTANT AND BORING DENIGRATION OF THE HAREDIM .
33. #18 it certainly is a big deal
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (12.28.11)
Why should we lower ourselves to the level of accepting that men insult women openly under the guise of "freedom of speech". That's not freedom of speech, that's called lowering your society to the level of thugs. We obviously have higher standards here in aretz kodesh. We want haredi men to live up to it too. Freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to personally insult people in the street.
34. Just remember the name/face of that haradi insulter
William ,   Israel   (12.28.11)
and in the next terror attack, be sure not to protect him. This Israeli soldier does 1000x more for the country and all its citizens than this selfish haradi jerk off. Not that all haradi act in this way but perhaps the extremist community needs to feel what its like without the protection of the State in order to appreciate it. As they say - you never know what you have until its gone.
35. #6 - I don't doubt that, Talula
William ,   Israel   (12.28.11)
Infact, the best way to address this issue is put a handful of combat hardened women soldiers on this bus route and stay at the front of the bus. The first person to utter a slur get his head knocked off. Case closed.
36. #18 - let the New Yorkers act like barbarians
William ,   Israel   (12.28.11)
we choose to not follow their precedent. And we do not choose to accept a cursing of another person as "freedom of speech". If you'd like to test your argument, go to a NYPD officer and call him that. Report back with details. We prefer to have a society where rights and respect are for all citizens and not held by a limited group. Demanding her to sit anywhere on the bus is an infringement.
37. #32, where in the article does it say that? It says she went
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.29.11)
to the front to pay the bus driver. That's not provokative behaviour in the least. You can pass money forward on a sherut, but not a bus. Of course, she could have just shown him her card.
38. #36, please don't put us all in the same basket. There are a
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.29.11)
lot of uncivilised people in our city, but we're not all like that.
39. #29, but how do you know it is not a crime in their country?
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.29.11)
Israel's law code is based on that of the British and so there might be provisions in their dealing with this sort of thing that don't exist in the law code of New Jersey.
40. #9 'Even for women!'
SMJ ,   York, UK   (12.28.11)
Right. That's you nailed. Even if you don't wear a silly hat in reality, you do in your soul. "Hey, we treat our slaves well, here."
41. Disgusting abominable behaviour
Hilda ,   USA   (12.29.11)
What is the diffeence between this disgusting behaviour and tat of Muslims who keep their women down. Israel to become a copy of their prehestoric bias? Israel should put an immediate end to this. Israel is not Mea Shaearim. It also includes, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Elat. We are all Jews Let us behave as brothers not antagonists. or worse
42. #38 - I know, I know
William ,   Israel   (12.29.11)
I have many friends in NYC. My response was just a direct comment to the putz in Brooklyn. Sorry to sound disparaging to all of you New Yorkers.
43. Army Girl
Daromi ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.29.11)
Didn't they teach her anything in the IDF? She should have decked him.
44. Matityahoo (hareidim) war has begun
Eliyahoo Navi LaShem ,   USA   (12.29.11)
Matityahoo (haraidim) war has begun against the mityavnim (secular) this Hanukah 5772. GO AHEAD FULL FORCE.
45. I just tore apart page 4 of Kabbalat Shabbat
Jerome ,   Auckland   (12.29.11)
Eshet Hayil Mi Yimtza is no longer in my book. It was written by hypocritical fanatics so called religious pious Jews who don’t believe a word they wrote. Saves me 10 minutes of Kabbalat Shabbat. Kiddush and straight to dinner. Yummmm.
46. These so called orthodox Jews should be made to walk...
EST ,   Miami USA   (12.29.11)
If they are not willing to share PUBLIC transportation on an equal footing with everyone then they should walk! Problem solved! They are a disgrace to Israel. They don't serve in the army, they don't work ...all they know is take, take, take...enough is enough!!!Plenty of decent orthodox Jews in Israel...but this sect should have their funding stopped, their children removed - as they won't be able to provide for them...and the cycle will be broken! Should they riot..let them go to jail!
47. #11
Talula ,   Israel   (12.29.11)
I'll friggen make him cry all the way home!!!
