31. He was indicted but set free !?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.29.11)
32. I prefer...
Castor Troy ,   Los Angeles-USA   (12.29.11)
to share a bus with nice girls like Doron, than with ugly and aggresive yehsiva students like Mr Fuchs and his ilk !
33. The girl is cute
Shalom ,   australia   (12.29.11)
leave her alone.. these hardim's are becoming like the muslims?
34. Haredim
Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.29.11)
I know many Haredim who are good, updating citizens and do not break the law. It is not good to stereotype all Haredim because of the actions of a few. Individuals are responsible for their own behavior, just as you and I are responsible for our own behavior.
35. 3 cheers for Doron, and a kick in the ass for Fuchs !
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (12.29.11)
I would like to have so pretty soldiers in my base !
36. and the Haredi is uggly.
Ralph   (12.29.11)
37. Maybe it is time to expel Haredi from Jewish peoplei
Sidney ,   USA   (12.29.11)
It is a radical notion but aren't their values as different from ours as the Samaritans? They mistreat women, avoid any education unrelated to their version of Torah, refuse to defend the Jewish people against existential threats, and live on welfare paid for by the people they refuse to defend. Let their Knesset members be regarded the same as the Arabs.
38. Fuchs needs a fuching job
Richard ,   Boca Raton   (12.29.11)
GET THE FUCHS OFF THE BUS!! What FUCHS needs is a fuching job so he will realize how the rest of Israel feels about work and supporting a family.
39. Brave girl
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.29.11)
Good for her.
40. #23 Halacha details?
Stam   (12.29.11)
1. Since you cite religious law, tell us exactly what is the exact wording of the Halacha that specifically states that women have to sit in the back of the bus? What about planes? 2. Which Sefer, which page etc. is that Halacha written in? Also tell us who are each of the individual talmideh ch'ach'amim who rendered this Psak Din? 3. When did that Psak Din occur? It would be a great mitzvah and you would be greatly "mezakeh et harabim" if you could provide the same information to all the rabbis worldwide so they too could tell their kehilot about this critically important Halacha. By the way this is the only proper spelling for "provocateur"... not like in your post.
41. Haredi
Freedom   (12.29.11)
bring this " man " to justice, jail him and throw the keys away. He can find his freedom in Iran not ibn Israel as we are a free nation where women and men are having the same rights.
42. Doron Matalon - well done to you girly!
Talula ,   Israel   (12.29.11)
You are beautiful and strong with inherent values - I bet your mama is proud of you! I know I would be if you were mine. Pity the degenerate haredim don't have the same. Filthy lot they are.
43. This is insane
Abba ,   Rehovot, Israel   (12.29.11)
I think this guy and guys like him are schmucks that give us all a bad name, and I'm all for them theirs by fellow passengers (woop a-s that is), but to be arrested for sexual assault? Yet another twist in this twisted system of justice. I'm wondering if the court and police would be as active for equal rights in a situation where a woman called a guy, a prick, wanker, dog, or homo, or how about disgusting? Could he then file a complaint and get the women indicted for sexual assault as well? I doubt it. where do we draw the line, does an act have to be implied? Or is simply mentioning a sexual body part enough?
44. Lucky Fuchs
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (12.29.11)
If I was traveling in that bus and that girl was my sister he would be now recuperating in intensive care .
45. Justice #6#
Ruben Jacobi ,   UK   (12.29.11)
You say these horrible people have to be dealt, what do suggest hanging them or blinding them,these are cheap means,as you seem to think that courts are too expensive to issue a due process, maybe Israel should get rid of it,s wonderful army this cost money as well.
46. #23#
Ruben Jacobi ,   UK   (12.29.11)
And all he had to ,was to behave in a normal manner, and perhaps takes some lessons in to conduct ones self in the real world.
47. Do women on thses segregation buses
meghan ,   israel   (12.29.11)
travel free??? Dont you have to pay the driver on Egged buses like all buses? How do the women manage on a seggy bus, or do they have someone taking fares at the "backdoor".?
48. Solution. Haredim pay for private transport
Jo   (12.29.11)
Why does egged have to provide such services?
49. Fuchs-The Klumnik's CHUTZPA !
Emanuel ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.29.11)
This Zero of a men, should be sentensed to at least ONE year in jail if the country wants to correct the deteriorating Democracy in Israel,and stop the leaches from sucking the life out of the country,
50. born as to be her son
GG   (12.29.11)
If there is a birth for me after my death, i would like to be born as this Girl's son. Way to go Ms. Doron Matalon.
51. "Shiksa"
NYC Girl   (12.29.11)
Since when is the term "shiksa" a slut? Isn't it simply the term for a non-Jewish female? I remember that my friend's uncle often called me "the little shiksa" because people used to think I was Irish...and he certainly wasn't calling me a slut when I was still in elementary school. But having said that, by mistakenly claiming that the word shiksa was used to describe a slut, it reinforces some of the mistaken notions that Jews use what are actually rather benign words because they are anti-Christian. It's the same thing with the term goy...which is Yiddish for a non-Jew without being pejorative unless somebody wants to use it that way...and isn't that the same thing with the word Jew? Maybe the fact that this religious fanatic used it with that disgusting venomous attitude makes it seem that it was an insult. But perhaps getting himself arrested will make him think twice the next time...although I tend to doubt it.
52. girl is hero because she serves
moron ,   galut   (12.29.11)
nothing to do with women's 'rights' which is 'b.s.' anyway..the men should ride in the back and the women in front--then they will have separation and only leftists will keep on complaining
53. #4
Natan   (12.29.11)
Sorry to burst yout bubble but most religous jews object this kind of behavior. And yes Judaism is a great religion because this issue will be dealt in a civilized way
54. #23 Provocation is it?
(12.29.11)
And was that 8 year old little girl provoking when that disgusting excuse for a person spat on her? Israel is a democracy not a jewish taliban state! Live with it!
55. To N 1, Mr's Sarah B
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, BrazilT   (12.29.11)
Dear Mr's Sarah B. I congratulate you for your comment. Israelian women, that have fought side by side with men, and are so patriotic, are being humiliated by religious fundamentalists that endorse a male oppression on the way of islamic countries or christian ones during Middle Age. I may desagree from you about some political issues but you know I love the State of Israel, her democracy and her humanism. Recommend me to your husband. A happy new year (christian calendar) for you.
56. Despicable act
Aussi Israeli ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.29.11)
Totally despicable act by the Haredi man. Despicable on two accounts: 1) aggression against a woman, and 2) disrespect for a soldier of the Israeli Army. And all this from a man who belongs to a "religious group" that does not even believe in the State of Israel but is happy to live here and receive benefits.
57. NICE to see a little bit o justice
Naftules ,   Jerusalem   (12.29.11)
58. Democracy?!
Dan ,   Brooklyn   (12.29.11)
I may not agree with the guy, but seriously, you call a girl a slut and you get arrested for sexual assault?! Thank god I do not live in Israel; in the USA we have freedom of speech.
59. #9 Bob: Israel is not a theocracy
Yitz ,   ISRAEL   (12.29.11)
If it were, this lout would not have been arrested. What we do have is a problem where a fundamentalist and intolerant religious minority wants to impose their lifestyle on the rest of us. But, as a democracy we the non-haredi majority of Israel won't let that happen.
60. NYC Girl 51 . The two terms were used .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.29.11)
When someone call's a girl a Shikse it's not always pejorative . All depends how and who said it . My sister ZL called her daughter "shiksele" , she was a blond haired little girl . But generally this is pejorative . I prefer Non Jewish .
