1. Haredi boy and haredi father
Jew ,   Jerusalem   (01.01.12)
The father that has put a yellow star on his son is a criminal and has dishonored his own son.
2. livni's incitement
joe sombrero ,   usa   (01.01.12)
Boundarys? There was a oped by a ynet writer calling for Civil War and basically which in essence called for Genocide. I am secular but that is wrong and this campaign is not about Heridi but its about the US Kadima and Luvni trying to overthrow Bibi.
3. yankelism enough
marcel   (01.01.12)
Israel in case you forgot it, is a wonderful country built by all or most of its people. Whatever problems there are minor compared to the past. haredi and all of them and other idf avoiders have to go into the idf and do their duty just like the son of a former PM. No excuses unless severe medical restriction exists. Wearing the yellow patch iin Israel is wrong, and harms the entire country. Don't play games with Israel. I wo9uld advise feiglin to march forward with his campaign but think if he wants to saddle israel with light unto nations which has caused many problems more than it has helped. But asserting israel nationhood is important and you can do it especially with so many MKs who don't.
4. when will Israel just send ALL people
rachel ,   chutz4now home again   (01.01.12)
no matter what "cloth" who do not: 1. Honour the State and its laws 2. Support our Army and law enforcement .....when will they be asked if you are with me stay, if you are not GO! i am dati. i have friends who are very much not. but we AGREE with getting rid of all who try to split Am Yisrael and destroy!
5. PS...these "people" who use children
rachel ,   chutz4now home again   (01.01.12)
as dress up dolls...and do so in the MOST offensive way! This is child abuse! ALSO...these "people" have NO idea what oppression is!!! Let them go live in places where "they" are TRULY oppressed!
6. the perpetrators of this act are
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (01.01.12)
criminal insane.
7. oh god
Michael ,   West Jerusalem/NY   (01.01.12)
These people do know that they are just going to infuriate more Israelis by doing this right? Its good that they are against segregation and violence, but they should've went to the rally in Beit Shemesh to reassure most people that this is a miniotity
8. use of holocaust symbols is wrong.
peter42y ,   lisbon,portugal   (01.01.12)
This is pretty obvious . Holocaust was the end of the road for millions.It is not like the beating of a few thousands.The only events in the 20 century that can be compared with the holocaust was the killing or armenians by turkey and Rwanda genocide
9. The violance, insults must stop once for all!
Anshel ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.01.12)
There must be better way to resolve the issues between the Jews in haredi neighborhoods. Cooler heads must prevail, insults and violence must stop and respect for a Jewish woman, a Jewish man must adhered to. The word is watching and the antisemites are rejoicing the actions of few.
10. valuable advice
JOE ,   USA   (01.01.12)
if you love your country ISRAEL,bottle up your haredim .END.
11. Haredi use of Holocaust stars of David
Isaac S. ,   East Windsor, USA   (01.01.12)
Israel could no less that Germany and pas a law that anyone who invokes the Holocaust for the purpose of promoting hate should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. For God fearing folks to resort to this behavior is CHILUL HA'SHEM . Shameful, no other word for it.
12. a massive failure of education
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.01.12)
how can we expect the non-jews to understand the shoah, when we have failed to educate our own people? when these people can trivialize the nazi persecution, by comparing it to life in israel, there is a very serious problem in the education that these people have received!
13. Let those that forced the kids to wear
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.01.12)
the Holocaust symbols, put a bulls eye on their own chests in order that they can be separated from the rest of humanity Children in the photo looked too well fed, they should have starved them first in order that the photo would have looked more realistic
14. Chardim rabbis should be speaking out LOUDLY about those who
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.01.12)
spit on little girls and call female soldiers names. Put down the few radical crazies and the rest of chardim will have respect.
15. This is going to far! whats next?
Maxim ,   ISRAELOAMERICAN   (01.01.12)
It is despicable! outrageous and ugly crazy!...What in the hell is wrong with these people? To the Haredim responsible for this terrible crime. Keep your beautiful children out of it you bunch of psychos!!! You should be all locked up in a giant loony institution for good.
16. Hilonim and Haredim
Joe ,   Newtown USA   (01.01.12)
V'ahavta l'rea'acha ka'mocha.... Zeh k'llal gadol B'Torah.... You are "throwing" away the baby, and concentrating on the bath water....
17. This is one time
Joe ,   Newtown USA   (01.01.12)
Tzipi has a valid point...
18. This is so Discussting !!!
Texan /Israeli   (01.01.12)
19. Does Israel have Child Protection Services?
Simon ,   Lincoln, Nebraska   (01.01.12)
If the government does not take custody of these children it will lose much credibility. These children must go to foster care, and the parents' reproductive ability must be terminated.
20. palestinians
yoel   (01.01.12)
when the palestinians scream "holocaust" and wear camp clothes, the secular left, including livni, are proud of them!!
21. Holocaust symbols...
patrick a .hammel ,   zermatt,switzerland   (01.01.12)
Sometimes we are appaled by the lack of knowledge non-jewish people have about what happened to the Jewish people during the second WW.Sometimes we are flabbergasted by the comparisons used by antisemitic lowlifes between the holocaust and the Palestinians plight.Sometimes we are dazled by those who deny the holocaust ever happened.But the most atrocious feeling is definitely generated by these Jewish unmenschen daring to use holocaust symbols to attract attention to their lost cause!!!They ought to be sent to Gaza to join the other scum of this planet!!!
22. Haredi anti-semitism
Eddie ,   UK   (01.01.12)
The violence was perpetrated by the extremist hareidim against Jews in Bet Shemesh. So does this make the haredim the true anti semites?
23. Jewish ONENESS: BIG ISRAEL, freedom OF and FROM religion.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (01.01.12)
24. Leave the Haredim alone. They are the spiritual backbone...
Jake ,   USA   (01.01.12)
...on the great nation of Israel. Let them be.
25. #24 - We would love to leave them alone
Ehud   (01.01.12)
Unfortunately, we have to pay for their self-chosen lifestyle of 'poverty' and protect them without any contribution of their own. They are not the backbone, but a burden which brakes our back. After spitting at 8 year old girls calling them "whores" and segregating women to the back of the bus THEY now claim to be "persecuted"? We don't hate them, but we sure want to vomit over so much bigotry. And we sure won't tolerate neither violence against children nor suppression of women, nor lawlessness. So, of they want to be left alone they will have to adapt .
26. Haredi street
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.01.12)
The Haredi street is looking more and more like the Arab street - Gaza, Tehren. Indoctrination of children against, using them as political symbols, teaching them hate and intolerance. Why do we even tolerate these people? The majority of Haredi might indeed be against these extremists; if so, why the hell aren't they letting their voices be heard? Why aren't they standing up en masse and denouncing them? they're the ones who can root out this evil in their midst.
27. #19 Child Protection
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.01.12)
Yes, we have child protection laws, social services,e tc. However, the government is surely too scared of the Haredim (read: coalition crisis) to take their kids away.
28. #24
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.01.12)
These extreme haredim are definitely NOT the spiritual backbone of the nation!!!! OK for you in the US to preach to us.
29. This is absolutely offensive in every way..
Leslie ,   Ashkelon Israel   (01.01.12)
This is the nail in the coffin for me, These haredi are insane. No doubt in my mind now at all.
30. denouce
colin   (01.01.12)
Rabbi Josef avadia deplores the datim that are becoming nazi criminals -BUT he is the first person to start this action off the parasites, Avadia hopes to gain more money That is what the whole dati actio against the circular is all about.
