31. Whats going on with these Haredis lately?
Alan ,   SA   (01.02.12)
32. the man is an idiot
zionist forever   (01.02.12)
Whilst this sort of thing cannot be permitted and radicals like this idiot needed to be brought under control. At the same time as believing the radicals must be controlled if this was an official segregated bus ( of which there are some ) then the woman should have known that the rules are different than on a mixed bus so its understandable why this guy felt provoked. If it was supposed to be mixed bus and the haredi were illegally operating a policy of segregation then the case here is not did he call a woman names its why are mixed busses being illegally segregated? As for this guy having sympathy with the haredi and their Holocaust stunt, its because of radicals like him that the persecution of haredi is higher than ever.
33. america tried to solve a simular problem
Robert ,   NY USA   (01.02.12)
but found that unruley punks, criminals and trouble makers actually prefer to sit in the back of the buses. Also, the law abieding even wished for a wall to divide the sections. The name calling goes far beyond slut to occasional beatings and stabbings. Believe it or not, either a bus full of Haredi, or an IDF on board would solve the problem rather than create one.
34. Then get off the PUBLIC bus!! Shnorr up your own buses.
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.02.12)
35. Look at the little cry Baby
Michael ,   West JErusalem/NY   (01.02.12)
Trying to make himself the victim here, its not working.
36. "provocatively" means just being there to this bigot
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.02.12)
37. #7, I doubt he has a computer to read YNet and so he most
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.02.12)
likely will not see, nor will he respond to, your comment.
38. "Shiksa"
Aaron Kuperman ,   Baltimore, USA   (01.02.12)
According to some other sources, the word he used was a Yiddish word that refers to a female non-Jew, and is frequently used as an insult for a Jew who is alledged to be acting not according to Torah. The sexual meaning was present in some extinct dialects of secular Yiddish, but it never had the sexual meaning in the surviving orthodox dialects of Yiddish.
39. these men should hire private bus company for men only and
ralph   (01.02.12)
pay for it themselves. not public tax payer.
40. sigh
rm ,   Amsterdam NL   (01.02.12)
Maybe this man would be better of go and living in Saudi Arabia....seems he likes the way women are treated there.
41. Fuchs is projecting..
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.02.12)
Great this straight, Matalon protects him and he's the one on a 24/7 freebie. So his studying protects her? That which he does all day....!?! How deluded is that?....Wow, he even sang the Hatikva, ONCE! Oh puleeze..if this A'jad lookalike isn't a parasite, then my name's graczek
42. A man from another planet
amazed ,   Jerusalem   (01.02.12)
He claims he is haredi. He claims that he studies from morning to midnight and have 12 children (When does he see them?) He claims that a woman in an autobus with men is like a woman that enters the gents bathroom (is he thinking in the possibility of urinating in a bus?). He claims that his studies protect the world from danger. But who could protect us from such a protector? He claims and claims. Where is his Rabi?, What the rabi says after this serious incident and so abominable justification?
43. He is right.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (01.02.12)
There is prejudice against Haredim in Israel ,sometimes more than there is in diaspora. This should not happen. Respect is a must. I donĀ“t know if all Haredim did the army,it would be different. This prejudice against brothers must be erradicated. It is very bad for all.
44. Will everyone grow up and stop this crap?
Al   (01.02.12)
The real enemy is ready to pounce on you and tear you to shreds and all you can do is piss all over yourselves. Grow up... Jeez are you people stupid...

Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (01.02.12)
47. Learning, learning, learing.....but
Next level please ,   Israel   (01.02.12)
never coming to an understaning of the law. Torah (how you behave and treat others) is something to be LIVED not studied.
48. Is the word "slut" used in Hebrew?
Anthony David Marks ,   Jerusalem   (01.02.12)
Did the incident on the bus take place in English or Hebrew? The word "slut" is an English word. I was unaware it is also used in Hebrew.
49. She protects me? I sit at shul from eight in the morning til
SHARON ,   ISRAEL   (01.02.12)

50. That's no lady, she's a soldier in Hashem's IDF.
tzina ,   Tel Aviv   (01.02.12)
Never forget you silly man, Hashem's IDF are the only thing stand between you and Hamas. So tell every soldier you have just insulted: you are sorry.
51. Fuchs
Jerry ,   USA   (01.02.12)
Pretty women always provoke men no matter what. It is not his fault and not her fault. He would quickly develop some safe zone around himself if he was a Hareidi who lived in New York. Within the community one set of behaviors apply. In public places, another. Mr. Fuchs needs to ride a bike to Yeshiva, rather than expect to impose Islamic ways on the society as a whole. Moreover, he could have thought of dozens of appropriate anecdotes or legal principles to prevent him from embarrassing another human being, all from the contents of his studies. Not the least of these is that embarrassing someone is an offshoot (vaguely similar) to murder. Instead, there was a rapid emotional exchange - just like all humans.
52. We are living in 2012 not 10000 BC
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (01.02.12)
The provocateurs are those Haredim who want to segragate public buses. That girl is doing her job in the army, and that man has no rigth to call her by names for standing where she will in a public place.
53. they BOTH protect us
Jewish Zionist ,   ISRAEL   (01.03.12)
The women is physically proteecting us while the maan helps spiritually - which is significant. Although I do not agree with thee fact he doesn't support his family. Finallyy what torah law is it that men should not stand amongst women? Judaism teaches equality we are no better then women, or non jews - and if you believe so you are corrupting Judaism. Ask any great rabbi annd he will agree
54. He is 44 years old.
yaacovic   (01.03.12)
Surely he remembers a time when women were treated as equals in Israel. There was a time not too long ago, when women could sit anywhere on a public bus without being harassed.
55. So He Can Lie, That's OK ?
yaakov ,   TA   (01.03.12)
Plainly he thinks he is better than the female soldier involved, and feels free to lie about what happened. So the "holy" man twists religion to suit his own needs. It's a disgrace, and like zealots across the world, he has no regard for those differnet than him--it's Judaism twisted into a meaningless state... meaningless...
56. 28
(01.03.12)
you are one very sick man.
57. #48 you have a point
chaim   (01.03.12)
it is incitement to translate it as slut. it simply ain't what the man said. be careful on which side of the bandwagon you jump.
58. Sue him in civil court.
naro ,   byc   (01.02.12)
Every time they attack a woman they need to be sued. The loss of money will be strongly felt.
59. So He Can Lie, That's OK ?
yaakov ,   TA   (01.03.12)
Plainly he thinks he is better than the female soldier involved, and feels free to lie about what happened. So the "holy" man twists religion to suit his own needs. It's a disgrace, and like zealots across the world, he has no regard for those differnet than him--it's Judaism twisted into a meaningless state... meaningless...
60. Fuchs: SHE needs to forgive YOU! not the other way around.
