I wonder if the assailants weren't Haredim if they'd be released.

Its about time to stop this fanatics and to put them into jail. No releasejustice has to been done right now!

If the authorities do not slam down on these criminals in black hats, then in the future one of these women are going to be armed and there will be a real tragedy on the hands of the police.

is this called justice? a group of 'men' assaults one woman- and those thugs are now free? Humanitarian reasons' what crock- they showed no humanity towards this woman- they acted like beasts- they should be thrown out of the community, they are sick Jews giving the haredi a bad name (another one?). What is it with those fanatics? Why does the community not do or say something? Silence is agreement- so shame on all. They are behaving like outlaws. The court has let the hudlums go- so they are guilty too- they belong in jail together.

That is what I do not understand< how religious people be so obnaxious and brutal?

what kind of "justice" is that. these thugs should be treated the same way as palestinian stone throwers

fanatics who are casting all kharedim in a bad light. You have the small disagreements and provocations, but then you have this other group, these shecharim or whatever they are called who are turning the city into a warzone. THEY have to be dealt with before things get out of hand.

If the Israeli justice system continues to whitewash these criminals, I assure you that many of us will no longer feel a strong connection to Israel. This is not based solely on my opinion, but it is also the opinion of a number of people who care greatly about the State---do something before it is too late...

If these are the ones who attacked the woman then they deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But if they are not? None of us were in court and none of us heard the evidence against these particular individuals. You need a proper legal process to ascertain if these men are criminals or not. Those promoting "modernity" and "Western values" should remember that one of those values is the presumption of innocence. Let the prosecution make its case and the defense test it and then let's see if they are guilty or not.

one. It seems like the Israeli media is making all kharedim seem guilty. I think that if there if there is a guilty party, they most likely belong to that group whose name I keep messing up. Yellow journalism at its finest.

In Israel , the police stay out of hareidi areas which gives rise to feeling of lawlessness. Its always dangerous to drive and be a pedestrian in these areas because their is virtually no law enforcement.

its a ridiculous argument because the vast majority of non-religious american jews have no clue about beit shemesh and the vast majority of religious jews are too connected to israel to care about a few nudnicks. anyway, it is a selectively applied argument since i did not hear much about this when rabin and peres started the who oslo catastrophe. i asked myself then (and i was not alone) why should i care about israel if they are committing suicide anyway. i got over that and realize that stupidity is part of israel and we must live with it.

Henry there is no k in front of the word haredim. Please take note.

You are barking up the wrong tree. Threatening us citizens will not help at all. Bibi has a Facebook accout, you can by all means send your e mail of complaint to him.

No idea why this wasn't published before. I, and some other folks, transliterate khet (ח) as kh.

they will like that

The courts side with the arabs and the hara-dim against us Jews.We need to fire all those involved in the court system and hire Jews that care about their fellow Jews and the state of Israel. We also have to ask ourselves, do we really need the hara-dim here? We must stop giving them money and tax them for avoiding the draft. The same goes for anyone else that did not serve in the security forces.

Israel has justice, this young lady wants some attention she's giving bad name to Jews of Israel. She stated that she was going to die, did they punch and beat her to death or did they have a gun to her head? The answer is clearly NO

you are weird- I guess living in Britain makes you stupid? Does one need to be beaten half to death or be shot to feel threatened? These punks poured bleach over the woman's car, damaged the car- what more evidence do you need? It is a sad day when so called men attack ONE woman while the rest of the congregation is watching in silence- just like it happened in Nazi Germany- and it is starting in Israel too..........

I've seen worst, look at the other countries and then talk, they treat women like s...t have no respect for women, use women to advertise them on TV and magazines, women are like slaves in other countries in Middleast and Europe , stop giving bad names to Jews of Israel.
