31. Now, now....let's be civil here.
Froike ,   NY NY   (03.04.12)
The majority of Reform Jews are not Anti Semitic....Though they might be ignorant of Torah Judaism and in denial of the precepts of Judaism....I don't think they are outright Anti Semites. We should give them the benefit of the doubt and treat them as "Shogegs" and pray for their return.
32. Anti-semites??
Kim   (03.04.12)
I don't recall hearing of any Reform Jews defacing the synagogues of others - or for that matter - the churches. The Reform Shul in Ra'anana was defaced by religious youths some time ago, just because it was Reform. Who is your anti-semite there???
33. Reform are the American version of the Murranos of Spain
(03.04.12)
These American versions of the Murranos of Spain can creep around with their Jewish tail between their legs in America. Here in Israel they feel free to be loud because they aren't disturbing the goyim (shh!). It upsets them to see that they are nobodies here, that in Israel there is no need for Jews to keep a low profile and apologize for looking and acting like Jews. Here you can practice Judaism as much or as little as you like but we don't go around calling it by another name ("Reform", "Conservative", etc.) -- "We've reformed, we're like YOU, we're not "TOO Jewish", we're not ALL OUT JEWS so don't hate us, we've reformed, we're moderate conservative Jews...okay?" *wimper*) Jews of all kinds have a place in Israel. "Reform" doesn't.
34. Eichler may have been indelicate in phrasing, but 100% right
(03.04.12)
The rate of assimilation in America is about 80% now, I believe. Reform has played a decent role in the decimation of the American Jewish populace and now they'd like to add their warped sensibilities to Israel? It's like the audacity of people slowly polluting and destroying the Earth and then trying to devise ways to find other habitable planets to begin destruction anew! Reform is an American disease, a spiritual ebola that leaves the shell of Judaism while liquifying and cannibalizing its innards -- it should be quarantined there, not invited to speak in the Knesset!
35. #19 - And can you tell me who is Jewish and who's not?
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (03.05.12)
36. GOD IN CONTROL
LISA ,   POLAND   (03.06.12)
GOD HAS CONTROL OF ALL THE KENNEST PALAMENT MEMBERS SO THEY CAN GET ALONG.
37. Vladimir # 26 - What a load of tripe
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (03.07.12)
I was interested to see that my son, a third generation reform Jew, who is a combat officer in the IDF does not exist - It will be destressing for him to find out - I suppose you won't find too many third generation Haredi IDF Combat officers. I depends who you call reform - the biggest reformers are the Haradim - who have reformed the ten commandments down to eight.
38. Taxpayer , # 37
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
This vladimir is , as far i know someone who embraced Judaism after years in his secular homeland . Those ikind of people are the WORSE of all , with the FAKE converts as challengers for their extremism .
39. Israel Eichler
Ram Kossowsky ,   Pittsburgh, USA   (03.09.12)
These kind of repugnant abuses and prejudicial rejection will continue, and become even worse, as long as the "haredi" are entrusted with dominant politics power. It is time that religion is erased from Israeli politics for good
