What the hell has it come to when men run off and allow their women to be rapec?? The assailants didn't even use weopons!! The dates should be disgusted with themselves!

Little cowards!

When women want to be the boss and men are accused of rape whatever they do, these are the results: Cowardly, feminate men who are for the most part cuckolds. It is called the civilizing of men by women!

to happen!

Don't talk nonsense and blame the cowardly acts of these "men" on women who want to be the boss. I've never heard so much rubbish in all my life. Its got nothing to do with women, and everything to do with cowardice.

They DIDN T FEAR to run away. Seriously,isn t something missing in the education of boys? Maybe less television and more Tora values. Dating before marriage degrades the physical relationship and may be, for the boys it is not such a big deal to share their girl with somebody else.I don t think that a husband would allow his wife to be raped. Change people s values and you will change everything.

wireless telephone that people can carry on their belts or in pocketbooks to call for help. When didn't the two "men" return with rocks or large sticks to hit the attackers with? The names, addresses and pictures of these two alleged men should be shown as well as the attackers. Or was this a set up by the men? This story stinks!

and I shall say it again. The first rapist in Israel to have his pecker put on the chopping block, will be the last one.

As sure as the sun sets in the east the men were Arabs.

A rapist is a rapist! They are NOT true men. They are cowards and as such I agree with # 8.

Were the two dates also beduin?

Ora, Suggesting that people who are not haredi and have physical relationships before marriage are more likely to be fine with their women being raped is absolutely disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting such a thing. This is not an issue of Torah values, you're just using it to make yourself feel better as if it couldn't happen in your community. These women were brutalized, and their dates were cowards. It could have just as easily happened in the frum community.

I personally believe rapists should be castrated, and NOT chemically! In addition, it situations where the "dates" run away and don't protect their women, they should be tried as accomplices to the rape.

i would suggest you clean up your own home, as you seem to be under the impression that religious people dont commit crimes of a sexual nature. How about starting with the ex president Katsav and going on from there? How strange im not religious i have a tv and the only crime ive ever committed was a parking ticket, Oh well there goes that theory.

please explain how one man overpowered two women long enough to rape them, individually, and they are only lightly shaken. cmon.

We weren't there, so this article is telling part of the story. However, how does any man allow someone else to dictate what they should or shouldn't do with their women? If they truly abandoned their women to later be raped, they need to be held accountable for allowing it to happen. Did they even contact the police? Please follow up and report more FACTS about this incident, thanks.

and I couldn't agree with you more. No matter who they were (women).

These guys just ran off and didn't try to defend their dates? I can see if the rapists had weapons, but THEY DIDN'T!!

Its time for you to grow up Ora. Start to think outside the box. Your ideas are very warped.

wait until you find out what chased the dates away. the rapists may not have had weapons, but how do you know that no one knew that at the time?

When I raped many decades at age 14 and again at age 16 (many decades ago), I was living dangerously. I would dress up provocatively but no more... Alas those days are gone.

Castrate offenders starting with Katsav and ask women to dress less provocatively...

Being raped themselves? Who could guarantee them at the time that the rapists were not BI-SEXUAL?

Re-read the article. There was more than one rapist.

You give the religious a bad name with your very irritating holier than others attitude.

No one knows what happens, but the dates were probably high school kids, they parked their cars near an Arab village, and although there were only two rapists, they probably were older criminal who had knives. The boys did the only thing they could: run away to avoid being murdered and look for police who weren't busy eating donuts. But the real problem is the Arab supremacists in the AG and courts. Any Jew who defends himself (a soldier a civilian, on either side of the Green Line) faces the full weight of "legal" persecution. You defend yourself, they will jail you and end your life. The Israeli courts and prosecutors are like Goldstone and believe that a Jew has no right of self defence. Look at what happened to Arik Karp: he walked along the beach, Arabs violently ended his life and the court didn't see that as murder.

I still think that a husband would not so easily run away. Marriage, is meant to ensure more strength and selfless love to the relation. I was not promoting religion,given that there are more secular than orthodoxe married couples.

.... are not, needless to say, mine.
