1. The parents don't notice?
NYC Girl   (07.22.12)
While I'm not usually inclined to agree with the beliefs of religious people of any faith, I think that saying these families have so many children they don't realize when one is missing is one of the most offensive comments I've ever heard in a long time. In fact, if it weren't such a serious subject, one would have thought Hanoch Daum was being facetious...but, apparently, not.
2. Daum's statements r outragous & production compmany responsi
rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.22.12)
The production company does edit these programs, hence they allowed statements that are obviously dangerous to be said. They prob left it in to get more attention.
3. CCT what a joke they have NO VALUES
CCrLegalizedPorn ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.22.12)
If there really was a CCT they would have taken HOT and other "creators of programs " off the air long ago. Hot is a purveyor of soft and not so soft porn even injecting it in their promos during programs on the History Channel and National Georgraphicwhere families sit their shocked in the presence of their children. Worse even is the lack of empathy for the public in this situation by the politicians who license them. CCt and other media "regulators" are not only a joke but criminals.
4. An outrageous accusation Daum
Israeli grandma   (07.22.12)
We sent all our children to BA camps over the years, and although the food was pretty awful (not mum's cooking) and living conditions primitive, they had fun and came home safe and sound. (all of them). Hanoch Daum has let his imagination run away with him at the very least when making those scandalous assertions.
5.  Well done Bnei Akiba...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.22.12)
The Haredi ought to defend themselves like that. It might stop the continuous slander of which they are victim .
6. At the very least Bnei Akiva could issue a denial...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.22.12)
... if it's gonna get an apology. We know how government funded programs work in this country. They're not about the services they provide, they're about supposedly providing services but definitely about securing government $$$ and jobs for every administrator and his nephew & mistress.
7. Daum knows well what he is talking about
Noa   (07.22.12)
I don't let my sons go to these field trips.
8. "Religious families have so many children they don't notice"
Babishka ,   USA/Mea Shearim   (07.22.12)
"when one goes missing." Most idiotic statement ever made! Most cases I have heard of, in which parents didn't realize their child was abandoned in a hot car, was an only child or had one sibling. It's because each parent thinks "the other parent" is supposed to be the one taking care of the child. Leiby Klezky Z"L whose first yahrzeit has just occurred, was recognized missing when he failed to meet his parents within 10 minutes! FYI: Bnai Akiva are not Haredi, they are Dati Leumi.
9. Bnei Akiva Loses 440 children
Fortunee ,   Haifa, Il   (07.23.12)
Haredim don't send their children to Bnei Akiva and a part of the program is what is called in the U.S. a shmutz, field trip and everyone has a good time and children don't get lost and there are manhigim. Slander and Lashon Harah are not to be tolerated. It's not censorship.
10. No one can take a joke?
Gedalyah ,   Neve Daniel   (07.23.12)
Seriously, grow a sense of sarcasm.
11. Fake Israeli #5 Bnei Akiva is not Haredi!
Dovid ,   Los Angeles   (07.24.12)
And any Israeli would know that. so you are a fake!
12. 11 David Do you always jump...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.24.12)
like that to conclusions? You misunderstood me. I gave as example the Bne Akiba ,to the Haredi. I know perfectly the difference since i was some time in Bne Akiba and now i am Haredi.
13. Bne Akiva
Nili   (07.24.12)
To say such slanderous things is shameful and to show it on the air is worse. One reason we are faced with such internal hatred is because of ignorant people like Daum of fancy themselves as important. Star? Give me a break--maybe in his bathroom...
