1. Yes indeed hw should have been fired.. bravo to the station
Al   (08.08.12)
Sick and tired of the anti-semitic uber orthoquack dreck parading about as they pretend to represent Judaism. They are not Jews they are impostors. Its time to take back our Judaism from this tinif.
2. Baseless hatred??????
Gill ,   Montreal   (08.08.12)
It is one thing to require Haredim to enlist in the army. It is another to require that ALL Haredim enlist. Not baseless at all.
3. Is he perhaps the son of Yuli Tamir
Abe   (08.08.12)
the ex-Education Minister who wanted to include Naqba in Israeli textbooks to appease the Arabs?

5. Good News!

The station manager did the right thing firing the leftist nut-case; now, the only thing Israel needs to do further, is get rid of all the traitorous leftists' and all who try to, subversively, undermine the State. The leftist' are the true cancer within Israel--period! However, I do believe ALL, able-bodied, Israelis should serve in the military. The responsibility of national service must be borne and respected by all. God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem! Christian Zionist
6. first Zionists were rabbis.
Golan ,   Modiin   (08.08.12)
Kalischer, Alkalai... and Zionism is Judaism. Hertzel was the founder of political Zionism and not Zioinism. He Joined the Zionist movement which already existed and lived in Israel. He opposed illegal immigration of the Bilu. unfortunately the "religious" do not know this because they are more interested in preserving their world view and separatism (originally from goyim but evolved into separatism from other Jews even in the galut.) This is also why the Neturei Karta which was established in 1935 claims it did so after the assassination of De Haan (1932) which they claim took place in 1935 instead of the death of HaRav Kook who died in 1935 which they could not oppose openly. Shame on the dishonesty.
7. #4, Talebearing and slander is a Hillul HaShem.

8. Bygone Era
Joseph ,   London UK   (08.08.12)
This sort of extremism should have ended with the last secular Jewish Yom Kippur dinner dance parties at the turn of the 20th Century. Extreme socialists, communists and secular Zionists once spoke this way about Traditional Judaism -- but the Holocaust ended that era. Today we must work together.
9. Number 2. Sinas chinam/ baseless hatred
Danny ,   London England   (08.08.12)
In the context he is referring to the Churban Bayis Sheni, not to drafting Haredim. There are many opinions on how to do national service for Haredim but ad hominem attacks have no place. Living off charity may have been realistic for Haredim when Israel was a barren Ottoman province, but the world has moved on and Haredim have to consider a variety of options now that they live in a modern state where they can support themselves.

11. radio host fired
ken ,   denver, USA   (08.08.12)
Why don't secular radio host get fired for saying much more hateful things about haredim? Because, as opposed to kol barama, the seculars have zero principles or morals!
12. I hope Eichler is next
(08.08.12)
I hope Eichler is next. The man is obsessed against non-Chareidim and expresses hallucinatory hate stories on air.
13. It wasn't misspeak,but evilspeak.
