31. There Will Come A Time...
yaakov ,   TA   (08.16.12)
When the Haredi public demands so called modesty from the time you land at Ben Gurion---Actually there is a lot of sex segregation in TA with all the gay clubs...I'm sure to more than a few "closet" cases in the Haredi public that is quite titillating!
32. #15 is quite right
Israeli grandma   (08.16.12)
One single fence, opaque, would solve this artificial problem.
33. Bathing-
Ameridane ,   Aarhus, Denmark   (08.16.12)
I suppose that the next step is that those who are not Jews and ultra orthodox will not be allowed to use the Med. beaches - it might contaminate the kosher water.
34. Why are the "religious" so obsessed with sex?
Sidney ,   USA   (08.16.12)
Kings David and Solomon were not the inhibited fearers of women that they are. What do they think that Abraham was up to?
35. # 25 I shall not wait
Raptor   (08.16.12)
I have already packed and I am on my way. I wish you and all the black hats a pleasant journey through life. I have given a lot to Israel, a hell of a lot, I have received nothing in return, only grief and pain. I never expected any material return but I did expect happiness and pleasure in my old age. Each day I wake up and see and hear only bad things. It's over for me.
36. I AGREE WITH SEGREGATING THE HAREDIM
INETFRAUD ,   US/IL   (08.16.12)
I think the haredim SHOULD be segregated: its what they want, so give it to them. Make TINY spaces for them everywhere: little black boxes for them to live their lives in as they do already. Who cares about them: they aren't Israeli (most of them deplore the 'state' of Israel); they don't follow the Torah (just some extreme, bizarre version of it) and they're filled with hatred for their fellow Jews. So, who the hell would want things like this around? Box them off. Enough of this hatred already. Give them what they want: a cloistered world to live out their strange lives. AM YISRAEL CHAI.
37. Just make a more substantial fence
Lemmings hotline ,   sd usa   (08.17.12)
38. Israel may be Jewish but Judaism is not defined by Israel
Eliza ,   Sydney Australia   (08.17.12)
Agree with David at #20 that there is a growing anger, distaste and contempt re Israel amongst people in western states, even including the USA. This stems primarily from Jewish Israeli domination of the Palestinian people, and more recently from endless warmongering of Netanyahu and his ilk, but there is no hatred against Jews. In western states, Jews enjoy full citizenship rights and live, work and play without fuss with people from all religions/ethnicity. Most Jews have chosen not to live in Israel and Israel might like to think that it is a state for all Jews, but its not. As for the 'divide and conquer' tactic of the current Israeli govt - you are probably right, but after all the years that all Israeli govts have used this tactic against Gaza/West Bank and EJ Palestinians, you can hardly expect much sympathy. If Israel aims to be the state for Jews, then is it logical that it will eventually morph into a complete theocracy. However hard it may be for the secular Jew in Israel, it ain't nothing to the treatment dished out to the Palestinians.
