1. Agreed, the threat from Haredim is bigger than from Iran.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.02.12)
What is this travel to N.Y. by Bibi and showmanship with a red pencil at the UN? Right under your nose there in Jerusalem Haredim are threatening the survival of the state of Israel. Without separating religion and state Israel has no future. Where was the police to subdue those Haredim who are ignoring the High Court ruling? Where were the excluded women of Israel fighting back?
2. Anti-Semitic, Anti-Haredi Propaganda Hits New High
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (10.02.12)
B"H - By comparing haredim to Iran bomb threat internal anti-Semite Israeli Jew-haters hit new high in their anti-Jewish propaganda: Not different from the German law-makers bent against circumcision, kosher slaughtering.
3. when gouv will keep promise and...
Ze'ev ,   Nbg, germany   (10.02.12)
..starts to fight these religious extremists! These haredim destroy the unity of jews!
4. Make them work, as Jewish law requires
Scott ,   USA   (10.02.12)
5. BeFree Israel
Iletzter ,   TA- Israel   (10.02.12)
What the hell were these idiots doing in Mea Shearim. ? Live in Tel Aviv as you like. No one cares. Why do you try to coerce your ideology and pagan concepts on religous people. Shouldn't they have freedom to live and practice religion as they wish? These people should be totally condemmed and if the High Court gives them supportt - the High Court should also be condemmed.
6. Are women allowed in men's restrooms?
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.02.12)
Or is that exclusion still allowed in Israel?
7. Netanyahu would be better
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.02.12)
facing up to the threat the Haredim pose for Israel both economically, politically and socially rather than getting Wyle E Coyote to interpret the risk of Iran gaining parity with Israel through the medium of dance. Prehaps he could use a cartoon drawing to explain why normal decent Israelis who work hard for a living and want to do their best for their children why they shouldn't leave the country for Europe via a German passport?
8. re
Maskil   (10.02.12)
Cavemen!
9. Arrest the stone throwers for at list one year
Choen,Israel   (10.02.12)
Or better- Give them a year for each and every stone they throw. Lets see them do it again after that...
10. Hassidic movement
JGrosman ,   Houston   (10.02.12)
No one in the Hassidic area complained. It took a trouble maker liberal that is against religion to cause trouble. We learn that you do not put a block in front of a blind person but the liberals are trying to stop us from practicing religion our way. She is trying to bring us down to her ideas. Israel is a Jewish state. All religious congregations that keep the Torah separate men and women.
11. SOLUTION: send the brave heredi stone throwers to the front
Rafi ,   US   (10.02.12)
... line with Iran. let them all have at it. "Two birds killed with one stone"!
12. Haredim throwing stones
Joe Charlap ,   Jerusalem   (10.02.12)
It is intolerable that the Haredim have free reign to do what they like. In addition it is disgusting that these people who regard themselves as pillars of Judaism go completely against Halacha. They should hang their heads in shame.
13. feel the love from the religion of peace
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (10.02.12)
14. Make Mea Shearim Autonomous area
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (10.03.12)
In return for making Mea Shearing an autonomous area for Haredim, Israel in return will cut off all aid to it's residents, stop municipal services and end ALL subsidies to all Yeshivas, Families and students whom reside there. If they do nor respect the law of the land and want their own rules let them pay for their own roads, pay for their own schools, and pay their own way!
15. Haredi apologists
JDE ,   Boston, USA   (10.03.12)
The comments posted here by Haredi apologists - Ariel Ben Yochanan, Iletzter, Orly, JGrosman - demonstrate the utter futility of any attempt to reason with them. I refuse to give one penny to Israel until it begins the process of disenfranchising the Haredi extremists.
