1. Haredi boycott of Judea/Samaria
JJ Gross ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.10.13)
Aside from the fact that major haredi communities are located in Judea/Samaria (e.g. Betar illit, Kiriat Sefer) it would make more sense of these hypocritical leeches would decide to grow their own produce and manufacture their own goods. Except that it is against their principles to do an honest day's labor. Work is only for G-d and for other Jews who exist to support these fakers.
2. Go ahead with your bycott
Shalom ,   Ashdod, IL   (03.10.13)
and we promise you will not see a single penny to your yeshivot. Go ahead and make our day. They have to understand that they lost and so they have to stay OUT
3. STOP THE BLUFF!
Yoni ,   Shomron   (03.10.13)
Why can't these so-called "Haredim" just come to the realization that they are not living in the Galut anymore, and in our own Jewish state, it is a MITZVAH to SETTLE and DEFEND the ENTIRE Land of Israel! They pick-and-choose mitzvoth which are comfortable for them to keep, (sort of like the Conservative Jews in America), and disregard two of the most CENTRAL mitzvoth in the Torah! They talk about the Religious-Zionists destroying the "olam ha-Torah" (Torah world), as if they were the representatives of God in this World! HA! Sorry to inform you guys, but the TRUE "olam ha-Torah" is by US! We are the TRUE continuation of the Chatam Sofer and the Gaon of Vilna, who loved, encouraged, and settled the ENTIRE Land of Israel, and who taught that it is a mitzvah from the Torah to study ALL types of wisdom, including secular wisdom, and the mitzvah of all types of WORK in the Land of Israel! As the Rambam said, someone who takes money solely to sit and learn Torah, is a CHILUL HASHEM (desecration of God)! Stop the big bluff! Stop calling yourselves "Haredim", and thinking you are the "olam ha-Torah"! WE, the National-Religious, are the TRUE Haredim, and represent the TRUE 'olam ha-Torah"!
4. Mystified!
Mark ,   London, UK   (03.10.13)
Haredi people seem to get by all over the world without government subsidies. It's not legal to withdraw your children from core education up to the school leaving age. They get by. I think it's just hot air. Substituting products from J&S with identical ones produced within the green line isn't very significant, is it? Everyone has to make a living.
5. so much for THEIR loyalty towards State!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.10.13)
6. Learn to pretend
Zechariah   (03.10.13)
Cannot the Haredim pretend a be a little less serious .Play Cops and Robbers Time to be Real .
7. Mazel Tov ! Yet another Chillul Hashem for the Haredi !
YIsrael of Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem , ISRAEL   (03.10.13)
When will their desecrations end ?
8. boycott
mb ,   Modiin   (03.10.13)
Let them boycott. We'll just boycott whatever it is they produce. Wait a minute, they don't produce anything.....
9. Boycott Back
SteveR ,   Dallas USA   (03.10.13)
These haredi yeshivas send emissaries to the US every year to raise money. And I think as more Jews see how the Haredi are acting, that flow of funds will dry up. I know I plan to tell them: you boycott YESHA, I boycott you.
10. #9 Steve R
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (03.10.13)
Actually more and more American Jews are finding it increasingly difficult to reconcile their love of Israel with the behaviour of the settlers. Linking their financial hardship with the fact they have moved to boycott the settlements will probably garner more support than less. Haredim may just be smarter than you and I think, and jumped aboard the two state solution train before it has left the station
11. Religious jews should boycott charedim
Mordechai   (03.10.13)
OK so lets boycott the charedim. The religious zionist community should refuse to allow charedim to work for the chief rabbinate. Fire every charedi employed by the state of Israel. Not one charedi working as a state funded shul Rabbi, Mohel or Kashrut supervisor. No donations for any kollel or yeshiva by religious zionists (or modern Orthodox in the US) " And as a gesture of goodwill to Shas's friends in Labor lets evacuate charedi settlements in the territories.
12. Haredim Pray and Prepare
Zechariah   (03.10.13)
Let the Haredim pray but they need prepare for a mass nuclear biological and chemical attack but building Shelters and Hover craft and Learnig Hatzollah Defense against these weapons.They will need more than Defibrillators and Oxygen Tanks but sealed Suits with ventilators for themselves and their children .A Rabbinic Decree ought be proclaimed now as an emergency .Secular Israel will retaliate Massively.
13. Haredi press: Boycott settlement produce
George Weiss ,   Teaneck, USA   (03.10.13)
Now the Charedi parties are showing their true feelings. They want to contribute nothing and get paid for it (and I think Israel can do without their Torah learning for protection). These people are real extremist or just plain greedy. I would also advise their money collecting emissaries to stay out of Teaneck).
14. I for one
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (03.10.13)
will follow Haredi instructions and boycott the Settlers. They are the root of all that is wrong in Israel today. A parasitical entity that has stripped away any pretence of a symbiotic relationship with Israel proper. Time to close the settlements down. The damage they are doing to Israel domestically and more importantly internationally is not worth the cost.
15. Sinat Hinam
Rachel ,   Raanana   (03.10.13)
The Haredi parties with their Sinat Hinam of Am Israel will be their undoing. G-d willing, Am Israel will survive this rabid hatred. As a religious woman, I'm saddened beyond words by this abomination of a fellow Jew's loathing for his brother.
16. Israel is a madhouse.
someone ,   south america   (03.11.13)
17. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.11.13)
18. To Sarah Tel Aiv/London
Yoni ,   Shomron   (03.11.13)
Sarah, darling: When kassam rockets and missiles are falling on your head in Tel Aviv, will you then run to your house in London??? The only reason it hasn't happened yet is because us settler's are physically preventing the establishment of a PLO/Hamas terrorist state in Judea and Samaria, so instead of being such an ingrate, you should be thankful and pray for our success!
19. that is ever so funny
peter ,   tel aviv   (03.11.13)
now they are saying that they are demanding an equal share? one of their rabbis should explain to them that equal share means more than taking from the other part of society. it means also contributing and with all due respect praying does not contribute too much . The haredi sector has to realize that there are a few other people in this country and that also those secular people have a few rights.
20. The end of extortion - boycott Badatz
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (03.11.13)
Have you ever noticed ho many of our products in the supermarkers are approved by Badatz - the Haredi Hechsher - perhaps its time we force the food producers to have a Jewish Hecsher instead.
21. No baseless hatred here.
Fred ,   Jerusalem, israel   (03.11.13)
I will not allow political and media personalities to come between me and my fellow Jews. Shame on those trying to cause hatred.
22. 18.
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (03.11.13)
you are the ''darling'' here. # 10 & 14 is sprouting her usual hot air. From me to all of you in Judea and Samaria, thank you. I pray for your safety & may G*d bless you ALL. Am Israel Chai.
23. Such love for fellow Jews they have (NOT).
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.11.13)
24. Does this mean Beitar Illit will be evacuated?
Amused ,   Ashdod   (03.11.13)
25. Dear Sarah B from London
Yossef   (03.11.13)
There will never be a Palestinian state in Yudah-Shomron. There will be at most a few Arab towns managed by Arab governors, and related to Jordan. Sooner or later we'll annex area C and dismantle PLO in favor of a local administration.
26. Perfidious Parasites.
Jake   (03.11.13)
27. #14 You have nothing to do with Israel anyway
Jake   (03.11.13)
Coming once a year for a 2-week vacation does not entitle you to any stake in Israel and its future. What are you going to do, then? Not visit Israel? Please boycott visits to Israel! We are begging you.
28. #18, Yoni, she is not from Tel Aviv, she is from London.
Jake   (03.11.13)
And visits Tel Aviv once a year for 2 weeks. Don't pay any attention to her BS.
29. #10 Not of your concern, Londoner.
Jake   (03.11.13)
30. More sensible to boycott smartphones LOL
R Narz ,   Toronto   (03.11.13)
