Mr Mayor Barakat - if you are only just becoming aware of this problem, then you have a bigger problem even that of gender segregation!

who is 'they' and 'you' they are all Israeli. In a democracy, there will always be differences. The difference is -we dont kill each other. Get the difference now ?
7. the mayor gears up w/ELECTION RHETORIC
Lady Jewess ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.25.13)
I for one don't believe his words, I have been watching his actions on the exclusion of women in Jerusalem since he was elected. His record on this is very poor...so what's he thinking that I am the only one watching? I don't think I am and I think he's going to lose big time at the elections!
8. Article about women asked not to sing performan in Jerusalem
Steve Beilowitz ,   cHERRY hILL, n.j. us   (03.25.13)
This is not the first time the Ultra religious have done this. When there was the dedication of the rail bridge in Jerusalem, young dancers were forced to cover their outfits and bodies to perform. Jerusalem is not the city of the Ultra religious. It is the city of the Jewish people.
9. # 6 - What democracy ? ,...
split ,   US   (03.25.13)
A prime example of theocratic dictatorship, they keep imposing their customs and do what they do best that's schnorring, ripping off others and making babies - The funny think is that they don't like to work or serve, that in 3 to 4 decades they'll become a majority and that's the end of Israel ,...
10. OK, now stop giving speeches....
Vlad   (03.25.13)
and actually DO something!
11. Threats require action not words
G ,   Tel Aviv, Iran   (03.26.13)
Threatening with malice is a criminal offence, but the whole story has a bad smell: a manager quickly blaming some nameless assistant (of course...), and then falling over himself to get rid of the women in order to save his show (and his income). Not nearly enough is being done to end this scourge.

is a very basic principle of law by which the punishment fits the crime, an eye for an eye, if you will, or repayment in kind. Those who wish to exculde women from society should themselves be excluded from society until they arrive at their senses. They should not be invited by any public authority to any public occassion and in fact the more that they are ignored the faster the problem will be solved. Women are not only equal to men, my opinion is that they should be shown the utmost respect by men and by society due to the fact that they carry the burden and responsibilty of procreation and not men.
