most wise people know not to judge a whole nation based on the actions of a few. Having said that.....I have been to Israel many times. On two occassions I left early. What I witnessed was appaling ! Lack of respect, rudness and arrogance is appaling in Israel !

when I was younger, it was my dream to live in Israel. As I grew older and wiser, I realized Israel was not for me. I will always support Israel, as I do ALL Democracies ! I know exactly how you feel !

that worships the shamans and the babas,

I have dedicated my whole life to Israel, more years than you want to count and in more ways than you can think of. I am sorry for every one of those years not dedicated to myself and to another decent country. The Israel that I knew many many years ago no longer exists. The culture that has developed is more than disgusting, it is completely repelling. My children and grandchildren have all left, fourth and fifth generation born, I am about to join them. It is so sad, but I cannot do anything or go anywhere without encountering violence, verbal and physical, rudeness rules the roost in all aspects of life, rowdyness and disrespect for the law and public property, litter and public disorder.I shall spend my remaing years in a country that has a decent culture and different norms from that of the Israel of today. I shall recall with fondness the Israel of yesteryear.

infectious diseases,and if it continues.it will defeat the little r-d that Israel had created,i hope that Lapid-Bennet,will put Israel on the right track.

Time to face the facts..parents are scared of their kids. Teachers live in fear of their pupils and their parents. Police just don't care... Children as young as 10 or12 roam the streets especially on Friday nights drunk, smoking breaking glass bottles all over, painting walls, destroying property. Parents of these children should be punished after all if they do not care to teach their children right from wrong. This is NOT the educators job. Folks wake up!

Sling the 40 year old father in Jail. If he has no respect for individuals and the community then the community has no need of him. Put him behind bars, and send the kids to community service

That is not going to happen. If I were to explain the reasons why I would be immediately branded a bigot, a racist and not being PC. Things have gone too far to be corrected, the character of the nation is already deep rooted in daily practice in all walks of life, it is impossible to change it now, this is not a train that can be redirected at a junction, this is a train that has reached its destination.

Now we must lie in it! In February 2013 we had a General Election. How many of these "shocked" comment writers demanded an explanation from the then Government, the Prime Minister , Ministers of Internal Security and Justice why they don't stop the disgusting reign of anarchy in our country? I am sure that no one, including myself, did and that is where the problem lies! Voter indifference, general apathy and the expression "ihiyeh beseder" are the real problems and the politicians take full advantage of it. Netanyahu showed the world his "Ticking Bomb" at the UN but doesn't or won't see the ticking bomb at home! Children are being blamed from not knowing what is right and what is wrong but what do you want of them when their parents don't know right and wrong themselves?

For Lag Ba'Omer probably. Knowing our country, these rotten punks will be at that bonfire. With their despicable father. Minister Uri Ohrbach please care for this gentleman and his wife. Seeing the punks punished is also your responsibility. The ghastly father as well. Thank you.

Very very few people here are allowed to own fully automatic weapons. The National Rifle Association says no such thing as you are saying they do. If we did not have a right to keep and bear arms who would protect the children you speak of? Did it help the Jews in Germany to protect their children by having the same gun control you seem to advocate for us?

Embarrass this person....make his coworkers, family and friends embarrassed to be seen near him and make him do community service aiding Holocaust survivors and the elderly. Guy is garbage, pure and simple

Anyone who knows it!

Its getting close to Lag B'Omer, and I've seen these hooligan kids trying to take wood from the strangest places. They come to my house and already have one piece of wood in the cart and then they remember to ask me after my wood is in their cart. They guy who said these are Arabs and not Jews...hahahaha....who else would be trying to put lots of wood in a cart during the counting of the Omer? When was the last time you saw Arabs collecting wood during Omer?

Now another man was beaten up in Herziliya....this is getting out of hand! Two elderly people beaten up in one day! Crazy!!!! http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4362402,00.html

this is what happens when you don't teach religion in Israel .... they have replaced all of our holy commandments, including respect for the aged and property, with chutzpah .... chutzpah has become the religion of Jews in Israel .....

yes, i am a high school teacher and a damn good one at that as well. since i am a teacher, i would like to teach you how to spell. here goes: DONT is correctly spelled as DON'T PORONO is correctly spelled as PORNO YOUR is correctly spelled as YOU'RE i believe you probably won't even get a teaching degree with your spelling capacity. and the trash you wrote in your post is completely inaccurate apart from the better canadian economy. believe me, you have plenty of murders, rapes and killings in canada. maybe not as much as the usa, but your society is becoming flooded with muslims from the sub sahara regions, the middle east and nigeria, africa, etc... they do live in ghettos in montreal. i have seen them and it is not too safe to walk there.

Are you out of town ??? No comments on this one ???

You need to learn and then, also teach, when to use capital letters.. Names of people, names of countries, names of cities, towns, rivers etc., all start with a capital letter. Montreal, Canada, Tel Aviv, Israel and so on. Try not to use the word damn......as you're such a good teacher.
