1. Segregation
alan ,   ohio   (04.01.13)
Isn't this the very criticism the A-rabs vent about Israel. Love it...what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Israel is the Jewish State and Gaza is the Muslim State.....enjoy...wonder which place the PALS would prefer to live. TOO BAD you are out of luck=Israel the Jewish homeland forever. If the PALS wish to remain in Judea and Samaria, then Israel should issue them a visitor visa marked Jordanian citizen!!!!!
2. Didn't these people vote in these
(04.01.13)
Animals? Now they don't like what they stand for? it's only going to get worse!
3. Keep in mind Gaza, the gates to Israel are CLOSED
William ,   Israel   (04.01.13)
Look from your Islamic hell at the freedoms and growing standard of living of your neighbors who are not bound by the archaic, oppressive nature of Sharia Law by Arab terrorists. Do not cry because of the situation you voted for yourselves - aka "Palestinian self-determination". You chose war with Israel through Hamas and you ended up with a legal blockade and Sharia Law. Nicely done.
4. look who's talking; someone that segregates women and arrest
son of yaffa ,   Palestine   (04.01.13)

Charles   (04.01.13)
They will be teaching to liberate Palestine by slaughtering every Jew in Israel to boys and girls in separate classes.
8. These people are real serious about something here.

It would be interesting if included with comments about these actions being part of the culture that the short term and long term positive affect goals would be included in contrast to leaving classrooms mixed gender. Are students grades better like this? Are there less chances for sexual improprieties? How well is the rest of the modesty and decency attitude taken in how these students lives will be considered into their adult lives, livelihoods? Comparisons in how things are done for the benefit of those who are being affected, the populous, for this controlled environment can be good, bad or have good and bad points. Arguments help to show who really has a better way. Just have to find a place to have these kinds of arguments. As interesting as it is to see peoples adherence to their belief in different ways, to see who really are getting it right and good with really positive results would be even more interesting (and needed). You'd be inclined to believe that it couldn't get any better than Zion from the way it's heard that "they were singing for Zion from Babylon". These different faiths should be prepared to show with the potential of combining into one, the best of each one's best, even in different categories. This would be good.
9. What schools exist in Gaza ?
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (04.01.13)
Rather brain washing chambers to raise murders and terrorists from innocent children. My suggestion to teach about a new arab state from Gaza to El Arish, with the half of Sinai.
10. is this really news?
Josh ,   Israel   (04.01.13)
what do you expect? coed sleepovers? duh...
11. #10 Son of B---
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (04.01.13)
Jewish women can vote , that's the difference We no longer use the term "Wailing Wall", it is now the "Western Wall", thanks to our Chaylim that threw tyou Arabs out, now you're wailing over it's losst I have an easy question, where, oh where, is Jerusalem mentioned in your Quran Prof. Daneile Pipes has offered a cool Million American Dollars, if you can show it at least once His offer is available and waiting for you to claim his reward P.S. Fahti Hammad made a video (youtube) wherein he say's that Palestine is a "Recent Invention""
12. same thing happens
rm ,   Amsterdan, NL   (04.01.13)
in certain religious Israeli schools...really the same thing
13. So glad I am not a Pally!
Mark ,   London, Uk   (04.01.13)
Population 1.4 million. How many GLBT people? This doesn't sound at all good. Who is the oppressor in Hamastan?
14. So they are getting what religious schools in Israel want?
Ze'ev ,   USA   (04.01.13)
15. This happens in the West with positive results
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (04.01.13)
I went to an all boys' school and a mixed boarding school. Girls do much better scholastically in all girls' schools, and that documentation is overwhelming! And I went to school in the UK and it wasn't a religious school. These schools exist all over the West and many parents and most girls prefer them.
16. Check ynetnews a few months ago
Marcus ,   Onchan   (04.02.13)
The same has been done in Israeli schools on the base of: boys getting the same results with studies. So why is it decried now? Because its Arabs doing it? Come of your high horse people. How many of you commented positively on it being done in Israeli schools and why won't ynetnews link to it und this article?
17. Hamas Gender Foolishness
Alan Shweky ,   New York, USA   (04.02.13)
Without putting too fine a point on this concept: How is this different from Haredi schools in both the US and Israel? In case you miss my point, they are not. Religious extremism, especially in this sick little gender arena, transcends religion. They are both demented.

Linda   (04.02.13)
When a religious school want to do this it is their problem and parents can choose to send kids or not! All other people can go to schools they want, Jews, Christian and moslim. No minister in Israel would say ALL have to be separated, that is the differents
