1. Just charter flights with no movies or female attendants
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (05.05.13)
All they have to do is just charter flights with no movies or female attendants. They can even specify higher level kosher foods, no flying over graveyards, etc. But special stickers to replace using an eye mask is just plain silly.
2. Will They Wear Them Permanently??
leo ,   nyc   (05.05.13)
As many of the Haredi draw closer and closer to ideas of the Taliban, one wonders if the next step will be to require "believers" to wear these glasses all the time to eliminate any possibility of viewing something immodest...can anyone really believe this is what Judaism is based on????
3. what about the nuts in the shuk?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.05.13)
Breslovers come to the shuk to sing and dance do these Breastlovers need stickers not to look at the hot chicks that walk around there or are they only against the hot stuff on film but the real girls are ok? Answer me, I am bewildered. Tony Weiner
4. Imagination of the mind is endless
Reuven ,   Netanya   (05.05.13)
Fantastic, perhaps they should wear a burka instead if this superb invention should not be adequate. Perhaps they should wear this every time they come outside as the world out there is full of poison for the mind. Or perhaps don't come outside at all and do us all a favor.
5. Does anyone have a better idea?
Charles   (05.05.13)
All those years of work brainwashing these guys could be undone with a mere glance at the forbidden. Gotta protect that investment somehow...
6. Kool
Heshy ,   Brooklyn ny   (05.05.13)
Kool it's really nice I as a Brooklyn Jew would love to buy such eye protectors as we are living in a immoral world where soon men will marry dogs. Hatzlocha
7. Kobi,you'd better wright about our security crisses
hadad ,   U.K   (05.05.13)
with syria rather than wasting our time with this Rrabbish.
8. Whom do they bother?
Lya ,   Modiin   (05.05.13)
this doesnt bother you when someone is eating with his eyes your wife or your daughter? Telling to friends what he would wish to do with this mans wife or daughter? seriously, stop this hate rant. They believe that sealing eyes will work, let them.. why do you care so much, if someone doing something for its own sake? shouldnt bother you
9. They should all..........
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (05.05.13)
............be put away in a hospital for the mentally ill.
10. lolol...
Malone ,   Hfx   (05.05.13)
11. Anticipating Haredim
JDE ,   Boston, USA   (05.05.13)
"Oy, nebech! More Haredi bashing from Ynet! You all need to do teshuvah!"
12. These people are not practicing
Runner1983 ,   USA   (05.05.13)
Judaism. They are practicing Hareidism, which it seems, is more interested in the minutae of daily living than in how one treats their fellow man.....
13. Let us be grateful for the free entertainment they provide!
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.05.13)
14. #3
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (05.05.13)
Not that I am a fan...but you have to know that there is a distinction between the kiruv groups that run around trying to attract people and the hard core ones who learn. That's just the way it is.
15. Better still...
Looney Toons ,   tel aviv   (05.05.13)
Just don't fly at all. More room for the rest of us.
16. Heshy the Kool
Alan ,   Brooklyn, NY USA   (05.05.13)
Talking about marrying dogs. Doubtless you'll be married to one in no time since you have the sensibility of a canine.
17. Child abuse is not L'shaim Shamayim
Avramele   (05.05.13)
I seldom indulge in Haredi bashing (too many FFB Haredi close family). I also think the whole haredi draft issue is bogus populist sinat chinam. That being said, blindfolding a child for 10 hours crosses every line of human decency and is cause for calling in protective services. Religion is never an excuse to torture your children just as denying them access to a core curriculum condemns them to permanent ignorance and poverty.
18. They could come in handy...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.05.13)
whenever Catherine Ashton, Nancy Pelosi, or Janet Reno pop up.
19. They are already 100% blinkered!
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad   (05.05.13)
20. #5 A better suggestion? A lunatic asylum perhaps ..
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad   (05.05.13)
Like the fool two weeks ago that wrapped himself in a plastic bag because the plane would be flying over a graveyard. This nonsense has nothing to do with belief in G*d and everything to do with fanaticism. The same fanaticism that drives Muslims.
21. The problem is not what you eyes see
NATAN ,   ISRAEL   (05.05.13)
the sin is in what you brain do with what your eyes see..
22. Strictly LUNATIC !
Big Mouth ,   On the face   (05.05.13)
23. Islamic extremists and orthodox extremists
American girl ,   USA   (05.05.13)
Have quite a few similar traits .... Jewish marriage for example makes me sad
24. To #6
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.05.13)
Look around! Some men and women, too, already have married dogs :-)
25. To Lya #8
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (05.05.13)
When I was young, I was rather nice-looking and occasionally would get the once-over from guys. When, seeing my husband smile at that, I asked him one time, why that didn't bother him instead of being amused by it, he said that he sure as hell didn't want a wife at whom no other guys would sneak a peak now and then, but that those guys could eat out their hearts as long as I let him know that I was exactly with whom I wanted to be. Do I have to tell you that I never had any interest in another man? Actually, my Love has been dead for 12 years and I haven't been interested in someone else, yet. In other words, I had the best and second-best is simply not an option....
26. These people have a disease.
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (05.05.13)
27. Thought of this years ago
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (05.05.13)
When they were complaining about being seated next to women on flights a year and more ago, my idea was to have them wear blinders like horses wear. This works too.
28. Put them on a flight with a Bratzlav pilot ....
Ehud ,   TLV   (05.05.13)
....wearing those glasses
29. This must be a joke! Late April fools' day
Zyx ,   US   (05.05.13)
30. Poor Idiots!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (05.05.13)
Haredim are NOT Israel. They are pathetic insane sect. They should not exist here.
