1. Stunning!
(05.13.13)
This ability that Israelis have to always wake up late is simply stunning!!!!
2. Maybe Parents Should Work
jake ,   haifa Israel   (05.13.13)
Have the Haredi work and lift 100,000 kids out of poverty immediately. If poverty is really your concern, that is exactly what you would say, MK Ex Convict.
3. ;) ,...
split ,   US   (05.13.13)
I have said you won't make them work or serve they're going to starve their kids and blame you. Didn't have to wait more than a month and here comes the 'starving chldren' card ,...
4. Strategic implications cuttind defense spending
Stephen in New York   (05.13.13)
Much better to cut other expenses and deal with internal social turmoil than risk reverses with far-reaching consequences.
5. Volunteer Assistance Audited
ZivronV   (05.13.13)
Now as always is the time for volunteer Help from The Better off in Israel and the Diaspora .but the support ought to go Direct with auditing by Justice Finance and Labor .
6. Deri, start getting your Haredim to work
Ted   (05.13.13)
and support their children, so they will not have poor children at home!! And amazing speech for someone who has been convicted of fraud.
7. Never thought I'd agree with Deri, but...
Voice of reason ,   Israel   (05.13.13)
Raising VAT is taking from the poor to give to the rich. Billionaires are getting tax breaks, while those on minimum wage are going to be unable to afford to eat fruit and vegetables. I agree that everyone should work for a living, and we've had enough of giving handouts to people who despise the state. But these tax hikes are at the expense of the people who DO work, and get paid low wages. This move is going to drive the working poor into poverty.
8. Cut the debts
Abraham Nissan ,   Hadera   (05.13.13)
אבי ניסן I would warmly recommend you to create a team to speak and negotiate to world's bank or international banking to cancel or annul the Israel's external debts, and by doing this, provoking a positive manner in the Israeli Economy, changing the decrees against children and on the opposite creating a trend to increase national security pensions and salary workers, without hurting no the middle class, not the bottom classes, nor the rich and extreme rich.
9. You know what?
Mira ,   Vienna   (05.13.13)
Send your Yeshiva boys to work for their children, praying alone does not nurture!
10. Take children away from fathers who refuse to work
Mordechai   (05.14.13)
If a family cannot feed it children because the father refuses to work then the child should be taken away and put up for adoption. Stop supporting the bums and end the tragedy of families being on welfare for generations
11. # 7 - You really don't get it
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (05.14.13)
If you raise VAT by 1% you take from everyone, but take more from the rich as they spend more! - It isthe fairest of taxes because everyone pays it - and if everyone pays tax then idiots will stop demanding that the government pay for things - because that really means other taxpayers.
12. What $ha$$ arereally saying.
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (05.14.13)
The real message is a squeel of anguish as the bent system of increased child support for third fourth.....umpteenth children is finished with and instead all children are created equal and all children are treated equal. Fairness, decency and honesty are far from their warped skew on Judaism. In short Mr. Deri the quickest way out of poverty is to stop having large families that you cannot afford. You represent people who have chosen to be poor, who could have lived within their means but have adopted an unsustainable life style. Children for you are a bit like a drug fix - we pay for four you want five, we pay for ten you want eleven - and just ike dealing with a druggy we get to a stage where we refuse to pay for your fix
