Josh   (07.31.13)
Stop spitting at women and young girls Go get a job Join the army and contribute to the welfare of the state that they live off.
2. self hating Jew
Norm L Jew ,   Galut   (07.31.13)
Instead of spewing such unfounded bile at this teacher, perhaps you should take note that he is associated with a Bnei Akiva yeshiva---a bastion of religious Zionism where Torah study includes both patriotism and loving our fellow Jews without discrimination.
3. u r wrong josh
db ,   chicago   (08.01.13)
U r confusing religious zionists with anti zionist hareidim. Educate yourself.
4. No contradiction
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (08.01.13)
There is no contradiction between being a religious Jew and knowing how to defend yourself. I think every Yeshiva bochur should be taught some form of martial arts.
5. to #1 he isn't Charedi, and he served the IDF.

6. Josh, number one
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.01.13)
If you understood Israel a bit better you would have known that Bnei Akiva are Orthodox Zionists who do army service and are represented out of all proportion in the officer class.
7. He is a lion
Ezra ,   San Diego   (08.07.13)
