1. I bet on Bennett as future PM after...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.12.13)
Bibi retires. He is smart ,a man of broad vision and great in compromise.
2. What chutzpah he has to tell them to stop using slogans when
Shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (06.12.13)
His whole speech was nothing but slogans. The slogans of Yair Lapid, none the less!
3. Stop expecting us to share the burden
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (06.13.13)
It is not that the Haredim should start to share the burden as much as they should stop being the burden! Since municipalities spend most of their budgets on education, families with numerous children instead of getting discounts have to be made to pay surcharges to cover the cost. Child allowance has to stop at five children. Time for the Haredim to pay for themselves.

Join or lose your government funding!
5. Things one can learn from Hareidim
Scarborough1414 ,   Scarborough, ON   (06.13.13)
Bennett said that the Israeli public had a lot to learn from the Hareidim. Here are some examples: 1. Advanced stone throwing. How to cause the most amount of damage by using the smallest stone possible hurled by the least amount of force. Very useful. 2. Vandalism 101. Students will be taught how to shatter plate glass windows (useful for teaching immodest store owners a lesson) with the least amount of force coupled with techniques on how to run from the damage so as not to get caught. 3. Harassment techniques. How to harass harlots and potential prostitutes (in essence, any woman dressed inappropriately or behaving in an un-Jewish manner) no matter what the age, and get away with it. See proteksia 101, who to call for a favor if one is caught committing an act of glory to G-d, which the heretic seculars would call a crime. 4. Planning for the future. Envisioning an Israel where the seculars know their place (preferably the U.S.) and Torah rules. Tourists, diplomatic personnel and non-Jewish minorities will be cognizant of Jewish norms in public and observe them so as not to ruffle the feelings of our glorious Hareidi folk. Disobedience will not be tolerated. May the day of a Torah state come quickly; let the heretics beware. [I know, I know, it sounds harsh. Don't kid yourself, there are Hareidim out there who think like that. Who dream of a theocratic state where the lesser Orthodox and the seculars better watch out. Imagine a modesty squad on every street corner. Won't happen you say? Look at Saudi Arabia and Iran. Are we better?
6. Maybe a chance secular will slow down emigrating?
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.13.13)
Not enough change in the Peeri recommendations. It does not bring equality to Israel, not in law and not in practice. The exemption till 21 is completely wrong as it extends the time for them to marry and do many other foilishticks to stay out of serving. The exemption to one thousand eight hundred "scholars" annually is a huge exaggeration; ten would be enough as compared to the secular Atuda. Secular will see the continuing discrimination in the draft system and continue to emigrate. Moreover, those of us who would come back if equality in Israel was restored will have to forget about it, for now at least.

Please, stay where you are. You wil be not missed
8. 5 You are judging a whole society..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.13.13)
on acts of rotten apples of this society. Of course you are blind at your own rotten apples. VERY LOW LEVEL.
9. Taxpayer, Hod Hasharon
Alice ,   Israel/Canada   (06.13.13)
Who you think you are to decide on the number of children one should have. ? As for your taxes, you have the merit to help another Yid in need . Maybe this is the whole purpose of your life coming this world.
10. to #9 Alice
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (06.14.13)
what happens at the rotten (Venn diagram) intersection of hareidi and female? Narcissism and solipsism on top of Chutzpa and Thievery.
11. To bluegrass Smoker
Alice ,   Isreael/Canada   (06.17.13)
The bigs thieves and traitors are the one who who form the Left. But since the government protects them, everyting in pushed under the carpet. Does Olmert rings a bell in you ear? By the way, if you are not happy with The Haredims and their way of living, there is a french saying (Sacre le Camp) which means leave. Afterall, Jewish People and Israel are ONE. And I mean the real Jews
12. Yiddishkeit
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.18.13)
The fact that they still call Judaism Yiddishkeit is where lies the problem. Integration also begins with language. You are estranging yourselves from your entire nation thinking that 17th18th century Eastern Europe is where you must remain until Mashiach comes. (by the way that is now). Integration does not result with your daughters naked on the beach. Integration means you take responsibility to contribute not just spiritually but also physically and financially to your country and communities.
