1. Attacking Police
leo ,   NYC/Haifa   (07.12.13)
This situation is undeniably out of control-First these attackers need to be in prison, period. Second, since some of these Haredim do not believe in Israel or its legitimacy, it's time to deport them- let them wait for the Messiah somewhere else
2. Put Them Away for a Long Time!
Steve ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.12.13)
3. Ultimatum
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (07.12.13)
I honestly don't see why we give these people any money at all. These are the people who are constantly calling everyone else sinners and violators of sacred laws while their leaders are arrested for corruption and they assault the people that protect them. This neighborhood in particular needs to stop receiving the things the rest of us pay taxes for. If they don't want to do their duty and if they don't want to respect those that do their duty to this country, they shouldn't receive the fruits of our labors. They probably shouldn't get it to begin with either. This is the kind of behavior that comes from people without jobs, without education. If they really were devoted to the torah they would know how to act towards their brothers. Even if they do not acknowledge the rest of us as brothers, you still need to treat others with respect.
4. I don't see a problem
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.12.13)
Throw the iron bars right back. Use live ammunition. Truth be told -- who cares if a few Satmar and Neturei Karta lose their lives? Just less pretender-Jew scum. Send them to Iran. Don't they always attend Iran's annual anti-Israel hatefest, anyway? And the dress code for Satmar and Neturei Karta women works in Iran, too. We rid ourselves of scum-sucking and extraordinarily dependent tref, and the tref get to live in a state that denounces the State of Israel and questions the legitimacy of the existence of the State of Israel. I call that a win-win.
5. FINALLY - the "majority" show themselves!
Israeili Jew ,   Israel   (07.12.13)
6. Don't call extreme Jews ultra Orthodox
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (07.12.13)
These extreme sects should not be called Hasidim, nor Ultra Orthodox. Extreme sects distinguishable mainly by Uniforms worn, Chukat Goim according to Gaonic rulings. Mannerisms as to length of peyot, hats, ballet shoes,silk stockings, with the Shtreimel on occaisions. distinguish one sect from another Some, to my mind engage in Idol worship of their rebbes wearing their hats and beards in his style . They learn Torah , but I doubt the majority live it or understand it
7. Years of pampering, now this
Enough is enough ,   Tel Aviv   (07.12.13)
This country has allowed these primitive throwbacks to the dark ages to get away with the most aberrant anti-social behavior for too long. The more they increase in number (and boy, do they increase), the bolder they are getting. What is this government waiting for before it takes serious action against this growing mob violence? Bloodshed? Civil war? Spare the rod, spoil the child is what their own torah teaches and it's time to give these brats a taste of their own medicine.
8. Disengagement?
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (07.12.13)
Never thought there was anything positive about the word, Disengagement. When Israel gets fed up enough (if that is possible) with the uncivilized behavior of the Arabs and throws them out of Israel, get rid of these creepy extremists as well.
9. Just a bunch of thugs
Tim ,   Brighton   (07.12.13)
Trying to attack the Soldier en masse for serving to PROTECT THEM - in the name of Hashem? And then turning on the Police tasked to control them and protect the lone soldier? They are criminals and must be brought to justice AND what we want to see in CLEAR and UNEQUIVOCAL terms their Religious Leaders condemning these sickening acts without reservation and EXPELLING THEM from their Sects and Synagogues for bringing shame to their communities for these brutal acts of mindless criminal vandalism
10. Draft them into the IDF
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (07.12.13)
with all that fury and hatred they could become IDF heroes! IF they would only fight the enemy NOT the police or the IDF. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
11. #1
Zvika ,   Jerusalem   (07.12.13)
Do you advocate the same treatment for Arab terrorists who "don't recognize Israel or its legitimacy?" Just wondering.
12. Push back
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls   (07.12.13)
GOI orders those sworn to protect lives to instead destroy them. Guess what you get? Those sworn to remove the threat, but instead are ordered to destroy the lives of those they are sworn to protect and those that gave the orders serve. BB ceded the first land of the first Jew to those that come to kill them. If you were a traditional Jew how would you respond? If you act according to your traditions and THE STATE that destroys Jewish lives and never expels those that come to kill you and demands otherwise, how would your respond? If THE STATE is only a means to an end, but at times meanders, how would you respond?
13. Haredim attacks
Jim Higgins ,   Holland, MI USA   (07.12.13)
Do the Haredim have a God so incompetent that they must take care of Him and be His avenging angels? Last I knew the LORD was quite capable of taking care of Himself and did not need the "help" of these idiots.
14. 6 They ARE Ultra-Orthodox!!! If YOU disagree, then
Israeili Jew ,   Israel   (07.12.13)
it's YOU who isn't Ultra-Orthodox -- and kol ha-kavod if that's true!
15. B"H - Haredim Attack Police Or Police Attack Haredim?
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.12.13)
16. And what did they get?
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.12.13)
House arrest! Shame on the judge! Now they will be heroes to their own kind.
17. 16 Right, this is not a nation of equality under the law!
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (07.12.13)
Shame indeed!
18. Sinat Chaim
tom ,   new york   (07.12.13)
In 3 days we commemorate Tish Abav obviously Sinat Chaim ; Pikuach Nefesh mean nothing to them . I they haven't learned these concepts they aren't true Torah scholars and should go into the IDF which has stockades for soldiers who refuse military orders.
19. Many Haredim are literally insane
Dan   (07.13.13)
Is there any clearer way to announce that one detests Israel and wants to see it destroyed? To refuse to do one's military duty while demanding others protect you is bad enough. To attack those who do their duty is awful. But to attack those who dare to defend people who do their duty? The only thing that can save these creatures from life in prison as traitors is their insanity: they can have life in a mental asylum instead. But normal life in Israel? No.
