3. Because he looked at a pregnant..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.28.13)
woman? Bubbemeisses.
4. Looking?
Madeleine ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
Could be an article about Teheran - these people are seriously sick.
5. Seriously?
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (07.28.13)
If this is true, which I suspect it is, then it is VERY serious and the symptom of a disgustingly sick subsection of society here today. One would expect this sort of thing in Tehran or Riyadh, not Netanya.
6. 5 Mike Wishful suspicion.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.28.13)
7. 4 Believing this ?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.28.13)
This poster is seriously sick.
8. Now what would they have done if he'd looked at a man?
Just Sayin' ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
hmmm....well I am waiting to hear...because we all know that those Haredi men with all their fine dress clothes and all their men only activities are more exciting than the run of the mill gay bar on a Friday night!

It is not these people who are sick, it is us, the Nation, the people who run it and we who vote them in and let them run it.
10. radicals should never be tolerated

this is disgusting
11. I looked at cat yesterday. OMG

Is the world going nutz??

Once again, naive
13. looking at pregnant women
Deb ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.28.13)
let's be happy they didn't blame the women and beat her up.
14. Sagi, this time I actually agree with you.
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.28.13)
If this is the beginning of Israelistan it needs to be nipped in the bud. They can have segregated transportation in their communities and they can continue living in the 18th century for as long as they want as far as I am concerned. But these kind of incidents are unacceptable.
15. The Haredi society is globally sick.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.28.13)
16. Do they attack pedophiles as well?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (07.28.13)
or, just straight middle aged men who 'look at women." Good grief, this isn't the middl ages. No wonder people tisk tisk about the 'Religious' nut jobs in Israel.
17. man beaten up
g.man ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
Let us not confuse this with Judaism,either secular or observant, its neither.Its simply a violent assault and should be treated as such.
18. Looking at women
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.28.13)
As if there is no passion in the Torah. I know they will try to water it down as if it is purely spiritual and not carnal at all. That is nonsense both can exist at the same time. Jacob kisses Rebekah at the well at first sight because she is beautiful in his eyes. David watches Bathsheva bathing from his balcony and desires her sexually. Yehuda solicites Tamar when she disguises herself as a prostitute. SINNNN OOOOOHH They missed the mark. Hem Chatu. Hichteu. Modesty and humility in public is an absolutely positive thing and I am all for it. Especially with how Israeli women dress and behave. Walking the streets is like having visual viagara at every corner. It can get to be too much. Men cannot help but get worked up into a frenzy with women walking around half naked with clothes tight enough to not challenge the imagination in the least. Leave that stuff for the privacy of the home and bedroom. Israeli women overdue it and they know it. The boobs are always showing the leggings go straight up into the crotch area.. it is really too much. This is coming from someone that is really into apprecaiting the beauty of women. They need to calm down with the trashy clothes.
19. keystone cops
shloime ,   toronto, canada   (07.28.13)
90% of this story doesn't belong in the news. the police have not caught the perpetrators, have no suspects, and have not even been able to interview the victim. they have no business putting out incomplete information like this, instead of conducting a professional investigation, and catching the guilty parties. that would be "policing" - this is just "gossip". reporting gossip instead of news is also not the job of a newspaper. (personally, i happen to believe that it is likely the work of a "modesty squad" (sic), but my opinions are also not newsworthy.)
20. #4 - Could be an article about Teheran ,...
split ,   US   (07.28.13)
They don't attack anyone for looking at woman (pregnant or not) in Iran otherwise I would be dead long time ago ,... Your black hatted freaks are the stone age flinstones compared to Teheranians ,...
21. There's more to this
Boruch ,   NYC   (07.28.13)
The police have no clue what happened because victim isn't in condition to speak and perps weren't caught yet. My instinct tells me that there's more to this story than beating a man ogling a woman. I'm not speculating what may have happened, I just don't believe the police's speculation on the event. They are definitely too radical for my liking but they're not jihadists. Let's wait to see the real facts unfold. Not amateur sensational headlines.
22. DEPORT THE HAREDI POPULATION
ADAM ,   CHICAGO   (07.28.13)
TO IRAN WHERE THEY WILL BE A NATURAL FIT. THEY ARE ISRAELS LARGEST PROBLEM REMEMBER ROME FELL FROM WITHIN
23. 3 Ora I would be more confident...
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (07.28.13)
about the virtues of the haredi world if the guedolei hador, the great Rabbis, would condemn such and other acts of violence
24. # 14 Dror
Sagi   (07.28.13)
No Dror, they can not have segregated communities and services and different laws than those of the land, not while I am around. Lincoln responded to one of his Secretaries when asked if he thought it was worth it all as the war was drawing to a close, "I would have done it to save the Union and I would have done it to abolish slavery, certainly for both. I was in NY as a very young child, not understanding much about life and seeing signs which read "Whites Only" etc. I knew something was wrong and I asked my father for an explanation. When I became a young man I lived through the turbulent times of the determination of the Southern States to keep separation and racism alive in spite of the Supreme Court and the Administration. I was so proud the day that the 101st Airborne marched young black kids into the school room and were under orders to detain the teachers if they should not cooperate. No Dror, I am not American and I never lived in America, these things happened while I was growing up in Isreal. I shall be just as proud and just as happy to see paratroopers under orders to march Sephardim into Ashkenazi kindergartens etc. and to see them detain Haredim who spit on women and send them to the back of the bus. Segregation and discrimination are not part of Judaism and Israel. It can not be allowed.

Everytime I look at Ashton, Pelosi, or Hillary Clinton I feel as if I have been hit. Yes, the world is going nuts., there is no doubt about it.
26. Dror, American men have their own women to look at.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.28.13)
Very good looking American women, such as Natalie Portman, Yael Markovich, Didi Benami, and many more.
27. #7 Ora
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (07.28.13)
You seriously expecting us to not compare modesty squads in Israel with what happens in Iran or Saudi Arabia? This man was merely looking at a woman, hate to think what would have happened if he had spoken to her
28. # 27 I think
Sagi   (07.28.13)
summary castration.
29. #26 - Peculiar taste ,...
split ,   US   (07.28.13)
Yael Markovich needs another nose job, she would never be featured in Playboy if papa Hefner was still in charge, .... Didi Benami need a couple of nose jobs and complete transplant from the head down,... Portman although pretty face and almost perfect neck (that's why her handlers feature 99% of her picks on google images) should never wear bikini or lingerie without high heals and should hire some fashion guru instead of relying on her taste ;) ,...
30. This man was attacked by Haredim
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.28.13)
That is ALL we know.The rest is pure fantasy.For Haredi haters enough to condemn a whole society.
