and deserve max. sentence. ZERO tolerance. This must be stopped ASAP

A Jewish state should not have boys and girls in the same school. When will the secular learn?

Good kids don't rape. Or record rapes on video. And they've clearly already turned to crime. And they are already damaged, clearly, as they've caused the worst kind of long-term damage to a girl imaginable. Or does she not matter in your view, Gadi? I know you've got to represent your clients, Gadi, but perhaps you should keep the rhetoric out of the realm of the offensive.

Look what Haredi Education produces! Rapists, Drug attics, Murderers etc;. The Haredim, Must Accept the secular authority and bring core curriculum into their schools, and overall make their Education similar to the secular education. We need equality.

What is happening to our morals? Reading what that lawyer uses as a defence makes me sick to the stomach. Poor boys...they must be the victims! These boys need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

when 13+ boys rape a young girl and then show the video shows not just a hedonistic value system but worse, a total lack of regard for an individual. I personally believe Hollywood's corrupt movies influence a once Jewish society that abandons its values for that of trash.

A horrible crime by young teenagers. I cannot believe that so many kids were involved at once. They certainly deserve a harsh punishment in order to help the girl to somehow overcome those traumatic incidents!

, in the same cell with a bunch of rapists. Hopefully that should be what they deserve..

They will get treated like juveniles, but will be problems their entire lives. This isn't a "mistake". If this is all true, then they are evil to the core.

Besides the pain of this rape the victims needs to cover her face so you guys don't take a picture at her? Why do you (self-called Journalist) do not publish instead the Aggressors Photos?

the boys did the wrong thing if they forced them upon her. The proper way is to say "no" to the girl even if she invited them.

I highly doubt they were Jews however I can guarantee the victim was a Jew

What is happening these days in Israel? When I first heard of the story, I thought it must have occurred in a high crime country like South Africa or the USA.. I never imagined that this horrible crime would have happened in Israel. Sadly, it seems these kind of stories are becoming routine and more common then it ever had been. I've visited Israel many times, and always felt safe and protected. I no longer feel that way now however. There was a time when the danger came from "outside the country", but now it seems that it's coming from "within the country". Where's the law? What's the government doing?

13 boys will be forever condemned by HaShem. For them, they have lost any claim to the eternal kingdom and will go to hell. Nothing they can ever do can change that since to cause one of HaShem's little ones to stumble (rape of a little one for example), it would be better for that person that a millstone were hanged around their necks and cast into the sea. It is impossible for HaShem to lie, so these 13 MONSTERS will not ever know light or mercy or water after they die and are cast into hell with its eternal torments. The only way they can reconcile themselves to HaShem is to PROVIDE for the girl for her entire lifetime if one of them marries her and if she consents to that and her parents consent to that. ONLY THAT ONE can be forgiven by HaShem. That won't happen since these vile monsters are from the pit of hell already with Satan in their hearts and minds and souls and actions. They will be forever cursed during their lifetimes.

????? ????? "they did not know she was younger" So what? "They are good kids" In your world, yes. "would be best to let them go" bla bla bla The best one is this: "we do not want them to turn to crime" WTF? They already did!

They are all over 14 years old, the know what they were doing. The girl has a trauma for a lifetime.

Israel should follow China's lead, and ban internet pornography.

Now, when a lawyer(His kingly Gadi Zilbershlag) for the twin brothers (imagine engaged in two, and that's of course more forgivable!)advance the superlative description about them of being "Good Boys", then I have to check in some odd dictionary what it means to be BAD, it must awfully GOOD! The whole horrible event should awaken the educational system in Israel, and make all the leaders shiver at the idea, that two teenagers who just raped a girl of 12 years, can be said to be "good boy". We lost the distinction between the decency behaviour and the unmitigated delivery of pornographic one. Educational system in Israel which got a good wake up in its failure, is being materially shown that not only shool children are mathematically frown upon, but evn the civic conduct is foreign to some of them (I like the description :Central Israel....would that be Tel Aviv, the good milieu of country boys?!!!) Ignoble, terrifying for the young lady whose life is been destroyed twice over.

They're worried about the effect of remand on the boys!?! What about the effect on this young girl??? Her whole life is endangered. Her emotional stability, already weak, has been destroyed. Shame on Gadi Zilbershalg that he could even present such an argument!

I have always said NO to Sarah B, but she has always been persistent...So what can I do?

Depravity is in all sections of Israeli Society which has failed in its Dream in many areas .But it's Universal a Human Abomination Charecteristic .In Judaism at least all Boys would face severe punishment maybe life sentences and their parents and the school pay heavy compensation.

why do you think this has anything to do with religious Jews? I for one am convinced it's north Tel Aviv Ashkenazi elite

Your attempt at being witty is-UGH!

By LAW they are minors . And that's what counts .By your "belief" they are not minors , but it's only a superstition . They must be punished , that's for sure .

Push some one a little too far and they can explode. Look at how many Rabbis have been implicated of sexual misconduct...The latest was the case of a Rabbi that was caught in his car fondling and kissing a fifteen year old boy, only to be given a light sentence. It is an outrage... Enough with the concept of 'hole in the sheet' and let us Jews be normal again.

This society was built on free love. What is new here?

value system is misconstrued. I believe value system should come from parents in the early years. In this case, I see no respect for the opposite sex.
