1. Yes, unity is the only answer, but...
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.16.14)
please note the very small number of haridim in the photo! So where is the unity?
2. Is Lau the right one to be spouting this?
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (06.16.14)
3. Unite with freeloaders ?
Sagi   (06.16.14)
Not me. There is not one issue that would make me want to unite with these freeloaders. Four times I have donned uniform and held a gun to defend my home and family and country while all they could do was "pray". I will stand shoulder to shoulder with my countrymen any time that we are in danger, these are not my countrymen.
4. Unity means EVERYBODY serves in the IDF and works ALSO!!!!!!
Yoni   (06.16.14)
Why do you expect to live a cushy cozy life while everyone fights and puts their lives in danger for YOU? Pretty selfish self opinion rabbi.
5. amecha kulam tzadikim !
jew ,   europe   (06.16.14)
Hear o israel, G-d is our G-d and is only G-d ! all israel is rightous!
6. Non religious soldiers risking their lives for 3 Yeshiva stu
Adi ,   Zurich   (06.16.14)
Non religious soldiers risking their lives for 3 Yeshiva students. The country is already united and it is nothing to do with Lau calling for unity. Lau. You were silent when Yeshiva boys refused to go to the army. Lau. You were silent when a leading Rabbi. Your colleauge is paying bribe money to policeman in Ashdod. You are silent when men refuse to give their wives divorce causing misery in families. How many good people have been pushed away from a beautiful religion by the horrid examples we see from the Ultra Orthodox Rabbis. You were only silent. Now you are calling for Unity. The country is united as all are Jews, including all the soldiers who are risking their lives day and night. Sadly, we once looked up to people like you but. after all the hypocracy, no more do you have this respect.

8. stop hate each other
jew ,   europe   (06.16.14)
there are those who can fight and there are those who can heal and those who can pray everybody is needed for israel for the body or for the soul stop hateing religious jews we need them as we need army or doctors ... if not them there is no more israel. terrosist are not the one who decide about destiny. where is your faith? G-d is one who in the end rules the world and he said" be a jew" Torah and mitzvot" and if we all will be as He wants us to be , there will be no gun or army who can defeated us look back in the history
9. Rabbis calling for unity
Raptor   (06.16.14)
They are the ones who cause division and now they want unity. I have complete and utter contempt for these people, I do not wish to see them or hear them let alone listen to their pleas for unity. They are irresponsible members of society and their only purpose is to control and manipulate feeble minds.

Al   (06.17.14)
lives are at risk, we would all learn to STFU. These boys are on my mind day in day out.
15. ORA
Sagi   (06.17.14)
The only prayer that ever brought or will bring peace to Israel has three components. 5.56, 155, 0.5
16. Kadosh should have prevented the abduction. Explain, please.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.17.14)
As always, he did not listen to prayers. Maybe there are no ears nor eyes on the kadosh? Rav Lau should explain this.
17. 15 Sagi you deserve the Nobel Prize
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.17.14)
if your formula works. My formula to peace in three steps: 1] Be in peace with myself, therefor i focus on doing what is right and correcting my mistakes 2]Be in peace with people around me ,therefor i focus on their good sides 3]Pray with all my heart and all my soul to G-D I accept G-D's decisions,trusting that He has a broader vision than i and at the end of the day He acts for our good. Sagi,i wish you lots of happiness.
18. 14 Al,These boys are in the heart
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.17.14)
of all Jews.
19. 16Michael, To much hate among Jews

The connection to G-D is disturbed. The Beatles were right All we need is love,love,love.

CJK   (06.18.14)
women are not chattel. no one has the right to demand a woman for himself. people like you covet jewish women. you think it is your right to have jewish women. it is not.
21. Sagi...I get the 5.56 although I prefer the 7.63
Al   (06.18.14)
155 I know ..thanks to my son. The .5 I am not aware of. 'God Guns and Guts made Israel free. We got to fight like hell to save all three.' Thats a sign I saw in a Ramat Gan gun shop 34 years ago. It was across the street from the police station. I pray for those boys day in day out..Its as if they were my own kids.
22. 21
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.19.14)
We are all united in wanting the 3 boys returned safe & sound. We are all glued to the hourly new broadcasts. Every Israeli parent identifies with the parents of these boys. We are all waiting. Am Israel Chai.
23. #19, Catholics used to say that. Converting yet?
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.18.14)
You are making it clear here on YnetNews that you are NOT from Orthodox Judaism. As far as I know, it was Jesus who preached love while surrounded by hating brothers.
24. 21 Al,i had no clue what these...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.19.14)
numbers represent.Thanks for the info.
