1. Unbelievable degree of hatred towards Haredim

2. sounds like 2 schools using the same bldg.

The ultra orthodox dont want to be secularized and the non religious dont want religion forced on them. So, what's wrong with that? But the Education Ministry used this as an opportunity to coerce the orthodox to accept secular standards. 2 schools using the same building is a great example of mutual tolerance.
3. A other loss for the seculars

4. #3 it's not a loss for the seculars
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (09.05.14)
rather its a loss for the antireligious to force their secular values on the religious.
5. Why hate Haredim ?

Hilonim like to meet in the evening to remember the good'ole days in Hutz-la-aretz, when Mom put fishnet stockings and went to the barracks, bringing bananas, coffee and chocolate. They can't stand someone reminding that they are supposed to behave as Jews here.
6. #2 - Lemmings Hotline
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.05.14)
The problem is that there's no "mutual tolerance". This is, by all accountsd, a strong-arm attempt to change the nature of an arts and language school to a common Haredi school for girls. The "classrooms" to be taken over are the art studios, music rooms and language laboratories, thereby changing the school from a unique arts and language school with selective entrance criteria to a neighborhood school that borders on an area that is becoming mostly Haredi. If you think nthis is an example of tolerance, you're reading the wrong papers...
7. Abutbully

Once again the bullies win. What kind of example is this for our children. If the whole process was done properly maybe it could have been an opportunity to teach tolerance. But instead of behaving like a leader, Moshe Abutbul behaved like a bully he might have won the battle, but hopefully one day he will lose the war.
8. #6 no problem with arts and language...
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (09.07.14)
the issue is that the arts and language school only has 140 students in a school built for 500. Empty "art studios, music rooms and language schools" should be converted if the local community wants that. After all, the govt works for the people, right?... And the arts and language students don't want to live in religious Bet Shemesh. They prefer artsy Tel Aviv.
