1. Exactly! Look what happened to Mr O. He became a brother
Alan ,   SA   (09.15.15)
2. Surprised that the article didn't mention
Eric R. ,   USA   (09.15.15)
That Hawaii, in just 56 years of statehood, has already had a Jewish governor (Linda Lingle) and has a Jewish US Senator (Brian Schatz).
3. How dare you !
ky   (09.15.15)
Publish an article that may suggest that Jews can lead a normal life of integration with others and actually get five minutes enjoyment from life, Every Jew knows that it is his or her duty to gather in crowds , live in Israel wear kipah, go to shul and fight wars and anti- semites . This is what being Jewish is all about
4. Israeli con-artists Peddlers
Dov ,   London   (09.16.15)
These illegal workers on tourist visas selling crap products at inflated prices so called dead sea products etc should be reported immediately to immigration they are the worst PR we Israelis could ever have. groups of con artists working illegally on tourist visas in USA London Australia in fact everywhere in the word there is a shopping mall. I've seen them in Barcelona also. They are simply an embarrassment and criminals. It is a disgrace how they prey on the old and vulnerable. I have seen them in action they are the lowest of the low. I encourage all Diaspora Jews and Israeli abroad to stand up against this indecent practice and report these people they bring shame to our nation.
5. Why the disasters ?
Eli Ganan ,   Amsterdam / Holland.   (09.16.15)
Devarim 31:24-29 Yeshayahu 29:13 Yeshayahu 59: 1-15 EG
6. To sarcastic ky #3, does 80% intermarriage rate satisfy you?
Jake   (09.16.15)
Is that your definition of integration and living a normal life? By wholesale assimilation?
7. to 6
iselin ,   oslo   (09.17.15)
Yes, I think assimilation is the way to go. Live and let live. Be happy. Ethics are all you need. Leave the myths, fairy tales and guilt-tripping behind.
8. censorship
iselin ,   oslo   (09.17.15)
It looks like my talkback has been censored, or has it just taken longer than usual for it to be approved?
9. governor
baron ,   canada   (09.17.15)
I am pretty sure the former governor of Hawaii was Jewish
10. To Iselin on "Ethics and humanism"...
Ben ,   Modiin   (10.12.15)
Jews have assimilated among non-Jews for millennia... Being that you suggest it as a good alternative, your family obviously did not, and you have no idea what you are talking about As for the "ethics" you refer to... Do you realise that the majority of the laws and human rights observed by modern western society today have their origin in the Torah? Leave Judaism and you or perhaps your kids will eventually just answer to a different authority... adhere to different beliefs, which won't necessarily make you happier. From what this article says about the Economic situation in Hawaii, it doesn't sound like there is much of a future there...
