1. the government folds out of fear of the haredim
doda ,   Givatayim   (07.02.17)
and as long as the haredi blackmail is more powerful than the wish for good for all Israelis the rest of us are not counted. Don't think for a moment that we let outsiders fight our battles or us. We fight every day. It just seems that the PM is more influenced by his need to look good to the Americans, so if that what it takes we'll gladly accept your pressure on him.
2. What injustice exactly is suffered by American Jews?!
C   (07.02.17)
they live comfortably in the united states, in relative security.
they have their reform synagogues.
they can drive and even work on shabbat.
they can eat whatever they want.
they do not study the torah.
they support the arab palestinians.
they support the iran fake deal.
they supported obama unconditionally.
they hate netanyahu and they hate the haredim.
they claim to support Israel, but only as long
as israel does what she is told to do.
most of them never come to israel, or come rarely.
yet, they make a huge fuss about having their own
prayer privileges at the kotel.
they claim that they contribute money to charities.
so now they are trying to blackmail the nation.
i cannot wiat for the leviathan to start producing gas.
3. The figures show that
Incredulous   (07.02.17)
"The figures show that 20 percent of Israelis visit the site less than once every five years. Most visit once in two to five years. Only 0.6 percent said they visit the Western Wall frequently." Could it be because they don't want to put up with the "haredi" bullsh*t?

7. No the fear is of you and your Mickey Mouse Judaism
UsJewsWBtheLosers ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.17)
I wouldn't be surprised if many US Jews are just looking for
a way out of support of Israel and this is their opportunity big
mistake to threaten Israeli Jews nothing worse .
8. There is already a place for them to pray
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (07.04.17)
And it is being expanded
So why all the fuss?
If anyone is concerned about human rights they should protest the fact that ONLY Muslims are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount
9. Moshe Dayan's biggest mistake
(07.04.17)
was to allow Muslims the right to Temple Mount.
They should have been run off Israel's holiest site.
It's not too late make them leave!
