Seriously!!! just GO AWAY GLICK!! go away !! Before you do your little "hunger strike" over tobacco! How about you protest against the HIGH costs of living in Israel!! it's as if everything is perfect and the only thing that's missing is a tobacco tax!! We need tobacco to survive the pressure of living here! I switched to loose tobacco because it's just way too expensive to buy the regular ones, now GENIUS glick wants THAT to be taxed too.. Just go away and play some other field. What do you stand to gain from this tax btw?
2. MK's correct pass the tax give the MK a sandwich...

and no as a general rule I don't agree with MK Mr. Glick...but this time he's got a point.
(on a separate note George F. Steiner - that wasn't a nice thing to say, shame on you! If you were a decent human being you would apologize straight away)
3. goodness y r y'all being so rude...
(06.12.18)
Glick just thinks differently from the rest of us.
He's harmless (excepting for the whole business with the Temple Mount) best to just let'em be.
4. liked Glick until now he just ruined it - Smokers Rights....

Thought he was a freedom fighter who supported our rights? Now he will punish adults smoking legally by choice because laws are not being followed?

Glick is targeting the lower class who are the only ones who will suffer from this .

Another example of the UN telling nations what they have to do? What happened to autonomy and our own nation?

Never saw Glick as a globalist and he should be ashamed that he would go on a hunger strike to force me to pay more for my tobacco. Its hard enough to live in Israel as it is.

As for WHO who has an agenda item ONLY TARGETING ISRAEL while blaming Israel for anyone cutting their finger from Damascus to Cairo. Another antisemitic org spreading lies about Israel and Jews.

WHY IS GLICK WORKING WITH AN ANTISEMITIC ORG TO PUSH HIS UNDEMOCRATIC AGENDA?
5. last time it was tried there were mass protests - repeat??

6. Yeah, really? It'll make a new breed of tobacco-traffickers!

7. Rabbi Glick does not want to live after losing his wife to a
Rivkah   (06.13.18)
stroke. Loose tobacco is healthier if it has fewer additives. It is the additives that make cigarettes so toxic.
8. Sorry, all of you have it all wrong about tobacco -
barbara ,   Haifa   (06.13.18)
It's got to be banned, completely. Tobacco plantations burned down - no more cigarettes, cigars, pipes - period. It is only pollution of our precious air and health (which is costing the government a lot of money). Get rid of it. Don't raise taxes - people will sell their souls for the bad habit.
9. if thats how he thinks politics works he doesn't belong
zionist forevr   (06.13.18)
You do not go on hunger strike until the government agrees to increase taxes and anybody who wants to be an MK let alone form their own party should not be acting this way.
There are proper procedures such as writing letters or even starting a public campaign which is not hard to do these days with social media, governments do not change laws because one man decides he will go on hunger strike until the law is changed.

Doesn't matter if his views are right or wrong but somebody who wants to be an MK and political party leader acts does not do this sort of thing.
