AddReply(140316,"PS to David","rlp","","12/09/04","The ambivalence is because of the non Torah nature of Israeli sociaty as a whole but it is the Hareidim who live and love the kedusha of Eretz Yisroel not the leftists\nThe Jewish people are bound by Torah not by Land and that is where your perception is off - the Land of Eretz Yisroel was promised to G-d\'s Holy People to fulfill HIS will not to receive advanced Science Degrees");
AddReply(140315,"To David","rlp","","12/09/04","It is too bad that Leftist Jews are so blindsided and devoid of understanding of our role in the world that rather than realizing it is your krumkeit that thinks it is too HOLY to embrace and protect G-d Torah - If you did and Israel weren\'t a society \"LIKE ANY OTHER\" maybe no one would have to die -");
AddReply(140314,"Haredi defense","Israel Zwick","nyc","12/08/04","Your comments about yeshiva students living on dole are off base. They are no different from other students pursuing advanced studies. israel has replaced Europe as the world center for Torah study. AS such, foreign students come from all over to study Torah in Israel and bring income INTO Israel by bringing foreign money and visits from relatives. Torah students are and asset to Israel, that is why the govt is supporting them.  They actually benefit and support the country, despite their lack of political and militry involvement. There is need for improvement, not condemnation.");

Sharon has contained the intifada and reduced support for the PA by demonstrating that they are a bunch of murderous barbarians who have no interest in peaceful coexistence. So far he has not given them one cm of land. He will never compomise Israeli security for diplomatic gains. there is diplomatic maneuvering that we are not aware of. We don\'t have acces to all intel info and negotiations. So don\'t rush to condemn.");

MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL AND IT IS ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT. LIKUD COULD INCREASE THERE FUTURE VOTES AND SEATS BY FOLLOWING THE REBELS NOW...BUT FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY THEY WILL PREFER TO GO THE WAY OF THE LABOR PARTY.

AddReply(140310,"ps","David Hornik","Jerusalem","12/07/04","The haredi parties in governing coalitions generally do seem cynical, unprincipled, and out to strengthen their own community while not having a national agenda. The national issues involve life and death, survival. The haredi parties seem flexible on them. This makes sense because they have an ambivalent attitude toward Israel as a country in the first case. For me, the country itself is a supreme cause; for them, it doesn\'t seem to be. In any case, their behavior causes alienation from Judaism in Israeli society.");
AddReply(140309,"some responses","David Hornik","Jerusalem","12/07/04","To Leonard, criticizing Jews is not anti-Semitic unless it\'s directed at Jewishness as such. Many Jews, especially leftist, get harshly criticized on this site all the time--is it anti-Semitic? Israeli haredim should work and serve in the army like everyone else (some do, but a minority). Mr. Ruddell, you don\'t sound Israeli-born. How many native-Israeli haredim have advanced degrees in science? Rabbi E., I do have strong anger at many haredim for seeing themselves as too holy to fight for this society like the rest of us. Howl\'n, many thanks. Dr. Wolf, you sure could be right.");
AddReply(140308,"Ahavat Yisroel","Rabbi E.","USA","12/07/04","As one of numerous Chareidi Zionists, who look at the national religious camp as our close brothers, I am offended by the lack of Ahavat Yisroel in this article.  It is perfectly all right for people to have disagreements, but the tone must be respectful, and without hatred.  Especially, when we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, we must not allow our disagreements to become divisive.\n\n ");
AddReply(140307,"Hold on a minute","Steven Ruddell","Kiriat Yearim","12/07/04","I am very dismayed by your criticism of the \"Haredim\" that appears in your article. Jew-bashing in the name of anything is still Jew-bashing. Coming on the eve of the Chanukkah holiday, which celebrates the victory of the religious over the non-religious, your comments are all the more ominous. For the Hellenized Jews also thought that they were saving, not abandoning \"true\" Judaism. \nAs for Haredim, not knowing science - I have a B.S. and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.\nMy wife is a former neo-natal intensive care nurse at the Haredi Ma\'anei HaYehsua Hospital in Bnei Brak.");
AddReply(140306,"Anti-Semitism","Leonard","USA","12/07/04","While many of your points are true and valid, many others are baseless and, frankly, antisemitic. What I have read you write about fellow Jews is exactly what the \'Left\' is spewing as anti-religious attitude, which in turn is exactly what the Nazi\'s and co. were saying (and continue to say- though with new clothing) 50 years ago.\nI cannot believe that religious Jews can be blaming their brothers and accusing them as being \'useless, money hungry etc...\' Completely disgusting.\n\nOn a purely logical line of thought, it should be noted that if not for them- the illogically firm believers- there there would be not a single Jew alive today. I could go on and on, but I hope the point is clear.");

Who is always pressuring Israel/Sharon to make concessions for the U.S. scam called the Bush Road Map ,the peace process ?\nI saw a picture today of terrorist Palestinian P.M. leaving a meeting with Syrian F.M. , both with a large grin.\nI know why Israel\'s enemies are laughing.

My dear Jewis brothers and sisters in Israel, your entire political system, created by lefties (Utopian Socialists) is at fault. Israelis, you need a Constitution (Basic Law) and you need an electoral system (representative of districts)that reflects the will of the majority of the Jews of Isreal, and one that holds the people in power responsible to the will of the public. Can you get it? Can you hold on to it? Your survival and the survival of Jews worldwide depend on your success at this.");
