Comments on: "Modesty Patrols" Sow Fear In Israel

Ultra-Orthodox Jews, On Campaign For Purity, Allegedly Stone Women For Wearing Red Blouses

Religious people are losing their minds. Now, more than ever, these are the kinds of people we need to keep away from the US Constitution.

"A 17-year-old who moved to Israel from New York five years ago said she was hospitalized after being attacked with pepper spray by a crowd of men outraged that she was walking down a Jerusalem street with boys."

I''ve always wondered about the sanity of those who voluntarily move to Israel from the U.S., and especially those who move their children to what is basically a war zone. Go figure religios. Saw some woman on the idiot box a few years back who had moved to Israel from the States and one of her kids ended up getting killed in a Palestinian suicide bombing. How fricken bright was that decision in hindsight?

Fanatics, whether they be Islamic, Jewish or Baptist, have a negative influence on our societies totally disproportionate to their numbers. Frankly if I lived there I''d try to convince a few friends to join me in a ''conversation'' with those thugs - the kind of ''conversation'' that involves baseball bats and knee surgery.

Sounds like the Jewish Taliban.

Sounds like Sharia law, Jewish style.

[incog-nito]

No big deal. The Taliban and Saudis already do this kind of stuff anyway.

Isreal better wake up and put a stop to this nonsense. They have a lot of supporters here in America, including some that risk and often lose their lives for them. If Isreal continues to act like our enemies act, we will not see any differance between them as clearly as we see it now. Dont let it come to be that we "understand" the others whackos (Iran) point of view. Recco to sane-thinking Isreal citizens - PUT A STOP TO THIS NOW!!!!!

These whackos are our great ally? This is what we spend billions on every year?

If this were "Eye-Ran" or some other part of the Middle East, I can only imagine the response to this story from America''s extreme right.
