Comments on: Creepy Orthodox Jews resort to violence http://freethinker.co.uk/2009/03/15/creepy-orthodox-jews-resort-to-violence/ The voice of atheism since 1881 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:07:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: STM http://freethinker.co.uk/2009/03/15/creepy-orthodox-jews-resort-to-violence/comment-page-1/#comment-14535 STM Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:38:08 +0000 http://freethinker.co.uk/?p=5140#comment-14535 The only thing that undermined your "enlightened" position in this article was the phrase "preposterous dangling ringlets". There are many Orthodox Jews who wear these as a sign of religious and cultural continuity, and they are peace-loving, faithful men, who would be ashamed to read of what their more extremist co-religionists get up to. Criticise fundamentalism - that's healthy. Stooping to mocking hairstyles lowers the tone and weakens your position.

Considering the above, and their willingness to offer violence to defenceless women, maybe the Knesset should be reconsidering that exemption.

Secular israelis are forced to serve in the armed forces to do the real fighting for them, while these bullies stay home and terrorize women. Wake up Israel, draft these cowards and let them take a chance on getting shot in the arse.....
