#14 – ““These people do more for Israel”, please don’t insult my intelligence, these people are anti- Medinah Israel and anti-zionist, all they care about is their 4 amot of “eretz Israel”, they don’t care what happens in YESHA, or what happened to our brothers in Gush Katif, that is a FACT”
I do not see you bringing any facts into this discussion, only a disgusting stereotype of the average Chaerdi. How could you possibly know how every Chaerdi felt about Gush Katif? Did you walk around every Chaerdi neighborhood in E”Y taking a poll? And then you get all worked up at reports of discrimination…
And if saying that learning Torah is a far better shmirah then serving in the army insults your intelligence, I will be proud to insult your intelligence any day.

Maybe Peres y”s will give the High Court one of his “Righteous Among the Nations” awards since they spared some of the mothers?

Exactly what law was broken?

Did the Knesset pass a law on discrimination?
How is discrimination defined? By race, religion, country of origin, sexual preference?
How is discrimination measured? By absolute discrimination, discrimination by result?
Does religious discrimination apply to religious institutions?

Did the Judges create a new law based on the consensus of world legal opinion?

Who gave the Supreme Court the right to make new laws?

If the Supreme Court is making laws that cannot be appealed then it is functioning as a Constitutional Court. But Israel has no Constitution and the Supreme Court was never given the right to function as one.

Do laws made in the 50s and 60s in the United States, or in Europe have any bearing on Supreme Court decisions?

Who said the consensus of national law, based on common law, which is based on Roman law should be the fundamental basis of Israel Law?

Perhaps instead of Roman Law as a base, we should look to Torah values as a base for inspiration.

In any event this question has never been settled in Israel and for a minority segment of the population to insist on Roman Law / Common Law / consensus of national law is in effect usurping the law for its own secular purposes.

Israel has never been defined as a secular state, yet Judical activists are doing exactly that.

To mw13,
“These people do more for Israel”, please don’t insult my intelligence, these people are anti- Medinah Israel and anti-zionist, all they care about is their 4 amot of “eretz Israel”, they don’t care what happens in YESHA, or what happened to our brothers in Gush Katif, that is a FACT…
And you keep spinning the same lame excuse that this is not about racism. This, have been going on for years!!.
To “proud orthodox jew” you said that “six out of the nine bothers are sfaradim” WRONG!!! ONLY 3 were sefaradim that converted to the ashkenazi way of life!!! so that means that they are now considered “ashkenazim”!!!

#7 – There is no racism in Emanuel. What happened was that the Slonimer Chassidim did not want to send their daughters to a school that was attended by girls that did not not have the same religious standards. Because these girls happened to be Sephardim, the Israeli High Court said this was racism, and did not allow the Emanuel parents to send their daughters to a different school. Now the Gedolim have led us in protesting the secular Israeli High Court deciding what schools chaeridim must go to.

#9 – “why don’t the jewish organizations of chutz la’aretz pressure the government ”

I shudder to think how much jail time these “judges” would have given Sholom Rubashkin. . . . .

The court added it plans another hearing in the case on Sunday, (June 27th) and that session will also be a ‘closed-door’ hearing as a result of the disrespectful response of the tzibur in the first hearing.

Is this a joke?!? If it is it’s not that funny!

Besides all the human rights & child welfare groups -a) how come Netanyahu has been so absolutely quiet about this whole affair, and b) why don’t the jewish organizations of chutz la’aretz pressure the government that if they don’t do something about the matzav, they’ll just stop giving them money?

#6 – “all these people” do more for Israel than serve in the army. They protect it with the zechus, of Torah, the best shmirah there is. “Aleh v’rechev v’aleh b’susim, v’anachnu b’shaim Hashem Elokainu nasker!”
