Chaverim. The time has come for klal yisroel to organize SUSTAINED, worldwide demonstrations for the Japanese. While our tefilas are important, we also need to do avodah be’poel ie. actual physical work, to accomplish the goal of freeing the yeshiva bochurim. The Japanese judge accused prisoners by military tribunal, not by jury (so prisoners do not get fair treatment). Their prison system evolved from the Japanese prisoner camps in World War II. It’s historical fact that while the Nazis were horrible, the Japanese were 100 times as barbaric and cruel to their prisoners. They consider themselves superior to the rest of the world, but are a barbaric nation. By worldwide demonstrations and protests, and if necessary exposing the world to the cruel, true face of Japan; boycott of Japanese products etc., they WILL LET THE bochurim go. NU?? ‘Im loy achshov, amoysai’- i.e. If not now, then when? When the boys chas v’cholila; become like ‘vegetables’ and are permanently damaged, from their treatment in Japan?

In response to those who think it’s Loshon Horah, YWN did not say that these men are guilty, they just reported that they were arrested. BTW it doesn’t sound like any of you ever learned Chafetz chaim or Shemiras Halashon

#12 and all those who talk about rodfim, I wonder if any of you ever learned hilchos LH, because there is absolutely no heter to publicize their names. If it helps the boys then maybe you could reveal it to the japanese- not to the whole world.

Eicho …

How does this come about? Ppl from frumer homes should become drug dealers? How low have we stumbled?
Raboisai we can’t take for granted anymore our innocence and purity! “Beekaish Yakov laishev beshalva, miyad umad olov rukzoi shel Yoisef.”
We cannot run on autopilot anymore. Let’s share our ideas of how to keep ourselves and the next generations intact.

I will agree with all those who say that we should not publish the names of people. It is Loshon Hora if it is true and it is Motzei Shem Ra if it is not. YWN is a respected site unlike the other one we all know. While it is, a tragedy for those boys to be in prison in Japan, let us first make sure that they have the right people caught. Nevertheless, the Israeli government should request the Japanese government to not sentence those boys. I think that a government can make such a request.
Let us not judge anyone and let us not be judges by the Supreme judge of all.

#10 & 25 (same person) – perhaps you need professional help. Hatred has no place in a Yid. Halochos are halochos and we MUST FOLLOW THEM. And yes, following them will be the only way to get them out. the same mouth that speaks Loshon Hora will never be the same mouth that Teffilos are answered from. So promote doing the right thing and then we stand a chance to have our Teffilos answered,

….and by the way, I would bet that the mothers of these three boys only want their sons back and are not asking to destroy another yids (and his extended families) life.

All of you who are talking about toeles, please explain what it is. Without knowing any names, you shouldn’t ever take a package from someone at the airport just because they look frum. Knowing their names is no toeles at all. publishing their names won’t get the bochurim back a second quicker, what does this have to do with their mothers waiting? I will very happily tell their mother that the zchus of keeping to the halacha will help her son, and not keeping it will only hurt. If it is not true then it is not lashon hara, it is WORSE! I cannot vouch for what a vague “Rabbi of Bnei Brak”, whoever he is, said, but if they weren’t even charged and are currently injailwhat exactly is the heter? These reasons that “feel bad for the mother” and “they are terrible” is only pesach lchatas rovetz. If they were proven to be mchaliley shabbos bifarhesya, then it would be mutar, but I havwn’t yet seen a reason to say that about these uncharged peoplle.
