1. The government needs to clarify the current human rights/non discrimination laws to address these events or the Charedi tzibur should simply build private venues where they can engage in exclusionary seating (for men-only or women-only events) without an restrictions.

2. Are these nuts also targeting mikvaos, shuls,swimming pools, bathrooms etc,?

3. These selfhating Jews have no other occupation than causing trouble to law abiding citizens for no benefit to anyone.

4. Why are you making this about MBD? They are not targeting MBD, they are targeting all frum jews.

   Please don’t make this about MBD (and I love MBD), and the smoking story has no relevance to this. The story here is about a real spirit of Shmad, and hatred of Hashem’s Torah and those who follow it.

5. T2T…….mikvos should not be mixed….Most are NOT owned by governmental entities and post separate times for men/women or are designed exclusivel for one gender or the other. Public facilities such as swimming pools almost always have special times for men/women only to accommodate religious concerns. The courts have upheld separate swim times at public pools as long as there are hours when both genders are accommodated.

6. Reshantas

7. Well said gadolhadorah

8. What about abortion clinics

9. This is discrimination against the frum community. No one forces anyone to go to the concert.

10. Surprised these women aren’t putting on their rainbow yarmulkas and tzitzis and going to the concert.

11. The people who started this movement can be very proud of all the damage they have caused how many people ranting and raving about such foolish things and I wonderhow many divorces have been caused by the same horrible attitude

12. I am very curious to know how they would react if we start attacking them for their mixed seating events I’ll bet they would tell us about tolerance and other such niceties

13. In response to Takes2, the answer is yes, on this point you are correct. Gender equality is just a ploy and vehicle to obtain acceptance of gays in our society and turn the world back to pre-Mabul days, when a man wrote a ketuba for another man.
    These crazy feminists hold the same sick mentality as Obama’s Liberal Democrat cronies that use gender equality to push their gay bowel movement upon society. The NYS Governor’s brain is likewise comprised of the same filth. K’shmo kein hu; k’homo is his name.
    The feminists threatening court intervention in Haifa were out there waiting a long time for this type of an event to pounce upon way before anyone came up with the idea of MBD having a concert in Haifa. These feminists are the same gays as those behind Witches of the wall. It’s simple math; if men are equal to women and women are equal to men, then why shouldn’t a man who “marries” another man be accepted in society, and why shouldn’t a woman that “marries” a woman be accepted. It’s for this reason only does a woman want to publicly wear a tallis and teffilin – it’s not about women’s rights at all. If they truly wanted to be like men and nothing more than that why are they not grafting a full beard and mustache on their already disgusting faces?

14. Who said your rights to be a male donkey trump my rights to live a life the way I want to according to halocha and minhagim.

15. All nicely said…. but cut me a break this would never fly if it was muslims..They are fakers and ערב רב ‏ “women’s rights” ….yeah whatever if “they” really care go after everyone don’t just target frum hidden.

16. The Haifa municipality should put up a womens only concert to run concurrently. Then its all equal.

17. ערב רב. and the ערב רב government is supporting them. Hashem should bring משיח and take away this ארץ הקודש from ימח שמם, רשעים.

18. And both Mordche and Motty will walk from this event, so the whole thing would be cancelled.
    Something tells me that these people wouldn’t appreciate Mordche’s music anyway.
    Absolute madness!

19. @sonei HaTorah
    I am so embarrassed for you.
    Most of the Mikvaos in Eretz Yisroel, are GOVERNMENT OWNED.
    Oops. Bad mistake on your part

20. GHT, since when are most mikvaos not government entities? Even in the haredi sector, at least a third, and more likely half of the mikvaos are government owned, and outside the haredi sector I doubt there are any non-government mikvaos.

21. Heckter: Your incoherent rant equating seculars, gays, women, abortion rights advocates etc. doesn’t even rise to the more entertaining and comical postings here by more talented trolls. I can assure you that the large percentage of women who you mindlessly call “gay” are quite the contrary. Do they have a secular agenda much different from yours (assuming the latter was knowable), obviously yes. The issue here is entirely whether public facilities in EY must follow certain non-discriminatory guidelines known to all. At religious sites, its entirely appropriate to insist on adherence to “minhag hamokem”. In a public park or sidewalk, equally obviously not. Please study some of the really fine postings by Joseph, neville etc. for some tips on how to structure your rants

22. Reshaim Arurim!

23. The courts have generally distinguished between religious sites/activities (kosel, mikvah, etc versus other public facility (parks, auditoriums, etc) useage when addressing these types of gender “discrimination” claims. i am unaware of any bright line legal standard on how they adjudiate these claims and seem to decide them on a case-by-case basis.
