She failed to recognize and yield to another culture and she got her butt kicked. Do I think the Jews were in the right for harming her? No. They should have thrown her ignorant butt off the bus, thats for sure! You dont mess around in a place like Jerusalem.

Most Israelis are secular, and many are very exasperated with the behavior of the religious puritans in their midst. For one thing, many ultraorthodox residents of Israel don't even serve in the IDF, and soak up extensive government aid to study in yeshivas for years on end, rather than joining the Israeli economy.

Really? Israel is every bit the " terrorist" that any other country in the middle east. The only reason we are in bed with them is because American Jews (who have lots of power and money) support them. Don't you find it odd that no matter who is our President they automatically support Isreal? I think your the tart dude now go to bed.

I think the politically correct answer is 'all ways of doing things are equal,' 'who are we to judge,' 'it's ok for them to get violent over something that seems so dumb,' ... Something like that anyway.

These black hatted, braided hair, bearded bullies cannot be justified and have not been justified in anything posted here. This is no different than the religious police of the Taliban, and no different than what we would or could have in this country if we allowed the Republican Religious Right their way. I can see James Dodson crusaders beating women with too short skirts right here in the USA. Thing is, the bullies feel justified, with no guilt because they are just doing the "will of God".
In this woman's case she had 3 choices, move, get beat or tell the bullies that she is in her period and therefore unclean so they could not touch her. I think she should have gone with moving after trying the unclean routine.
These guys are lucky, Israel, is an armed society, even more so than Texas. But bullies sense who to victimize. I am kindda a Clint Eastwood type from Grand Torino. As Clint's character I often have a 1911 45 at hand, I am 62 with white hair and I mind my own business. I carried a 45 on and off for 2 years mostly on for the year I was in Nam. I would hesitate to deal with this situtation. Black Suited Jews bleed too. I would not overseas though, here yes.

If I were you, I'd jump on a airplane and go teach those "These black hatted, braided hair, bearded bullies" a lesson. Go ahead and make those "Black Suited Jews bleed". Big tough internet hero like yourself should have no problem showing them who's boss.

POP...Was that you Kdog pulling your head out, or is it still in there. I mind my own business, and I stated clearly I would run if overseas. Do you have reading issues? There are programs, government paid to help. If your mouth is as brave in the real world as it is here on this forem I suspect life is a real pain for you.

Maybe I should change my handle to Armed Liberal
