ADL slams religious affairs minister's 'derogatory' comments
Minister David Azoulay reportedly characterized Reform Jews as 'a disaster for the people of Israel' and referred to Women of the Wall's prayer activities as a 'provocation,' while MK Israel Eichler likened female worshippers to church arsonists.
In a statement issued over the weekend, ADL also pointed to the "outrageous" comments by Knesset Member Israel Eichler (United Torah Judaism), who compared the Women of the Wall movement to the perpetrators of Wednesday night's hate crime arson attack on the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish in northern Israel, as compounding the damage done by Minister Azoulay’s statements.
In a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, MK Eichler wrote that the Women of the Wall who engage in Torah reading at the Western Wall are "not any less dangerous than vandals who attacked the Christian site on the Sea of Galilee."

Those poor orthodox jewish men who can't touch woman ( I guess they can when married as one in the article has 14 children- gee I wonder if he has more than one wife? ) so they can't go to the wall, with all these women. Kinda like saying to the Reform Jews, GET YOUR WOMEN IN ORDER.
