they can't control the situation as much as they will try to, they can do one major change, STOP INSTIGATING THE CHAREDIM! treat the charedim like the secular population so you won't have protests and demonstrations. the more pressure you put on them the more trouble you'll get.

Although I'm a big supporter of the demonstrations and protests, I can't take the wild actions following it when a few dozens of bochurim just stay around to "finish off" the event with some fires and other silly damages.
If its really known who is doing it, maybe its a good idea their parents should call them home and send them to a local yeshiva.
Problem is that police usually picks up people by random just to show that they arrested so much and that number of "rioters", I remember when they arrested here a disabled yungerman at a protest, he was frees the next day cuz it was just a joke to say he has done something while he can't even walk by himself..

Why don't we just get out of there and let them try to run the country without us? I hate to stay where I'm not wanted.
Instead, we donate here in the U.S.A. and we stop sending billions there. The Israelis don't want us? We don't have to stay. Good bye.
There is no mitzvah to put ourselves in a makom sakana.
They will be glad to see us go for the first month, then it will hit them what they caused.

The same actions deserves the same punishment but ONLY if there is clear and compelling evidence like the eyewitness testimony of the police or security forces. They should treat the yeshiva bochurim from outside of EY exactly the same as they would for a rioting Palestian. Both pose a fundamental threat to the medinah, albeit in different ways. However, they should not blow up the homes or dormitories where these bochurim were living as the would to an arab family of a deportee.

Believe it or not, if the police suspect a chiloni of committing child abuse- they arrest them as well!!! If Arabs riot and cause destruction- they shoot rubber bullets, bulldoze their homes and arrest them!! So far these rioters are getting off pretty easy.

Please explain to me why in this generation parents send teen boys away to live in yeshivot where they are raised like a herd of wild orphans, instead of enrolling them in local Talmud Torah and letting them go home every night to their own parents to raise them to be decent.
In my city we have excellent boys' day schools --believe me, world famous for learning-- yet nice families send their nice sons out of town for years. When the boys return to visit, they have big hats but small hearts. They behave with no manners, no respect. Everyone sees it happen yet no one is asking WHY.
Then they go over to Yerushalayim and roam around, throwing rocks to kill Jewish people---as though no parent or moreh has ever taught them tzor meyrah v'oseh tov.
I am asking sincerely why Jewish parents are not raising their own sons babayis.

One more authentic Satmar. The Austrian police arrested another authentic "Satmar" for defrauding Russian Jews of 140,000 Euro, pocket money for Satmar. That is what I called an authentic erlicher Satmar, ganeive from another Yid, beautiful.

The reason why the parents send their sons is because they are pressured by the rabbonim in the U.S. to do so. The American rabbonim do this so that their counterparts in Israel will have parnossah, also so that the parents will have less influence over their children.

Authentic Satmar= Authentic Am'Haoretz and soneh yisroel. Anyone who does what these arrested bochurim have done deserves to be expelled from EY. This inlcudes the so=called "gadolim" of the Chareidim who have lost any claim to moral or political leadership.

Most of the bochurim who are going to be expelled from Eretz Yisroel are from the small Toldos Avraham chassidus in NYC and London.

I don't think these bochurim are posting their names for dates on "JDate" or Craigslist. Their behavior while in EY should be sufficient reason for them to be shunned and avoided once they are sent home to Lakewood and Monsey.

There are very few Gadolim within the Chareidi community and NONE of them has been directly involved with these riots. The leadership of the extreme group organizing the parking lot riots over shabbos issues are not among the acknowledged gadolei torah and none of them are among the chief rabbinate of either the Ashkenazic or Sephardic communities. The latter have opposed the violence.

These Boys should not be deported they should do hard time in jail. We are a nation that lives our lives based on a Toras Chaim. What does our Torah say about the actions of these rioters. They are Mazikim damagers. It doesn't make a diffrence what your cause is there is never an excuse to damage a fellow Jew. Everything they destroyed needs to be replaced. That cost is going to fall on the Klal which is the Taxpayers. They are in effect stealing from over a Million innocent Jews.The only way to be Mechaper for their crime is to pay for the damages. That is what our Torah tells us. The Holy Day of Yom Kippur is not Mechaper for this Aveira. A Bais Din should convene and rule that these rioters have to pay for the damage that they caused, even if it is in absentia. The people who did this know who they are and if they think that there are no consequences to their actions they are going to be in for a big surprise when they reach the Olam Haemes. These people need to seek guidance and start to pay back the City of Yerushalyim for what they did, they have no other alternative.

There is no comparison. The arabs are citizens of Israel or residents of the PA. The "boys" are US citizens convicted of crimes in a foreign country. Absolutely no different that if they were arrested in London.

The worst part is, the chilonim see you acting like a bunch of wild dogs, and they say to them “why would I ever want to be a part of that?"
This is not what Hashem wants. He wants us to love our non-frum Brothers, not burn a dumpster if they are chllul Shabbos. Honestly, is this the way you would want you kids to act? Even if you want to protest, at least do it in civil fashion, like Martin Luther King or Gandhi (if you know who they are) and do it peacefully and without violence. Have a sit-in, block traffic, do something, anything, but not this. Hashem wants us to act like menschen, not a pack of dogs. That being said , Personally , I was brought up frum , went off the derech for a while and came back 7 years ago, But let me tell you, when I wasn’t frum and I broke Shabbos , and I was treated like this , they would have to lock me up , B/c I would take a baseball bat to these kids heads. Same goes for now, If I saw people doing this to police officers or people who Broke Shabbos in NY, they better run. Its both sick , and shameful, and this isn’t something I can just watch happen easily. I hope all you get locked up , and deported, as this is the only way to quell the rioting .

I agree completely, I think you phrased tht wonderfully.why must parents send their children away, rather than take responsibility and rais their own children, instead of shipping them off for rebbeim who will never feelthe same level of need to educate and properly raise another persons child.

Actually these "bochurim" who were in jail were from "the Mir", and they were Americans. I was there in E"Y then. They were on the street making fires in garbage cans, throwing stones, and "having a good time". By the way, they were caught on video by a lady in Meah Shearim, screaming "Mirrer Midnight Madness".
Parents of girls looking for "good bochurim" that have "The Mir" on their resume - BEWARE!
And shame on the parents that send their sons to E"Y to "have a good time"

by throwing rocks and burning rubbish bins and rioting is a chillull Hashem and speculators may think that a sommunity that can cmmit these offences is also capable of having a mother who starves her son, chas vshalom.
these offences which i have already stated gives the world an irrational and negative picture of how from jews are supposed to act, even in non Jewish papers in countries far off in Australia have degrading articles about frum yidden.
