Jerusalem – ‘Center against Charedi-phobia’ Opens In Israel

    35

    FileJerusalem – A “Center against Haredi-phobia” was established with the objective of putting an end to the situation where “haredi blood is shed with no consequence,” according to the founders’ words, or at least to enforce compliance with the basic rules of ethics and fairness towards haredim.

    The center’s staff promises to take action against “anti-haredi racism in the media, courts, and government decisions.”

    The center’s first statement issued Tuesday claimed that were the decision on Barzilai not made by a haredi minister, the media and the Left would have “cheered the government for being sensitive to the graves and showing morals and tolerance to the helpless.”

    The statement continued: “When a right-wing government and a haredi (deputy) health minister passed a decision that was already passed by the leftist Olmert government, the liberals went on the attack as if he had sold the country to religion. Is there an explanation for this besides harediophobia and the barrier presented by the beard and kippah worn by Deputy Minister Litzman?”

    It takes a special kind of community whose aim it is to make Israel a theocracy, while using democracy as a weapon.

    “had the decision on Barzilai not made by a haredi minister…the left would have cheered the government for being sensitive to the graves and showing morals and tolerance to the helpless”
    that’s actually not the case, because people aren’t upset that the bones weren’t disturbed at all, the people are upset because the health minister is being controlled by the words of a rabbi who argues with scientists, without even coming to look at the evidence!
    people are upset with their view of the chareidim because they don’t like it when they riot, burn trash cans, steal corpses, attack women, put raspberry syrup on benches, throw rocks, don’t work, take gov’t money without contributing, reap the benefit of a country they don’t believe in, and don’t fight in the military!!
    perhaps they need to start a different kind of center, but instead, teaching how not to make yourselves look like barbarians to the minority members of the chareidim that does these terrible things.

    If they want respect they have to give respect! The whole intel fiasco and every other protest where there’s rock throwing, other forms of violence, rioting and destruction as well as fires set to burn garbage and other things does not engender respect. Stop chareidi violence!

    Let me understand something. When did haredi blood get shed, with or without consequence?

    It would be far more appropriate to establish a school to teach chareidim not to constantly make a chilul shem shomayim. Maybe the gavad (most misnamed since pope Pius) should be given a cue that he owes Hadassah Hospital an apology for the allilas dam he concocted ,regarding the child who we now know was starved by his psychotic mother. Maybe we should have shiurim for charedi youth on how to respect their wives, how to respect public property, how to serve their people in the defense forces, and how to include the honesty and integrity mandated by our Torah and enunciated in Choshen Mishpat. These are at the root of the anti charedi sentiment, this is why yidden are fed up with chayos hakodesh!

    “haredi blood is shed with no consequence,”

    Maybe they should rename themselves “The Center for Hysterical Chareidi Hyperbole”.

    it’s interesting how much hate is spewed on this site from the left. We all know that the tiny minority of charedim who act badly is no more than the tiny minority of chilonim who act improperly. It seems that the knee jerk response of the charedi haters is to always knock charedim no matter what they do. It seems to me that they are very insecure in your own judaism so you feel the need to knock those to the right of you.

    Charedim need to open a center for secular-phobia and educate their children to respect ALL humans. I might be asking too much when their animosity towards other Jews is well known. “My way or the highway” is the Charedi way, but yet they have a chutzpa to call foul against other Jews who don’t want to wear streimels and kitels in the desert heat to be “chossids”

    The funny thing about much of the Hiloni media is that if you take the things they say and replace the word “Haredi” with something like “African-American” people would go crazy and there’d be tons of cries of racism. But if you say those same things about Haredim no one seems to care. It’s a ridiculous double standard and the anti-Haredi discrimination needs to stop.

    Chillul HaShem is being mechalel shabbos in public.
    Protesting against chilul shabbos in public is Kiddush HaShem.

    In Moshe Rabbeinu’s words “Mi Lashem Eilai”.
    Which side are you on?

    The big joke to me is that the writers here on VIN defending the charaidim in eretz yisroel are too stupid to figure out that to the charaidim in eretz yisroel they are not much better than R’ Avi Weiss.

    To many Israeli charaidim, the very facts that a) you own a computer b) use the internet and c) have enough of a secular education to read and write English (poorly, but usually somewhat understandably) makes you all modernesheh fools whose wallets they can tap by pretending to respect you as one of their own but nothing more.
