Hundreds of haredim had gathered to protest the arrest of six men from Mea She’arim for alleged involvement in a financial scandal earlier that day. The protesters threw rocks, calling police officers Nazis. A cameraman was reportedly injured.
Police evacuated the haredim from the square, where they had attempted to block traffic.

Look at the photos- Sunday is a work day. How do they have time to go out and demonstrate on a sunday afternoon with such short notice. Either they should be in the Bet midrash or they should be working. Something is really wrong here …….
they are becoming a dangerous laughing stock.
they riot every time one of them gets arrested whether tax invasion and even a mother who starved her son
why not proclaim their innocence and say we will prove it in court.
i guess they all know the truth, they are most lily guilty
.למרבה הצער, אין אחדות בכלל בארץ ישראל. זה מצב עצוב מאוד
Seems to be more yerushalmis there than at levyas of terror victims
by my account its still afternoon seder… how come I don’t see anyone learning?
when you play you pay… This is just beginning. The shtik , of imposing on society at large their own behavior like Beit Shemesh is just a beginning for the EDA. For years the left, also sonei all religious has been looking for excuses to wipe out Chareidim. Beit Shemesh gave it to them.. Where are all the Rebbes and roshei Yeshivas screaming for protests against these meshegoim??
All of them will get hit for their silence by the Govt. and Irreligous. That these so callled manhigim do not comprehend.
A generation of batlunim has spawned. They don’t learn and don’t work. This is their outlet. Give a man a job and he he won’t have time for this nonsense – it would be beneath his dignity. Chazal say that idleness leads to destruction.
There is something very wrong with these people.
These people are stuck in a time warp..they just can’t seem to get out of…
Everyone is Nazis..and every investigation is an inquisition..and every critical article is a blood libel..and every dissenter from within needs to be put in cherem…
Get real…
We looked in dismay at the entitlement mentality in France that caused youths to burn cars in Paris. We shook our heads when do nothing bums in London rioted and caused millions of pounds of damage. Inner city teens and youths in the US have the highest incarceration rate in the country, and a huge part of that fact is attributed to them having nothing to do with their lives.
There’s a pattern. Having no direction, no responsibilities, no sense of self worth or value, all contribute to growing anarchy and violence.
It’s too bad that Chareidim are experiencing the same. You’d like to think that we’d know better, after all, Pirkie Avos makes it clear that working is a virtue and idleness is dangerous. This tremendous chillul hashem was, and remains, inevitable. But, still, a shame.
I just got an idea for a new “Law and Order” spinoff.
Baruch HaShem to live in the generation when the mask is finally pulled off the face of these ערב רב and their foolish wise men. The ploys they use are straight out of the criminology textbooks; the first being to claim to be the victims. “It’s the left, the zionists, the media, the police. Everyone is out to get us! Haredi-bashing!!” And while this smokescreen is going on, quietly, without anyone knowing, they go about their business stealing money from widows and orphans to fatten their pockets.
I am shocked. I thought that there was no such thing as Chareidi violence; just one or two spitting incidents that were blown out of all proportion by the secular media.
They never should started with gur
There are two sides to every story. Since these, as well as any Jew is my family I feel caught in the middle of something devious and divisive and have for a while, Some big brother of mine needs to go visit their brothers in Jail and Davine and some sister needs to go invite protesters to a Shabbos meal to show unity and love. This dis-unity has to be stopped. Period. Just saying. I CHOOSE NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE MORE THAN MY FLESH AND BLOOD FAMILY.
