“We will take a hard stand against those who attempt to strike fear in citizens fulfilling their duty to the state,” the prime minister vowed.
Netanyahu added that the number of haredim who enlist in the army has “grown meaningfully in recent years.”

Mr’ Netanyahu: you can take hard stand against jews but it will not change them, they have a torah & rabbi’s who they will follow, jews don’t belong in the IDF & will not join them I promise you, & BTW from the pictures sounds like they catch bin ladin, for a few bucrim screaming you bringing in you military? What a joke.
Despicable and disgusting,
These people are completely out of control. They live off the fat of the land , and when they bleed the country dry like locusts, they come here for a handout. It’s impossible to go to shul in the morning and not be inundated by these parasites. I say cut off ALL social welfare programs , until they demonstrate that they can behave like civilized humans. and that they will start to police themselves and root out these thugs I’m hoping that their “Rebbes, and Roshei Yeshiva will stand up and ostracize these chayas, but I’m not holding my breath
It is high time that the government take off it’s silk gloves,when dealing with these criminally insane ignorant savage gangsters,these animals must be hunted down one by one ,and together with their teachers and mentors given long prison sentences, or better yet deported to their heroes and friends in Gaza and Tehran.
Enough is enough….this is the third or fourth such attack in recent months. Chareidi soldiers should be authorized to use their weapons and live ammunition against the dreche that attack them for serving the medinah. Maybe after a few of these animals are themselves lying bleeding in the streets will the message get through the Chareidi leadership: “No More…If you attack a member of the IDF you will be put down like a terrorist which is really what you are”.
Like in the times of the Greeks, the hashmonean leaders has to battle those who were weak in their beliefs,before they fought against the real enemy. We have a dearth of Torah being studied, and the little we have, they are trying to take away from us.
I remember when we used to think of Mea Shearim and Geulah as havens of Torah and a pure way of life. Sigh. Now it seems that these communities have turned into loony bins of fanatics and violent ignoramuses with vast amounts of time on their hands. Ignorance and indolence are not Jewish values.
Let us see what brave Haredi leaders stand up and object to this atrocious behavior. It should be mandatory to keep their government funding.
I am anxiously waiting to see which, if any, of the gedolim condemn this. It is high time they spoke up about this!
Unless the leaders of these extreme Haredim don’t step up and condem these pathetic acts of senseless violence it will not change. Sad to say it might change due to the Israeli gov actually deciding to finally stop funding and protecting these groups.
Interesting how the irreligious, treif-eating, netanyahu (who took the torah of moshe rabeinu & dumped it) is suddenly piping up when a few bocherim or yingeleit make a little noise in mea shearim.. And all jew haters here on vin cheer on Netanyahu and despise the frum yidden… This is what hatred towards a talmud chuchem means.. When the isreali govt digs up our forefathers ancient graves in the holy places of yaffo and shoham we happen not to hear a word from anyone here on vin.. Its the mea shearim yingeleit who go out daily and try to stop the tractors and let our holy people rest in peace.. Just an interesting perspective in this false world.. May moshiach come today and dismantle this state which is a kfira in hashem UMEIN!
When EY was suffering from a wave of suicide bombings in 2002, it mobilized its resources and put an end to such vile acts, by utilizing better intelligence, to identify the perpetrators, before they could strike again. Therefore, if EY could do that against such determined terrorists, why is it that it can’t mobilize the same resources to end this religious extremism? There is no doubt that the Shin Bet knows who is behind these attacks on religious soldiers. The information must have been given to Netanyahu. Therefore, the question is, when is he going to do something about it? Words are not respected, only tough and decisive action. The Middle East is a very tough neighborhood, and only force is respected, even by the Chareidi community!
If any of you’s would see a yid walk into one of your shuls or streets eating a trief cheese n burger sandwich, wouldn’t you despise him? Honestly, I would. I wouldn’t want my kids to see how a religious person does something against the Torah. Same here, for these yidden livingin Mea Shearim, going into the IDF is totally in opposition to our Holy Torah which Hashem gave us 2000 years ago. They do not want their children and they themselves don’t want to see a supposedly religious person doing something that is part of the shulosh shvuos (avoda zura, shfichas dumim and guli aroas)… Anyone here to debate, I am open to it.. Again, may our Holy Father redeem us speedily and dismantle this treifana medina only with much Rachmim!
Hate breeds hate, it’s Lapids fault.
Perhaps if they played some sports, like baseball, basketball or soccer, they would not feel the need to entertain themselves by beating up soldiers.
