Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says about a dozen ultra-Orthodox men in the town of Beit Shemesh surrounded the woman on Tuesday, pelted her with stones and slashed her car’s tires. He says the woman suffered minor injuries.
Rosenfeld says it’s not clear why she was targeted. The woman was putting up posters for Israel’s national lottery at the time.
Beit Shemesh has experienced sharp tensions between ultra-Orthodox extremists and its remaining secular and modern Orthodox Jewish residents. The recent case of an 8-year-old girl who was afraid to walk to school because extremists spat on her and cursed her attracted international attention.
Was her hair uncovered?
Did she flash an elbow?
Was she talking on a non-kosher cell phone?
Did she sing?
Those are teh really important questions. If she was doing any of those she was provoking them.
So sad.
I sure hope there was no Negea, nor that they looked at even the little finger of the woman, because that would against Halacha. As for Chilul Hashem, stealing, nezek, tzar, ripuy sheves boshes, they must rely on some Gavaad’s heter burried deep a a sefer the rest of klall yisroel has no access to.
theese stone throwers are becoming inhuman have no feeling for anyone but their own hate.they are pure hate to do this kind of insanity
Suspicion of attacking?? Probebly like the 6 people last week included the gabba of the gav”d where they judge scream on the police for arresting innocent people like the worst murders, isreal goverment: let our jewish brothers alone let them live ther life how they want
anti-chareidi zionist chiloni secular goyish incitement. Besides she was over 8 so what do you want from them now? They just want to live al pi taharas hakoidesh and she was being a meisis umadiach.
What wasn’t mentioned is that she provocatively entered the sikrik shul to hang up the notes.
Still, the extremists should be locked up forever.
We’ll also get to the media comparing all charedim to them. They are a tiny minority. When was the last time we heard of violence outside that neighborhood and meah shearim? I know, in secular neighborhoods in the daily murders and rapes.
What a shame she wasn’t armed. That was the time to shoot to kill. A rodef is a rodef. I don’t care what he dresses like. A violent dog should be put down in the street. Period.
This is for ALTERG and all those like him. It seems that to you and your kind, all these stories are fairy tales. You say “let our jewish brothers alone let them live ther life how they want”, well that works both ways. Leave us alone too. Let us walk on the sidewalks the way we want, let us sit on buses where we want, and let us take whatever elevators we want. It’s time for ignoramuses like you and yours to take ur empty heads out of your tuchesses.
When the secular media will stop with their hate campaign then we can start thinking about using force against these people. As of now this is merely a media campaign by the freie to bring down the charedim. Disgusting.
Can someone explain why no woman enters an Arab neighborbood to provoke them -and why are the police
so efficient when it comes to catching Charedim but not neccessarily Arab terrorists? Even if it is true that the these Charedim misbehaved – which isnt always true at all, what happened to the Democratic idea of being equal before the law. And what happened to the Zionist idea of Lehiyot Am Chofeshie Barzteenu.
I have no problem moving to the back of the Bus
if it looks that is the kind of bus I am on.
Modern Orthodox ChelmiTe
I have enough self respect to give respect to others
who have wear hats then I do.
These people ARE NOT JEWISH.
To # 16, the children going to school in Beit Shemesh weren’t in someone else’s neighborhood. And the reaction to something disliked by this ultra group is far from okay. It was reported in this website that when the 6 people were arrested for fraud, the Eida said they will “burn down Yerushalayim”. EVEN TZIPI LIVNI wouldn’t say that! Has everyone lost their minds?
Why do some posters insist on comparing chareidim to arabs ? “The police wouldn’t dare arrest arabs.” “No woman would dare go by herself to an arab neighborhood to hang signs.” I EXPECT MORE from the chareidim/sikrikim ! They learned the same torah I learned (right ?). They are an integrated part of the ramat bet neighborhood, supported by the rabbonim in bet.
What have the police done about the slash tyres on the Rabbis’ car in Rechovot
If a man came in ur neigbhorhud and made the kinderlach eat treifos? U would throw him out! U would scream and yell and even throw stuff at him until he leaves.
It’s pashut that all women are the same as that man. Every woman is a yetzer hara on legs, because she forces men to do avairos (because, of course, men cannot control themselves). So it’s pashut that every woman must be thrown out from any place where a man might see her!
If anyone disagees with this, they are koifer beToras Moshe Rabbeinee and they are not Jews.
“Rosenfeld says it’s not clear why she was targeted. The woman was putting up posters for Israel’s national lottery at the time.”
The key words in the story, as reported above, are: “woman” and “putting up posters”.
Her attackers did not stop to consider *what* sort of posters she was affixing. Not every piece of public wallpaper in Israel is necessarily a pashkevil.
And of course we cannot forget the erotic effects just being a woman has on the stunted and perverted sex-drives of the charedi male in Beit Shemesh, can we?
arrest them all in a forced labor camp….what a chilul hahsem a disgrace to all jews…
Finally after a few day of calm, the Tzioni media finally found a “story” to start the incitement against the chareidim going again….
We have an accusation without a shred of evidence, and we already have some posters calling to shoot & kill the chareidim!! How VIN would allow such a criminal venomous hatful comment to be published is beyond me!
Please remember the accusation against Mr. Zev Frank from Jerusalem 2 weeks ago, that he spit upon & cursed a lady, and then violently fought with the police who were arresting him.
Well, we all saw the video that proved 100% without any doubt that the police were lying and filed false reports , come on all you chareidim haters wait till those charges are proven before you start spewing your vitriolic hatred
I cannot believe charedim did this, it was probably secularists dressed in haredi garb trying to stir up animosity
VIN has now posted a picture of the victim. If you look very closely and you use a bit of imagnation, you can just about detect the beginning of her collar bone.
Yes, she was definitely asking for it.
A good stoning will teach her a lesson.
[sarcasm]
as a orthodox woman from boro park….i know i would be spit on cuz my sheitel is too long & i have cable….& yada yada….no i do not dress provocatively at all- i can assure u. but since i do look put 2gether, i may be classified as “modern” by men who cant seem 2 control their eyes & women who r jealous…(hint: don’t leave ur house in a snood….it takes a second 2 put on ur sheitel…)
anyway,im actually gonna play devils advocate here….do u knw tht if u were 2 go 2 Dubai or arab emirites….they give u,ur company & all employees a handbook of how u hav 2 dress in their country & certain neighborhoods. i know this since my friends husband was supposed 2 go w/ his company & he recieved the handbook– which was interesting & terrifying-he did not go-(prob. a good idea since he is a jew)also,i hav seen kim kardashian speak abt this whn she went 2 dubai…(on tv..omg!! im a rasha…menuval..) & on the “real housewives of ny” whn they wnt last season….violence is wrong..but why do chilonim have 2 enter these neighborhoods? 4 all of u who think im wasting my time watching tv…geuss what it keeps me off the phone & away from loshon hara & i still get to daven maariv…
These people are repelling Mashiach.
Besides the real Mashiach, the lady’s name is Mashiach.
#2 ,
If I go to Eretz Yisrael and they see me with an iPhone, will they really take it???
I dont know who is right,but thing is for sure that the secular ppl are fight lovers and they make sure to find it,for instance this poor,innocent,pathetic, looking women wanted the action anshe is happy she got it,why did she fo into “that”shul?????
But one thing is dor sure that this is nor the way,you dont throw stones e.t.c or harass ppl.
Since they covered their eyes they had to trow thousands of stones so at least a few would reach the woman. Thats the logic of the sikriks
I’m very much sick and tired of the provocation canard.That only insults the subjects of such sentiments with a bigotry of low expectations. Are these people monkeys? You know like saying, “the monkeys in the zoo went ape because a bunch of kids were provoking them with water guns”.
Not only are these so-called victims of provocation supposed to be human adults with the ability to reason, but they claim to be guided by God’s word which should, theoretically, put them on an even higher plain.
