Yassam commando police raided Batei Warsaw on Sunday, arriving at the home of Shalom Baruch Rust, a known head of the sikrikim and an activist in the ongoing control dispute over the property.
It did not take more than a few brief minutes for the word of the police presence to spread and a crowd formed and police found themselves under attack with rocks and other objects. Windows of police cars were smashed. There are unconfirmed rumors and theories as to why police arrived at his home. A confrontation occurred and eventually, police left without making any arrests.

Sounds like a jungle. Since when was it mutar attack policemen and smash car windows?!
Maybe the enlisting them in the IDF is a good thing as these clowns keep proving that they are quite capable of violence. Maybe the army is just what they need to channel their aggression.
Shameful…And I like WIY’s analysis in response.
“Maybe the army is just what they need to channel their aggression.”
Mobs are not good for armies. Although they certainly could use some regimentation and respect for authority.
Why do you people automatically assume that the policemen are tzadikkim?
Don’t you know that the BAGAT”Z (Israel’s totalitarian Supreme Court) and their police enforcers regularly abuse the citizenry–especially West Bank “settlers” and Chareidim?
#4: Who said they were tzadikim? What does it matter? You think these are the first policemen to abuse Jews? Aren’t we in golus? What right do we have to throw off the yoke of golus prematurely? I would think that the sikrikim, being totally opposed to the tzionim, would be the first to accept that we are still in golus and still bound by those concepts. The tzionim are no different than any other malchus harisha. Who says we have the right to fight back?
Yoyl, since when are we, in golus, not allowed to defend ourselves from the Cossacks?
#5 – Galus in Eretz Yisroel?! You have no hakorus hatov. Hashem redeemed us from galus and took us back to Eretz Yisroel and gave us a government that permited all Hareidim to learn and not to work at least until now.
Give thanks to Hashem and don’t be an ingrate.
