The zealots do not rest, as in addition to blocking streets and burning trash, this time around, they have painted graffiti in Meah Shearim against Jerusalem Deputy Mayor (Shlomei Emunim) Yossi Deutsch, who may be the chareidi candidate in the upcoming mayoral elections. It has already been reported that Gur and Belz will be backing him.

The graffiti is in black pain, large letters, calling “to place Yossi Deutsch in cherem”, Deutsch is destroying Yerushalayim” and “Yossi Deutsch – get out tamei!”

This is not the first time Deutsch was targeted by extremists, and in addition to graffiti, he was targeted in physical assaults more than once.

Deutsch does not plan to file a police complaint, preferring in this case to ignore the graffiti.
