the driver is a yeshiva Bocher from Willi who thinks he owns the streets of Jerusalem
Isn’t Beit Tuvei HaIr located on Bar Ilan not in Geula?
Was not a Bucher, was grown up man. That thinks he own the world….
A famous thief from willi town. …..
Was the young person hurt also an American?
It’s an alter bochor (upper 40s) from five towns.
Beit tuvei hair has an entrance from geula – the back of it is on bar ilan.
There is a universal (with some exceptions) mentality from people visiting from chutz learetz. They don’t live here and find it very exciting to be amongst so many types of yidden. They get this feeling of freedom to do anything. They behave worse than they would in florida. Spitting papitas on the floor. Talking loud in english. Believeing and making it known that israelis only need their money (which they don’t have). They drive like animals, knowing they wont be caught. Parking on sidewalks and in many ways worse than the reagular israeli driving. And they still pride themselves with the untrue notion that the driving in israel is worse than brooklyn. Really?? I am so not shocked by this story. Parents in america with weak learning boys/average boys today have the best solution; send them for lag beomer or succos and drop them of there like bird leaves his droppings upon landing. These boys walk around defeating every purpose and bit of their potential. If they don’t learn, don’t help him waste his life away. Guide him to achieve skills and mentchlichkeit for life. Even if it means paying for courses in america and on the side a mentor. What is anyone gaining from this? What these empty boys don’t realize is that israelis really don’t care about america. Especially in the last few years. America haslost its shine. They never fell for the shine but atleast if there was something to it, it’s gone now. And this sort of behavior is certainly one that doesn’t entice anyone.
It can happens that a person has an accident and can even happen that they get scared and react inappropriately – ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN – I guess the writers here have never been in an accident. Its really just a hate forum again the American yidden in Israel… really that’s all. DRIVE CAREFULLY PEOPLE – on and off the roads.

GEULA, this comment is so funny.
It is exactly what us Americans think when we watch the Israeli tight pants, smoking, garinin spitters, cell phone salesman….walking the street, not learning and wasting his life away. How about guiding him to achieve skills and parnasa or even join Tzahal? At least our boys when they return to USA after the Israel ‘experience’, go to school, learn a half day, marry and are an essential part of the community!!!
