A group of leftist anarchists arrived in a residential area of Modiin on Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m. and made a huge racket outside the home of Justice Minister Yariv Levin, blaring horns, megaphones and drums, burning tires in the middle of the street, and blocking the entrance to the parking lot of the building with barbed wire.
Despite pleas from Levin and his neighbors, the police took an hour and a half to show up. The protesters refused police orders and even surrounded the police car and started confrontations with the officers. In response, the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested six protesters for violating public order. Even after the arrests, the protesters stormed the police car, blocking it from leaving the street with the detained protesters.
The protest was a well-organized and well-funded violation of public order, with buses arriving at the area from all over the country and a prepared breakfast for the participants.
Right-wing activist Berale Crombie wrote: “The anarchists learned from the Palestinians in Kfar Beta to burn tires next to houses and damage them with the smoke. And here it’s only meters away from the houses! Where are all the environmentalists and defenders of ecology?! Hypocrites.”
Chareidi journalist Aryeh Ehrlich wrote: “The camp that displayed self-righteousness over the Chareidim for using disposables demonstrates authentic and deep concern for climate and air pollution.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated: “Freedom to protest yes, violence and anarchism no. It is important that the police acted to arrest the anarchists but there is no doubt that if it would have been right-wing riots, they would have arrested dozens and the Attorney-General would have made sure to request that they be detained until the end of the proceedings. Unfortunately, a handful of rioters are paralyzing Israel with the backing of Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara.”

Whoa. Talk about a Tekiah Gedolah.
behave like Goyem
Wow – protesting at 5:30 am!
This proves that they have the middah of mesirus nefesh within them. All they need to do now is channel it in the service of their Creator. Let’s daven for them that Hashem will open their eyes…
Disclaimer: No peyos or beards were pulled/torn out during these protests.
The so-called Zionist Dream seems to be imploding.
Is this the beginning of the end?
I guess they can use the same line the Charedim use when Charedim burn trashcans, impede traffic, injure innocent bystanders. “They are only the radical hundred. But you can’t judge an entire segment of the population for the stupidity of the few crazies”.
I hope our attorney general is better than what went on in United Sodom & Amorah with BLM and Antifa violent thugs and these violent anarchists are jailed.
Wondering who is paying for all the Israeli flags, bus rides and payment. I wish there was a facial recognition video with the anarchist ID for publication.
Then the real citizens would visit and terrorize them while they are sleeping and eating pork on Yom Kipur.
@Reiven; you wonder who is paying? Of course the “New Israel fund” funded by US and European taxpayers…
The tear gas should have been applied non-stop until all these wicked imbeciles succumbed to the gas.
Anarchists don’t wave those polyester flags.
Funded charter buses, disorder, etc. Doesn’t seem to matter if we’re talking about Wisconsin, London, or Israel, the players and the handbook is exactly the same. And these right-wing activists with tunnel vision fail to see the connection that’s been happening for years of where this really comes from.
According to the article, there was a prepared breakfast provided for the protesters. Only Jews would serve a meal at a protest. I hope it catches on with the goyim.
