If they are so scared of hareidim – why do they want them serving with them in army units?
The answer, of course, is once they are in the army units, they will no longer be hareidim (the solution to the “Hareidi problem” – which admittedly is more humane than a certain western’s country’s solution to the “Jewish problem”).
52% of secular fear walking through charedi area is not enough. We need all who walk through the Israeli streets with little respect of the Law of the Land, the Torah Law, to have that fear. As long as they have no fear of Hashem, let them at least fear charedim. Once they’ll learn respect and to dress modestly, they won’t need to fear charedim.
This is once again part of the anti charedi propaganda to bash and mislead the public!
Also- They walk into our neighborhood without BASIC respect and wonder why people sometimes scream at them (not saying it’s right to scream)
On purpose they instigate to send women not dressed modestly and sit next to men.
GET A LIFE ALREADY!!
Arye and kuperman, 2 racist idiots that truly deserve each other.
פחדו בציון חטאים
whatsapp: The hilonim are the racist idiots. Racists typically look at the people they hate and see them as vicious beasts. Consider how many Americans regard African Americans and Hispanics – that is how hilonim regard hareidim. Given the zionists well deserved reputation for bullying minorities (particularly the Arabs). There is no explanation of the hilonim’s fear and hatred of the hareidim other than bigotry and racism (using the word in the non-Amreican sense, which define race to include culture and ethnicity, not merely how deep a tan you).
#4 I’d proud of being a racist than having to see women walking the streets like they’re at the beach. I don’t know about you, but I’m Jewish and follow the Torah. Do you think it’s easy walking the streets and follow the halachah of guarding your eyes with selfish immodest intolerant women who think they can do whatever they want?
By the way, according to you, Hashem is also a racist and even a bigger one than I am because he hates immorality more than anything else. Go look it up and you’ll see for yourself.
One more question, where in the Torah is it against halachah being a racist?
To Aryeh and a kuperman
You have such lack of Ahavat Yisrael it is disgusting. There is a real reason that so many non frum fear charedim. It’s because of people like you who are filled with hate.
Re comment no. 7: I am pretty sure that I can think of one person who agrees with you that the Jewish religion permits racism. He calls himself Minister Louis Farrakhan.
The gemara explaining this passuk says they are afraid when they see our teffilin.
If you recall the recent Chareidi polling, done by Mishpacha Magazine, using a Chareidi polling company, found that Chilonim respect Chareidi people and would hire them. The poll showed they have a problem with Chareidi leadership.
As a Frum person, I have a problem with how Chareidi political leadership handles things as well. People who don’t know how to lead, generally lead through the negative and cause much more problems then they solve. I see that with many political leaders in the Chareidi communities. They behave like bulls in a china shops and then get incensed when people respond. It’s a self fulfilling prophesy. It’s not just what you say and do, it’s HOW you say and do it.
