Like every Motzei Shabbos in recent months, another left-wing protest against the Netanyahu government took place on Motzei Shabbos in Tel Aviv.
At the protest, the organizers announced another protest on Thursday – this time, against Chareidim and their plans for a new Chareidi draft law.
The protest will be called “National Equality Day – because there is no democracy without equality.”
The organizers stated: “The days when one side serves the state and also finances the yeshivos while trying to establish a halachic dictatorship here – are over.”
“On National Equality Day we will embark on dozens of protest actions throughout the country, with protests from the Goma intersection [in northern Israel] to Eilat. On this day, we will officially inform the Chareidi leadership – it’s over.”
Kikar H’Shabbat reporter Yishai Cohen responded to the report by stating: “From the first moment, it was clear that the leaders of the protest again the judicial reform would turn it into a war against Chareidim…It didn’t work for them with the protest in Bnei Brak. Now they’re switching to [a protest] against the draft law.”
“Don’t worry. Even if the judicial reform doesn’t pass and the draft law gets shelved, they’ll find another reason to protest.”

Yishai Cohen is right.
Arabs don’t serve in the IDF in even less numbers than charedim and take a larger share of welfare, have much higher numbers of couples in which neither work. They should take the protest to Nazareth or Uhm al Fahm
I WANT TO SEE A SIGN LIKE THAT IN UM EL FACHUM AND OTHER ARAB TOWNS!
they were always protesting the increased Jewish character of Eretz Yisroel, not judicial reform
in other words, they hate the torah
They just want Israel to go back to being what it originally was invented for
May Hashem have a huge VOICE….without Torah
Anti Chareidi, as a jew who follows Torah all I can say is I hope this enemy of our faith disappears….is removed from the face of the earth as is or is willing to accept who truly leads…..bless all those who follow Torah
