Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger last Thursday visited the West Bank settlement of Kochav Hashachar, east of Ramallah, in order to hand out award to outstanding students.
The rabbi was travelling with his personal driver and without a security guard as required by procedures.
As they were leaving Jerusalem, Metzger and his driver accidentally entered the Shuafat refugee camp, apparently due to the fact that the GPS device fails to distinguish between Israel and the Palestinian Authority territories.
The rabbi’s driver said they had passed the Qalandiya checkpoint and reached the southern part of Ramallah.
During the drive, the two saw an object hurled at the car and heard a bang. They panicked, and only then realized that they had taken the wrong road and turned back.
Rabbi Metzger chose not to inform the Israel Defense Forces or the Shin Bet’s VIP security unit, and an investigation was not launched into the incident.
Last week, Metzger escaped from another event after being chased by dozens of Neutrei Karta members at a Seforim store in Mea Shearim.
The men protested his visit to the store, encircled him and shouted, “Sheigetz”, and “get out of here, you wicked man.”
Even after the rabbi escaped into his car with the help of police officers dispatched to the areas, they continued slamming on the door and booing him.

The idea that you can compare the Arabs that were trying to murder him and the Jews who screamed and banged on his car is repulsive!
What makes you write that the Jews were from Eidah Hachareidis? Any such acts have nothing to do with the Eidah as the Eidah as the Eidah condems violence. Nowhere in the article did you site proof that they acted as Eidah memmbers, and even if they said they did it’s just an excuse to promote their agenda. Kind of like using the Eidah Hachareidis as a garbage dump to dump their garbage into!
Sorry about comment above, somehow I mistook Neturei Karta for Eidah Hachareidid although much of the comment still stands!
The man must be doing something right!
is it mutar to kill the niturei karta? are they b’geder rotzchim?
#1 – I find the fact that so called frum jews attack a chashova Rav like Rav Metzger repulsive.
There is absolutely no excuse for sucj behaviour. Maybe the writer was eluding to the fact that these people have stooped to the level of the Arabs lehavdil by resorting to unprovoked violence.
Did they ever actually murder anyone? Please don’t get carried away.
There is no difference between these Arabs and these Jews. Lock them up together in the same jail.
A bunch of sick people ranting and raving! How in the world can you compare the Arab terrorists that blow themselves up in crowds killing men, women and children to the people who screamed and banged on the car of a ruv?!? If some politition compares someone to a Nazi or the like, you shriek and holler, but you yourself compare fellow Jews to Arab terrorists! Whenever anyone argues you scream for shalom a
Nd how mossiach can’t come with fights, but you are willing to marginate a group of Jews and not only that, but you call them terrorists! The hipocracy is trully amazing and shocking! FOR SHAME!!!!
The Neturai Karta are disgusting and at the momment have fallen to the low level of being baby versions of arab terrorism. who knows if they will fall even lower and join ranks with the palestinian terrorists.
