During a Peleg protest that had been taking place for several hours in Jerusalem this afternoon, a new trend was born. One entrepreneurial Peleg protester bent down and began collecting “Skunk Water” that had just been fired at the protesters by a police water cannon.
The water, which is used as a non-lethal method to disperse crowds, is created to leave a stench on those who are sprayed with it for several hours if not days. After police attempted to remove the man and his friends from the roadway by using the water cannon to blast them with the foul-smelling concoction, the man calmly bent down and filled numerous empty water bottles with the foul liquid. Numerous other protesters gathered around him and applauded his actions. According to an explanation given at the scene, the reason for the collection is that “the mixture can be resold in the U.S. for a lot of money.”
It was later revealed that last week, one of the Roshei Yeshiva from Mdi’in Illit, who is a supporter of the Peleg movement, recently visited a large Satmar Beit Medrash in Williamsburg, NY. The Rosh Yeshiva had brought with him a bottle of skunk water that had been collected in a previous protest and he presented it to the Bais Medrash.

So now, besides not sitting in the Beis Hamedrash learning in order to protest, they are doing business too. in that case why should they be exempt from army service? That privilege is reserved for earnest, sincere yeshiva Bochrim
As the saying goes, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”
And precisely which idiots want to buy it?
We might applaud the optimism here, but I still fail to see this protesting as anything beyond colossal bitul Torah.
Hopefully, any so called “rosh yeshiva” who supports anarchists who make life miserable for hundreds of thousands of yidden in EY every day, will spray a bit the “skunk water” he brought with him on the equally contemptible yidden in Willy who provide financial support to Peleg yeshivos in EY. The stench emanating from the chilul hashem caused by these Peleg protests and the costs and suffering they impose on Israelis is appalling yet this guy is somehow welcome at a Satmar yeshiva. Not a penny should go to any mosdos that support Peleg.
Can’t make this stuff up. Why don’t they find out the chemical formula and then simply produce it in the USA and save shipping charges
He brought foul smelling water into the beis medrash?
So a nine year old can get his lemonaide stand shut down for doing business witbout a license. these guys who defintely cant do business legally should be arrested on new grounds. Doing business without a license, and maybe stealing govt property
People who really want some should fly to Israel and get sprayed themselves.
That is the reason you are not learning Torah now? To collect skunk water from the street?
Dead ending loosers
What percentage reduction are these Peleg skunks going to be selling this garbage for, on Cyber Monday? & on which website?
““the mixture can be resold in the U.S. for a lot of money.”” And now they’re like the rest of the world, whether in Haiti or Russia, where all Americans are rich and stupid, and made of money. I wonder if this is all Americans who throw away money on garbage or if Jewish-Americans are included.
Maybe someone can positively identify the heilige bochur/avreich so that either his shver can see how he spends the day the shver is supporting or so that we can all make sure he never gets a shver. He is no Satmarer there on principle, he is a low life taking a few hours off to have fun.
