A senior police official quote anonymously by the daily Yisrael HaYom states the delinquent chareidi youths, the “trouble-makers” who are significantly responsible for NIS 1 million in damage, may be expelled from Israel. The report state Israel Police officials are aware that many of these youths are viewed as ‘high-risk’, in some cases sent to Israel is a last hope to straighten them out. The high-ranking official explains police are contemplating moving ahead with measures to send them back to their countries of origin.
Included in the growing list of damage caused during last week’s violent protests are 70 traffic signals, 230 trash receptacles and 24 garbage bins. Offices of government social workers, sidewalks and other infrastructure were damaged as well.
On Friday night, a police patrol was targeted by rocks in Bnei Brak, resulting in damage. An 18-year-old detained by police explained he threw the rocks in solidarity with the chareidi struggle in Yerushalayim.
A secular lobby group plans to turn to city legal officials, demanding the bill be given to the Eida Chareidit. Meirav Cohen of the Hitorarut organization insists “the Eida Chareidit must accept responsibility for the vandalism. It is unacceptable that the law-abiding public which suffered the inconveniences of the violence also be compelled to pick up the tab…if the city compels the Eida to pay, it will also serve as a deterrence in the future.”
In the meantime, the so-called Munchausen mom is under house arrest in the home of chareidi askan R’ Avraham Freilich, who together with Deputy Minister of Health Yaakov Litzman so to arranging the NIS 450,000 bail necessary for her release. She will also undergo a psychiatric evaluation beginning this week.

Would you stop calling her ” Munchausen mom ” already . You are just repeating everything from the secular media outlets
One has to ask oneself: “Who will protect the Jews?”
It should be remembered that most Israelis favor expelling all Hareidim from Eretz Yisrael. There is no “hiddush” involved.
Given the prestige of the people supporting the mother, and the unwillingingness of the Israeli government to be transparent (only people with secrets choose to hide them, honest people don’t have anything to high – a rule well known to competent journalists everywhere), it can probably be concluded that the woman has been falsely accused, either as part of a Shin Bet sponsored disinformation attack on the frum community, or to cover up malpractice by Israeli medical authorities, or both.
Indeed, YWN’s calling her the “munchausen mom” suggests a lack of competence or objectivity (would you have had a headline about the alleged “Ivan the Terrible” being indicted for having killed members of inferior races).
I thought akuperma’s post was quite clear. What is the problem- the semantics, the syntax, the premise?
And I’m sure those patients who have been serious victims of Israeli malpractice think it’s silly as well…
#4 Thank you for your wise and thoughtful comments. Pay no heed to #5, a known anti-jewish/anti-chareidi commenter.
