This motzei shabbos violent Hafganos were held in Yerushalayim to protest the arrest of Rabbi Lazar Rothstein at Kever Rashbi last week, as was reported by YWN-Israel.
Rabbi Rothstein was sent to Meron as a shaliach of Gavaad Eida Chareidis R’ Yitzchak Tuvia Weiss Shlita to oversee ongoing renovations at the holy site. As bones were uncovered, R’ Rothstein stated they were from human beings but those involved in the work insisted the bones were animal bones, continuing with their work. R’ Rothstein tried to prevent the continuation of work, leading to his arrest.
Police on motzei shabbos arrested two chareidim suspected of torching garbage dumpsters during the violent protest on Shivtei Yisrael Street in the capital.

Violence doesn’t solve anything.
These anti Torah leftists do this only to Jewish holy sites.
They would never dare do it to Christian or Muslim holy places.
you know, I was thinking.
I am personally very anti these protests.
But…. What if those bones were from Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochi? Can imagine such a horror? I think I would also become violent if it were true.
Just a thought…..

So if G-d forbid, someone were to attack you or someone in your family and you had no third option (you have no power or strength to just hold the attacker, nor is anyone else around to help you either actively fight or allow the attackers violence to continue) you would stand there and let them because to fight back would be getting violent and since you say violence never solves anything, it must mean you’d just stand there?
Now if you mean violence in this case only (which you did not specify) #1 Standing there and allowing the nazilib anti Torah government to continue is not an option.
#2 If Arabs were, to violently protest something like this (which the Israeli government would never do to them in the first place), any that were arrested would be out of jail like it was a revolving door with the governments apologies for “bothering the nice peaceful Arabs”.
There are plenty of times when violence does not solve anything.
But clearly there are certain times, when it does.
#4,
I dont care what you say, or if you make sense.
I will call you wrong because you throw around the word “Nazi”.
That term is reserved for the germans that gassed and cremated a large part of my family.
Hereorthere:
Their violence got them arrested. Scratching my head here figuring out what THAT solves?
#5 What is the difference between those who killed your family and those want all the rest of Jewery, wiped out?
#6 It’s in the news and many more people know about their double standards now.
Scratching my head to try and figure out how that does not help, in any way.

What you do not seem to realize is the Eida lives for the publicity a protest generates.
I have seen nothing to indicate that their shliach had any training in anthropology or any other discipline that qualifies him to determine if the bones in question are, in fact, human or animal.
Until such time as his qualifications are made publlic, he is just another person who is interfering illegally with this project.
OK #8 What if even without those qualifications he turns out to be right.
How many degrees must a person have to tell the difference between animal bones and human bones?
Just because secular universities do not have many Cheredi graduates does not prove they never know what they are talking about, that is just propaganda as are claims that opposing desecration of such places is “living for publicity of protests”.
Make them pay for the dumpsters. Why should the other citizens of Yerushalayim pay for their stupidity?
Have these holy hooligans nothing better to do?
