According to a brief report in the Jerusalem Post, an angry crowd of screaming haredim in Beit Shemesh surrounded a car carrying municipal inspectors and prevented them from continuing their work.

The inspectors were checking to make sure that businesses were closed as the law requires on Yom HaZikaron, Israel's Memorial Day honoring soldiers who died defending the country.

Police were called and dispersed the crowd.

There were no reported injuries or arrests, and no reported property damage.

They don't respect anything.

They are total pigs and parasites.

Not only is that completely off-topic but it is incredibly un-funny. The spelling in the "interview" is so bad it looks like a sixth grader wrote it, and the rhetoric is vapid.

You found that "interesting"?

Where are the inspecters to monitor stores open on Shabbos. Here in America stores remain open on memorial day and run their mega sales. If you want to respect fallen soldiers open a yeshiva in their name.

I think we should ignore the Haredim, unless they indulge in illegal activities.

Yom Hazikaron is such a meaningful and important holiday...thank you to the all the soldiers, alive and deceased, and their families, who have sacrificed so much for the State of Israel. It is not being in the black hat Yeshivas in the U.S., the haredim here are just as disgusting as those in Israel.

Yaakov you read every link that someone posts? You are so pathetic. Get a life.

[Max]

Oh, and I just read that link from lukeford. It is actually VERY funny. And so true.

People in Lakewood knew about all here escapades with other men (while married) years ago. In fact, one of her children once told a classmate "My mommy has a new business at night, and the tottys come at night to our house after we go to sleep."

So before you jump on me for attacking this innocent "Lakewood hottie", ask any of your contacts in Lakewood and you will know the truth.

This: "Yaakov you read every link that someone posts? You are so pathetic. Get a life. "

Followed by this: Oh, and I just read that link from lukeford.

Can you say hypocrisy?!

[Eli, what me messiah?]

I think this story ties to the one about the zoo being reserved only for the haredi.
It all ties together now.
Big zoo.

I live in Israel...first of all as of the time I am writing this(4-25-12) it is now Yom Hazikaron and this article is written on 4-24-12? Memorial day began last night at 8pm Israel time...so it appears that the Jlem post is looking at a different calendar. Also, there is no law that requires businesses to close. Stores where I live are open and just a few minutes ago, a tanker truck loaded with gas refilled an underground tank just outside my home. I do not where they got their info...but it seems it is just plain old dis-information.

Also, there is no law that requires businesses to close.

Winston Smith is slyly distorting the issue.

Businesses may not close on Yom Hazikaron - but all cafés, restaurants, bars and places of entertainment do in accordance with
.חוק יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה, תשי"ט

[Yid]

This sounds extremely stupid. Everyone knows that the law is businesses have to be closed only on the night of yom haatzmaut, and know such law exists on yom hazikaron. The J-post maybe meant that they were checking to see if people stood stiff for a minute when the siren went off which is the law.

But "David" above couldn't care less as long as he could call people pigs, he feels good.

If "everyone knows" it, then why did Haredim surround the inspectors and scream at them? Why is it all they ever seem to do?

But "David" above couldn't care less as long as he could call people pigs, he feels good.

Whether or not this was reported accurately, he's still right. They respect nothing.

Please.

The JPost news brief was posted at 10:29 pm on the 24th Israel time – meaning that it had been Yom HaZikaron for about four hours already.

The problem here, the confusion here, is yours – not the post.
