Video: Haredi Anti-Internet Gathering Participant And Protester Interviews

A video of brief interviews with participants and counter protesters at Sunday's haredi anti-Internet gathering. Eytan Kobre, the spokesperson for the haredi anti-Internet gathering, lies to the videographer and says that it was CitiField's decision not to have facilities for media. In fact, organizers tried to ban the press unless it first agreed to allow organizers to censor their reports and images, and organizers made a specific decision not to have any press facilities.

Boo hoo no press- get over it- move on...
Nothing to look at here.....
I wish I didn't click that you tube clip- I just wasted three minutes that I could have spent doing something productive....

Dear Shmarye,

The internet is indeed taking away the illegal & inhuman power of the Rabbis such as the Chiefrabbi Schiff from Antwerp Belgium, (Belze Chasid) who is some time now joining forces with Satmar, and especially in the case of his family and relative MENACHEN DEUTSCH of Borogh Park known to have been caught red handed kidnapping 3 haredi children in one afternoon jailed then in the Belz synagogue (50th stereet & 15th ave) basement toilet Assaulted and raped them in a manor that even shocked the NYPD and is beyond and human imagination, Rabbi Aron Schiff from Antwerp Belgium is the one who is Threatening and Tempering with the witnesses, and their family’s not to cooperate with Authorities ,
Since he is operating from Belgium/Europe the US Authorities probably cant do anything about it.
One of the victims is a boy, the grand son of Bobover rebbie, Reb Benzion 48st.

Yes, boo hoo, Freedom of the Press, freedom of information, all those little things Hasidim have a little problem with (Like Chabad pedophiles stories, Haredi Rabbi and circumcisions deaths, Haredim attacks on Women, the Agriprocessors fiasco,...)

Press provided public information, like light to roaches.

Wow. Strong armed or not, that's an impressive amount of people. And they all vote.

BMG is having an internet asifa today at 630 pm.

"Yeechud" is a "seyug" so that we prevent ourselves from encountering any unjust actions... Internet should be treated in the same manor. Interestingly there is a misconception about who "yeechud" was made for, people think it's a "seyug" for "baali aveirah" however that is not true, it's for good people without any intention of wrongdoing. Once we come to that realization we could start looking at ourselves and try to keep away from and harmful actions

Mr. Mandel is one hundred percent right. Molestation in the orthodox community is equally as troublesome as by the outside world, unfortunately we as a community are stating to realize the severity of the problem and are vigorously trying to get a handle on it before it's too late. Being that it's a sensitive matter, they will never adress it publicly.
Kudos to all men and women who braved it and went out to voice their pain and dissatisfaction with the communitis handling of the issue. It's the pioneers like yourselves who put yourself out there and made a statement. May God bless you all, hopefully you will be cured by this damage that has been caused by the sick selfish monsters.

Another counter measure we all can take against the charedi totalitarian regime: I think that all people that live near anyone 'frum' should keep their wifi accessible without a password - this would provide a means of internet access to all charedim who don't have access at home but might have an ipad, smartphone, etc. I think this is a great idea and I hope it catches on.

Is anybody else worried about the ginger admitting he is 'tempted'. Surely in the same way you refrain from munching treif you can control what you log onto?

twitter and facebook lead to extramarital affairs?

that isnt what i was told in the 70s when i visited borough park and my friend who was living there told me about the wife swapping going on

love the guy who says he cant control his taivahs...so he goes over to his neighbor to use the internet...which should be gone by today

and i guess it was the internet which caused that one guy to lie twice

attention frum people of the world...it is not the internet that is causing your children to go off the derech...it is your own hypocritical behavior...wake up

[Farfrumt]

"twitter and facebook lead to extramarital affairs?"

See the following post. You may not agree with the "Asifa", and I may not as well, but it sure seems like Facebook does lead to extramarital affairs. 1 in 3 divorce filings contain the word Facebook.

Facebook does not lead to extramarital affairs. It is just another vehicle for them-the conditions for affairs have always been around since we lived in caves and ate Mastadon bones. Believe me, one philandering ancestor of mine found many mistresses without such things, and this in a male-female separated culture-no internet, no phones, no nothing. This cheating thing is just a red herring. They don't want other viewpoints available, that is all.

Mimi needs a reality check. She sounds like a groupie of Twisted Sister or The Flintstones.

[Shmuel]

Its time, once again, for our great leaders to outlaw and ban the human sex drive. Lets see if that will work out better than the first. time.
Its time for all Lakewood to pack up and move on. Bochrim, learn elsewhere. Time to close BMG. People, if you're sickened by all this, stop donating there. Bring them to their knees.

[mimi]

OK Josiah, I'll fix that... People have been cheating since we were created fully formed 6000 years ago.

Mastadon died out 11,000 years ago-we hunted them to extinction-at about the same time Twisted Sister last sold an album.

And they all vote.

I personally don't have any problems refraining from treif food but I am not able to control my urges when it comes to internet use. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right now (for example).

[Jeff]

That's very dangerous, actually.

[ger]

@Gevezener Chusid I'm sure its something you can work on :)

[moke]

You idiots who speak against rabbis are so stuppppppidd!!!! When you get sick and are about to die of some disease and the doctors cant cure you you will be running on all fours begging a Rabbi for a Bracha for health. Just remember that!

[ger]

Erm no I will be praying to G-d directly. No need for a middle man thats why I left Xtianity.

An excellent example of a mind ruined by a Haredi upbringing. He really can't conceptualize a reality outside of his own. He just assumes everyone grows up running to rebbaim.
