Haredi Mob Attacks Elderly Arab
Shmarya Rosenberg • FailedMessiah.com
A haredi mob attacked an elderly Arab in Jerusalem Saturday night following a violent haredi demonstration against Sabbath desecration. The mob also attacked an Arab mother and her two children, Ynet reported this morning.
The attacks took place near the haredi neighborhood of Mea Shearim.
"The haredim used to just yell 'Shabbos,' but the situation is gradually escalating, and now they throw stones at passing cars and set up roadblocks. We call the police, and when a squad car arrives they [the haredim] run away. When the squad car leaves, they return. It's a kind of game,” an eyewitness who lives near the scene of the attacks told Ynet.
Saturday night, several dozen haredim – mostly teens and pre-teens, according to Ynet’s eyewitness – stayed at the intersection of Nevi'im and Dvora streets after the demonstration there ended "in search of a victim.” The mob “surrounded an elderly Arab man, shoved him and threw stuff at him. It could have ended in a lynching. I immediately intervened and tried to help him. They [the members of the haredi mob] shoved me, threw garbage at me and called me a 'stinking leftist.’” After that, the haredi mob attacked an Arab woman and her two children with belts while yelling "death to Arabs." "It was frightening, sad and disgraceful," the eyewitness said.
Border Patrol officers called to the scene dispersed the mob without making any arrests.
Doesn't sound like regular Meah Shearim types to me - more like plain juvenile delinquency under the guise of protesting.

This is what happens when no effective action is taken against these anti-Jews.
Do they really think they are setting an example such that other Jews would want to be shomer Shabbos?
And why is it that they are always picking on the elderly and women and children?

Ever look at them? They are pale, sickly looking, no muscle tone. They spend all day inside reading. they only venture out to throw feces and rocks at women and old people. They couldn't fight a man to save their lives.

They are extremist Israeli Chabadniks living currently in NY.Their main occupation is beating up anyone they think is lower than them i.e. the rest of humanity.

A New York version (in tactics) of the Sikrikim haredim (the Sicarii).

Sickening. If the demonstration is about Shabbat, why pick on Arabs, who are not enjoined to observe the Sabbath?

Seymour: The IDF prohibits beatings like this, and often prosecutes soldiers who participate in this kind of behavior. In truth, they sometimes look the other way if it's a terror suspect or a violent demonstrator (and that's wrong). But the IDF does have a code of ethics about "purity of arms" and has prosecuted soldiers who violate it in the past. Besides, as David points out, these schmucks hate Israel as much as Mohamed does.

now i'm confused. the anti-zionists are always saying they dont want israel to be a jewish-run country and want it run by arabs. yet now they hate arabs too? who exactly do they find suitable to provide them food, shelter, schooling,healthcare, defense, transportation and sanitation?
do they want the british back? the ottomans? the greeks? romans?

Re: my post from yesterday. Take a look at the picture. How many fat Haredi do you see? Maybe the ones in Brooklyn eat more.
Soon these hooligans will be forcing Arabs to clean the streets with toothbrushes, just like the Austrians forced the Jews to do in Vienna in 1938. Kristallnacht came eight months later. Disgraceful.

Elite Horace Mann prep school students tell of decades of sexual abuse
Teachers and coaches at Bronx Horace Mann school abused teens, according to a New York Times report
By Helen Kennedy / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Sexual abuse was covered up for decades at a swanky Riverdale prep school where the children of the city’s monyed elite are educated, according to a bombshell report.
The New York Times Magazine story, to be published Sunday, outlines multiple incidents of molestation by at least three teachers and coaches at the Horace Mann School between 1978 and 1994 and describes the school’s discreet response, which did not involve telling cops or parents.
One student, who was abused for years, eventually killed himself. So did one of the teachers quietly forced to resign after complaints from the boys.

Arrests must be made! Send in undercover cops dresses as haredim as needed. Long jail sentences are a must.

It's a gentile prep school. Isn't one of your primary teachings of your rebbaim that gentiles - even those of high birth - are no better than animals? Why, then, is this unexpected?
More importantly - why is it that all you people ever do when accused of these goings-on is to deny, deny, deny - until you get caught red-handed, then your best excuse is "The goyim do it! We're no worse than they are!"?
Once again - flawless reasoning from the Talmudically-trained mind. I'm in freakin' awe.

Simple-dress the cops in Haredi regalia, make sure they don't wash for several weeks and hide them in plain sight. When this kind of behavior erupts let them shoot with rubber bullets and use water cannons on the cowardly little pricks.

@Jeff your right it's not a straight out JEWISH school however many of their big supporters/alumni are Jewish.

Posted by: Jeff | June 07, 2012 at 06:32 PM
Although thier zeal for Hashem is to be lauded, thier tactics of compliance are not. The more i read about Charedim, i'm sorry to state this, the more i see comparisons to the kkk in this country. The overwhelming amount of attacks and intimidation of haredim are cowardly like the kkk; attacking elderly, children. women, those of other faiths who are non violent and wont retaliate. Little wonder that many Israeli seculars are demanding that your military exemptions be ended. Too much time on your hands like wayward teenagers. You're much more compelling when you're dancing and singing in the streets and at weddings.

They attacked an Arab woman with a belt? You mean they [gasp] looked at a woman?
At least they didn't [shudder] touch her with their bare, you should excuse the expression, hands.
I wonder if this arouses them.

David why don't you and these neurotic maniacs go back to fucking Lithuania and get the hell out of Palestine you schmuck. And Zionist Goy you're a wannabee, get off the tzitzit. You're a joke and youll always be viewed as curiosity, there is nothing you can say or to do make you Kosher in their eyes.

Wait just a cotton picking moment did you just say "peace loving Israelis"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!This country in its brief sad existence has waged more aggressive war against its neighbors et al than most Empires of Grande Antiquity. Israel is an army with a state, not the other way around.
