Member of Knesset Ayelet Shaked of the right wing Zionist Orthodox HaBayit HaYehudi party reportedly had to file a complaint with Knesset Security last night after she received what the Jerusalem Post calls an “onslaught of threatening text messages” from supporters of the Sefardi haredi Shas Party’s spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

The threats followed a meeting of HaBayit HaYehudi’s Knesset members Monday, which ended with an ultimatum to Yosef, giving him one week to publicly announce that he supports a deal made by HaBayit HaYehudi and Shas. HaBayit HaYehudi agreed to support legislation allowing the Sefardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar to be elected for a second term (right now, chief rabbis are only allowed to serve one term), and Shas agreed that ot would support Zionist Orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Ariel’s candidacy for Ashkenazi chief rabbi.

After the meeting, Shaked’s cell phone number and the following message was reportedly sent to a group of Shas activists.

"Friends, Ayelet Shaked hasn't apologized for her impertinence toward the genius Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, may he live a long life. How can we be quiet when an MK from a religious party gives an ultimatum to the greatest rabbi of our generation? We must all send her text messages until she apologizes,” the message read.

Shaked reportedly received dozens of threatening messages.

"Apologize to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, may he live a long life, as soon as possible, or you'll die. What have you done?,” one read. Another told her that she would “burn slowly in hell,” and a third warned that he "days are numbered.”

"Who are you to make an ultimatum to the greatest rabbi of our generation? You're lower than garbage," a fourth message read.

Knesset security is reportedly investigating.

Correction:
Big mistake. These are not death threats.
These are warnings of Divine retribution!
Nobody is saying they would kill her.

[Voice of truth]

First no where in the message does it say they'll kill her second seriously? This is what your posting as facts? You have zero evidence backing this story up and your pic is juvenile any 7 year old can do that it doesn't show a thing other then the time and message no service provider as do all phones and no battery indicater as do all phones no name or number as a text would usually show on a phone or any thing else for that matter it's as fake as the story itself

[Rebitzman]

Google (you may eed to get to an unfiltered computer) "Shas supporters threaten MK Shaked's life".......

No less than 2 dozen news outlets are reporting this.

That's a bit more than "zero evidence"

[Sarek]

Don't the threateners realize that it shows who sent the texts? Or does God hide the sending number when He is invoked?

Really? Each sect says the same thing about their rabbi. Can they all be right?

It's unprofessional and childish to give out another person's mobile number and ask some equally childish presumably men to harass Ayelet Shaked. Equally Shaked can't force Rav Yosef into a political deal.

Haraidi, and I suppose that when your cult leaders call people "Amalek" they are expecting the Israelite hordes to descend and do the killing. We believe you when you tell us that.

You're not very bright, are you?

as usual you expose your utter lack of honesty and warped sense of morality. there is nothing "equal" here. shaked and her party can offer whatever deal they like to yosef and he is free to accept or reject it.
but yosef and his thuggish followers , led by many criminals amongst them, are not free to harrass, intimidate or threaten a political opponent.
you are just another example of how being frum tends to deprive ones brain of the ability to think. eventually the part which controls morality and ethics atrophies.

Guys, most of you have had more direct contact with Haredim than I've had. Are they really all this stupid?

[anuran]

David, they commit terrorism using weapons of mass destruction (arson). They commonly carry out mob attacks using deadly weapons against innocent people. The only saving grace is that they're so far pathetically incompetent at deadly violence.

"As usual you expose your utter lack of honesty and warped sense of morality!" Ah pee chorus - hello this is an internet forum, you don't even know me! So how you can insult me? This is just some people adding their opinion! Although, I notice these articles attract a few physchos.

What's a physcho? Isn't that an Olivia Newton-John song? ("Let's get physcho").

Of course. When questioning the wife of a fairly prominent Chabad Rabbi several years ago re MMS being "MOSHIACH" i.e. Messiah, she retorted: exact quote "ALL CHASSIDIM are SUPPOSED to believe that their Rebbe is the Moshiach".
To which I responded, that evidently, all past generations have been dead wrong. She always hated me anyway, and that did not help, LOL.

Furthermore, a friend at the time, who was a 770 trained, ex Lubavitch but still with family ties to the sect, maintained that she was totally incorrect in her assertion.

Inbreeding leads to insanity. Long Rabbinic lines leads to overlooking sex abuse in one's extended family. 13 (but isn't it forbidden to count?) kids and the mother, all abused, and no one knew?? These are large families. both the extended family victims and the venerable family from whence the quote came.

Obviously, the answer is no. It brings to mind a different, yet related, question: 'Can they all be wrong?'

[Yehuda]

People think the "Divine retribution is on their side, it's natural but mostly to the uneducated people.

The Divine only cares about Scientist and Rich people, doesn't stick up for Ovadiya Yufuf who himself said things based on bad evidence,

I will ask the divine to kill me just in case he is active these days....
