I wanted to say that this article upset me very much. The point of the Times of Israel article was to articulate what happened and the events that occurred between the boys and the police. I don’t think the staff of Times of Israel meant anything against anyone chareidi or any such thing and they wanted to say what many people in Israel are currently thinking- how possibly the state of events could be different if the police had acted differently. No one is blaming or pointing fingers and it has nothing to do with the type of people who are in the police force or in the pictures, as the article pointed out that the pictures were random and had nothing to do with the actual people who were there that night.

Quit making mountains out of molehills. It’s called an illustrative photo. If it would have been a secular photo, then should the seculars get upset? Stop acting like 5 year olds.

did it ever occur to anyone that bashing a Jewish newspaper for bashing a Jew ….. is still bashing a Jew? you are guilty of the same thing with every negative comment you write, so you dont have much of an argument. our enemies seem to know that any Jew will do, only we care about gradations of “Jew,” how about we just go with “we are all stressed out that our children are missing. let’s all just give each other a break and focus on finding the kids right now?” give the paper a break, give the dispatcher a break, give the authors of the negative comments a break – lets just be nice to each other, we need to be one klal. we need rachamei shamayim now. everyone settle down.

Gain Chizuk: The ness of the Geuloh (and in The World to Come)will be that the nation so disgraced, persecuted and ridiculed- they ARE the Am Seguloh. The more one is ridiculed- will be more the nes; this is very applicable to the charedim- the most scoffed at, persecuted sector in the World!

I know that what was done was wrong, but we must remember not to lose ourselves and stoop to such a level by posting spiteful comments. In that zechus, the boys should return home.

Have they ever stopped to think that their sinat chinam may have actually caused the kidnapping? This is a time to be b’achdut. By the way, chareidim all over the world have been davening for the boys’ return and the safety of the soldiers looking for them. Can the same be said about them?

Note the article said “illustrative photo” – meaning they aren’t even claiming the police dispatcher was hareidi. The fact they chose a hareidi to illustrate the article is typical of bias towards minorities.
One needs to remember that to most zionists, the hareidim, not the Arabs, are the leading threat to Israel.

The Times of Israel has always been known as an anti-Semitic rag. Their hatred of Hareidim has been almost open as long as they’ve been around.

The article is at http://www.timesofisrael.com/panel-to-probe-dismissed-call-from-kidnapped-teen/. I think everyone should go there and express their distaste in polite but firm terms, in their comments section.

The Times of Israel is a sleazy blog and news aggregator without journalistic standards or investigative rigour, despite its bombastic name, however …

In this particular case they do clearly caption the the photo as an “illustrative photo” and so this outrage is misdirected.
