It must be hard to drink the kool-aid with your head buried so deep in the sand – come up for air and perhaps you’ll see how crazy it really is out here.

2. You don’t need that many people to put up posters!

3. The movement is NOT vague . It is trying to bring unity to Am Yisrael.

What is the parent body /Dati Leumi doing for unity in klal yisrael? ZERO.

They start trouble with the bus issues and only care about their rights, not the rights of the chareidi women who like the mehadrin bus lines. They do flashmobs in the middle of tachana mercazit and dance in front of men which is against halacha. etc etc.

2) YOU SAID “There is no chareidi silence. We just aren’t talking to the media. ” the men are conveniently sitting and learning when it benefits they current needs yet somehow the chareidi community can muster hundreds or thousands and plaster the town in white and black when they are upset at some small offshoot of the electric company.

3)YOU SAID “Who cares about the pashkivilim?The fact is that there is a movement to correct things.” see #2 AND the “movement” is intentionally vague because no one wants to overtly stand up to these hooligans the way they overtly stand up to say the gay pride parade . But hey you can be the first – come and say that what the group of yutzes in beit shemesh, and those violent nuts in batei varsaw and the jerks who attacked Manny’s day in and day our are wrong… or maybe you are content to ‘work’ on your bein adam lechavero

4)you are right on this end: but I’ve never seen a greater lack of bein adom lechavero than in geulah/meah shearim

2. There is no chareidi silence. We just aren’t talking to the media. The men are sitting and learning TORAH..
3. Who cares about the pashkivilim?The fact is that there is a movement to correct things.

4. It is NEVER to late to work on Bein Adam L’Chavero. But let me tell you that it’s not just the Chareidi community that has issues. Unfortunately all sects have their Bein Adam L’Chavero issues and the dati leumi community is not immune. There is a chazal that says that you can start every day anew and do Teshuvah!

its people like you that justify my screen name.
1) the planning of the school predates the neighborhood, so that argument should be turned on its head: who told them to build their neighborhood across from a girl’s school

2)I’ve never heard a more moronic justification of the general chareidi silence. Contrast the dinky little sign in your anonymous apartment building with the thousands of pashkvilim that get plastered around the city every time some group disagrees with the way we now part our hair or some other meshugas. Or the thousands who show up to protest everytime there is a slight chashas that they are digging up someone’s grave…

but your signs are right — there is a huge problem with bein adom l’chavero in the charedi community– but i think the efforts are far too little and much too late.

No the Charedi lack of response, compared to their general response to everything else that minimally irks them is DEAFENING!

The story is the fact that the national media (funny how the Associated Press seems to be leading the charge, as there may not be amore anti-simetic rag) is making such a big thing of it, and for what reason?
