If anyone has other details, you can post them here. If you find this story misrepresented due to its unbelievable feel, they obviously don’t live in Israel.

To 7, 14, this is not about chareidim moving in, but giving local families a place to educate their children with morals and without violence.

This is an example of what the Gemara says that preempts the tainos of the umos ha’oilom liusid lavo. They will come clamoring for their share in the zechus of all the Tora that they were toimech but will get nothing because all was done for their own benefit. vhamein yavin, tshuva l’minim v’…

“Your tone is offensive.” – so are the secular Jews

“Africans…” – I’m not sure what you are referring to. I am referring to a so-called “Jewish” state that systematically marginalizes Orthodox Jews, in a matter similar to how the United States historically marginalized Blacks. The bigotted treatment of Orthodox Jews by the secular elites, while shocking to someone raised in the post-WWII civil right traditions of the USA, is quite predictable if one understands how the hiloni perceive us.

The secular Israelis are terrified of the “demographic explosion” of Hareidim in Israel, who will comprise over 25% of the kindergarten population in a few years.

They are desparate to suppress the growth of Torah schools at any price, even to the point of bulldozing them down (a-la Arab terrorists). They use technicalities as an excuse.

The secular Government authorities often look the other way when these bullying tactics are used.

1) Your tone is offensive.

2) Africans sat on the back of the bus, while you sit on the front! If you chose your busses to have the back to only have men, you would have the same result with less hate being sent towards you. I would not want forced seperate seating, bleachings, muggings in the name of G-d and other lawless activity in my neighborhood, and neither would any other person.

to #7 “Can people here possibly see why the residents of such a town mught be aprehensive about having chareidim amongst them? ”
— it is easy to understand, we’re the niggers of Israel – so why are we shocked that they treat us the way most Americans until recently treated Blacks (they were “Negroes” back then).

Can you trust AP, Associated Palestinians? How about the New York Slimes? Tachas Haaretz is where it really belongs.

Do the posters here have the same questioning attitude when it comes to anti Chareidi articles from a very biased press? My reading of the postings here dictates otherwise.
