thanks bupkiss for the reply.

fyi the article called it “Nazi like beatings” . The casual use of this term by a frum news service is wrong. As sick and cruel as these police officers may act, they are a bunch of boy scouts compared to the actual Nazi’s.

Editors note: At least ‘copy & paste’ correctly. What was written was “Nazi-style-beatings”.

It has always disturbed me when I hear people using the term Nazi to describe someone who is tough. Usually, goyim are the only ones who can say this so lightly. I lived my entire life amongst holocaust survivors and you can bet none of them ever compared some mean cop to a Nazi.

It reminds me of a story with some Rov at the mikva. His meshorays found him sitting on a bench trembling and asked what was wrong. He said that as he was preparing to go into the bor, someone asked his friend if the water was hot. The friend replied, “iz heis vi gehinnom!”. Said the Rov, “And then I was reminded of Gehinnom”!

The flippancy displayed by goyim, who are all interested in downplaying what actually happened, is expected. When Yidden use this term, I can only assume that they are tinokos shenishbu – i.e. they were kept away from the survivors and/or their stories. Learn to take seriously what is meant to be serious. There are other terms for stam nasty or violent people.

I am referring to the people who blogged here, as the article states that the defendents did not call them Nazis. However, people here did.

One thing that a lot of you are failing to realize is that a lot of these cops are not even Jewish (YES NON JEWS !!!). Anyone who has lived here for a while knows that the cops that come to the protests are known as Yasam. They are merciless and don’t care who they hurt. I have personally seen a bouchur walk past a cop. He did nothing wrong. And for no reason he kicked him (they wear real big shoes/boots). Getting back to what I said above a lot of the cops are harden Prussians who came to Israel for a “better life”. Some of them faked their papers to come to Israel and lots openly say that they aren’t Jewish. Why Israel let them in is not a discussion for here (I don’t want to start a war). So to some it up Z yes they are NAZI’s !!

I’m not saying the have a right to do what they did.

I’m just saying that they know nothing.

Would the Nazi’s do what they did ?

No. They would have beaten and killed everybody in site and hung their bodies from light poles to publicly rot. RCH’L.
I wish I was kidding.

They should drain their bank accounts and all the rest of the Frum Oilam should do the same!

i cannot believe only 10000 nis was awarded

i hope that besides this trail they can also sue in civil court & seek further damages.
they should also help all other victims sue the govt

once it hurts them in the pocket, they will stop to hurt us

after that we should go after & sue the judges who make these unfair rulings & let the police continue this behavier by not punishing them adequatly

Even if the would be Tinuk Shenishba it doesn’t give them the right to treat them like this & beat them up. I don’t know if the Natzis would have done what they do.

Rav Segal zt”l writes in Yorah Vedaas: “HaShoah, aeini yodeia taam lazeh.” translated: “The Holcoaust! I know no reason for this.”

These police as well as their parents were not raised with Torah. If anything they were brainwashed against it. That is what is called Tinuk Shenishba. If you want to hate, hate the false philosophy of Zionism that brainwashed them. These people don’t even believe in Zionism.
The only answer is Geula and that won’t happen through Baseless hatred, which many people have demonstrated today. In addition in this zman of Sefira I think it is only right to be extra careful on Covid Chaverim and not refer to each other in negative terms but with the utmost repect.

As my rosh yeshiva shlita said, since the elected officials in Israel don’t have too much clout (since they are not elected per se) it is the judges who determine the fate of Israel. Hashiva Shoftainu Kivatichila!
