Recent Yerushalayim Hafganah costs
(Monday, November 20th, 2006)
A pity it wasn’t more of a damage.MAYBE they’ll learn not to try that garbage again.
The Municipality of Yerushalayim can deduct it from its Maaser/Tzedoka fund, as it was money well spent! – Yasher Koach to all those heilige Yidden who were moyser nefesh to “fight for what’s right”!
I propose that they send the bill to the organizers of the shame parade. If you want to be conroversial, then you gotta pay for it! On the other hand, this will hopefully make the city think long and hard before they allow another disgusting display to be planned!
I am not agreeing with the Shame Parade, however, 170 destroyed traffic lights and 800 burned garbage containers…Is that something to be proud of?
Steinway – you are right on the mark!! It’s one thing to protest a tremendous Chillul HaShem, such as the abominable parade, but to make an even greater Chillul HaShem while doing it…doesn’t make much sense to me.
definitly, i agree with steinway and sg, i was there at those hafganos of breaking traffic lights and it was a terrible chillul hashem. BUT I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THESE PEOPLE WHO DID THESE ACTS WERE NOT HIEMISHE GUYS.
