An Israel Police officer is seen slapping an unarmed young Chareidi teen protester in the face and then choking him repeatedly during a protest that took place on Sunday.
Regardless of one’s views on the Peleg Yerushalmi protesters or the demonstrations themselves, the fact is, Israeli police do not treat left-wing, secular protesters — who have shut down roads and disrupted the country for years — in a similar manner. Another fact is that incidents involving police brutality against Chareidim NEVER lead to accountability.
YWN notes that two years ago, police in Yerushalayim violently beat a Chareidi child with Down syndrome. No officer was ever held accountable in that case either.

YWN nice editing, I want to see what took place prior to the 42 second clip.
A word to the wise and not so wise. When you go looking for a fight you may get yourself into more trouble than you bargained for.
What do you think is going to happen if you try closing down a highway? Either (1)you will get arrested or (2)you will get beaten up. There will be a lot of complaining here afterwards but that is the price you are agreeing to pay for using such tactics.
Amount of force does not look unreasonable.

Firstly that is life. There is a reason why the US government spent $1.4 MILLION dollars per defendant when it came to prosecuting the January 6 rioters but largely ignored BLM rioters who did a lot worse. If you break the law for a cause that law enforcement identifies with you will get into a lot less trouble than if you break the law for a cause they oppose.
Secondly, do secular protesters call the police “Nazis” “Shiktza” and TRY to get on their nerves the same way some Peleg protestors do?
These people are not chareidi. This is not a representation of being chareid l’dvar Hashem. I don’t blame the kids but the adult who allow this dispeacable behavior. Let’s paint the scenario in a different light. Maybe somewhere in the traffic jam these chayos created there was someone on the way to the hospital or some other urgent need that was being prevented by this pointless mishagas. The police have every light to restore order for the general public. If you are out and about at one of these protests you should know you are endanger of being disciplined by the police.
Two sets of laws for one land. Thanks to the Supreme Court and attorney general we see what happens to Justice when it comes to investigating someone from their side, one act of treason after another. But when it comes to anything from the right hunt down and prosecute
Bad comparison
The lefties don’t swarm in the hundreds presenting a danger to police in the same way and therefore harsher action is required.
Also, the lefts activities don’t present the same chillul Hashem that someone with Payos and a yamaka has.
If you want to be adorned with the kedusha of Payos and a yamaka, then yes, expect harsher punishment if you misbehave.
Interesting that when it comes to smartphones or other issues – Yeshivaworld goes extreme frum. With zionists putses – they go left?????????
If ywn is going to use these videos as an editial to make a statement that the police force being used is excessive then you also need to give a practical alternative to what the police SHOULD do to rectify the situation. Would beating them with clubs be better? Water cannons? Skunk spray? Tasers? The police have a job to clear the streets so the public can use them. What would be appropriate force to make that happen? Should they flood the area with police from around the country and take their resources away from other areas where they may be needed? If you could give the police advice what would you say?
Reshyoim – the Zionists. Stop deleting my comments!
why is charedi community not reacting to this hillul Hashem – bring charedi militia to detain them with kosher methods; press their parents to keep them at home; denounce them publicly.
On the contrary they’re showing that we won’t sit quietly while they starve and hunt down Yeshiva Boys following their rabbis directive, this is all against what the government wanted. Everything you’re seeing now is because the Attorney General woke up one day and canceled the 80-year law overnight and immediately criminalized and sanctioned everyone without any grace period or compromises whatsoever. They want to play dirty This Is Us playing dirty
supremeAi:
Very bad distinction. Zionist secular “law” is itself a chilul Hashem and obviously has no business discriminating against Jews who are religious.
Maybe you can explain what chillul Hashem has to do with police brutality from non religious policeman which unfortunately don’t care about the honor of Hashem or his torah
2. For what is a self proclaimed democracy how can you justify such clearly different reactions against parties that don’t agree with your hashkafa. Rather it is only democratic to Arabs, secular Israelies, and other religious groups except for religious groups. Because you seemed to have forgotten that the police last week were randomly hitting with their batons women and children on Bar Ilan street which had nothing to do with peleg just they were in a bad mood along with braking one man’s ribcage. And as usual there are no consequences for the police
