What’s the big deal here? A clueless editor or reporter for this website saw a guy in a while shirt and decided he’s a “yeshiva bochur” even though he said quite cldarly on the video that he’s a university student. This student/bochur said something the editors/promoters of the website didn’t like – even though the Israeli Shabak held the same opinion (not to place metal detectors on Har Habayis) — and proceeded to castigate this poor fellow. Some people just can’t pass up the opportunity to make someone Chareidi look or sound foolish and if he looks like a yeshiva bochur all the more so! Someone rushed to judgement on the entire story, and YWN is now eating crow.
Admit that a mistake was committed, take down the article with the video, and move on. Sheesh!! All this talk about a non-issue.
