@ujm,
Going to work is because there is no choice and you need to support a family.
But to the greater point whether its work or a ball game, two things.
1) You aren’t doing either of that in the name of religion or avodas hashem. (yes one must always remain frum but its not for the name of judaism or kiddish hashem. No=one attend s ball game to be mekadish shem shomaim.). These protests are supposed to be to be mekadish shem shomaim. How are being holy by standing near shkitzas? You think hashem wants you to violate tznuis?
2) The attendees are generally jews who are holding by holy standards and not the common folk. The ehrlicha chasdim don’t believe in working in secular environments and shun ball games because of this too. B&H for example has separate sections for men and women. Ehrlicha yidden taka don’t work in mixed environments. I think most of these NK jews are roughly the same level of ehrlich like stamaras at B&H who don’t take the subway and sit separate at work.
So again I ask what’s the heter tznuis wise?
P.S> if they went to the Israeli consulate and protested separately without mingling then I wouldn’t ask this question.
