To all those defending the rock throwing, child intimidating, rioters:
1. The frum school is in a frum neighborhood that has a long established MO/Chardal/RZ community. The rov in the community was a talmid of Rav Soloveitchik and Rav Lichtenstien. It is not pushing in to a chareidi neighborhood.
2. The group that is doing the violence and protest are the newcomers, having moved in to the edge of the neighborhood more recently, putting the school in question near their homes by their own choice.
3. The girls in question dress in a tzniusdik manner by all but the most over the top standards. The mothers also do, and cover their hair of course. The fathers wear velvet, suede, cloth, and srugah kippot, and some wear black hats.
4. The mayor of Bet Shemesh is acting in a craven weak and unworthy manner in not cracking down.
5. The activities of the rioters is a massive chilul hashem, and is doing much to harm relations between two communities that have much in common and should get along. I have BT friends who live on the street and they are appalled and upset at the rishus coming from those they are supposed to look to as exemplars of yiddishkeit.
6. The families sending their kids to this school include many, many people who work hard and learn Torah. They send their boys to the army, and some of their girls do sherut leumi in hospitals and schools. They are good, God fearing people, and they are the backbone of Israel. I am horrified that they are abused and disrespected in this manner.
