Chalilavchas, whether they daven in shuls or not is irrelevant. If they would be thrown into jail, they would be regarded as martyrs by their very few admirers.
Besides which, the poster about civil disobedience happens to be correct. These things upset us because of the chilul Hashem involved. But in terms of protests, if this would be any other population it would go quietly into the night. In terms of doing anything illegal, what is it – disturbing the peace?
Please be aware that there is a HUGE double standard here in EY. Chareidim can be arrested for incitement when they compare police chiefs to Nazis, but when Leftist columnists compare Netanyahu to a Nazi no one says boo. I am not defending Nazi comparisons of anybody, but if it’s grounds for arrest then it should be across the board – which it never is.
The same goes for this kind of stuff.
