ROB- you said”If you want to have women at the back of the bus,organize your own bus lines. Till then, buses are for everyone and no one should be forced to move to the back.”
thats an interesting point. an ironic one too. the the chareidim have repeatedly attempted to organize private companies so that these things wouldnt be an issue. what happened, you ask? what happenede was that because egged has a fat monopoly on anything to do with buses, they were able to ensure that the chareidi buses failed any inspections and couldnt recieve any certifications needed to operate. thereby forcing everyone to use egged. thereby ensuring a continuation of conflict.
you also said”As far as the fountain goes, would you like if chilonom come and make merry in your beth medrash?”
the comparison is ridiculous. of course i believe in respecting others’ feelings and not antagonizing another, but this fountain has no inherent kedusha, has no halachic status. the water and stones are nothing. whereas a beis medrash has many halachos that apply to it.
i do agree with the points about attacking frum soldiers and spitting on little girls, but it is important to recognize that the perpetrators of these acts are not chareidim, they are wackos. say i call them ‘super-chareidm’ will you leave us alone?
