Channel 14 media personality Yinon Magal on Sunday slammed the conduct of the police and the police commissioner towards the left-wing protests across Israel and called it a “disgrace.”
“The conduct of the police is, of course, a disgrace,” Magal wrote on his X account. “Because when Chareidi people block a road, the police step on them as if they were cockroaches and break their bones.”
He added in a direct accusation against the police commissioner: “Except that with Police Commissioner Danny Levy, there are those who are allowed to block a road and those who are not allowed to. Shameful.”
Despite the police announcement on Sunday morning that thousands of police officers would be deployed across the country beginning at 6:00 a.m., in practice a handful of demonstrators at each junction managed to block central traffic arteries with relative ease.
The police refrained from clearing the protesters in the first hours of the protest and only began to arrest rioters toward noon, allowing highways to be blocked for several hours.

Foolish article. There are MANY videos posted since last night (including one on TYW) of Magav beating people badly as they blocked roads yesterday protesting the Matzav in Gaza.
There is no selective treatment. As in any normal country. Blocked the road and pay the price. #FAFO
What else is new? Lefty causes are always treated with great respect because they have the backing of the entire labor force, media, unions, universities, and most corrupt politicians. Who stands on the side of a Yeshiva boy? Nobody unfortunately
Eileh elohecha, Tziyonim.
Do not forget that millions of dollars are funneled into these lefty protests to try to bring down the right wing government. Money is flowing in by the millions to keep these protests going and rest assured police are lining their pockets as well. The same happened in America. Who is funding the anti Israel protests on colleges. The George Soros gang.
Duvyy – I am no fan of Hafganot, but in all fairness, do a little background research. There is a big difference. When they use the “Skunk” on the Lefties let me know. It took a long time and much illegal activity by the Left until the police even began pushing back altogether. Is the secular reporter too Chareidi for you to trust? As for why this is the case, “Flatbush yid” got it right…
