Yisrael Porush, son of United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush, was arrested by police on Motzei Shabbos during a protest outside Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara in Tel Aviv.

Porush, a member of the Elad city council for the Shlomei Emunim movement, a former mayor of the Chareidi city, and leader of the Magen u-Moshi�a anti-enlistment group, was protesting against the detention of Chareidim for refusing to report to IDF draft notices.

A video posted on an official Shlomei Emunim WhatsApp group shows Porush, wearing a Tallis, entering a police vehicle. He states, �I am being arrested for blowing the shofar in the Land of Israel while there are a hundred young men in detention.�

There are around 100 Chareidim in military prison as of last week.

In a statement, Shlomei Emunim called the arrest �an outrageous violation of the right to protest,� while MK Porush stated that his son�s detention reveals the �hypocrisy� of those protesting the government. �That cannot be considered democracy,� he said, adding, �when people demonstrate against the attorney general, who demands mass arrests with governmental violence and the denial of the right to study Torah�that is forbidden, and the demonstrator must be arrested.�

Porush strongly criticized authorities, saying, �Rabbi Porush exposed this hypocrisy tonight. Thanks to him, everyone now knows that the State of Israel is not a nation of law, but a dictatorship hostile to democracy. There are unelected rulers in the legal system against whom it is forbidden to protest.�
