Dozens of Chareidi protesters blocked major roads Tuesday evening in Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, leading to clashes with police and significant traffic disruptions.
The demonstrations, held in protest of the arrests of yeshiva bochurim, saw protesters blocking key intersections and setting objects ablaze in the roadway. Police, Border Police, and riot-control units were dispatched to disperse the crowds and reopen the roads.
In Jerusalem, the main protest took place along Bar-Lev Boulevard, while in Beit Shemesh demonstrators gathered near the Nahar Hayarden area.
After police declared the gatherings unlawful and ordered protesters to clear the roads, officers moved in to disperse the crowds. During the operation, police used crowd-control measures, including stun grenades.
“Israel Police acts to allow freedom of expression and lawful protest,” police said in a statement. “However, blocking major traffic arteries and disrupting the daily lives of citizens will not be tolerated.”

i want to know how do you think the soldiers feel, they are dying for you and what do you do block traffic. go pray and learn for them like you are supposed to instead of being so worried about the draft
why are you running from the police when they chase you if you really believe in the cause you should stay put
So they should just keep letting people get arrested and treated like crap for a month or two in those shmad prisons? Stop telling them to learn and pray when they keep getting interrupted
If you are a charedi in Israel, you should probably make a stand, either join the protesters and suffer consequences. Or, if you think they are out of line, don’t just watch police dealing with them, restore order in your community. Organize rabbinical letters, organize ciunter demonstrations, militia, use cherem
These hooligans should all be sent to the front lines to fight
The female storm-trooper didn’t have to repeatedly kick the Jew. So evil.
@dont :
That’s also how the 1492-era Spanish Inquisition felt. They’re busy trying to convert you from your religion yet you insist on remaining Jewish. Same problem with that army.
