A Beit Shemesh resident told B’Chadrei Charedim that “it irks me to see these clips. We are closed in cages as if we were spreading disease while the secular public celebrates freely with crowding and all in the presence of the mayor. The whole Independence Day lockdown was due to fear of infection from mass festivities when we Chareidim don’t even celebrate and in the end they lock us down and release everyone else? Where’s the logic?
“We didn’t make a fuss about the lockdown and in the end we pay the price. We could have demanded that as Chareidim we shouldn’t need a lockdown just like sectors which don’t celebrate Pesach were not locked down but we maintained silence in solidarity with Independence Day celebrations. It is really annoying to see what has happened.”
Reporter Yossi Eli posted a clip and asked why Chareidim were forced to lockdown and every prayer brought rapid police intervention and arrests while the rest of the town celebrated without adhering to rules.
בית שמש, האזור החרדי בהסגר מוחלט… כל תפילה גוררת כניסה מאסיבית של המשטרה ופיזור והפרות סדר ותמונות קשות של ילדים זורקים אבנים על המשטרה.
אבל… בלילה ביום העצמאות, זה לא מפריע לעירייה לארגן במה מאולתרת לתושבים מהציבור הכללי! ולגרום להתקהלות וחגיגה בזמן שבכל המדינה שקט. pic.twitter.com/JxCER5a9PB— Yossi Eli יוסי אלי (@Yossi_eli) April 29, 2020

What does complaining help? As long as they’re chaeidi no one will give 2 hoots
The Chareidim refused to lock down and close up when they were supposed to and are now very infectious while the non-chareidim did. So now they reap what they sow.
It’s a stage on wheels that they drove throughout the city. They also kept on telling people to go back to their porches.
About the charity neighborhood’s being on lockdown those are neighborhood’s with a large infection rate.
All you Jew haters here.
If not for chareidim Israel would cease to exist.
You think the pork eating,bare headed, feigilah chillul shabbosniks with tattoos is keeping Israel alive. If not for chareidim including the American ones Israel would be broke. The entire money America supports Israel is because of chareidim. Now you will all shout it’s because of the born again Christians in America. But the born again Christians look up to the chareidim because we are the leaders in morality against gays,abortions and atheism. The reform are anti Israel especially the new generation. I have met many of these born again and they admire us chareidim as the elite of the chosen people. Never forget that. These tziyonim should remember where their bread is buttered.
