Several protesters were arrested after they smashed the store’s front door and glass, and clashed with police officers.

Hundreds of Charedim attended the protest. Posters around the city called on the public to demonstrate against “isolated cell phone shops which remain unsupervised and a threat to the city’s residents”.

According to the Kikar Shabbos website, organizers claimed that the store sells defective devices, but in fact the store refuses to pay for kosher supervision from the “Communications Vaad”, yet insists on selling kosher devices.

The “mostly peaceful” demonstration turned violent when protesters tried to break into the store and eventually smashed the front door. A number of people were injured due to shattered glass.

The storeowner posted a video on social media blasting the protesters, saying: “Complete vandalism. Breaking our door…violent people, this is not religion, not Judaism, this is nothing, it’s against everything we know.”

What a waste of humanity. These guys have nothing to do with their time, just giving off steam while protesting.It is like a sport to them.
They could use this energy to help defend the country while shouldering some responsibility. But NO let others do the heavy lifting and I will waste my days eating falafel and find any reason to protest

More like the store owner wasn’t paying protection money to the mob so they tried to teach him a lesson that you must pay protection money.

This all about the Vaad Harabonim making money. That is why the Minister of Telecommunications wants to crack down. Let’s hope he suceeds.

Last time lived there mobile phones barely existed so I don’t know what’s really happening there now.

Anyone commenting on VIN live in Bnai Braq?

Another Charedi protest in which the Pally Psycho Death Cult are shown to be rank amateurs when it comes to civil insurrection and nihilistic violence.

Don’t complain about our enemies when we conduct ourselves far worse!

Some Chaverim and I traveled to Western New York to protest the railroad. There will not be progress! And with them in charge there wouldn’t be. These Neanderthals couldn’t multiply themselves out of a paper bag.

Why call the store kosher? If it doesn’t have any supervision. He definitely sounds like a provocator,
