A few weeks ago a cellphone store was gutted by fire, with the fire nearly causing casualties in nearby homes. In Bnei Brak extremists stopped traffic and fought with police at a demonstration against a store and in another incident a cellphone store owner was assaulted by a chareidi passerby.
אלמוני הגיע הלילה והשחית חנות סלולר בשכונת גאולה בירושלים.
כל עוד המשטרה לא תתייחס לזה כאל טרור, לא פחות, מהר נמצא את עצמנו מאבדים שליטה בשכונות החרדיות. pic.twitter.com/v0EMelUKrI— ישי כהן (@ishaycoen) November 15, 2022
Cyclist smashes window of cellphone store
Journalist Yishai Cohen wrote that police needed to relate to such acts as “terror” since if not they would lose control over chareidi neighborhoods.
In other extremist action against technological devices, the Nedarim plus donation devices which are installed in hundreds of shuls in Israel have recently been targeted and broken by extremists. In a fiery speech at a rally against technology a few weeks ago, Rabbi Zvi Meir Zilberberg spoke out against the devices, claiming that they can easily be hacked and used for internet. In the wake of his speech some extremist elements went round a number of shuls and smashed the devices.

Chillul H’shem!
The Jewish Taliban is at work, again.
The cyclist and his ilk are our answer to the Taliban.
Bushot v’cherpot….
Reb Tzvi Mayer should speak out as loud against this as he did against technology.
I’m not a proponent of the internet, however, why are we going after rocks, instead of the knuckleheads holding the rocks? What seichel does a phone have? A tool, yes, a phone is a tool is only as good or dangerous as the tool wielder. Instead of bashing the internet, it’s not going away, stop taking money from people who use the internet. Increasing the geshmak for Torah won’t hurt either.
a mixture of ISIS and Taliban and the Mullah’s in Iran
Groisse Tzadikim not!
Did they ask Reb Tzvi Mayer if they should break it!??
For some unknown reason that part of the world breeds extremists. And that’s one reason I prefer living in the US.
