JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Charedi soldiers celebrating the eighth night of Chanukah at a social hall in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem were accosted by a group of protesters. The protesters attempted to enter the hall and disrupt the party being held for the soldiers. They also heckled the soldiers, calling them “impure” and “hellenistic” in a reference to Jews who adopted Greek habits during the period of Greek influence prior to the Chanukah story.

The mob attempted to enter the hall and disrupt the event, but security guards and soldiers blocked the entrance. The soldiers were marking a memorial for fallen comrades Yuval Mor-Yosef and Yosef Cohen, who were murdered in a terrorist attack at Givat Assaf in the Binyamin region four years ago.

Police forces eventually dispersed the protesters. No injuries or arrests were reported.
The director of the Netzach Yehuda chareidi unit, Yossi Levi, said that “it is sad that a few extremists came to wreck the event.”
Repulsive
When Jews fight each other, their enemies smile.
I thought that intelligence was the hallmark of the Jewish people. Where do all these morons come from?

Heckler extremists should have been drafted on the spot.
It is almost certain that every soldier in Netzah Yehuda consulted Torah before enlisting, viz., the protestors are protesting Torah.
In today’s time we’re all impure.
Note that the protesters have American accents.
shame, but note that the protest was NOT violent.
they expressed their opinions, OK, we might not agree, but it is their right. but it was not violent.
“Chareidi soldiers”? Seriously?
That modern (allegedly) orthodox who is the target of verbal attacks in the video is chareidi? How?
Bklal, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “CHAREIDI SOLDIER” in the Israeli military.
What is the point of this article?
The Comedy of Israel and the Jewish people. I don’t even care who’s in power, everyone takes themselves so seriously, IT’S HILARIOUS…
So they heckeld who cares ? It’s freedom of speech.
Zionism, its “State” and its army are all shmad.
The Zionist army brainwashes its soldiers – all of them – with their heretical version of Judaism. That alone is shmad.
The protesters are 100%right
