Israel (VINnews) — Last week, a mezuzah on the front entrance of an apartment building in Charish, mysteriously vanished. After reviewing footage from surveillance cameras, it was discovered that a restaurant deliveryman ripped the mezuzah off of the doorpost and threw it in the trash.

Waze Delivery has now fired the deliveryman and issued a lengthy apology, saying it respects “every religion and every human being”, and the act “does not represent our values”.
According to Israeli media, the Charish police are currently searching for the suspect, and an investigation is underway.
The B’Tzalmo organization submitted a complaint to the police, demanding the deliveryman be prosecuted.
B’Tzalmo CEO Shai Glick said: “This is a serious incident that cannot be passed over in silence. We will continue to follow the case and make sure the suspect is identified and brought to justice. I call on the shipping company to hand over the suspect’s details to the police and fire him as soon as possible.”
Attorney Michael Litvak said: “This is a serious attack against religious sensibilities and holy objects in Israel. The clear documentation is shocking and offensive to anyone with a Jewish soul…I expect the Israel Police to track down the suspect, arrest him, and bring him to justice.”
The manager of the company said: “I want to apologize on behalf of the company to all the residents of Charish and express our apologies for the inappropriate incident that occurred during a delivery made by a courier employed by the company. As a company, we respect every religion and every human being, the act that happened does not represent our values.”
He added that “according to the reports we received, it was seen that during the delivery the courier tore off the mezuzah and threw it in a garbage can. As a company that holds itself to high standards of integrity and respect for the customer, this is inappropriate and unacceptable.”
He continued: “From the moment reports were heard that our new messenger violated our social and ethical procedures, we fired the messenger from our company. Please accept our apology. We understand that every person can make mistakes, and we would be happy if you gave us an opportunity to change and improve.”
The ethnicity of the delivery man has not been reported.
Baruch Green said:
“The ethnicity of the delivery man has not been reported.”
EXPLANATION:
Because the news media is dominated by the Socialist-Stalinist-Soros-ist Far-Left, the standard procedure is to delete or omit the ethnicity of the criminal, when the criminal is a POC (Person of Color = Black or Hispanic or Arab or Muslim).
But when the criminal is White, then the Politically-Correct standard procedure is to report the ethnicity of the criminal, to accomplish the goal of turning public opinion against White people.
From the photo that comes with this article, the criminal seems to be Black, which explains why: “The ethnicity of the delivery man has NOT been reported.”
The headline should note that this happened in Israel, not in the US.
He should have been arrested before being fired.
The delivery man was an “arab” they fool them self by not saying that he is an arab being politically correct like in America by not saying he was a black person
If the company was actually sorry they would have turned over their employees name!
firing him isn’t much of a punishment, it’s more a symbolic gesture of waze delivery washing their hands of the problem.
he should be fined, heavily, then required to watch the process of replacing the defaced mezuzah, and also to pay for its replacement. or his motorbike could be sold to cover the costs.
if his name isn’t released, there’s no way of knowing whether he was even fired, let alone keeping track of whether he does it again.

They should throw the guy out of the country because he’s clearly not Jewish!
use a nail for the mezuzah and this can be avoided
might well have been influenced by anti frum hate peddlers. I urge everyone to donate to agudah during their campaign now. aguda was at the forefront of fighting the hate ad lies of nyt and yaffed. they exposed the
agenda of all the hate peddlers thanks to them nyt did not get the pulitzer for their yaffed inspired lies. aguda deserves our support!
I heard the story from the “Inside”
It was a Kollel man working to make ends meet. He noticed the Mezuzah was only “Mehadrin” so he took it down as on his next delivery there he was going to replace it with a “Mehadrin min Hamihadrin” Mezuzah.
Worried that a Chiloni might C”V use this Treif Mezuzah, in a panic he threw it away.
This is a great Erev R’H lesson in being Don likaf zchus.
