JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Towards the end of the demonstration against IDF conscription organized on Sunday by the Eda Charedis and the Jerusalem Faction, the protests turned violent, as the demonstrators vented their fury on charedi MKs who they felt were responsible for the current draft law which will enable the conscription of thousands of charedi youths.

Housing minister Yitzchak Goldknopf was the first to suffer the consequences of the anti-government demonstrations, as his car was significantly damaged by rocks and other items thrown at it, as protesters shouted “Be ashamed of yourself”

ככה נראה הרכב של גולדקנופף אחרי טיפול של מפגינים חרדים נגד חוק הגיוס.
דמיינו איזה תגובות היו פה אם זה היה בקפלן: “לינץ’! פוגרום! סכנת חיים!!!!” ושאר מרעין בשין.
לא מעניין את הממשלה הסדר הציבורי, מעניין אותם לשבור את קפלן. לא ניתן להם. pic.twitter.com/KpZbjeW9Za

Goldknopf was not the only government representative whose car was attacked. Former health minister Yaakov Litzman was also heckled and the windows of his car were shattered. Police special forces arrived to escort Litzman away from the angry mob of protesters.

Police said that violent disturbances had broken out after the demonstration. Five people were arrested, two for attacking police and three for throwing projectiles and endangering others.
“Police forces responded to a protest which took place Sunday night, mainly in Sarei Yisrael and Malchei Yisrael streets,” a police statement read. “The protest caused violent disturbances including throwing stones and objects at police and at public representatives passing by, burning items in the road as well as garbage cans in order to block streets and disturbance of the peace.
“After police announced that the troublemakers should leave and they continued to disturb the peace- police used elements to disperse the crowd and restore order.”
In the aftermath of Oct 7, people analyzed what angered Hashem and the consensus was the divisiveness within our camp. Apparently the message hasn’t gotten through to us.
Immediately draft the violent thugs.
I am making a rule that no one has the right to preach to a fellow Jew to go the army unless they themselves become Israeli, go to the army and send their grandchildren and great grandchildren to the army. So that puts the entire issue to bed. Let the chareidim fight it out with their government what right do we have to force the secular Israel government down their throats?
Any one who believes that there really is a chassidisher hechsher is nuts they sign on to one of the major organizations that have the resources to verify finished product is as stated. Besides the fact their personnel are highly trained and not someone that needs work
What’s the story with the Yankees?
Tell it as it is! I would change the headline:
“CHAREIDI JEW IN BLACK CAR NARROWLY ESCAPES LYNCH”
They can attack Jewish govt officials – but not Hamas terrorists who aim to kill them. Shanda!
Is this Torah Judaism? I have never heard of members of the less religious sects of Judaism behaving like this.
Who will take responsibility for leading them?
one question for the oilam.
do we all agree that Maran Rav Shach was the undisputed gadol hador?
Don’t we all try getting into Horav AYL Steinman ztl and Rav MH Hirsch for brachos etc.? apperently we all seem to believe in them and their greatness. so when did it stop? who do you think are the ones not allowing any compromises?
THEM!
so why don’t you all just continue respecting them and believing in them that they know what’s best?!?!?!?
A bunch of chutzpinyaks you all are….
Couldn’t have happened to more deserving MKs. Mitoch shelo lishmoh boh lishmoh.
Do they all want to be slaughtered by the hands of Islam or would they revert to Islam?
All of the Jews should come to America as refugees. The Israelis don’t deserve the zechus of our Torah to protect them. Judaism is a religion, not a race.
