To Charles. That's good that at last you acknowledge the good things done by Charedim in the Israeli society. Now my question. If a religious person performs a "mitzwah" (see the picture above), i.e. does a terrible work on a completely voluntarily basis without any material reward, which a secular person would never do for any amount of money, is it fair to punch, kick and trample this volunteer, to abuse him with all kinds of accusations? Or may be one should express gratitude to him? What do think, Charles? P.S. "vladimir" in post # 29 is not me.

I know who you are , and 29 is yours .

Tell me my "real" name. And I am not #29. Somebody wrote under my name. You see how popular I am?

It's very sad. We are seeing some sectors of the Haredim community turn violent and irrational, quite often going against the Talmud (because some pseudo rabbi says it's ok). The reason, in my opinion, is poverty and internal discontent. Despite their alleged spirituality, they're behaving like any empoverished mass. Not so different from the riots in Paris from a few years ago. Similar social phenomenon, same end results.
