It's a minority without any responsible position .

So not only was Mr. Gold only able to scrape up about 100 chareidim willing to condemn the violence, but from the sound of it he is only opposed to the tactics employed by the thugs as distinct from the philosophy which guides them. I think this only lends credence to the notion that the Beit Shemesh thugs are chareidi mainstream in thought if not in deed.

I love Israel, but something has to be done to control these Jewish Taliban. To intimidate and spit on little girls is cowardly and despicable and these demented people have to be stopped from this craziness. Every society has its fanatics who use religion as an excuse for criminal behavior and these angry and demented men must be arrested and women and girls allowed to go to school and live without fear of maniacs.

for ALL goodhearted Jews . Their differences in opinion and their imperfections might give reasons to average people for being unhappy. But Charles,you are not an average guy,far from that. If you WANT to be happy.Be.

but not because of those 100 "charidim" who join the protests . Thanks for your "compliments" . I'll be in our birth town in March .
