It was nice to see this news broadcast. It does not really say anything new, per se, however because of the recent media blitz people are finally speaking out against the extremists who make all the trouble. Unfortunately they are still, for the most part, only willing to talk behind blurred faces, shadows and digitized voices so as not to be recognizable. But it is a start.
People are rejecting the extremists and want them pushed out. The police need to act, and not be afraid of reactions, and arrest those who break the law, who abuse others, who harass others, especially in the name of religion. The haredi community and leaders need to stop ignoring it, stop protecting them, begin rejecting them, and encourage the police to arrest them rather than to let them get off easy.
