It might be true, but your comment does nothing to convince anyone.<br /><br />Also, anonymous name-calling is just babyish.

But no rabbonim justify it publicly. They bow off with the excuse that they have no control over these people. But I am pretty sure that some of them at least quietly push these events to happen. As I wrote in the post, when somebody moves into the neighborhood who does not comply with their "levels of tznius", or someone form a different social group, or someone with kids that are troubled teens, etc. they find ways of forcing them out. When people go shopping in their neighborhood dressed to different tznius standards, they have ways of pressuring them to either change their dress when they come in or shop elsewhere. They shoul ddo the same for these peopel they say they condemn but have no power over. <br /><br />jacob - that is very sad, but very true to an extent. When I wa sin yeshiva we went to a lot of protests as well, including many of thos eon Bar Ilan. A lot of us went simply for the reasons that we were looking for excitement.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-852739278303814402007-02-07T04:07:00.000+02:002007-02-07T04:07:00.000+02:00Hey Rafi,thanks for all the great feedback on my b...Hey Rafi,thanks for all the great feedback on my blog.<br /><br />My parents live in Geula and when I was growing up, blocking roads and all was very common. In fact, I participated in the riots on Bar-Ilan Ave ..Remember those?<br /><br />I only went because...well,I was 11 years old and it was so exciting! Policemen everywhere , water cannons soaking the chassidim, <br />What better way to celebrate shabbos?<br /><br />Obviously,now I know better than to be a menace to the public but I feel that a lot of what goes on is because people are simply bored.<br /><br />No television, no sports, no way to release energy. So..Lets go burn some garbage cans! Throw some rocks!<br /><br />How sad.Jacob Da Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271564852032891769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-65462680761973688942007-02-06T19:13:00.000+02:002007-02-06T19:13:00.000+02:00you are not painting a pretty picture of life in i...you are not painting a pretty picture of life in israel. unfortunately this activity is becoming more common. apologists can no longer write it off as an aberation. i guess they've learned a lesson from palestinian terrorists.<br /><br />"Then the police came and arrested a number of people. This is where it gets unclear. It is unclear whether they arrested the people involved in stealing the body, involved in beating the police, involved in planning and running the incident, or just innocent bystanders who were "watching" at one of the original protests."<br /><br />except for the bystanders, they should all be arrested. and so should any rabbonim and communal leaders who ex post fact justify the violence.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-41720146317681234292007-02-06T18:54:00.000+02:002007-02-06T18:54:00.000+02:00Who could forget the same protests for separate se...Who could forget the same protests for separate seating on some of the Egged bus lines to the area?
