Much has been written about the fight in the park in Ramat Bet Shemesh this past summer. For those of you who do not know what I am referring to, I will briefly recap the events.

The city of Bet Shemesh with Kupat Holim (HMO) Meuhedet were inaugurating a walking path in the neighborhood. As part of the festivities, they made an event in the main park with the local boys choir, Kol B'Ramah, as the featured entertainement.

The event was not declared "separate seating". It was mostly people milling about in a "family oriented" atmosphere. About 80% of the people there were women and kids with a few scattered men.

During the performance, a group of thugs led by their leader (a local Rabbi) attempted to break up the performance. They crashed the stage and tried to pressure people to leave the area. At one point one of the thugs pushed one of the kids from the choir off the stage physically.

Basically the thugs were run out of the park and the show went on.

I was just alerted to a video clip of a few minutes of the event. In the video you see the thugs screaming wildly on stage, you see the microphone get cut off after being grabbed by the leader, and then the show continues...

enjoy, or not..
