Have the extremists won? Light rail work halted on Geula route

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/425993

Israel’s Ministry of Transport decided last night (Wednesday) to halt work on the Jerusalem light rail lines in the Geula and Bar-Ilan Street corridors and redirect the budget to other locations, following exceptional security costs caused by violent protests against the project. The report was published today in Israel Hayom.

To date, the state has spent more than 326 million shekels on securing the construction work and repairing vandalism damage in those areas. The protests, which take place almost every time work is carried out in the area, include road blockages, clashes with security forces, and damage to equipment and infrastructure.

  1. I wonder how many people look at these extremists and think that maybe the Germans had a reason for not liking their Jews.

    2. Yes it's extreme but think about it.
      What do our enemies do? They hold up pictures of Jews who look Chareidi. Yes, the features are exxagerrated but that's what they do. Then they talk about Jews being dirty - have you been to Mea Shearim or other chareidi neighbourhoods lately? They talk about them being money-hungry parasites. Watched Israeli politics lately? They talk about them disrupting the societies they live in for their own selfish needed. Hey, what's this article about?
      I didn't say that people think the Germans were right for what they did but when these extremists insist on looking and behaving exactly like what the antiSemites say we look and act like, it wouldn't be out of people's minds to think "Well obviously the Holocaust was wrong but we can understand why the Germans wanted to be rid of them"

    3. People hate Jews for whatever reason. Giving some kind of justification for it is dangerous.
      Many of the current haters actually or at least officially say they are not against the hareidi who are not supporting the Medina. I don't buy that, however to also place them on a hate list is not acceptable.
      I disagree with their vandalism and bittul Torah.

    4. Yes, people don't need encouragement to hate us but they also don't need to have the material they want to justify their hate handed to them.
      Don't forget that to the Gentiles, we all look the same. A menuval Chareidi protestor in Jerusalem reflects on all of us and the disgust people feel for him will be extended to us.

  2. The islamo left and the Nazi right use Epstein against Jews, Israel etc.
    The islamo left seem to celebrate the neturei karta mob who oppose the army etc.

    1. People forget that after Arafat, y"sh, arrived in Ramallah he appointed the head of the NK to be his Minister Of Jewish Affairs and there was a picture of them in the paper embracing.
