Jewish 'modesty patrols' sow fear in Israel
Zealots accused of beating Jerusalem woman for allegedly consorting with men, torching store selling MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to download pornography. 'It's very similar to what you hear about in countries like Iran,' says novelist Naomi Ragen

Many haredi Jews dismayed by violence
I thought I had posted the link the first time, lol. Look I'm not bashing anyone I'm just reporting the article, don't you want to know what's going on out there...

:laugh: so?

Fonzworth, it has been quite a while since you made a post that wasn't bashing religious Jews.
-
Sounds like a description of Islamic areas.. This might be a false article bashing religious Jews...
If this were true, I would have a terrible issue with Jews acting in this manner.
-
sounds like it could be a false report to incite violence, and more hatred towards Jewish people.

The truth is that it is false propaganda (wayy overly stated, etc.) BUT if you want to say that it sounds like something that would be in an islamic country, I have news for you- Our society is supposed to be even stricter, and people should stop imagining Judaism to be liberal non-sense.

Post a link

By the way I do imagine that it can and maybe did happen, but what they wont tell you is that many times they are provoked. For example take an "ultra-Orthodox" Neighborhood. They try to keep their children and themselves far away from immodesty. Make sure they dont see immodest ladies- So they wont go to Tel-Aviv, have signs in their neighborhoods to follow the dress code- Dont drive on their neighborhood streets on Shabbat etc. Then their are sometimes people who purposly drive by just to get at them. Or a lady not dressing modestly not caring, etc. For them it is a crime, and I'm guessing that they rationalise that "better get into one fight and keep them away"- then have them do what they want and take us down with them.

Enough of this propaganda!

The article is definitely anti-religious. However, I doubt it is a complete lie.
Certainly, isolated occurences of some religious Jews in Israel going 'too far' or 'overboard' in defending the modesty of their communities, can't be realistically compared with the state sanctioned modesty patrols found in Islamic sewers like Saudi Arabia and Iran.
However, the story does raise an interesting question:
If Israel is to be a Jewish State, ruled by Jewish law and Judaism, how far should the state go in imposing strict religious rule over the secular component of it's citizenry ?
This is a very difficult issue and worthy of further thought and discussion.

Fonzworth, do you want to be banned? Imo it looks like this. :o
-
oHHH Let me do it.. My turn. Please please please. :jump:

This article is very weak. All so called witnesses of the "attacks" are not mentioned by name.
The unidentified, 31-year-old woman
"They can burn in hell," said the girl, who would identify herself only as Rivka.
Ragen and several other women challenged the practice in Israel's Supreme Court after an Orthodox Canadian woman in her 50s told police she was kicked, slapped, pushed to the floor and spat upon by men for refusing to move to the back of the bus.
This is a smear campaign. It is obvious.
Anonyme wittnesses and comparisons with the apartheid.

Except we don't go from point 0 to point 360 over night! Such changes would take generations. Otherwise there would be a lot of revolution and a lot of unnecessary death and a lot of people leaving Judaism..I can promise you that...Strict isn't necessarily the right way. Not yet..not today. Maybe tomorrow..but who knows...IT was the way of yesterday...

Answer: Very gradually...VERY...may take 3-20 generations for it to be done properly.

As usual, a Euro-Communist propaganda.
