I have been following other discussions on this and some have claimed that the issue of public abuse concerns a particular yeshiva or shul, and is being misrepresented by the media as a traditional standoff between charedim/datiim and chilonim.

I would like to read comments from anyone who can confirm that or set me straight.

Meanwhile, Israeli headlines focused heavily today on the verbal harassment of an Israeli woman-soldier on a public bus by a Haredi person for refusing to move to the back of the bus. Arrested earlier today, the assailant is now facing sexual assault charges, which may represent an unprecedented turn of events in the country's legal definition of the term.

Israel: Haredi man charged with sexual harassment of female soldier on bus

An indictment was filed Thursday against Jerusalem resident Shlomo Fuchs, 44, an ultra-Orthodox man who hurled sexist slurs at a female soldier on a public bus in the capital.

Police officials said Fuchs' behavior was unruly, and that he sexually harassed the soldier, Doron Matalon, by humiliating her and making sexual remarks.

The indictment follows a warning issued by Israeli authorities saying they would not tolerate the exclusion of women from the public sphere or any acts of violence towards women. State Prosecutor Moshe Lador stressed that "the prosecution will work with the police to bring this radical phenomenon of haredi extremism to an end."

Sounds like these people have been taking a page from the Taliban book, but hey, it's only religion..../

The key word in the article is 'hundreds'. Yesterday, thousands turned out in support of--uh, sanity.

The Attorney General will be enacting a comprehensive legal strategy to stop their behavior. This is getting very close to being over. Jail time will end it quickly.

Wherever they got the page, it's not from our books.
