re: #40 Aye Pod

Yeah I mean HOW DARE anyone feel sympathy for secular Israelis who are being harassed by ultra fundamentalist assholes?

It’s anti-semitism I tell ya!

Taking sides that broadly in a major internal conflict is going to get you absolutely nowhere.

During the recent uproar in Beit Shemesh, haredim were out there protesting against the assholes along with the dati leumi and hiloni neighbors. They were also being harassed, didn’t like it, and didn’t like anyone else having to put up with it.

Painting this as a war between the good, beseiged secular people and the ‘ultra-fundamentalist assholes’ is simply missing the point. There are a lot more than two sides here.
