Putting the ‘FU’ back in Fundamentalism: Beit Shemesh

I support diversity, but there are limits. Like say, if my new neighbors aren’t religious enough. Then I riot, and when the cops come, I throw stones, because they made me.

Ynet reports,

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox on Monday blocked a road leading to the Ramat Beit Shemesh neighborhood near Jerusalem, set fire to garbage carts and hurled stones at police officers who were dispatched to the area.

The reason for the commotion was a protest against a new family that moved to the neighborhood and is “not religious enough,” according to the protestors.

An hour later, police officers managed to disperse the demonstration and opened the road for traffic.

The demonstrators were also protesting the arrest of two ultra-Orthodox men Sunday night, after the two blocked the road with garbage bins to protest against the presence of the new family.

Now, I know some of you might be thinking, “Hey, that story doesn’t say the family isn’t religious, it says they aren’t religious enough!”

But that’s just the point. That’s even more dangerous. A little Torah is worse than no Torah at all. They represent a gateway to athiesm and a hefker lifestyle. Such a neighborhood can also destroy the reputation of our community, and make shidduchim difficult for our children. And I heard the mother of this family is a big whore. Look at her head “covering.” Do you see what I see? That’s right! Hair sticking out — REAL HAIR!

They are Yavanim. Let them go elsewhere. Nisht do!
