Haredi soldiers continue to get death threats from inside their community
Haredi soldiers and recruiters are receiving threatening messages from extremists within their own community, victims revealed to the Israeli press on Thursday, as part of an ongoing incitement and hatred campaign against the IDF's religious staff.Wow, it's clear at this point the extremists have even resorted to borrowing pages from the Islamist playbook. What they're doing at this point is abominable and they should be jailed for the actions they're taking. But is the police going to do anything about it? So far, it doesn't look like anything's being done.
Victims have received such insults as "Israel hater," "burner of souls," and been told to check into mental health facilities.
Recordings of the calls aired on Walla! News on Thursday night, shortly after the outlet also revealed that booklets had been published with soldiers' names, photos, and personal details.
"Let us live as Jews - do not dare to recruit men to the IDF," one of the extremists states in the recording to a haredi IDF recruiter. "Shame on you. You're a disgrace."
"Don't you dare touch the soul of a Jew," he continued. "You're causing the masses to sin."
Several recruiters told the outlet that they had received a never-ending stream of hate calls from private numbers in recent days since they distributed their information within the haredi community.
In another recording, an extremist calls one recruiter a sheigitz, a Yiddish pejorative for Gentiles, and claimed that the recruiter's soul would have to stand judgement for his actions on Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year.
And in yet another recording, a haredi extremist with a false Arabic accent threatens to find a recruiter and attack him at home, calling him a "dog" and stating, "if you're Jews, we're ISIS." He then spit out the phrase Itbach Al-Yahud, the Arabic term for "Death to the Jews."
