Anti-army Haredis make death threats against pro-army advocate
Another report of horrific threats made by Haredi extremists against another Haredi trying to encourage younger community members to join the IDF:
Eli Adler, a 54-year-old haredi resident of Elad who works in the Shahar organization that encourages haredi youth who have dropped out to join the job market, academia or enlist in the IDF, has received shocking death threats.And this latest abomination truly crosses the line. Those creeps have to be tracked down and punished sooner or later, because what they're doing is certainly dangerous. They cannot be ignored anymore.
"Tonight you die, you'll be strangled," a haredi man who called Adler and refused to identify himself threatened ominously, in a call that was recorded and exposed by Walla on Wednesday.
It isn't the first threatening phone call Adler and his family members have received in the past two years from radical haredi Jews who oppose his work of integrating haredi youth into Israeli society.
Extremist haredi sources have accused him of "treating the youth that drops out by sending them to the IDF, and instead of returning them to what is good - he tosses them into the abyss."
In the recent call received and recorded by Adler, who serves as the director of Shahar's education and youth dropouts department, an anonymous man is heard cursing and threatening him repeatedly.
"You are stinking trash, you donkey, you and your children will be burned in fire, a strange death, they'll make cutlets out of you and slaughter you, they'll cut off each of your fingers and put them in salt," threatened the haredi man.
"You deserve every curse. You will receive all of this. All of the curses written in the Torah, you deserve 1,000 times as much."
Adler told Walla that he does not intend to respond, but his wife told the news site that in the last two years he and the family have been exposed to threats and curses by radical haredim.
