Did the extremists cross the line?
Some flyers were distributed in Haredi neighborhoods calling on anti-military extremists to murder lady soldiers:
And the extremists who started all this mess should be ashamed of themselves for what they've led to.
In a severe escalation of incitement against haredi (ultra-Orthodox) enlistment in the IDF, a flyer was recently distributed in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods that called for the murder of women soldiers, IDF commanders and anyone involved in recruiting haredi men into the army.So far, it certainly looks like the anti-army thugs are pushing out of the envelope's edge and overboard into incitement to murder in the ways of Islamic jihadists. If those flyers really were the product of evil community minds, then by all means, the culprits should be tracked down and put in a hard labor camp in prison. If they were the product of leftist inciters, then they're the ones who should be made to suffer.
Until now, the campaign against haredi IDF service has refrained from calling for violence, sufficing instead with severe incitement and vitriolic verbal attacks against haredi soldiers, officers and recruiters.
The flyer, however, is very different from materials normally printed and distributed by such groups. Some doubt has surfaced as to whether the flyers were part of the central anti-enlistment campaign because its wording is unlike that of standard pashkavillim, public notices commonly used in the haredi community.
It was also not professionally printed, as are regular pashkavillim and anti-haredi military service materials.
The flyer, titled “A Ruling of Jewish Law,” instructs young haredi men who are drafted into the IDF: “If they take you by force to the army of destruction, it is permitted for you and you must do the following actions: Take the rifle that you received and kill any woman soldier you come across so she merits [the precept of] ‘be killed instead of transgressing.’ Kill any [IDF] commander who holds you [in the army] by force. Kill anyone who drafts or entices or helps [to draft haredi men].”
The notice also said that soldiers should kill themselves in order to fulfill the precept of ‘be killed instead of transgressing,’ which in normative Jewish law applies only to instances in which one must murder, engage in forbidden sexual relationships or commit idolatry.
Police are investigating the source of the pamphlet, which incites to violence.
And the extremists who started all this mess should be ashamed of themselves for what they've led to.
