A danger of child rapists lurks in Israel, and not just in Haredi communities
A writer at Israel National News sounds an alarm over what should be particularly concerning for right-wingers:
And the reason why this should worry right-wingers, as noted before, is because of the following query:
Back in January 2020, 'The hidden crime of pedophilia' was featured at Israel National News. Its overriding basis exposed a growing, although heretofore silent, threat inside the overall Jewish community - both within Israel and outside its borders. At the same time, embedded analyses zeroed in on an especially vulnerable target: children in Haredi communities.So it's not just Haredi communities who've been penetrated by such evil, but also rich neighborhoods where secularists live. This is absolutely disturbing. And no doubt, the Arabic neighborhoods are plagued with this too.
For well over a decade, youngsters within the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Nachlaot and Sanhedria have been victimized by a ring of pedophiles who infiltrated those neighborhoods. How can this be? In no uncertain terms, this is the most urgent question of all. Yes, law enforcement and the political hierarchy have much to account for.
Still yet, even with said unfathomable 'failure to protect' laid bare, there is a modicum of hope to be found in this agonizing and delicate arena - albeit it exists outside of Israel. As stated within last year's article, strides have been made to tackle this insidious scourge, that is, with the assistance of a particularly courageous individual (alongside others) and a leading communal organization: namely, Rabbi Yossi Jacobson, as well as the Jewish Community Watch
The crime of pedophilia is horrific wherever it surfaces, the wreckage (psychological and physical) left in its wake is incalculable. As such, this abject neglect lands smack at the doorsteps of the powers that be. Discomfiting, but no less true.
Fast forward to the here and now, fourteen months from this writer's previous report at Israel National News, and it has come to the attention of these ears - by way of a seasoned investigator in Jerusalem - that the initial crime of pedophilia plaguing Jerusalem via a network of well-coordinated pedophile rings has spread to communities in the center of the country.
More specifically, certain wealthy enclaves in Tel Aviv are currently caught in the cross-fire. Not only that, Haifa - Israel's unofficial northern 'capital' - joins a growing list of targeted cities. For the record, at this juncture, the homey and welcoming neighborhood of Neve Sha'anan finds itself in the grip of a pedophile ring. Though a mix of families from various levels of observance live harmoniously in this lovely part of Haifa, it is Haredi children who, for the most part, find themselves in danger.
And the reason why this should worry right-wingers, as noted before, is because of the following query:
Where are the voices of right-wing journalists within Israel, regarding this topic of all topics? The children and families deserve no less!The columnist is right. Assuming right-wing journalists aren't doing much to comment on this, they most definitely should, if they want to convince everyone they're realists and believe in vigilance. Fortunately, I for one, as a "citizen journalist", have made the effort whenever possible to write about these issues. But more voices on the right are needed, and they can't hesitate for fear that they'll alienate the Haredi public retaining an insular viewpoint. They have to prove they can be tour-de-force in confronting the issue that's devastating communities, especially those who make the unpardonable error of being insular and uninformed of the outside world. This is a serious issue that needs meat and potatoes coverage from conservative-leaning writers in particular.
