Tel-Chai Nation

Ruthie Blum's addressed the terrible incident in the past week, where leftist anti-judicial reform demonstrators gathered around a hair salon where Sara Netanyahu was getting her hair styled, leading to a situation where she was stuck there for nearly 3 hours until police could get her out:

It's not clear which is worse – the siege on the salon where Sara Netanyahu was having her hair done, or the response to it by the self-described "cream of the crop" and "salt of the earth" of Israeli society. But at least the travesty served as additional evidence, in case anyone still harbored doubts about it, that the ongoing demonstrations are not about "saving democracy."

The incident in question took place in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening. When protesters – who had spent the well-organized "Day of National Disruption" stomping around, blocking traffic and clashing with police – heard that Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu's wife was at a beauty parlor in the area, they headed for and gathered outside the establishment.

"The country's on fire and Sara's getting a haircut," some of them chanted in rhyming Hebrew. "May your ends burn," others shouted, implying her responsibility for Sunday's arson attack on the Palestinian village of Hawara. The vigilantism was in revenge for the cold-blooded murder of Hallel and Yagel Yaniv, two brothers from the neighboring Jewish community of Har Bracha.

That Netanyahu condemned the assault and implored Israelis not to take the law into their own hands was of no interest to his detractors. They were too busy distorting the content of his televised prime-time address, which coincided with the holing up of his spouse with her stylist for some three hours, until she was ushered out by uniformed officers.

You can read more, but it's clear the people who did this are people who don't belong in civilized society, are rude and abusive, to say nothing short of obnoxious, and that's exactly why nobody should even be employing them in jobs. Just absolutely repellent what they led to, and it's to be hoped Mrs. Netanyahu is okay.
