2 lady soldiers were attacked by Haredi thugs in Bnei Brak

The extremist ultra-Orthodox 5th columnists continue their post-October 7, 2023 contempt by attacking 2 lady IDF officials in Bnei Brak, where they wanted to visit one of their colleagues:

A police unit rescued several IDF servicewomen in Bnei Brak on Sunday afternoon after they were attacked by an angry mob.

The incident involved two commanders from the Education Corps serving at the Havat HaShomer base who had arrived for a home visit to one of their soldiers. The crowd believed they were Military Police servicemembers who had come to distribute draft orders.

During the incident, a group of haredi bystanders gathered, shouting “Nazis," and tried to approach the soldiers. According to reports, there were attempts to physically attack them. In addition, a police motorbike was set on fire, and the mob overturned a police vehicle.

Police forces were called to the scene and safely extracted the servicewomen. At least three officers were injured in the riots. So far, 23 arrests have been made.

The police updated that two female soldiers had arrived to conduct welfare activities as part of their service in the IDF. Police forces rescued the soldiers, while some of the troublemakers began confronting officers and throwing trash bins into the path of the police vehicle.

As some politicians noted, this crossed every line most severely. Here's more:

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir spoke on Sunday with the two female commanders who were attacked earlier in the day during a mission in Bnei Brak and inquired about their well-being.

“I asked to speak with you to tell you that the IDF and I stand fully and clearly behind you. No one is permitted to harm your dignity or interfere with the important mission you are carrying out. You represent the entire IDF, and you have my full backing and that of the entire IDF," Zamir told the soldiers.

He pledged that the IDF "will investigate the incident to ensure it does not happen again. A reality in which IDF soldiers - male or female - cannot move freely within the State of Israel is an intolerable reality that must be addressed."

What the ultra-Orthodox monsters did was similar in some ways to the situation with Islamofascists in Europe, where they created no-go zones for non-Muslims, Jews included. It's abominable, and can make it considerably harder to undo the damage those who facilitated the Religion of Peace's entrance into Europe caused. Interestingly enough, here's a writer who made an important point about why what's happened long after October 7, 2023 is so offensive:

If a rabbi repeatedly describes the army as a machine of spiritual destruction, he cannot wash his hands when his students treat its soldiers as enemies. Words create worlds. Halachic rhetoric shapes moral reflexes. When you delegitimize an institution that defends Jewish lives, you are playing with fire in a house filled with gasoline.

Yes, there are real tensions between Haredi society and the State. Yes, there are coercive policies that feel threatening. Yes, there is cultural arrogance on all sides. But riots against female soldiers are not a defense of Torah. They are a chilul Hashem of epic proportions.

What does it say to the broader Israeli public when black-hatted Jews scream at Jewish girls in uniform? What does it do to the fragile threads holding our people together after October 7? Do you think secular Israelis distinguish between “fringe extremists” and the rabbis who have spent decades depicting the army as a spiritual plague?

It's good to see the writer's made mention of 10.7.2023, because what the rioters and vandals in Bnei Brak did only adds injury to injury. The rioters who were arrested should face serious penalties based on that alone.
