    The Jerusalem Magistrate Court extended his detention until Thursday, against the five-day extension the police sought, according to Channel 10 News out of Israel (http://bit.ly/1PTVhqC).

    Police are still investigating the incident and searching for the other perpetrators involved in the attack.

    On April 24, a large group of ultra-Orthodox residents of the Mea She’arim neighborhood attacked the soldier – who is a platoon commander in the ultra-Orthodox
    religious battalion Givati Battalion – while he was there visiting friends serving in his unit. As he was leaving the home of one of the soldiers, he was attacked with blocks, stones and eggs, and his car was vandalized when attackers smashed the back window.

    The publication of the name of the arrested man will be published May 20 after the judge rejected the request to ban the publication of his name and address.

    Hmm – looks like someone didn’t pay attention when learning Parshas Shemos. “Rasha, Lama Sakeh Rayecha” doesn’t apply apparently to those selflessly defending Klal Yisroel on the front lines. Worse than an Arab. At least the Arabs have no Lav of raising your hand against a Jew.

    These so called frum or orthodox Jews always amaze me. How do they think that they would be able to even stand in Mea Shearim, much less daven or learn there, if it wasn’t for the brave IDF. Throwing stones at any human being doesn’t qualify them to be frum or orthodox. In fact, i’m not sure if they even qualify to be called human beings.

    There’s an illusion among our chareidim that if the Tziyonim never arose, there would not have been a problem with the Arabs. This is shortsighted thinking. The Muslim conflict is not with Tziyonim; it’s with Jews.

    A famous Islamic saying states: Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: Allah’s Apostle said, “You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, ‘O ‘Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'” Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: Narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”

    May all take notice: It nowhere says “there is a Tziyoni or an Israeli hiding behind me. . .” The mental infection bred in the mind of Hitler now spreads like a virus throughout the Arab world. Wake up, chareidim and stop blaming chilonim. The ones intent on vanquishing klal Yisrael make no distinction between either.

    Actually, if wants to fight, he should JOIN THE IDF AND FIGHT THE ENEMY. Really, it’s the rhetoric spewed in the community that gives him courage to do something so despicable.

    As Rav Lau has said, we learned how to die together, now we need to learn how to live together.

    This was an 18 year old punk. But the leaders in the community need to alter what they say and teach. And, sof kol sof, if he is willing to beat someone up, next time it could be the Rav.

    Show an example to all careidim and lock him up for 5 years and destroy his family house. Israel doesn’t need more enemies.
