HOLON (VINnews) — Israeli singer Ilana Adani could never have imagined herself being the victim of an anti-Semitic attack in her own hometown of Holon. Adani, who performs in France and other Jewish locations in the diaspora, had heard the accusations that Jews are responsible for the spread of the coronavirus but thought that such conspiracy theories would not influence the Israeli public.

However when she went to her local supermarket in Holon, she was publicly humiliated and told “You from Meah Shearim will kill all of us”. She was stunned and shocked by the insinuation, since she entertains all kinds of women at her shows, is a graduate of Bnei Akiva who did national service, her husband was injured in combat service and her great-grandfather was a Prisoner of Zion. She could not imagine she would be targeted for such criticism and said that “I looked behind me to see whether there was someone there from Meah Shearim.”
Adani said in a Ynet interview that “even if I was from Meah Shearim I should not have to suffer such insults.” Adani added that during the past month she felt that whenever she went out people would move to the opposite sidewalk but this was a far worse experience:
“I just went out with a headcovering to buy wipes. At this moment I am crying and trembling, I never experienced this in such a callous manner. I can’t believe it: Are these the people of my country, my birthplace, for which I gave my heart and soul?….Somebody had to wake up. The end is here already.”
That is why I will NEVER move to Israel before Moshiach tells me to. Such hatred against anyone looking Charedie. Here in the United States I can serve my God without being harassed by my neighbors or my government, regardless of which Party is in power. There is no open hatred from the frei yidden, generally, towards Frum looking Yidden. And there is no hatred from the Frum towards the frei. It’s live and let live. This is a Medina shell Chessed. Secular Israel is a Medina shell hate. Everyone hating on the next guy. Sick sick people. I want no part of it.
Time to leave, make Alyia, to America
There are some Israelis, who just hate and despise frum people; their attitudes have existed long before the present health crisis. One time, in a suburb of Jerusalem, when I boarded a bus, the driver looked at my kippah with a sarcastic grin, as if to state “oh, one of them”. However, a little while later, I boarded a taxi, and the driver who wore a kippah stated that he liked religious people.
This is nothing new. Happening for years
So much hate there
I have experienced it myself – and I look nothing like a meah shear chareidi-
So happy I don’t live there
A place full of sinah
Whenever I hear these pro “living in israel”
People spewing the need for Aliyah and looking down on everyone else I want to explode
A country of disgusting hate filled people
Everyone hated each other
A Lot of Torah scholarship not much else
A cesspool of hate
We all have our stories but there are far more good stories than these. obnoxious behavior which is publicized immediately on the media ruin people’s attitudes- .
yes we have to work on achdus wherever we are -also in USA!!! – but undeniably the aretz has kedushah. and that is our only connection -regardless of the myriad politics out there from all factions -don’t feed into these negativities. we have a lot of work to do but let’s work together.
things like this will continue to get worse….the Israeli public is disgusted with having to support a bunch of welfare kings and queens who do absolutely nothing for the country…the growing Charedi population is the biggest existential threat to Israels existence. A country cant survive if thirty percent of the population contributes nothing and sucks the country dry
Why would anyone be surprised about this incident.
The Torah forbidden state of Israel has all kind of Schmutz and sinners.
There are Millions of Jews in Israel who are not observing Shabbos.
There are Millions of Jews in Israel eating Treifs.
There are Millions of Jews in Israel who have no family purity.
There are Millions of Jews in Israel eating Chometz on Peasach.
Tens of thousands of Jews in Israel who participate in the degenerate gay pride parade.
All and all it is a country just like any country in the world.
And Hashem hates all of it.
And now some of you found out that there are also anti-Semites in Israel.
Yes there is loads of Torah learning as well but it doesn’t Kasher all the sins.
Read all the comments here and tell me who are hateful people.
Hey there, I and many of my freinds made Aliya. I must say that it’s amazing here. We all love it. There is some tuff love here. The news blames alot on the charedi world. Also some chardi people dont really act like humans here( Kaf zchut they dont know better). There are alot of american towns in Israel and have allot great people that are not american here. Either way I would warn every body never speak bad about Israel it’s HASHEM home and for the famous vort that I will come to israel when mashiach comes we wont need then. Come now if any thing that we learned from corana.
To all the anti zionist anti semites who seem to believe they have a hold on G-d’s chosen people.
Stay in America..Bottom line..you are not that important.
Israel will flourish and prosper while you continue to cow tow your temporary hosts.
Israel is G-d’s land, so it is blessed.
You are irrelevant to the history of the Jews.
Contrary to your illusion of self, you are not that important in the grand scheme of things.
