The woman was dragged off the bus and humiliated by police, who later claimed that she had attacked a policewoman and pulled off her mask. Police released a clip in which the woman says: “I’ll kill you. You are always targeting Chareidim. Why don’t you go to the secular and the Arabs?” However there is no proof of the woman attacking police in the clip.
Journalist Ariel Elharar tweeted: “Just think that this woman could be anyone’s mother. To arrest and shame her in front of everyone is a lowly and improper act, especially if the arrest was for not wearing a mask.”
רק תחשבו שאותה אישה יכולה להיות אמא של כל אחד מאיתנו, לעצור ולבייש אותה על יד כולם זה לא ראוי ומעשה שפל, במיוחד שעל פי עדי ראייה המעצר הוא על אי עטיית מסכה, בושה.

Chareidi woman publicly arrested for not identifying herself
She could have prevented the problem by wearing a mask.
Why did she choose to make a chilul Hashem?
She doesn’t wear a mask while everyone else is. Whats she thinking?
Instead of simply say I’m sorry and putting it on she resists. When they tyry to arrest her again she resists as hard as she can. If she would have been a mentch all of this wouldn’t have happened.
They weren’t attacking a chareidi woman; they were attacking a nut case.
It isn’t clear what led up to this. Clearly, she was wearing a mask. As to identifying herself, hard to tell why they singled her out.
She doesn’t wear a mask. She refuses to identify herself to the police as required by Israeli law. Then she refuses to go along with arrest.
What did she expect?
Whether you’re right or wrong resisting ends up being manhandled that way what’s the point of resisting if you feel that you were right bring it up with the authorities if you will not get anywhere it is what it is by resisting it will turn out this type of situation
The only clear chillul Hashem in this video is a Jewish man cursing Jews by saying their names should be erased. Whoa to a man dressed in religious garb bringing curses on himself as we know that those who curse others are asking God to curse themselves. Imagine the number of worlds that this misguided Jew could cause God Almighty to snuff out because he thinks he’s supposed to scream yimach sh’mum at toward them. It’s quite stupid and funny that he thinks calling people Zionists is going to bother them. He himself is living in what he calls a Zionist country. Why doesn’t he wait for Moishiach Tzidkeinu? He’s participating with the Zionists in building the modern state of Israel. What an incredible hypocrite.
If one did look at the video she was wearing a mask, it was red. Seems like something else, she did not do or did do.
Personally if the police ask you for identification, what is the problem to give it to them. Secondly, if you do not happen to have the ID with you, so tell them that you are sorry but you did not bring it with you. But to fight with police is a loosing battle and chilul haShem.
One thing is for sure, you will never win the mask argument if its by force. Dragging a charedi women (yes optics matter) off a bus , only results in greater resentment and more civil disobedience. Its a similar debate to the Cuomo vs Muprhey approach. If you try to shove rules down masses throats they won’t oblige. If you work with communities even if they don’t follow guidelines to the T or as much as you’d like at least they follow something.
I should mention that policeman not only been targeting chareidim but chilonim too. There are countless of videos of chilonim getting arrested for mask violation too. Its not the mask issue here it’s the fact she refused to identify herself which by Israeli law you must if you are asked too many chilonim do the same thing and its no wonder it will end up in an arrest. Atracking a police officer will only make things worse and once you get arrested you can easily end up.with a court order a criminal record or a court conviction. Is it really worth fighting with the police. Think about the future. Her arrest was not so bad i have seen worse done to non religious. Count your blessings.. Oh and one last thing. Once you get arrested and get taken to the police station they will put you in a holding cell until you identify yourself. They will not release you. Its kind of emotional pressure. So either way you will get the fine. It’s up to you how you choose to do it. And even if you don’t have id on you. They will ask for your id no.
