9 Tevet 5786
The Second of Three Fast Days
"Justice, justice, you shall pursue...." (Tzedek, tzedek tirdof) is a prominent Torah mitzvah found in Devarim 16.20. It instructs the Hebrews to establish a just society, emphasizing the active, righteous pursuit of fairness. The phrase is a central theme in Jewish ethics.
Furthermore, it is a condition for the land remaining in our hands: "Justice, justice shall you pursue, that you may live and possess the land the Lord, your God, is giving you."

🚨 DISTURBING FOOTAGE: An Israel Police officer is seen slapping an unarmed young Chareidi teen protester in the face and then choking him repeatedly during a protest that took place on Sunday.
Regardless of one’s views on the protesters or the demonstrations themselves, the fact is, Israeli police do not treat left-wing, secular protesters — who have shut down roads and disrupted the country for years — in a similar manner. Another fact is that incidents involving police brutality against Chareidim NEVER lead to accountability.
YWN notes that two years ago, police in Yerushalayim violently beat a Chareidi child with Down syndrome. No officer was ever held accountable in that case either.
It's a miracle this boy's neck was not broken. The cop looks distinctly Arab. He even pushes the boy up against the fence with his body to prevent another bachur from helping him up!!
The message the police receive from the public is that it is ok to do this to Chareidim. They are just giving vent to the general hatred toward this group, Hashem yerachem!!! 😢

The least all of us can do is join in an outcry to Heaven for justice in these cases.
May his memory be a blessing forever
for all who knew him and the entire Klal Yisrael!!

Sickening, absolutely sickening. The double standard is unbelievable and despicable.

There is no justice in this world. But there is Above. On this we can be certain.
ReplyDeleteNeshama …..thank you very much. Each such video showing the nonjewish venom needs publicising. With all the witnesses the police could be sued over and over again, rephrasing the issue. That guy needs to feel on his body what the bochur suffered!
