State attorney outlaws haredi protests outside homes of IDF officials
Because of all the disturbances, mayhem and other crimes the anti-military extremists have led to, the legal system's decided to ban all haredi moonbats from demonstrating outside army officers' residences:
The State Attorney has informed Chief of Police Roni Alsheich he is entitled to ban protests by extremist haredi activists outside the private houses of IDF personnel.Now that is really disturbing the peace, to say nothing of law-breaking, and setting a most vulgar example. Indeed, nobody should have to put up with that kind of selfish crap.
The letter was issued on Monday against a background of a vitriolic and often violent campaigns by radicals from the haredi community against haredi men who enlist in the IDF and IDF personnel involved in attracting recruits from the ultra-Orthodox community.
Extremists have in particular staged numerous protests outside the private residences of army personnel heading haredi recruitment. Some military personnel subsequently received death threats.
According to State Attorney Shai Nitzan and Deputy Attorney General Raz Nazri, there is no reason under the statutes dealing with freedom of assembly to allow protests outside private residences of public servants, when protestors could instead demonstrate outside their place of work.
Therefore permits should not be issued for protests to be held outside the houses of haredi IDF soldiers and recruiters, and police should disperse any protesters who do show up at these sites, the letter said.
The letter referenced three men in particular whose homes have been the site of numerous demonstrations: Major Yaakov Raashi in Beit Shemesh; head of haredi recruitment in the IDF Rabbi Menachem Katz in Bnei Brak; and Kiryat Gat municipal chief Rabbi Moshe Havlin who, together with his wife, was physically assaulted by extremists who broke into their home.
Nitzan said that at times dozens and even hundreds of demonstrators gather outside military personnels' residences without a permit, frequently shouting and cursing, sometimes in the middle of the night.
