    Israeli police: Extremist Jews attack woman

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say a group of ultra-Orthodox extremists have attacked a woman who was putting up posters in a troubled town near Jerusalem.

    Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says about a dozen ultra-Orthodox men in the town of Beit Shemesh surrounded the woman on Tuesday, pelted her with stones and slashed her car's tires. He says the woman suffered minor injuries.

    Rosenfeld says it's not clear why she was targeted. The woman was putting up posters for Israel's national lottery at the time.

    Beit Shemesh has experienced sharp tensions between ultra-Orthodox extremists and its remaining secular and modern Orthodox Jewish residents. The recent case of an 8-year-old girl who was afraid to walk to school because extremists spat on her and cursed her attracted international attention.

      Make these ultra-O's serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. If they won't serve their country 7 days a week shoot them for desertion.

      (Heaves a heavy sigh) Now if there was the same moral outrage over these same exact dealings and much, much worse that the illegal squatters and IOF subject the occupied Palestinians to on a daily basis, then their ethnic cleansing and genocide would come to an abrupt end.

      Let the jews eliminate their own extremism,and their zealots, then they can be helped if needed, and just like the musslims, they should eliminate their own extreme radicals, and zealots leadership,and let the word change their view about them, and at the same time gain some respect from everyone else. Is understood that it takes sacrifices, but the end justifies the ways.

      Are these the same people who scream to the heavens about mistreatment by the Nazis? So, it's okay when they dish it out.

      Extremists from any walk of life or Religion are never a good thing. An open mind is a free mind.

      Being a Jew, I find that these individuals are as reprehensive as neo nazis in their
      actions and ideals. One minded desire to drive all others into your niche, or
      belittle and destroy them if they refuse, is generally what the nazis did to ALL who
      opposed them, but it would begin with spitting and property destruction.

      Do any of these fools stop hating and tweeting long enough to read a history book
      or question a Holocaust survivor to obtain some reason and balance? No. Obviously
      not. One would wonder how many of them are actually university students and thus
      supposedly EDUCATED. What would they do if secular Jews spat on and assaulted
      THEIR women.....probably nothing, as real men never harm women or children,
      They protect them with their lives. These are not real men.

      Jackson...more like sick! These people should go to jail for a very long time. Hatred and extremism is not acceptable even on and especially on religious grounds! These b******* chose women and little girls as their targets they don't even have the guts to approach a man.
      I'm Jewish and this makes me sick and very angry.

      These thugs need to be jailed for a very long time. Make an example of them to show that they do not own the country of Israel, that they must learn to co-exist with others who may not think precisely as they do, but who have just as much right to live their lives as they see fit (and whose tax dollars are supporting all those lifelong rabbinical "scholars" among the Ultra-Orthodox whose only hobs seem to be reading the Torah and procreating). There's no difference between these ultra-Ortho's and radical Muslims.

        Yes, you are right!...there is no difference between these ultra-orthodox jews and radical muslims...same as a american terrorist and muslim terrorist...they all must be punished

      Religious fundamentalists, regardless of the particular religion, are often fanatics, so certain that they know the mind of God that they seldom hesitate to impose their own view of moral conduct on others.

      Those people that attacked the girl are just idiots. If your angry go after the ADULTS who influenced the child to do that. Also, men and women are EQUAL, if you think that women should be treated that way then so should men. ANY man who thinks he is better than a woman just because he is a man is an absolute idiot. And your religion has nothing to do with it.

      Extremism of any ilk is bad, as this shows. Perhaps the lady should take advantage of Israels liberal gun ownership laws and protect herself from these animals.

      How is this different from Sharia Law?
      • A Yahoo! User 4 mths ago
        It is no different from Sharia Law, and the People of the World should be shown this extremism. the Muslims have Sharia, Jews have there own version and it isnt just a small minority it is official Likud Policy and given half a chance the extreme Right Christian Fundamentalists would do their own version, given half a chace, remember that some of the Republican Candidates this time around have advocated changes to the constitution to allow abortion law changes and a number of other changes to the constitution in relation to religion. Their arguement is we want to obey the constitution so we will change the constitution to suit the way we want the law!
