These cases are added to the decision of the Tel Aviv municipality not to hold Yom Kippur prayers with a partition in Dizengoff Square, which until recently, just a few kilometers from there, a Muslim congregation was held during Eid al-Adha, with men sitting separately from the women. Their desire to appear humane in the eyes of the world stops when it comes to Jews with a kippah. A secular girl named Noa Kadmon, who opposes the municipality's decision regarding Yom Kippur, tried to explain this about the Muslim congregation yesterday (Tuesday) in one of the studios, but the "Abundance of Light" panel ignored the symmetry that did not take place.
In Yesh Atid's response to Srugim's questioning, they gently condemned the attack. According to their statement: "We are against any act of violence and condemn all forms of violence regardless of who it is directed towards." I wonder what would have happened if it had been a Reform rabbi; in my estimation, all the left-wing shofars would have risen and thrown slogans about harming relations between Israel and American Jews.
Some of them might have even illuminated the Statue of Liberty in demonstrations against apartheid among Jews in order to embarrass Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is currently working for the security of that ungrateful crowd. The cynicism is that the same crowd that attacked Rabbi Yigal carried the flags of Israel, yes, the same symbol that is being carried today in places where Jews with beards were murdered. Irony lives on.
These incidents, along with the past nine months, demonstrate that the protest against the judicial reform is not at the forefront of the minds of some individuals. Instead, it is merely a tool in their hands to prevent the promotion of Judaism in the Holy Land. Attacking a rabbi is seen as a legitimate and perhaps even holy step in their eyes, all in the name of "liberalism," "enlightenment," and "democracy."
