The Haredi campaign and attacks against Haredi soldiers are here again: After distributing the new ads in the Haredi neighborhoods of Jerusalem during Passover, yesterday (Tuesday) an Haredi soldier living in Bnei Brak was verbally attacked by a group of extremists.
Baruch Indig, the IDF Radio employee who was attacked, told his friends about what happened on his Facebook page.
""I wanted to tell you something from the heart," he wrote. "A few minutes ago I was standing at the bus stop (wearing a uniform) on Rabbi Akiva Street in Bnei Brak, waiting for the bus to take me home.

• "The Neighborhood's Knockdown" - The Haredi Campaign Goes into Round Two
""Two guys who look like righteous guys - even with beards - approach me and hand me a pamphlet/pashakil that is against the Harediks. While I am perusing what is written, they start shouting at the top of their voices: 'Harediks, get out of our city - you are embarrassing Judaism.'"
""Two things - first, my great shame, that I even lived in such a place that is capable of raising boys who approach a guy like that and humiliate him in front of passersby (and they claim they did this at the request of Rabbi Kanievsky - bullshit). I had tears in my eyes! Tears of humiliation! And what made my heart hurt even more was that other boys joined them and shouted at me.
""This is the first time I have come across such hatred for an ultra-Orthodox soldier (especially in a time like now - the counting of the Omer), and they had a humiliating and disdainful look on their faces!"
""Second thing - when I looked at the leaflet, what was written there? Moral remarks against Haredim? Verses and all that stuff that Haredim (and I excluded myself from the exception) know how to write in Pashkvilim? No! Absolutely not! The title: 'The Neighborhood's Fucker,' and the content itself uses words I remember from third grade... that the Haredim are sick, fast, and have landed, etc.... and what's most strange, at the bottom was a stamp of 'Ha-Dibur Ka-Halacha', bearing a picture of the Chofetz Chaim.
""So I am not the shame of Judaism. You are the shame of the Father in Heaven! You are the ones who humiliate people under the auspices of religion, under the auspices of rabbis, and under the auspices of the Gemara that you study.".
""And you or you who are reading this, you have the right to educate your children not to enlist and to remain in the yeshiva, but please, please, let the alphabet be that they behave like humans and not like animals... that they do not humiliate people on a basis like this.".
"Writing with a broken heart, Baruch Indig.".
The person who revealed the story was the ultra-Orthodox headquarters in Likud.
