The natural place for attackers: in prison

The secular media needs to rise above the ultra-Orthodox-secular quarrels and know: The ultra-Orthodox public is represented by members of the Knesset. Not a group of lunatics from Mea Shearim whose natural place is behind bars.

On Friday, an officer was attacked in the Be'Meah She'arim neighborhood by extremists.

This is a horrific and brutal act, which we should all condemn. Although the Haredi MKs were quick to clarify that this was a despicable act, these 'Haredi' from Mea Shearim crossed every line.

Their behavior is nothing less than attempted murder and a terrible blasphemy against God. This is in addition to the fact that they are causing blasphemy against God and hatred against the ultra-Orthodox sector, as if there was no lack of incitement.

The behavior of these savages causes the secular sector to perceive us, the 'regular' Haredim, as a bunch of deranged people, represented by a fanatical and crazy group.

It should be remembered that this group is a delusional group, which in the past also attacked the Grand Rabbi Elyashiv, zt"l, and other great men of Israel.

As a member of the Haredi sector, I would expect the Israel Police to handle this serious case with severity, and to put the group of hooligans who did this in their natural place - behind bars.

The secular media needs to rise above the religious-secular war that exists in this country and not exploit this event to use it as leverage against the ultra-Orthodox public.

Everyone who belongs to the Haredi community agrees that there is a red line that is not crossed, as MK Yaakov Litzman said.

Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri also used harsh words and defined the extremists' action as an "act of terror.".

 Litzman, Gafni, Deri, Margi, and the other ultra-Orthodox members of Knesset are the ones who represent us. They are the face of the ultra-Orthodox sector.

Not a group of lunatics from Mea Shearim.
