On Tuesday of this week, a stabbing attack occurred. Did you hear about it? Apparently not. The general news broadcasts, and even those broadcast to the religious public, were all day busy with another attack that happened during the night between Monday and Tuesday.
An unprecedentedly serious attack.
During an attempt by military police officers to arrest (fairly or not, legally or not) a deserter in one of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in Ashdod, the law enforcement officers were attacked with loud growls and stones flying at their heads.
But the highlight, of course, belongs to the defining moment when the "brains in the name of God" turned the police vehicle upside down, with its head on the road and its wheels facing up, like a common cockroach reacting to various poison sprays.
The intoxication of power that seized those engaged in the sacred work at that moment caused pictures to be taken and posted on an online website (by a Gentile, of course), accompanied by rude and loud songs of praise that were heard in the middle of the night on the streets of the city, trampling with great noise the dignity and needs of those sleeping, both infants and adults.
This is a war of commandments, and if a woman of good character is allowed to be severe, how much more so if she is deprived of sleep by a light sleeper?.
The photos, shocking and horrifying in themselves, were taken from every possible angle. But it was impossible to miss the central image, in which the deserter survivor takes a "police selfie.".
To say: He and the captors. Only he is stable and firm, and they, how to say, are upside down. Ah, a living.
The lawmen, stunned and in pain, were forced to call for police reinforcements, only to escape. When they arrived, the excited crowd erupted in a traditional "ahhhh" cry, and accompanied the force with a loud and powerful chant of "Otz Atza Ve Tofer," the advice of the lawmen, and of the hundreds of families on the street who were thinking of a standard night, where they would sleep in order to gather strength for the next day, for Torah and work.
These photos, by the way, were also published in the media. A certificate of pride for a handful of terrorists in the vineyards, and a real certificate of poverty for the Jewish Torah world in all its diversity.
Torah Torah Sack belts.

The truth is, we weren't really surprised. The subtle difference between pulling ponytails and overturning a police car is only in manpower.
If only one terrorist is required to torture animals according to the Torah, then to desecrate the name according to the Torah by destroying a private vehicle requires dozens of healthy animals, mainly in their bodies.
And that's exactly the point.
What exactly was there? Could it be that someone felt threatened, and in the heat of fear and anxiety turned the car over in self-defense? Well, that's fine, but that's not it.
Dozens of seemingly civilized people, who happened to be there only because they were heavy consumers of sick action, joined together in a perfect harmony of destruction and vandalism. They probably counted together from one to three, or perhaps from three to five... - and simply turned around and damaged, without any logical explanation, a police car.
Not in the Kasbah, not in Nablus, not in Jenin, not in the Jabal Mukaber neighborhood, not in the immigrant demonstration against German residents.
Here, in Ashdod, in the heart of a Jewish and ultra-Orthodox community.
May God protect and save.

There is already a repudiation. Is condemnation also needed? Not sure.
The fact that those people belong to the Haredi community has long been no longer a fait accompli that must be dealt with.
The group of desecrators of the name of God removed itself from the Haredi public sphere years ago, due to their contempt for everything holy, their desecration of the name of God, and their depraved attitude towards the extraordinary great men of the generation who live in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem.
Only such a group, capable of opening its mouth against yeshiva heads and rabbis, is capable of trampling the honor of God under the wheels of a car, or more accurately, under the roof of a police car.
If they are not responsible for the honor of the Creator of the world, we are not responsible for their honor, which was lost anyway.
And the sons of Korah did not die.
