Singer Amir Benayoun uploaded a protest song against ultra-Orthodox hatred to his Facebook page.
""I am neither Haredi nor a Haredi son, and in my worldview I disagree with some of the Haredi way," he wrote. "But we forgot that these are brothers, a significant number of whom truly love the Torah, and it is everything to them. As a Jew, the issue of brotherly hatred hurts me, and nothing more.
I know that we are in a time when the Haredim have become, in the eyes of many citizens of the country, a "muktzeh," but for me, there is no muktzeh Jew.
That's why I wrote a song that speaks to my pain and that of many ultra-Orthodox Jewish children. In this way, I express my humble protest against the hatred of black hats.
Thank you and Happy Shabbat,
"Amir""
