Hasidic IDF Soldier’s Home Smeared With Feces – By Fellow Hasidim Upset That He Joined The IDF

While unique in its grotesqueness, it is but the most recent in a long line of attacks on IDF soldiers, including beatings and stonings, carried out by vehemently anti-Zionist haredim.



Haredim apparently linked to the vehemently anti-Zionist Edah Haredit haredi umbrella organization attacked the home of a haredi IDF soldier in Beit Shemesh Tuesday, smearing feces on the front door and hanging a sign that read, "Hardakim out!" [“haredi vermin out;” derived from the acronym for “haredim kalei da'at” (weak-minded haredim); a term coined by anti-Zionist haredim to describe haredim who serve in the IDF].



According to a report in Arutz Sheva based on a report by the the haredi Kol Beramah Radio, the soldier is a member of an anti-Zionist hasidic sect who enlisted in the IDF anyway and who now serves in IDF intelligence.



After initial reluctance by the IDF to allow it, haredi soldiers who fear attacks by fellow haredim are allowed to travel home from his base in civilian clothing to help protect them, and this IDF soldier did so. But the fact that he had enlisted in the IDF was somehow discovered by members of his sect, who have been targeting him ever since. They want to force the soldier to leave Beit Shemesh and move far away from their supposedly pure community.



The soldier filed a criminal complaint with the police over the latest attack, and police – who almost never make arrests in these cases, even when actual physical violence took place and even when perpetrators are known – have reportedly opened a criminal investigation.
