As for enforcement, there actually is selective enforcement, but against the non-Haredim.

Could you provide links and sources for the Rabbi’s statement? It seems the Rabbi is not up to date on what’s going on outside his own four cubits in Lod.

When the education system is completely shut down, for them everything is allowed to stay open [not criminality, arrangements with… ?]
Across the country people aren’t going out for celebrations and trips during the intermediate days of the holiday, and with the police’s tacit agreement they were allowed [that is, it was agreed there would be disregard] for all the celebrations commemorating the Rejoicing of the Water-Drawing in the courts of the Hasidic rebbes [provided they weren’t documented]. For others, heaven help them. They’ll be fined, etc….
Tam ought to keep updated on what the real situation is on the ground.

It’s not a package deal. If there are fixers that the police are making arrangements with behind the scenes, that should be investigated. I was referring to the way the police conduct themselves against the Haredim when they show up. Imagine that at a left-wing demonstration an officer had brutally hurled a child with mental disorders into a fence, or that a policeman had flung a child on a scooter into an iron pole.

‘Selective enforcement’ operates according to a certain rationale. An improper rationale, but still one with some logic to it. Here, though, we’re dealing with enforcement without a drop of thought.

A modest family wedding is taking place, fewer than 20 people, in the yard of a house. It endangers no one. The only claim is perhaps technical. Maybe they should have coordinated in advance and gotten approval.

And let’s say there really was a violation of the law here—the authorities could send an inspector or a community police officer to write a report with the option of paying a fine or standing trial, as is done with any offense that poses no immediate threat to public safety. Can anyone imagine that if someone built without a permit, police would come and beat him nearly to death?

If the police thought the gathering posed a danger of infection, they would have come in protective suits. But here they arrived in advance with more officers than participants, while the officers themselves were not keeping their distance. In short: ridiculous and stupid behavior.

For what purpose? You need to give the local authority people, who know the people involved and know how to talk to them and how to influence them—gently when needed and firmly when needed—the job, and only in an extreme situation, when there is no choice, do you call in the police. That’s how they brought down infection rates in Safed, Tel Zion, and Kiryat Ye’arim, among other places.

When you act with sense, there’s no need to use force.

Best regards, S.Tz.

And maybe there is logic in the enforcement policy: it is hard to deal with a large protesting public, when there are hundreds or thousands. By contrast, when it’s two Haredi families in a non-Haredi city, it is easy and convenient to be ‘heroes against the weak’ and hand out savage beatings without fear of a mass uprising.

Best regards, S.Tz.

How did this site turn into a public urinal for low-grade Haredi propagandists?

This “Haredi propagandist” of such a low level is a graduate of Merkaz!!!
