Clash of civilizations: Two haredi men were detained in Beit Shemesh Thursday evening on suspicion of hurling stones at non-segregated buses and hurting a police officer.
The ultra-Orthodox men were protesting the detention of their friends in recent days.
The incident began after haredim hurled stones at buses that do not offer segregation between males and females. A police force called to the scene dispersed the rioters and detained two suspects.
A police officer sustained light shoulder wounds during the arrest.
Meanwhile, a haredi man was detained in Jerusalem after cursing at a secular woman walking in the ultra-Orthodox Meah Shearim neighborhood. The man referred to the woman as a "whore" and a "shiksa."
A Jerusalem police force on an undercover patrol in the area witnessed the incident and detained the suspect. During the arrest, a stone was hurled at a police cruiser at the site and damaged it. The suspect was taken in for interrogation.
Please I am begging the rest of the haredi community, descend on these thugs in your community and stop them.
Failure to act in the end will result in the whole haredi world suffering.
