In the very midst of a difficult war, when the home front is absorbing blows and Israeli citizens — time after time, day after day — are seeking sanctuary from Iranian missiles in protected areas and shelters, the High Court continues to persecute chareidim as if all was well and normal. This selfsame dictatorial body began a dissertation against the government under the title "contempt of the court," all this because the government was not doing enough to harass Torah students.
The retort of the Secretary of State, that the various organs of law enforcement have other problems to deal with in these days of a difficult war, and lack the time to contend with the topic of chareidim was not sufficient to appease the learned judges, in whose view, the persecution of chareidim and their imprisonment, and the abuse of them and their children, is at the very crux of their central agenda and supersedes all wartime activities.
What will the High Court do if the government persists in ignoring its demands to hound the chareidim? Will it issue an arrest warrant to the Prime Minister, the Security Minister or to the National Security Minister, or to the Police Commissioner on the grounds that they refuse to do anything against the chareidim like bursting into the yeshiva halls in order to arrest thousands of students and put them behind bars?
In general, the High Court's demand of the police to arbitrarily arrest yeshiva students and transfer them to the jurisdiction of the military police is an altogether anti-democratic demand. That horde of white-collar-and-tie dictators firmly believe that Torah students should be arrested for the 'crime' of studying Torah because of equality under the law.
In a normal progressive country, there is no discrimination between one criminal and another, and it is inconceivable that the arrests be carried out in such an arbitrary manner to begin with. It would be necessary to deflect entire army divisions, carrying out vital maneuvers in Gaza or Lebanon, and redirect them to yeshiva halls in order to arrest all of those within their walls down to the very last one. The prisons which were emptied out several months ago from thousands of security prisoners could accommodate the masses of these dangerous 'criminals.' And if there be a lack of space, many of small-time criminals of various types such as thieves, extortioners, tax evaders and perhaps even dangerous murderers, could be released in order to make room for the heavy criminals of the yeshiva world.
Anti-Semitism does only begin from the unharnessed press but from the very judicial system which has established its goal to trample under the very basic values of the underpinnings of a Jewish state, under the mask of fabricated and fictitious law and order, lacking all legal authority, and surely with no Jewish ethical basis.
