Founder Rabbi of Nahal Haredi to journalist: "Go away"

Rabbi Yoel Schwartz, founder of Nahal Haredi perhaps considered a moderate representative of the haredi sector, in a strong statement to Israel Radio journalist: "You're not dressed like a Jew, go away from here."

On Thursday near the recruiting office in Jerusalem a support rally was held for the ultra-Orthodox soldiers serving in the army and have been harassed and incitement against them in recent weeks.

"Israeli citizens has the moral obligation to show the orthodox public that the entire general public embraces and strengthens the IDF recruits and national civilian service," it said, "We must not leave the ultra-Orthodox street to be controlled by the opposition to Israel's existence. Demand for equality in service must be accompanied by supporting and standing alongside those voters who clearly drafted despite incitement and vilification campaign being conducted against them and their families.

During the rally appeared Rabbi Yoel Schwartz, co-founder of the Haredi Nahal who collected the Haredi soldiers and moved them a few feet away and explained to them how to behave when haredi people behave derogatorily, or act violently against a haredi soldier.

Naama Mizrahi, reporter at Kol Yisrael, came to hold a conversation between Rabbi Schwartz and Haredi soldiers.

Rabbi Schwartz refused to record the conversation and asked her to walk away. "I do not want you here."

Even when Mizrahi walked away and deposited the microphone in the hands of an orthodox boy it did not help. Rabbi Schwartz shouted towards Mizrahi the following: "I beg your pardon, you're not dressed like a Jew, go away from here."
The words made Mizrahi leave the area after being humiliated in front of everyone around her.

Rabbi Schwartz said in response to B'Chadrei Charedim: "I took the men to a side, away from the location of demonstration, that's my prerogative to ask her to move away. I woman who goes sleeveless is dresses like a non Jewish woman."

Despite the fact that the words hurt Mizrahi, Rabbi Schwartz refused to apologize.
