Tension in Beit Shemesh: "blood will be spilled"

Beit Shemesh is burning: there is tension in the planned demonstration for today (Tuesday), opposite the Beit Shemesh municipality by supporters of secular candidate Eli Cohen, against the ultra-Orthodox candidate elected - Moshe Abutbul.

MK Miri Regev hitched a ride on the demonstration and promised participation and in the meantime incitement against the ultra-Orthodox public is getting worse. According to one of claims three Lithuanian yeshiva students were beaten, when they passed on Monday next to the Water tower in the city. Police have not received any complaints about it.

"This past weekend ," says the publicity Noham Barzesky - who accompanied Moshe Abutbul during the election period - "we have been exposed to hatred incited hundreds of drivers who sowed fear of ultra-Orthodox streets shouting 'Go to Gaza', while Haredi extremists are reserved . This proves how much Beit Shemesh was saved from something bad, someone who can't lose with dignity, something that would excruciate the whole sector, and basically kicking the entire population.

"We all remember the spitting incident in Beit Shemesh, which incited against the ultra-Orthodox, and now again we suffer curses, insults, curses and beatings and police did not lift a finger. On Election day , the police used force, any attempt of taking loudspeakers into the streets, but here daredevils are walking around with amplifiers and speakers, inciting against us and call on the public not to remain silent on 'city theft' from their hands , and other vilest insults and police are silent, more blood may be spilled here."

' They stole the city '

Also the media publicist Shmuel Pappenheim, a resident of Beit Shemesh , tells of a number of rumors heard about learners who have passed on Sderot Eshkol , near the Orthodox area , and absorbed throwing stones , but police so far have not received any complaint.

"MDA, where I volunteer," he says," no reports of any injuries, so I do not know if all the above is true, and it is clear that someone wants to stir things up .

"The residents know very well that new elections at problematic polls can take action against them and place the second representative of the Orthodox faction koach and become a majority in the Council. Their mayor, they will not receive - no matter what," he says.

"More than the incitement directed against the ultra-Orthodox ," says photographer Yaakov Lederman , " is directed against Belaish . They nicknames the ultra-Orthodox using signs of incitement, indecent descriptions such as" I am a Zionist, you are a weirdo."

" Moshe Abutbul they simply called 'thief', as he 'stole the city' in their opinion, but Belaish they called 'traitor.' No less. I know firsthand that his wife received threats on her life and family life."
