Naturi Karta guy gave candy to A Frum IDF Soldier!

In a time when we hear every few days about an ultra-Orthodox attack on an ultra-Orthodox soldier, it is encouraging to hear a story in the opposite direction. 

An ultra-Orthodox Chassid who belonged to Neturei Karta, sat next to an ultra-Orthodox soldier, not only did he not attack him, but praised his contribution and even gave him a Bamba snack as a token of appreciation.

This  soldier rides every day on the bus from an ultra-Orthodox area in Beit Shemesh, and is used to being stared at by the hostile extremists living close to him, and sometimes they even make small demonstrations against him while he waits at the station.

"I got on a bus in uniform," says R. Cohen to  "Kikar Ha'Shabbat"  "and at one of the stations, the man who looked like one of the Naturi Karta sat down next to me and looked at me , I was surprised at all that he was sitting next to me," and "To smile at me - it was strange ..." 

When the ultra-Orthodox soldier went down at the regular station  he noticed that he was following him.

"He approached me," R. continues to describe. "And he said to me, 'You are doing very well  with your service in the army for the sake of Klal Yisroel.'" He asked me where I was serving and even gave me a snack at the Turbo Bamba.I've never tasted such a snack before"

"It's clear to me that he deliberately tried to change the image of the extremists," says R. Cohen. The ultra-Orthodox soldier concludes by saying, "Congratulations to him!"
