Cellular Phone Store Owners Describe Their Ordeals At Knesset Committee

 

I guess the storekeepers cannot get help from the "Gedoilim" who are on the payroll pf the Chareidie Mafia Gangsters!

Owners of cellphone stores from many chareidi districts in Israel came to the Knesset’s Internal Affairs committee to describe the harassment and violence they are experiencing from elements in the community.

The owner of the Didi Phone store in Bnei Brak, who has suffered from repeated harassment and raucous demonstrations outside his store, described the threats he had received from the self-styled “Rabbinic Committee For Kosher Communications” which demands that he authorize his phones under their auspices.

A member of the committee told him: “Listen, you see me dressed like this but three times I became non-religious and then did Teshuva. There is nobody who doesn’t know me and I have connections with the biggest criminals (citing a name of a well-known crime boss)- you better beware of me and listen to what I tell you to do.”

The owner said that he had feared for his life and complained to police, who were shocked that this particular criminal was involved. The owner stressed that he does not sell non-kosher phones and himself has a kosher phone. He only sells phones with SMS, cameras and players to those who require them but does not sell phones with internet access. Despite this, he was harassed for not accepting the kashrus committee’s authority.

Another store owner from Geula said that he had received threats and that the window of his store had been broken because he refused to purchase phones from the committee. He said that “I can’t sleep at night.”
