מכות רצח בהלויית הגאב"ד הגרי"ט וייס זצ"ל, בין הקיצוניים למתונים בחוגי הקנאים, בעת הספדו של הראב"ד הגר"מ שטרנבוך שנחשב למתון, אשר גורמים קיצוניים מנסים לסכל את מינויו כגאב"ד הבא של העדה החרדית. pic.twitter.com/etHelbZUvQ

So the civil war within the Eida Hachareidis continues unabated and inevitably spilled into the levaye itself.
As we explained yesterday, R' Moshe Shterbuch Shlitah who is the current Raavad of the Extremists Eida Hachareidis ruled that a certain site in Beit Shemesh was free from any Jewish bones after giving the site a thorough inspection and allowed the developer to build a beautiful development in Ramat Avraham. The Asra Kadisha was livid with this ruling, not because they found Jewish bones. No.... they were upset because the developer refused to give into extortion and instead gave the Asra Kadisha Mafia the middle finger.
They were able to convince the old feeble and weak Gaavad, R' Tuvia Weiss z"l to rule that this was graves of Jews that died there some 3,000 years ago. And he put a "fatwa" against building there without having ever set foot in the area.
To bolster and strengthen their position the Weiss Extremist started physically harassing Rav Shternbuch and bombarding him with fresh raw eggs and shouting "YM"S" "Sheigatz." Then they took some lessons from Krystal Nacht, stealing Rav Shternbuch's sefarim from nearby shuls and burned them in a huge bonfire in front of his home, they even had their Satmar colleagues harass R' Shternbuch when he visited Williamsburg. And like the Gestapo they went to Golobnezitz's home in Har Nof and when Mrs Golobnezitz opened the door, they beat her to a pulp.
A reader let me know that R' Chaim Kanievski had also ruled that they could build on the site.
This harassment campaign continues to this day even after the late R' Weiss begged them to stop.
At the levaya, when R' Shternbuch made the hespid, the Weiss followers started screaming and shouting trying to embarrass R' Shterbuch shlita, which triggered a physical battle. This continued for a good 10 minutes.
The Weiss faction of the Eida Hachreidis are fearful that Askanim will appoint Rav Shternbuch as "Gaavad" I guess a step up from being Raavad. That would be the natural thing to do, because if they brought an outsider to fill that position, the Shernbuch faction would be outraged. If this should happen, the Eida Hachreidis would be permanently split, G-d Forbid.
I wish them both Hatzlacha!

If they would put themselves in the shakla vetariah of the Gemara they wouldn't fight with each other. They have a lot of energy and don't know how to use it properly.
That obviously isn’t doing the trick
More like they need to get jobs and serve in the army
Chasidim have always been mostly uncultured primitives. That was, after all, the Besht's target audience. He though he could bring them under kanfei HaSechinah and that this would civilize them. Instead, now they're barbarians in fancy outfits instead of simple shtetel clothes.
Rav Sternbuch wants to quit every time the hooligans attack him but then Zalmi Teitelbaum promises he will bring them under control - until the next time they go ape.
