The elections in Beit Shemesh are for the Mayor and the city council. The present mayor is Dr. Aliza Bloch. Chareidim are fighting amongst themselves on who to endorse, none of them are endorsing Bloch because she cannot be bought and she wears a dress.
They need someone who meets the criteria of promising shekels to their Torah moisid, and only those who meet this qualification will get their endorsement.
Tonight Degel shelepped out Rabbi Landau from his bed in Bnei Brak and brought him kicking and screaming to Beit Shemesh to officially endorse a guy who calls himself Greenberg! Why someone will listen to the advice of someone from Bnei Brak, is anyone's guess!
To make sure that Greenberg goes nowhere, Arye Deri of Shas, who doesn't live in Beit Shemesh but lives in Har Nof took Moshe Abutbul, now an MK in the Knesset, from mothballs, was "mechye meisim" him; he was the previous mayor who singlehandedly literally destroyed Beit Shemesh, (and who lost the last mayoral election to Bloch,) and made him run for mayor again, against Aliza Bloch and this Greenberg character.
Now, Deri knows that Abutbul's chances of becoming Mayor is the same as a snowball in hell, but he threw the "abutbul wrench" in so that Greenberg endorsed by Viznitz and Belz (Yes, Visnitz from Bnei-Brak, and Belz from Yerushalyim) loses. Deri being a Sfardie, hates Chassidim.
Aye.... this move will split the Chareidie vote which would give Dr Bloch a chance of winning, they don't care .... as Shimshon (Who is buried on top of Ikea, yes.. ironically in Beit Shemesh) said before his demise ..תמות נפשי עם פלישתים
The Shaar Habitachon writes that one must do השתדלות; the Shas faction seemingly learns this sefer and so they strongly believe that one has to do "histadlus" so what better way to do "hishtadlus" than beating the crap out of soldiers that put their very lives on the line to protect those very Chareidim, and who want to vote. So the Shas faction went and destroyed the "portable polling places" and stole the ballots, all in front of children who were looking on watching as Bnei- Torah with Tzizes flying, beat the hell out of the soldiers trying to vote, destroying property and stealing ballots. All this happened in Ramat Alef in the "mercaz" not in the extremist area of Beit Shemesh Bet but in the "peaceful" Anglo area! זו תורה וזו שכרה
אימה בקלפי הנודד ברמה א׳: פעילי אבוטבול התפרעו והיכו באלימות לוחם צה״ל
לאחר שהשחיתו שלטי בחירות בליל אמש - פעילים של משה אבוטבול התפרעו הערב באלימות ב״קלפי הנודד״ של אתר ׳המחדש׳ שהגיע למרכז המסחרי ברמת בית שמש א׳.
המתפרעים הגיעו עם שלטי ש״ס ואבוטבול, גנבו את פתקי ההצבעה של הקלפי הנודד ואמרו שצריך להצביע רק לש״ס ואבוטבול.
בהמשך החלו לפעול באלימות נגד איש הדיגיטל החרדי ולוחם צה"ל אברומי לינשה, שצילם את הראיון של מוטי לייטנר, יו״ר הרשימה הכלל חרדית ׳דרך׳. בנס האירוע הסתיים ללא פצועים.
Inexcusable. Two points:
ReplyDelete1. No need to disparage Rav Landau. He is free to endorse candidates.
2. The fact that the victim was in the IDF doesn’t seem relevant. He wasn’t in uniform and he wasn’t being attacked for being a soldier. In all likelihood the guys doing the shoving were also in the IDF.

ReplyDeleteFirst to make clear, I was there myself.
The Shas guys who attacked the soldiers knew they were soldiers because only soldiers could vote. Of course, the soldiers shoved back, why not? I'm glad the soldiers didn't take any crap from the Shas bullies and punched back, but that was not the gist of my story, the story was that Shas Tzaddikim disturbed the voting in a democratic country, damaged the voting booths and stole the ballots.
With all due respect to Rabbi Landau he should be sitting home eating bebbelich, he shouldn't be telling us in Beit Shemesh who to vote for, we in Beit Shemesh don't tell him who to vote for!Beit Shemesh is a huge city with close to 200,000 residents we don't need carpetbaggers or outside rabbis endorsing and mixing into our politics.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify.

ReplyDeleteI am sick and tired of "righteous" people like you lecturing us about Rabbi Landau. Rabbi Landau is now the cause of machlokas and pirud in Klall Yisrael. By endorsing candidates in cities where he doesn't live and his followers calling his endorsements "Daas Torah" is the direct cause of people starting to hate our "gedoilim" and our Talmeidei Chachamim.
If he chose to get into the kitchen so to speak to endorse candidates of a city where others live then he should be able to take the heat.
I’m the righteous guy. I don’t mind if you disagree with his politics. I just don’t think the ad hominem is necessary.
DeleteThe last couple comments were the original purpose of Zionism in a nutshell.Mission accomplished.

ReplyDeleteSpoken by a guy who hears the truth but has nothing to answer so he blames the Zionists.
Thank G-d for the Zionists we have an army so if G-d Forbid we go down we can bring our enemies down with us, just like Shimshon Hagibor did.
