Chareidim Celebrate Release Of Youth Who Rolled Dumpster On Mother Of 11, Seriously Injuring Her

 

In an absurd display of insensitivity and lack of moral fiber, a group of Chareidim from Meah Shearim celebrated the release from jail of a youth who in 2022 rolled a dumpster down Yechezkel street, trapping a mother of 11 near a wall and seriously injuring her.

Last week the same group celebrated the release from custody of a person who had torched a cellphone store, but on this occasion, they made a reception for Meir Katzav (Known as Kuf due to his young age at the time of his trial).

Katzav participated in a December 2022 demonstration against the draft law, and during the course of the protest rolled a dumpster toward police on Yechezkel street, a steep road bordering Geula. The dumpster missed the police but hit Mrs. Mirel Dzalowski, a 40-year-old mother of 11, pinning her to the wall and seriously injuring her. Dzalowski required long months of complex treatments to recover from her injuries and is still suffering from disabilities due to the incident.

Chareidim did not condemn Katzav’s action and even wrote of him “Happy are you that you were caught for Torah” and said that his incarceration was due to a “Protest for Hashem’s honor.” 

Apparently, those who instigated the protests which led to such violence and nearly cost a life have yet to learn the lesson – that incitement and hatred have no red lines and can lead to tragic consequences.
