Ex Chief Rabbi Rav Yitzchok Yosef Criticizes Bnei-Tora Rioters Calls for their Expulsion from Community but Just 6 Months ago he called for Chareidm to Fight the police

 Former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef also sharply criticized those who participated in the disturbance, calling for them to be expelled from the Haredi community. 

In a statement, Yosef said the rioters had desecrated the name of Heaven and that their conduct did not reflect Torah values. “The ways of the Torah of Israel are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace; there is no place for such behavior among us,” he said, urging that those involved be denounced and cast out from the community.

See this what he said just 6 months ago!👇👇

Aryeh Deri, the chairman of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, condemns today’s mob attack against two female soldiers in Bnei Brak as “entirely contrary to the way of the Torah.” 

He also argues that such behavior harms the Haredi community and its efforts to exempt yeshiva students from military conscription.
