Israeli government employee and olah Esther Fuerster was walking home last night when she was accosted by an exhibitionist, meters from her home.
Posting on Facebook immediately after the ordeal, Fuerster wrote:
“I won't say who this was, whether a Jew, an Arab or a Christian, but on my way home now a religious-looking man turned to me as I approached and opened his trousers presenting his manhood.”
This is not the first time Fuerster has been subjected to such an outrage: “Last time it happened it was six months ago and I ran away, like a small child.”
Fuerster, who describes herself as athletic but slim, had reason to capitulate out of fear once again, but this time, she found strength within herself that can now never be taken away:
“Tonight, I went off course, approached him and smacked him so hard across the face that his glasses flew off and he tumbled down onto a bench.
“He moaned in protest.
“I asked him very loudly and clearly, why did he think that such behavior was acceptable? Why did he think that it was acceptable to flash a stranger? How does he consider himself religious and yet disrespect a woman like this?
“I shook the entire time, but I didn't run this time. I told him to get dressed and go home.”
