By Daphna Berman : Woman beaten on J'lem bus for refusing to move to rear seat
Talkback
Title: Unlawful attack on woman passenger Name: Religious woman City: State: Israel
As a religiously observant woman and Israeli citizen I am horrified at the gross hooliganism and barbarity of the behaviour of the men on a public bus. The running by Egged, for financial profit reasons, of "mehadrin" services does not in any way justify trying to force segregated seating on other routes!! I hope this matter will be taken to the Israeli courts. There are also several other issues in this story of "religious" mens` behaviour not in any way compatible with halacha.
