Haredi anti-military protestors shouted antisemitic slurs at police in Arabic

If the following news is even half-correct, it makes clear the worst of Haredi clans have gone off the deep end:
Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protests over the contentious draft bill and ongoing arrests of draft dodgers erupted across the center of the country and Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon, blocking traffic and disrupting public order.

The protests follow instructions from Rabbi Zvi Friedman, who, earlier on Thursday, called for protests after a wave of draft dodger arrests.

In Jerusalem, the protest was officially declared a riot by Israel Police, and officers from both Israel Police and Border Police worked to remove protesters from the Bar Ilan intersection.

A police officer and a passerby were both lightly injured after protesters threw stones at officers operating at the scene
, according to Israel Police.

Footage circulating on social media also shows a protester shouting “Itbah al-Yahud,” an Arabic phrase that translates to “kill the Jews,” at officers.
Now that was really crossing the line, and proves that, if the clans these monsters come from could hang PLO flags in their neighborhoods, they're more than fully capable of being self-haters and antisemites too. Such monsters don't belong in the country, period, and above all that, spiritual gurus like the one mentioned have to be arrested and charged with encouraging crimes. These riots also took place around Bnei Brak, and there too it was utterly repulsive.

There is good news though, that these past 2 months saw a record rise in the number of Haredi army recruits, all despite the efforts of the extremists to stop it:
A total of 433 recruits enlisted through designated tracks for the ultra-Orthodox community during the IDF's April-May recruitment cycle, including a record 272 combat soldiers, the military said on Wednesday.

The figure marks an increase of approximately 24 percent compared to the corresponding cycle in the previous enlistment year. The cycle also set a new record in the Hashmonaim Brigade, where 96 combat soldiers are now training, and combat training programs are opening at their largest scale in three years.
The news is also reported here. The only objection I have is to whether they expect sex-segregated accomodations at the expense of lady army officials. That's wrong, and that's something the IDF must prove they can avoid. Other than that, it's good to see there's ultra-Orthodox who're willing to be responsible when it comes to defending the country.
