Member of Knesset Meir Porush of the United Torah Judaism party launched a sharp attack on the Israel Police on Thursday, accusing them of selective enforcement and brutal violence against the Haredi public. Porush claimed that the police do not respect the right to protest for the Haredi community and choose to use excessive force during protests they do not favor.
He drew a stark contrast between the police's handling of protests in Tel Aviv and their approach to Haredi protests, particularly in Bnei Brak. Porush stated that while protests in Tel Aviv's Kaplan Street allow for rioting and arson without interference, Haredim in Bnei Brak are treated "like subhumans."
Porush described this disparity as indicative of "two states" in law enforcement, noting the short distance between Geha Road and Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv. He asserted that Tel Aviv is a state where one can "ignite and riot freely," while Bnei Brak is a state where Haredim are treated inhumanely.
