The statement appeared to have been prompted by an expose aired on Israel`s top-rated weekend television news about spiralling intra-Jewish friction in Beit Shemesh, a town of about 87,000 people near Jerusalem. Eight-year-old Naama Margolese told Channel Two TV she was terrified of walking to her moderate Orthodox school because of passersby who wanted her “to dress like a Haredi” – the Hebrew term for the ascetic, black-coated Jews who are in “awe” of God. “I`m afraid I might get hurt or something,” the girl said. Margolese`s mother Hadassa, an American immigrant who wore a headscarf and skirt in deference to religious Jewish tradition, said the sidewalk abuse could include spitting, curses like “whores” and “bastards” and calls to “clear out of here”. Channel Two showed a Beit Shemesh street sign ordering women to keep to one side, away from a synagogue. A few ultra-Orthodox men who were interviewed disavowed religiously motivated aggression toward women. Others sought to justify it. Some shunned the TV crew, shouting at the journalists to leave.

Wouldnt one think that jews would have learned from the past? Instead they turn out to be one of the more racist countries we have.
I think it is time a lot of people in the world that are protective over israel because of either guilt of religious reasons wake up and open their eyes for once.Isreal is not the poor victim here ,they are AS BAD as the ones they themselves blaime for just about anything.
This video has to be seen and understood.
The reporters ended being stoned and had some of their material and equipment stolen it seems
EDIT:
(I would have taken more time and make a more eleborate post but i dont have the time right now ,i apologise for that.I just saw this and thought it should receive some attention at least.I managed to watch 3Q of the video but not more but i think it should be seen)

Speaking to a closed forum in Washington on Saturday, Clinton criticized recent legislative attempts in Israel to restrict left-wing organizations and expressed shock over growing discrimination against Israeli women. She mentioned cases of IDF soldiers leaving during performances of female singers and the fact that females sit in the back of buses in certain places in Israel. Clinton said that some of these phenomena reminded her of Iran.
Clashes erupted on Monday between police and several hundred ultra-Orthodox Jews from a town near Jerusalem who are campaigning for men and women to be segregated, an AFP journalist said.
Israeli police had stepped up their patrols in Beit Shemesh following unrest sparked by discrimination against women imposed by a radical fringe of the town's religious Jews.
Several demonstrators were taken in for questioning after police, and journalists were roughed up and insulted by ultra-Orthodox men telling them to "clear off," the journalist said.
But while police could be held responsible for ensuring the public's safety, the broader issue at hand was not a matter for security enforcement, according to Israel's police chief. "It is important to remember that the phenomenon of segregating women is first and foremost a social issue, and therefore the solution to it should not just be from police," Yohanan Danino told members of the Knesset's foreign and defence committee Monday morning.

I was so shocked by this video , the treatment of women an girls, the extreme hatred towards women an girls and the segregation.They were respectfully clothed even the mother covered her head with a headscarf, yet that was not enough.Men wanted them to completely cover themselves from head to foot in clothing even cover there face! If they do not they get spit upon an called names, this is so wrong, jews have alot to answer for .Yet when anything goes wrong for them in other countries they play the "jew card", quoting hitler and how many jews were killed,They forget everyone else that was in that war too that were also killed like the disabled,sick the infirm,polish,homosexuals, political people etc , oh no its just about them, the jews, so we are supposed to feel sorry for them , i think not,making women walk on the other side of the street, im disgusted.Women and girls ahve the same rights on this planet as everyone else, why should jewish men think they are chosen and above the rest, people like this really make me mad.Every human being has the right to behave how they wish ,and dress how they choose, its there life, no matter what race creed or colour, no jewish zealot has the right to torment women and children in the streets,no matter who they are.
