Dave Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Four haredi Jews assault Armenian priest in J'lem An Armenian priest was assaulted in Jerusalem's old city Thursday afternoon by four Jewish assailants, police said. The four haredi attackers, who spit on the priest, were arrested on the scene by police who were summoned to the area. The four suspects also scuffled with an Israeli security guard who tried to detain them before police arrived. The priest did not require medical treatment in the incident, which took place in the Armenian quarter of the old city. The attack was the second such incident in the last six months. Can anyone tell me what a haredi jew is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Can anyone tell me what a haredi jew is? The kind of Jew you don't want to meet in a dark alley. They are the hip Jews with the felt hat, black trenchcoat and curly locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) The kind of Jew you don't want to meet in a dark alley. They are the hip Jews with the felt hat, black trenchcoat and curly locks. style_images/master/snapback.png The ones you describe are better known as "hasidic". BTW. Hasid/hasad is also used in Arabic to mean "jealous/y". They are the ones referred to as "zealots/nakhantsavor" in the Bible. I did not know this and it is the first time I hear about it, but it seems "haredi" is another faction not too different from the above. A simple search will result in hundreds of sites. Here is one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haredi They both reject the secular state of Israel. They are still waiting for the "Second Comings" who will establish a a theocracy. Which brings to mind. Whoever labeled Israel as a democracy? It is a tehocracy, i.e. Jewland for Jews only. Another thing. It always tickles my side when Christians talk about the "Second Coming". Why is the "first" not enough? Plus the phenomenon is a uniquely Jewish concept as they were disappointed by the "first" messenger of love, peace and forgiveness. Their idea of the messiah is totally opposite of that, i.e hate, war and revenge. We got our messiah, let them wait! Pox on both of their houses!!

Vayri7X Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 A little history on Armenians in Jerusalem and Palestine from G. Hintlian: Excerpts: "In 1922, when Armenians were evacuated from the towns of Southern Turkey (Cilicia) as a result of Mustapha Kemal’s offensive, some ships of evacuees reached the Palestinian coast, especially Haifa. The British authorities barred their entry. But when Arab notables of Palestine protested, they were allowed to disembark. The Arab village chief of Sheikh Breik offered free land to the Armenian refugees, who established the village of Athlit near Haifa. By 1925, there were 15,000 Armenians in Palestine, residing mainly in Haifa, Jaffa, and Jerusalem."}} The War in 1948, however, caused major dislocations. Overnight the Armenian communities of Jaffa and Haifa, numbering 10,000, were reduced to a mere 1,000 people. In West Jerusalem, several hundred Armenian families also lost their homes and businesses. They all flocked to the Armenian Quarter. Suddenly, the monastic authorities had to provide for the needs of 4,000 refugees. Before 1948, the Armenian Community in Palestine numbered 15,000. Far from emigrating, many Armenians were moving to Palestine from neighbouring countries like Lebanon and Syria. After 1948, the pattern was reversed. Some Armenians from Haifa and Jaffa took refuge in Beirut and Amman, hoping to return in a short time, while others came to stay with their relatives in Jerusalem. Subsequently, many moved to Amman, Beirut, and Kuwait for employment. Then, in the early 1960’s, emigration shifted to Canada, the United States, and Australia. After 1967, emigration accelerated, this time to Los Angeles. The Israeli occupation thwarted the natural increase of the community in Palestine by blocking migration from Arab countries.}} "During 1948, out of a total of 10,000 residents left in the Old City, 6,000 were Armenians. Equipped only with makeshift weapons, the Armenian civil guards made a valiant defense. The Armenian Quarter suffered considerable damage from the Hagana shelling of the Old City. Forty civilians lost their lives and another 250 were wounded. Since 1967, the Armenian Patriarchate has lost several plots of land in Jerusalem through confiscation. All the land below the western side of the ramparts from outside the walls to the old Fast Hotel was confiscated for so-called public purposes. In 1982, the Israeli Interior Ministry refused to renew the visa of Archbishop Karekin Kazandjian, the Gra.nd Sacristan of the Patriarchate (equivalent to deputy Patriarch), and issued a deportation order. All the Churches and other public bodies stood behind the Armenian Patriarchate in an act of solidarity. This tension lasted for eight years, ending only when Kazandjian was elected Armenian Patriarch of Istanbul. The Armenian Patriarchate, like other institutions, has great difficulty obtaining building permits. Work on the Armenian Church on Mt. Zion has been delayed for 20 years due to denial of building permits. In the Armenian Quarter settlers have tried several times to buy property, without success. " The Armenian Patriarchate during the intifada and today takes firm positions on human rights and justice issues affecting the Palestinian people. Along with the Greek and Latin Patriarchs, it has been a signatory to over twenty petitions of protest during the intifada and today. Before and during the intifada there were scores of Armenian youth arrested in Bethlehem, Ramallah, and Jerusalem. Haroutune Gulezian, an Armenian youth, was martyred while leading a demonstration in August 1991 in Ramallah. He is buried in the Armenian cemetery in Jerusalem. }} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least I'm scared of from are the Jews. I don't mind meeting them in the dark. Those that survive will have "nice" Armenian memories. Same goes for British - Anglo-Saxon "brave and bold" huligans and freaking circumsized turks! Did I say again circumsized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamavor Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Haredy Jews are those stinky types that do not take shower for months. Even Bedouin Arabs do not stink that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 (edited) What's worse is that they walk around like that during summer. I've seen several of them in Antwerp. They sure look funny on their bikes and their offspring who follow them. Edited March 17, 2005 by Nakharar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
