There's a common theme uniting the Selfishness & Ingratitude Rallies of Jerusalem and New York, and the campaigning regarding the Beit Shemesh elections this week. The common theme is the claim that the new Government draft laws, and the opposition to Mayor Moshe Abutbul, is persecution of charedim, based on anti-charedi hatred. I'm not claiming that there is no wrongful anti-charedi sentiment in Israel - of course there is. However, to label the aforementioned phenomena as "anti-charedi persecution" is simply false.
