A new storm may be brewing in the chareidi world after the son of a close aide to one of Yerushalayim’s leading Rebbes was arrested Monday night on charges of desertion from the IDF and transferred to a military prison.
The young man, a ben Torah who was planning to travel with his family to the United States for his brother’s wedding, was detained when he arrived at the draft office to handle paperwork ahead of his trip abroad. During the visit, military police reportedly took him into custody and transferred him to a detention facility. Before being taken away, he managed to make a brief phone call to his wife, informing her of his arrest and that he would be held for the coming days.
Within the chassidus, efforts are underway to resolve the matter discreetly. Senior community figures and influential askanim have been mobilized to negotiate behind the scenes and prevent the situation from escalating publicly. For now, the leadership has imposed a media blackout, preferring to deal with the authorities quietly.
However, voices inside the group warned that the restraint might not last if the matter isn’t resolved swiftly. “If we don’t see a change within the next 24 hours, Eretz Yisroel will burn,” one source said. “What happened in Ateres Shlomo will look like child’s play compared to what’s coming.”

The Zionist Erev Rav are anxiously waiting for next protest – the real one. They threatened if the arrested will not be soon released, last week’s Atzeres of hundreds of thousands of people will be like a midget to the upcoming protest.
“If we don’t see a change within the next 24 hours, Eretz Yisroel will burn,”
That sounds exactly like the way Al Sharpton talks. And for that matter it sounds just like the Zionist movement of seventy five years ago who insisted they were no longer going be the “Galut Jew” who doesn’t fight back, that I grew up hearing so much criticism of them and their attitude.
You seem confused. They obviously mean tires in the streets, not lihavdil elef havdalos to anything from that rasha.
The key difference between the unimaginable hisgarus baumos of the Zionists and, lihavdil, the threats by these chassidim is the object of that threat. The Zionists threatened the gentiles, which is forbidden due to hisgarus baumos and related issues. On the other hand, these Jews threatened the Zionists, and those threats do not have that issue.
So there is no hisgarus baumos when dealing with “Zionists” Why not? What Torah source do you have for that. Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky certainly held otherwise. As quoted by Rav Yosef Elyah Henkin he was of the opinion that militant Zionists and their militant opponents were both equally guilty of the violating the Shalos Shevous and hisgarus baumos. Tell me the Torah source that it is OK like what you accuse the Zionists of when you deal with them. No boich svoras!
