Anyone who blocks highways or takes over public or private facilities needs to be violently removed if they refuse a lawful order. The ultra orthodox do not do their fair share in Israel. They are about as useful as Islamist clerics in protecting the Country.
Just for balance— In July and August 2023, thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip took to the streets to protest chronic power outages, poor economic conditions in the territory, and Hamas’s heavy taxation of stipends to the poor paid by Qatar.
The rallies, organized by a grassroots online movement called “Alvirus Alsakher” (The mocking virus), were a rare public display of discontent against the ruling Hamas government. Hamas bars most demonstrations and public displays of discontent and people were attacked, cell phones broken, cameras smashed. I guess it was a good time for Hamas to massacre Israelis and round up hundreds of hostages to take the people’s minds off the fact that Gazans need new leadership.
