Columnist Odelia Kedmi argues that both Haredi and Israeli youth learned from the 2023 Kaplan protests that violence is effective, criticizing the lack of standing for Kaplan activists to condemn Haredi violence.
Columnist Odelia Kedmi posted a brief statement on a right-wing the source arguing that both Haredi and Israeli youth have learned from the 2023 Kaplan protests that violence is effective. Kedmi writes: "The Haredim and Israeli youth learned one lesson from the Kaplan protest in 2023: violence pays off. How can you complain to them about it?"
The statement reflects ongoing political and social tensions in Israel over protest tactics, particularly between anti-government (Kaplan) and Haredi demonstrators. Kedmi, a journalist associated with right-wing media, provides no specific examples or evidence in the message.
This follows prior reporting by The Zioneer on a similar argument by another Haredi journalist, Israel Friedman, who also criticized Kaplan activists while discussing Haredi protest violence. Kedmi's framing mirrors that position without elaboration.
