Commentator Yotam Zamir said that allowing Kaplan protest roadblocks for months but now telling Haredi protesters they cannot do the same is inconsistent, after a hit-and-run incident at a Jerusalem faction demonstration.
Commentator Yotam Zamir, in remarks carried by Yinon Magal's channel, defended protesters of the Jerusalem faction after a hit-and-run incident at their demonstration. 'If you let Kaplan drive the country crazy for a whole year, you cannot tell Haredim that from now on it's forbidden for them,' Zamir said. The statement reflects a growing debate over differential enforcement of protest rules in Israel. Earlier, commentator Yinon Magal described the incident as part of 'ongoing chaos.' The Jerusalem faction demonstration has drawn criticism and support amid tensions over Haredi military service and other policies.
