Ultra-Orthodox MK attacked in Beit Shemesh for supporting IDF draft
Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush was attacked earlier today by an angry mob of ultra-Orthodox residents of Beit Shemesh over his support for Israeli draft laws.
Videos of the incident show Porush escaping several dozen men who chased him out of the neighborhood and damaged his car.
שר הבטחון ליברמן דורש תמיד מחברי הכנסת החרדיים לגנות את הקיצוניים בזמן שהם עצמם מותקפים. הנה מה שעשו אותם סיקריקים הבוקר לסגן השר פרוש אחרי התפילה. pic.twitter.com/fSN7NdMbB4

Porush himself is ultra-Orthodox, and was in the city for a visit to his rabbi’s home.
