This Week in Haredi Jerusalem: Digest on Lag Ba’Omer [1]
“Hatred of Haredi People: People Comment on News Site Article Asking ‘Where’s Hitler?’
Popular news site Ynet published an article about the Hillula (celebration) in Meron, giving an overall explanation about the holiday, and news about bonfires being lit. The comments for the article, though, were outrageous and unfiltered. Here are some of the comments:
-’Thousands of primitive people.’
-’Mentally ill idol worshipers.’
-’Where’s Hezbollah when you need them?’
-’I hope a fire burns this human excrement.’
-‘A bomb should come down there and destroy them.’
-’Adolf are you alive?’

0202 Editor’s Notes:
[1] Lag BaOmer – a Jewish holiday commemorating the anniversary of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai’s death. Bar Yochai was a Mishnaic sage in the 2nd century who is believed to have known the deepest secrets of Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism. On Lag BaOmer, Jews traditionally light bonfires and visit the tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in the town of Meron.
