An Ashdod resident on Sunday filed a police complaint against Channel 10 for broadcasting a story, in which a secular individual said that he was “likely” to pick up a gun and start shooting Hareidi Jews. The complainant, Snir Elmaliach, a Hareidi Jew, said that it was untenable that the channel would broadcast the story without condemning it. Elmaliach said that similar to concerns in the past when individuals condemned the policies of Yitzchak Rabin, it was not unlikely that someone would act on these threats, even if the individual making them did not.
Elmaliach last week filed a complaint with police over swastikas and anti-Hareidi slogans that were spray painted on buildings in Ashdod last week. Channel 10 has not addressed the new complaint.
