MK Yisrael Eichler (UTJ) has harshly condemned police for their use of stun grenades yesterday in Meah She'arim, which resulted in a nine-year-old girl being injured.
"This is the result of media incitement," he said, adding that he had already warned many times in recent weeks that the incitement and "blood libels" against the haredi community for being "spreaders of virus" could end in actual violence.
"This wouldn't have happened in any other community," he added. "Leftists demonstrate in Tel Aviv and the police protect their right to do so. But in Meah She'arim, police use violence against people who were praying. If this happened to any other sector in society, there would be open rebellion."
