Answer to incitement: counter-campaign against 'Hardakim' campaign

The 'Hardakim' campaign has been conducted for two years, and caused quite a bit of verbal and physical attacks against haredi soldiers. Most of the attacks were in Mea Shearim in Jerusalem and in Beit Shemesh.

In light of the humiliating attack last Friday in Mea Shearim, a haredi tycoon decided to open an aggressive campaign against the despicable incitement campaign of Hardakim and for haredi soldiers who choose to serve in the IDF.

The aim of the campaign is not to convince yeshiva students toiling over their learning to be drafted, nor does it offer those who left the yeshiva to join the Orthodox army units, but to act against the hate campaign of the Hardakim which inserts into the Haredi public through advertisements and street posters.

Today (Monday), an initial meeting was held on the matter in a haredi advertising agency in the center of the country. Officials involved in integrating haredim in the IDF in general and in particular in the Shachar Association, a senior, founder of the Givati Brigade, and haredi public relations people. The conversation was joined by a number of wealthy haredi people, foreign residents via a conference call.

The benefactors expressed interest in the campaign, so that once the final decision regarding the ways of action is taken, these will inject funds to promote the idea and carry it out.

Since Hamodia newspaper was the only haredi newspaper which condemned the attack, ads/articles may also be posted there as part of the campaign.
