A very disturbing post on the latest religious unrest in Israel on the website Failed Messiah.
Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman reportedly denounced secular Israelis as a “mixed multitude” who hate the Jews – a biblical reference to Egyptians and others who left Egypt with the Israelites and were regarded as a bad spiritual influence by commentators.
According to the website, Rabbi Steinman declared: “Now that we see the violence, the baseless hate, the harassment [against Charedim], we know and we understand that their ways are not like our ways, and that we certainly must distance ourselves from them, for their inside is not like their outside [ie their internal state is not like they try to appear]. They are a mixed multitude who hate the Jews.”
