Here is Bibi's views on it, you can take your defense of Orthodox obnoxiousness up with him:

"In a Western, liberal democracy, the public realm is open and safe for all, men and women both, and neither harassment nor discrimination have any place there,"

And that's fine...if they wish to be a western, liberal, secular state.

But don't try to have it both ways. And that's my point.

“And that’s fine...if they wish to be a western, liberal, secular state. But don’t try to have it both ways. And that’s my point.”

Israel is a secular, liberal, state. As a secular state, we permit Jewish people to be as Orthodox or not as they want. Here, this neighborhood, was (apparently) made of weirdo Mizrahim from Yemen.

Such neighborhoods are bad places to be for outsiders, just like there are bad neighborhoods for outsiders in the USA. Harlem comes to mind.

It could have been worse; if she was in an arab neighborhood, she would have been brutally raped, beaten, held captive, and eventually killed or sold into slavery.

Of course, that would not be news worthy.

Only when the random Jewish folk act weird is there a controversy.
