Gideon Levy writes: "The ultra-Orthodox (Haredim) have for years been a target of secular hatred."

"Their otherness, their insulation, their strange customs and mumbling leaders, their attitude toward women, the religious coercion and particularly the fact that they don’t serve in the army (God forbid), don’t study core subjects and in many cases don’t work, fanned the fire against them."

"The hatred of them was blind, burning, exaggerated and unworthy, at times resembling antisemitism. Some of the expressions used to describe them are among the ugliest and repulsive ever heard here."
