The provocations by the ultra-Orthodox individuals and groups (garbage throwing, verbal assault) predate your involvement. And they happened today beyond your control. Counter-protests, despite your wishes, rarely go peacefully.

Last week in the Times of Israel comments, you wrote: “And on my part, I’m trying my best to make inroads in the chareidi communities and trying to get the hotheads to stop acting disgustingly towards people who offend their sensibilities.”

Any progress on this front?
