Ultra-Orthodox rabbis and their supporters are targeting Arab workers in the Israeli town of Beitar Illit.

According to the ultra-Orthodox,  Arab workers who enter the town are harmful to the daughters of Israel and create serious spiritual problems:

“..a large group of Beit Illit residents has organized with the support of local rabbis in an effort to expel Arab workers from the town. “They are harmful to the daughters of Israel and create serious spiritual problems in the town,” said the residents. …

…There has always been tension between the town’s residents and the Arab workers who enter the town to make a living. According to the two groups, calls to expel the Arab workers have increased in recent weeks. The Arab workers are mainly employed by the transportation company, Illit, which operates lines that take passengers outside the town, and by Rami Levi’s grocery store, Hashikma. The transportation company employees come 120 drivers, and Rami Levi employees about 40 workers.

In order to solve the so-called problem, rabbis in the city agreed during an emergency meeting following conversations with Illit and Hashikma to appoint inspectors to oversee the work done by the Arab workers. Every Arab worker suspected of attempting to harm the residents or the values of the town will be kicked out.” {Source: Ynet News}

Beit Illit lies 10 kilometres south of Jerusalem in the Judean mountains.
