Intra-Religious Violence

Just reported on Ynet, a haredi family has complained to police that their eleven year old boy was attacked in Jerusalem by secular thugs.

Whether or not this story proves true, it is imperative that all Jews recognize that violence directed against children, or indeed, any non-threat, is antithetical to Torah values, and antithetical to secular ethical systems as well. It must be publicly stated that such Jew-on-Jew violence is horrifying and must be stopped.

" Jew-on-Jew violence is horrifying and must be stopped"
this say seems to implicate that other violences are ok.

Of course there are types of violence that are OK. This post does not serve to discuss when and where violence is acceptable, it simply denounces the violence discussed in this and the previous post.
