      Not entirely true. Go eat a ham sandwich outside a Hasidic synagogue when they’re being let out of temple; probably gonna cause a stir. Especially if said temple is in Israel proper.

      Granted, I’d find it hard to believe such a sandwich eater wasn’t trying to stir shit, so maybe getting yelled at is justified….but you see my point, i hope

        Adding context that makes it an obvious attempt to insulting does not contradict the statement that they don’t care about others eating ham. They care about the obvious intent to be offensive.

        Keep in mind that if someone was eating a sandwich it would be hard for them to even know if it was ham without the person making a scene about it.
