Religious Jews stir dissent in Old City

Israel News.Net
Saturday 4th July, 2009

Religious Jews rioted in Jerusalem on Saturday, throwing stones and scuffling with police.

The ultra-orthodox demonstrators had been protesting the opening of a parking lot on the Sabbath.

The demonstrators accused the government of allowing the biblical holy day of rest to be desecrated.

Jewish religious law forbids driving on the
Sabbath.

The parking lot, which has been built to accommodate an influx of Israeli visitors to Jerusalem's Old City, has created a deep divide between orthodox and secular Jews.

Riots first erupted last month when the Jerusalem Municipality opened another lot near the Old City to ease the severe shortage of parking.

Secular Jews have become concerned at the violence levels and have demanded the city be open to them.

Religious Jews stir dissent in Old City

No glory road songs from the messianics? My!

No disbelief in orthodox beliefs of 4000 years old fireside rants?

Rather clear who the bigots are!

We know you make numerous accusations and ...

...and claims. I too use the word, but there is a difference between our usages!

I on the one hand am specicfic about what I am saying is hate and use an accompanying issue/reference. You on the other hand provide nothing but a messianic claim of hate.

So back up your claim! The only hate I find sofar on this thread comes from the jews in the story and you. The jews because its 4000 year old tradition (nonsense~when chariots were banned)! You with comparable messianics only!

But go ahead make something of my use of words in the Post of 12:05pm, lets see what you call 'hate'. Do you have to copy from a dictionary? Should I withdraw the question for you, as its too difficult?

All one need do is look at what you post to understand the meaning of hate.
Have you ever said anything nice about Jewish or Christian people?
I see lots of flowery bullsh!t regarding Muslims or Persians but for the Jews/Christians it’s nothing but slams from you!
Get a grip and a clue the holier then thou attitude makes you come off as an even bigger a$$h0l3.
