The Ultra-Orthodox Take to the Streets

The protest of the extremist ultra-orthodox paralyzed the entrance to

Jerusalem today for all hours of the afternoon. The police, prepared with

reinforcements, held its restraint and tried to disburse the demonstrations
in relative peace. When this wasn’t reciprocated by the other side, force

was used and riot control measures were taken. The ultra-orthodox protest

that started in the afternoon at the Knesset, collided with other
demonstrations, by the disabled and police retirees. In protest of the arrest

of forty six Yeshiva students who refused to report to the drafting office,

as well as according to them, due to the escalation in the police’s response.
But not only police officers are measured for their patience across from a

violent demonstration, property damage and even throwing of stones at
them, so are drivers and bystanders who happen to be at demonstration

locations and their schedule is disrupted. Either way, the police now stands

helpless against the expanding protest, as the top ranks of the extremist
Jerusalem Branch aren’t signaling that it’s nearing its end.
