More riots

My goodness! New riots by the ultra-orthodox here in Jerusalem. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1110855.html and http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1251145144319&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull I happened to be near the New Gate and saw hundreds of ultra-orthodox Jews shouting at cars that passed by, some even jumping onto the roads to stop cars ...... it's the Sabbath and driving cars is prohibited. This new level of violence is alarming, and the internal fighting between secular and religious Jews is deepening.
