And if you think riots are initiated only by arabs .... today ultra-orthodox jews rioted in their Mea Shearim neighbourhood against compulsory conscription to military service; they have avoided this legislature since the founding of the State of Israel. But of course breaking the law for over 60 years has not put anyone of them in jail, nor detained, nor charged .... http://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Dozens-of-ultra-orthodox-protest-Army-conscription-near-Jerusalem-416707
And talking about justice ... jewish supermodel Bar Rafaeli will be married next week and doting govt ministers immediately called for a no-fly zone over the Carmel Forest where the wedding would be held; that means no commercial or private or military aircrafts allowed to fly over there. Halloo? For a wedding? There was a public outcry and finally today the Minister of Transport called off the no-fly order because "the skies of Israel belong to all Israelis" ... I know most of you reading this who live outside of our area find this at least amusing ... or at most shocked by the ludicrous and blatent flouting of law and order; or democratic equality; or common sense ... but this is a reality here.
