Jewish Nut Jobs

    Hundreds of ultra-orthodox Jews have clashed with police in Jerusalem for a third consecutive Saturday over a car park which opens on the Sabbath.
    Police said the protesters, wearing traditional Hassidic clothing, threw stones and jumped in front of vehicles.
    The Sabbath is observed by religious Jews as a day of rest, when working, driving and trading are forbidden.
    The protesters say the municipal car park will attract tourists and encourage business on the holy day.
    Protesters, praying and chanting "Shabbes" - the Yiddish word for Sabbath - gathered at a police cordon at the entrance to the car park, near Jerusalem's Old City.
    Some lay in the road to prevent cars from entering.
    "Hundreds of ultra-orthodox tried to overrun police barricades and threw stones at our men in several sectors of Jerusalem," police spokesman Schmuel Ben Rubi, told the AFP news agency .
    He said there had been no injuries or arrests so far.
    However, television footage showed people in religious clothing being moved by police or put into police cars.
    One man who had crawled underneath the wheels of a stationary bus was reported to have been taken away by police.
    There were also clashes in the nearby ultra-orthodox neighbourhood of Mea Shearim, where police had been deployed.
    The car park was opened by the Jerusalem municipality last month to provide extra facilities for visitors to the city.
    But the protesters are angry at what they see as a move which will "profane" the Sabbath.
    The row has highlighted tensions between Jerusalem's ultra-orthodox Jews, known as Haredim, and the majority secular population.

    "While we do not wish in any way to detract from devotion to Our Lady, we would also wish to avoid anything which might lead to superstition,' said Fr Paul Finnerty."

    Is one of the best quotes a man can say about a religion, beleiving in a "higher being" says this is supersticious??? Seriously?

    I believe in there's a God, that runs everything, but I'm not religious. So, where do I fit in?

    There is nothing nutty about this at all its in the quote

    "The Sabbath is observed by religious Jews as a day of rest, when working, driving and trading are forbidden"

    Every religion has its own the Catholic religion has the same. No meat good Friday/Ash wednesday.

    Maybe its just that boards is a place where to be spiritually dedicated is nuts or maybe its just so many people lack any type of faith these days that they see the need to be so critical of others.

    I would have thought this thread better worded

    Israelies are no better than the rest of the world in there observence of holy days But then again muslins, hindus and buddahs do actually practice what the preach

    Granted the 12 virgins are a bit hopefull in a country where more boys than girls are encouraged but that is faith!

    Is protesting/rioting not 'work'?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    I question how a car park will attract tourists. Surely people go to Jerusalem for a nice old pray.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    How come they arent protesting against the police working? If they got rid of them they could riot to their hearts content,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,391 ✭✭✭Captain-America


    Technically rioting is working isn't it?

    Or is it only working for money?

    Can I do volunteer work on the Sabbath?

    I must research this.

    I don't agree with how they are going about this, but the Israeli Government agreed with them in 1948 that the Shabbat would be respected:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel#Secular-religious_status_quo

    If Israel is going to be a Jewish state by character maybe respecting the Shabbat would be a good thing culturally?

    My point being, my child, that getting hung up on religion is never a good idea.

    The glories of our blood and state
    Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate,
    Death lays his icy hand on kings.
    Scepter and crown
    Must tumble down,
    And, in the dust, be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

    If the definition of work excludes bowling, and turning off light switches, it should exclude rioting.




    They should riot the next day.

    Not at all, every time a teenage suicide bomber blows himself up thats another virgin waiting for the next hero. No one ever specified what sex the virgins would be.


    Apart from that I always had a problem with the whole "virgins in waiting" thing. I mean, you slaughter yourself for your cause and your "reward" is being stuck for eternity with meek youngsters who dont even know how to give you a good ride???? sounds like paradise alright
