Violence in Jerusalem

Riots in Jerusalem over the recent arrest of an ultra-Orthodox woman suspected of starving her 3-year-old son escalated as demonstrators concluded their third consecutive day of violent protests with no indication that they were planning to ease up.

Here are some pictures.


The violence of the Ultraorthodox Jews in the settlements and their disregard to the rule of law, of international humanitarian law, encouraged by Israel, was going to pour out to Israeli society as a whole, and this is what we are witnessing now.
But we are not seeing these pictures in most western newspapers who seem to shy from publishing these pictures while when Muslims demonstrate against Cartoons, it becomes the single news item around the world.
