Haredi protesters: Shabbat desecraters must die!
Masses of haredim demonstrated and hurled rocks at police in Jerusalem on Saturday in an ongoing protest against the opening of a parking lot on Shabbat to accommodate weekend visitors to the Old City.
The protesters chanted that anyone who desecrates Shabbat "must die." To police seeking to rein them in, they warned, "You will burn in the fire of hell!"
The level of violence at the afternoon protest was lower than it was the previous weekend, police said. Setting the stage for further violent clashes, however, activists from the Eda Haredit were planning a major midweek demonstration in Jerusalem against the desecration of Shabbat.
