Hareidim Continue Protesting March
Keeping police occupied while the decision is being deliberated as to whether or not to withdraw a permit for the Parade scheduled to take place in Jerusalem on Friday, members of the hareidi-Orthodox community in Jerusalem and other areas are stepping-up protests today.
At Kikar Shabbat, which borders the Geula and Meah Shearim neighborhoods in the holy capital city, oil was spilled on the roadway to halt traffic.
In Beit Shemesh, hareidi religious Jews closed down Yarden Street with a makeshift roadblock.
When one bus driver tried to bypass the roadblock, the vehicle was pelted with eggs and rocks.
Similar incidents are being reported in other areas as well.
Notes are being left as well, warning that if the parade does take place, the protest actions will significantly increase.

warning to all Americans to stay away from these hafganas. if you are caught by the copsfor just watching you will be subject to much worse treatment and beatings than the Israelis. They despise American troublemakers and will lock you up with the worst chayos to teach you a lesson. you will also not be allowed to call your parents or the embassy for help.

to the one warning all the americans that is simply not true they do call the embassy and if they don't you can sue them for violating international law, and they do allow one phone call although maybe not longdistance and they do the talking on that call.
