Rioting on Shabbos? In Yirushalayim? 'Haredim'? Shocked, I'm shocked. Miriam, what's the problem there? Can you report you readership what is the problem with those people there?
I heard so many different versions and I am going to have a look myself this Shabbat.
I also heard that mostly teenagers are demonstrating and for them it is also an act of entertainment. Nevertheless, the police should show that much violence.
I must admit that I am appalled by these riots. I don't want any prejudice anyone, though. No one I know here supports this riots. My wife was paged because of this late on Shabbos before Motzei Shabbat. So, yes, it does desecrate Shabbat for me. It's terrible. Riot on Shabbos? Impossible. What a mess. Sorry, I don't want to comment any further on this issue, not in English. It is not fit for international non-Israeli readers.
After years of living in Jerusalem, I decided to betray the city by moving to Tel Aviv.:-) In the meantime I returned to the Holy City. It is actually very good to be back in Jerusalem !!!
Nevertheless, I am still writing about Jerusalem but also include many other places in Israel.
Until some years ago, I was a Yeshiva (Michlalah) student. First with the national religious and later with the Litvishe. Also got in contact with Chassidut and this subject and lifestyle has never left me.

They're only desecrating shabbos further by rioting and acting with violence. The police aren't at fault for acting back with violence.
