Hundreds of Haredim clashed with police Saturday over the opening of Jerusalem's Karta parking lot on weekends, in what has recently become a weekly routine.

The protestors arrived at a central junction in the city and were prevented by police from marching towards the controversial lot.

The marchers clashed with police, and a few protesters sat on the road to block it, but were evacuated by police. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.

Among the ultra-Orthodox demonstrators were also children who ran into the street, disrupting traffic on the main road. No injuries have been reported thus far.

Earlier, haredim threw stones at passing vehicles on Jerusalem's main streets.

No injuries were reported but four vehicles were damaged.

Police have launched a search for the culprits.

The protest against the opening of the Karta lot on Shabbat has broken out every Saturday evening in the weeks since Jerusalem's municipality announced its intention to keep the lot open, in order to ease weekend parking troubles in the city.

It's time to send in the goons.

What a disgrace... lunatics....stop
their free meal tickets...
make the religious crazies work like
anyone who cares about their family.

But first lock them up.... no more excuses
Who would want to visit Jerusalem with
this going on.....

[Ahavah]

Agreed, Phillip. This is what you get when you've let a whole generation of usless idlers loose on the city. It's time to go with a NT teaching "those who will not work should not eat."

[Mr. Apikoros]

If I were that soldier, I'd drag that yeshiva bochur bastard to jail by his pais.

[Chazak]

Again drive thru New Square and Kiryas Joel on Shabbos as a Protest. Maybe some college types could organize this.

[Mr. Apikoros]

I'd love to take part, if I could drive thru in an M-1 Abrams tank.

Mr Apikoros, to do the things you suggest, you'd have to actually 1. identify with the Jewish people, 2. and go to Israel.

But we understand your consistent desire to do bodily harm to Jews, as viewed through your history of bizarre Nazi obsessed posts, and your stated history of violent attacks on Jews.

[Mr. Apikoros]

Alternative Childcare:

First of all, I do identify with Jews. If I didn't, I wouldn't be posting here.

What I don't identify with are Jewish Talibanistas, of which you're one, and which abound in parasitic shitholes such as Kiryas Joel, New Square, that hellhole which used to be the curiously named Homowack Lodge, large parts of Brooklyn, and last but far from least, Mea Shearim.

I also don't identify with so-called Jews calling me a Nazi. You obviously have major psychological issues, and are in desperate need of an attitude adjustment.

[Mr. Apikoros]

I forgot Lakewood, NJ.

[alternative childcare]

In short, you want to drive tanks through all neighborhoods with observant, tefilin wearing ("horns" as you put it), non intermarried, non Nazi worshipping Jews.

I don't think repeatedly posting hate mail against Jews equals identifying with Jews.
You are an elderly man who repeatedly threatens Jews with violence, yet I'm the one who needs an attitude adjustment?

[Mr. Apikoros]

You've put words in my mouth one time too many, asshat.

If you're what Judaism is about, where can I convert to Catholicism?

Fortunately for us Jews, you're what paranoid schizophrenia is all about. Go take a double dose of Stelazine, you despicable excuse for a maggot.

P.S: I can only drive one tank at a time.
