(IsraelNN.com) Ultra orthodox Satmar Jews and police clashed violently in Jerusalem today following Satmar members' road block protests against building of Highway 6. The protestors want work to stop until ancient graves are relocated.
Video films showed that Satmar residents threw blocks and metal objects at police, who burst through a synagogue and violently beat several people in order to free a policeman who was trapped in the synagogue. Filmed pictures showed police overturning tables in the synagogue and kicking people even after the policeman had been rescued.
The relationship between Moshiach and the State of Israel is a very interesting one. Many Israeli's are angered, like petulant children, by being told what is right for them. When one's ego is greater than one's vision trouble always results.
Tick...tick...tick...goes the divine clock...

It seems to me a lot of these "ultra orthodox" care more about the dead than the living. They protest against desecration of Jewish graves but refuse to defend their country in the IDF to prevent more Jews from ending up in graves. Sick.
