Two women in their 30s throw objects at each other in drugstore during argument over their favorite, out-of-stock body lotion. In another Safed incident, two praying men exchange blows for right to open holy arc

Police officers from the Safed police department who were called on Thursday to a drugstore witnessed in astonishment two women in their 30s throwing items at each other and cursing each other. The reason: a bizarre fight over their favorite, out-of-stock body lotion while both were clutching the last tube. The officers arrested the two for questioning and released them on bail.

This morning the police officers were called again, this time to a synagogue. They found two beaten worshipers, one in his nose and mouth, and the other in his eye.

In an inquiry into the incident the police found that the two men in their 40s argued over the right to open the holy arc during the morning prayer. After receiving treatment, the two were questioned at the police station.

Safed police chief, Amos Shimoni, said, "We’re dealing with two serious cases. In the first case it was decided to release the two women after they testified on the matter. In the case of the two worshipers, both of whom still bear marks on their faces, we decided to keep them in custody for questioning and later they will be brought in front of judge at the Safed Magistrates Court".

"We can not ignore the fact that violence in Israeli society is on the rise in the past few years and we, the police, have to contend with even more severe cases. Luckily, the two incidents ended with light wounds, but we will be strict in cases of public disturbance, not to mention disturbance of holly places like a synagogue", he added.

How does a person fit a beaten worshiper into their nose, mouth, or eye?

Seems even synagogues get in the Christmas spirit(albeit a little delayed)

Maybe they need to call in Hamas to enforce peaceful behavior.

I give the edge to the guy with the fat lip, but the one with the black eye is a real fighter! He could come back in the last round.

THAT'S the spirit!

This made me remember a Free Republic thread from a couple years ago: Couple arrested after "Passion" debate

A couple who got into a dispute over a theological point after watching "The Passion of the Christ" were arrested after the argument turned violent.

The two left the movie theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity was human or symbolic, and the argument heated up when they got home, Melissa Davidson said. ...
