"Ultra-Orthodox Jews under the influence of alcohol attacked two Arab cab drivers and a policeman in Jerusalem on Monday, lightly wounding them.

On Joseph Karo Street, dozens of drunken ultra-Orthodox Jews attacked an Arab cab driver. When police arrived at the scene to rescue the driver, they also beat the policemen, and tried to steal equipment from the police car. The cab driver sustained light wounds. Police dispersed the crowd and arrested three suspects.

Later in the day, on Highway No. 1, ultra-Orthodox Jews hurled stones at an Arab cab near the Novotel Hotel in the capital. The driver of the cab was taken to Hadassah University Hospital, Mt Scopus. Police forces were searching the area in an effort to locate the attackers.

Drunken Haredim also hurled stones at passing vehicles in the Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood in Jerusalem."

2. Crime blotter

Is that what I/P has become? Anytime anyone either Israeli or Palestinian does ANYTHING?

3. Throwing stones is now merely a crime?

...I thought it was an act of terrorism warranting deadly response.

I didn't know that ultra-Orthodox Jews ever got that drunk. Oh well, live and learn.

7. Indeed

If these people had committed the crime of being born with the wrong last name, they'd have been shot and their home demolished.

8. They should consider themselves very fortunate...

that cabbies aren't well armed. I think an assault charge is in order.
