I saw quite a few broken teeth and bloody faces there. Oh, and of course the battle between ultra-Orthodox and Israeli police in Mea Shearim - last summer, wasn't it? I also seem to remember at least one case of the ultra-Orthodox men throwing unmentionable articles (including dirty nappies) over the mehitza toward the women who were reading from the Torah at the kotel. I guess our religious zealots and their religious zealots have a lot more in common than we'd like to think. Hmmm, reminds me of the Brooklyn street fights between the Satmar and the Lubavitch.
