Police forcibly removed Haredi protesters who were shouting 'Sheva'as' at the 'Basmeta' cafe in Jerusalem, according to journalist Inbar Twizer (N12). The incident is the latest in a series of demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox activists against businesses open on Shabbat.
Police forcibly removed Haredi protesters from the 'Basmeta' cafe on Agrippas Street in Jerusalem on Saturday morning, journalist Inbar Twizer (N12) reported. The protesters were shouting 'Sheva'as' — a derogatory term — at patrons inside the cafe, which remains open on Shabbat. The forcible removal marks an escalation in law enforcement's response to the ongoing demonstrations, which have included overturned tables and banging on windows in previous weeks. As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, a long line of supporters gathered at the same cafe a week after an earlier protest. The demonstrations are part of a campaign by ultra-Orthodox activists, particularly from the Edah HaCharedit, against businesses operating on the Sabbath in Jerusalem.
