In just this month alone, they have protested, with the same stone-throwing intensity, the installation of a municipal parking lot near Jerusalem’s tourist-heavy Old City that would remain open on the Sabbath; in late June they protested (albeit much more peacefully than they have in years past) the city’s annual gay-pride parade...
