Following the passing of the reasonableness bill by the Knesset on Monday afternoon, angry anarchists continued protesting outside the Knesset.

Some of the protesters headed toward Begin Highway, Jerusalem’s main highway, and blocked traffic at the height of rush hour near the Kiryat Moshe intersection.

At the same time, protesters in Tel Aviv blocked major intersections there.

Over 20 protesters have been arrested since Monday morning, including one protester who bit a police officer. Three police officers were injured and evacuated to Shaare Tzedek Hospital for treatment.

Police attempted to disperse the protesters with water cannons, to no avail.

  1. when you are hungry. do not knock on my door……the flag, the star the people are all good, this is not our people…..this is not ours

  2. Can you imagine? One bit a police officer??
    In the UK, such a thing would have you put behind bars for many years to come, whether in a jail or hospital, they’d section you for such animal-istic behaviour.

  3. Easily less than a hundred people yet the police allowed them to block a major Jerusalem highway during rush hour. Double standards indeed.
