Jerusalem Post Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World
Jerusalem Post's YAAKOV KATZ reports....
... the right-wing on Monday proved to the police and the government they have the ability and the manpower to paralyze the country in protest of the disengagement plan. They were taken by surprise after activists succeeded in blocking 40 main intersections and roads across the country simultaneously. By Monday evening, close to 300 protestors had been arrested as thousands of policemen worked throughout the afternoon to disperse the demonstrators and reopen the roads.
Right-wing activists also planted fake bombs in Jerusalem on Monday in protest of the pullout plan. Police sappers discovered a bag on Rehov Bar Ilan containing a note reading: "The disengagement will explode in our faces. This is just the beginning of a stubborn struggle." Later in the day, another bag with wires and nails protruding out was discovered at a Jerusalem city bus stop. The bag also contained a note reading "Jews do not expel Jews."
