Ahhh, at last, our insane front is revealed to the world!

Quick summary:
In the recent municipal election in Jerusalem, the dominant religious political group (known here as "Haredim") was split between two of their candidates, and a secular candidate name Nir Barkat managed to get elected mayor.

As one of his official acts as mayor, he approved the opening of the Safra parking lot on saturdays to relieve some of the pressure on the no-parking reality of the ancient city in Jerusalem (Near the western wall, al-aqsa mosque and other holy places).

This caused quite a bit of unrest from the Haredim due to the breaking of their Status Quo, which was basically "seculars don't fuck with Jerusalem, we don't fuck with the rest of the country".

Note - There is no actual violation of Jewish law on behalf of the Jerusalem municipality. There is no city employee guarding the parking lot. There is no city employee actually driving on behalf of the city. The only actual event was that a steel chain closing the parking lot off on saturdays was removed.

After the original riots a few weeks ago, which led to several arrests, Mayor Barkat seemed to back down and close the parking lot, but then requested permission from the court to open a different parking lot (Karta), which was under some legal dispute at the time. This threw the "decision ball" away from the city and into the courts, which, legally, had no choice but to approve the opening.

So now the parking lot is open, the Haredim are protesting and there is a chance for actual Government-Religion seperation in the city of Jerusalem.
Let's hope it lasts.

And Throbbin - They don't cut their hair because they grow it in the firstplace for religious purposes, and they don't have to get a real job, because they have 8-12 kids per family and get enough money for each kid from the government to be able to exist just above the poverty line, which frees them to spend the rest of their time telling the rest of us what we're doing wrong.

'scuse me but, uh, I think you dropped your plane over there. Uh, yeah, over by the big smokey burny thing on the ground. I'm pretty sure that's zoned no-parking, so you might wanna move it so you don't get a ticket. You're welcome and have a nice day!

Probably stage?? WTF is wrong with you people. Did you lose any and all critical thinking skills?

I'm supposed to believe a tow truck driver is facing INTO oncoming traffic to tow a car incorrectly (by the drive wheels) and hooked up to the car from behind where there should be other parked cars. (How is he planning to turn around or tow the car away into on-coming traffic?)

Why wouldn't he just pull up in front of the SUV where there is no parking (because of the intersection) and hook up to the car and maybe use dollies for the rear wheels?

You do realize you cannot tow a car like that without getting a strap on the steering wheel??!!

Also, it would be impossible for this car to pull a tow truck unless the driver left the truck in neutral AND didn't use any parking brake.

Didn't it seem odd to you the driver was unconcerned when she started the engine? Let alone when the tow truck is moving he stands there and finally slowly jobs behind the truck. Never tries to get into the cab and hit the brakes.

That's no parking lot. It's a space station.

Best back-stage clip ever - love the fridge and the "no parking" sign.

LMFAO "that, and the fact it doesn't go fast enough"

The parking lot bit FTW!!!

It may be advanced, but where was the humor? Somebody throw a pie, for pete's sake!

In all seriousness, this went quite a bit over my head, but is very intrigueing. One of the, I think, simpler things, like removing the no parking sign is awesomely awesome.

Is this the indoctrination you are exposed to in America? The implantation of a set system that must never change.... No right turn... no left turn... gas... carwash... subway... don't walk... no parking... tow way zone... uptown... downtown... 1st avenue... home sweet home... Now you sing it... Clearly its memory implanted hypnotic focus words. Bloody CIA and their MK ULTRA experiments in the 60s.
