Tens of thousands protest against Emanuel Parents' Arrest

Over 85,000 people are demonstrating in Bnei Brak, and over 75,000 50,000 in Jerusalem to protest the imprisonment of 44 couples from Emanuel, who refused a directive from Israel's Supreme Court to send their children to school. The Supreme Court has alleged that discrimination takes place in the school, and that all students be admitted to the "Chassidic" track, regardless of their background or level of religious observance. The parents disagree that there is discrimination, since both Sephardi and Ashkenazi girls attend the special track, and both Sephardi an Ashkenazi parents are on their way to jail.

One of the signs held by a secular demonstrator read: "Secular Jews against the Supreme Court Dictatorship"

You can read more about the background on my post earlier today (make sure to read the comments.)

YNET reports:

Some 85,000 haredim gather in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak for 'mother of all protests' against decision to jail Ashkenazi parents who refused to send their daughters to school with Sephardic students. Children hold signs reading, 'High Court fascist'

Some 50,000 protestors flocked to Jerusalem's Yirmiyahu Street along with signs reading, "High Court against the people" and "God will rule for all eternity".

In Bnei Brak, children held signs reading, "The High Court is fascist" and "Flotilla terrorists free! Students' parents to jail."

I'm reminded of the State Attorney Uri Korb who dared to criticize judges in Israel. He was almost fired from his job...Latma presented the following satire video describing the Supreme Court's field trial of Uri Korb.
