Haredim dub women Western Wall worshippers 'Nazis'

Confrontation broke out in the Western Wall on Friday, as Haredi worshippers protested an attempt by members of a women's organization to conduct a massive prayer session at the holy site by calling out "not-Jews" and "Nazis," Army Radio reported on Friday.

About 200 members of the "Women of the Wall" organization arrived at the Western Wall in order to take part in the monthly Rosh Hodesh prayer, and to protest the arrest of their fellow member at the site.

Police officers separated the two sides after Haredi worshipers approached the women's group members and yelled out "not Jewish, send them to church," and "Nazis, blasphemy."

Chairman of the "Women of the Wall" organization, Anat Hoffman, saud that the group's actions were not meant a provocation but as a silent protest against the government's holy site bill which she claims discriminates against women.

Last month, police arrested Nofat Frankel who was praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, due to the fact that she was wrapped in a prayer shawl (tallit).

2. Apparently, it has something to do with the last entrails of someone ELSE.
