Shabbas! YouTube Post
I posted the following video on YouTube. These guys were really obnoxious ultra-orthodox Jews in the Shuk that were harassing some Arabs who failed to close their shop before the beginning of Shabbat. Afterward, one of the Arabs said he had already been to jail for hurting another Jew who was chanting "shabbas" at him.

"harassing"? Chanting in protest at what someone does is harassing? You foolish liberal - this is what democracy looks like. If you don't like what people are doing you don't blow yourself up, or fight violently. The Torah (Gandhi-like) teaches to you to non-violently protest.
"some Arabs"
Clearly the worker was smoking to show that he was Jewish. Great, deep knowledge you have about Judaism, you liberal.
who failed to close their shop before the beginning of Shabbat.
What are you talking about? This takes place in the morning.
Here's the fully story. Shabbos is a big deal to Jews. Jews consider Shabbos observance right up there with believing in G-d, not killing, etc . . . . That's why Zachor es yom haShabbos likadsho is in the ten commandments. Breaking the Shabbos is about as offensive to a Jew as lighting a cross is to a black, or burning an Israeli flag is to a Zionist.
You would expect that as a liberal you would be more sensitive to people with a different perspective than you. Ha ha, just kidding - GO SHARPTON!!!
